Sun Smart

I buy this for my whole family so it makes sense that I use it too. I do however find that it's a bit too greasy to use under my make up so prefer to use something different on my face. Apart from this factor I am impressed by this sunscreen. I love that it comes in a variety of sizes so it's perfect for having one in the car, in your bag and in the cupboard. The pump bottle is super handy because even my young son can pump it out and maintain his independence. I love that the Cancer Society is on this bottle because it makes me feel safe and secure in the knowledge that it comes straight from the cancer awareness organisation.

The smell of this is quite pleasant compared to other sunscreens. I don't like obvious smelling ones but a light scent is ok. The texture is a thick creamy consistency and I find that it spreads very easily but leaves a filmy residue. I don't mind this on my body but on my face it makes me feel oily. I reapply every two hours as suggested to maintain my coverage from the sun and this has served me well each summer. I hardly ever get sun burn because I have become so religious about putting sunscreen on. The only problem is I find it hard to remember to put it on in Winter.

I do find that the price for sunscreen in general could be cheaper considering it really is a necessity to keep our skin protected. I find that as the brand gets bigger the price does too!! This is frustrating for me because it is so necessary. I have been caught out with expiration dates before by not using the sunscreen fast enough. I found that I was using it after the expiration and as a result my skin actually burnt even after having sunscreen on and within three quarters of an hour of having applied it.

It's so surprising because I know it's not an anti-aging product but my skin has felt and looked so much better since using this all over my body. I only just took advice from my fellow BR babes about wearing sunscreen even in winter and my skin honestly feels amazing for it. I guess the environment plays a bigger part in how our skin feels than I thought. Slip, slop, slap and wrap Aotearoa!

Tips: Take note of expiration date and remember to slip, slop, slap and wrap even in winter x

Cancer Society sunscreen.

I like the value for money found in the big pump container. It can sit on the counter and everyone can see and apply it. The sunscreen itself goes on nicely, is not too thick and absorbs quickly. It does not last as long as some of the other products out there so it is still important to reapply it which can be tricky if you are out and about. I continue to buy this product.

A good Family Staple Item

There's so many different sunscreen brands out now. Cancer Society is such a good foundation. When my mum was sick with Cancer they gave lots of support. I wanted to try their products because I know that they are a conpany that gives back to New Zealanders.

I was given a large pump bottle of this sunscreen. It's a sturdy bottle. The plastic thats used is really thick and durable. I found the pump easy to use. The texture of this suncreen is just like a moisturiser. It doesn't leave a white film like other sunscreens do. I like to use it all over my body in Summer. When I swim I do need to re apply more sunscreen. I didn't notice a scent. One bottle lasted me a couple of months.

I believe this suncreen is a great staple to use for a family. Price wise sunscreens can be quite expensive. I notice sales pop up in the off season of summer. Thats when I purchase my sunscreen and stock up for summer. Over all a great item to buy and I will be buying more.

I think this is something you just need every summ

In summer when you want to go out. You'll definitely need this. It's a must. I hate sun hitting my skin and then I get peeling. Sun screen is good and helps not get sunburnt. I think you can also wear it and go swimming which is nice but I'm not sure. I still carry a spray one usually or a little tube. It's also good giving one to everyone in the family so they are protected and they come In little packs. When I go on school trips I take one always because it's just something that doesn't let your skin get damaged from the sun.

Thick but does the job

Although sunscreen is super important especially in Summer when the sun is a bit harsher, I do find it hard to find one that doesn't feel too thick or oily. This sunscreen made me breakout as I have quite oily skin already and I can practically feel this cream clogging up my pores. It does it's job and is good at protecting you from UV rays but it's probably better for people with less oily and breakout-prone skin.

THICK, but does the job well!

Love it comes in a big family size bottle, great price for the amount you get. Only thing i found was it was quite thick and therefore kinda greasy....this made it quite hard to get onto the kids so soon found ourselves using a separate kids sunscreen for them. Does protect my very sunburn prone skin well in saying that!

Tips: Not great on younger kids but good for adults, just make sure you apply well before you go to allow the thick formula to soak in.

Go To!

This is our family go to sunblock! Whenever this is on sale I am there!! I love this sunblock because it is thick and stays on after being in the water, it also doesnt leave my hands feeling greasy! Even though it is thick I find it easy to apply, and the thickness gives me a reassurance of full coverage for me and my kids. Only dissappointment is the price - something Im dissappointed in general about sunblocks, dont understand why such a needed product in NZ is so expensive!!

Classic Sunblock

This sunblock is great. I never get burnt using it and it smells as sunblock should. It is an absolute necessity for the beach.

Kiwi summer

This sunblock has always been a family favourite. It spreads and protects well with full coverage and is long lasting. The smell isn't amazing but it's not as bad as some brands. The pump bottle is great
