Cancer Society Standard SPF 30+ Sunscreen

I give it a 5 for doing what it should, it protects from the sun and your safe from getting a sun burn but it's a really gross product I find.

It's really thick and smells incredibly strong. I feel like they've tried to give this a nice fragrance, but failed because mixed with the screen lotion its horrible.

It also is super greasy, and doesn't absorb into the skin easy either. I find I have to rub this is for a long while and sit in the sun for the sun to actually dry off a bit of that grease. Not something that you want to be doing.

And I don't recommend it for the face if you have oily skin. Whenever I used this on my skin, I would break out all over left and right.

I can say that the tiniest amount of product will do the biggest of jobs, although thats not quite how sunscreen works. It also comes in a huge bottle and can last you forever. It also doesn't leave your skin looking white and ghostly.

It was because of this sunscreen that I hated using sunscreen until I found a better brand.

This is a great product, and a definate staple in my summer bag. It does a great job of protecting my childrens skin, and lasts for a good few hours when applied. It has a nice fragrance, and the texture is quite thick, but it spreads evenly over the skin, offering good coverage. One bottle has lasted our family of 4 for quite some time, so fairly well priced.

I have used this sunscreen with my family and in the childcare center I used to work in. It provides fantastic coverage and lasts about 4 hours before you need to reapply.

It's nicely scented, and the push dispensing nozzle its SO handy when you have a child trying to run away.

A bottle lasts quite a while, probably lasts our family the entire summer (we apply it often!) It's also widely available so easy to pick up anywhere!

I also have sensitive skin and this hasn't irritated my skin at all!

I used this sunblock last summer and got sunburnt! And for the record, it wasn't because of lack of reapplication! One day at the beach, I had a different brand of sunblock and applied that to everywhere except my back, then had someone else put some sunblock on my back. They used this Cancer Society sunblock and off we went. Then in the evening, my back was sore and bright red - the rest of my body was absolutely fine, no sunburn in sight! I was super disappointed as I thought the results would've been the other way around if I was going to get sunburnt! Would not ever use this again!

The Cancer Society sunscreen is a good, standard sunscreen that does its job very well. It gives good sun protection and stays on well. What I don't like so much about it is that it feels a bit greasy and also leaves my skin feeling sticky for a while after applying it. I prefer sunscreens that get fully absorbed into the skin, and I think there are definitely better ones out there than this one. I wish I liked this sunscreen better as I like the fact that it raises funds for the Cancer Society.

I would say that the Cancer Society Sunscreen is one of the best for protecting the skin from UV rays. As someone with pale skin, protecting my skin is really important and I find that this sunscreen is reliable for protecting my skin. I find that this sunscreen can last all day but on particularly hot/sunny days, to apply 2-3 times is more effective.

The one thing that I'm not as fussed on is that it is quite a greasy sunscreen.

I burn very easily and I have a father with the same complexion who suffers from skin cancers. I am very careful about my sun care. I love the cancer society suncreams, and this one is one of the best. It is a strong, long lasting cream though it does make you feel like you have gone swimming in goop as it doesn't absorb well. Great for the whole family and stops burning

I purchased a 375 ml pump bottle of this when I realised that not one of the ten 11 & 12 year old girls I had away for netball tournament had brought sunblock with them. Growing up in a sunny place with pale skin and family members with a history of skin cancer has made me extremely sun conscious and so I bought this and insisted every child apply it in the morning, and did so myself, as did my co-coach. I then continued to use it for much of the summer. In this group we had dark skinned, brown skinned and very fair skinned girls, and the entire week we didn't have a single sunburn issue. Over the rest of the time I have been using it I can report similar results.

This sunscreen comes in a variety of sizes, all with the Cancer Society logo, featuring a bright yellow daffodil on a blue bottle. The bottle explains clearly what type of sunscreen this is.

The pump dispenses easily, and the thick white cream that comes out is easy to apply. It leaves a teeny bit of residue on the skin until it absorbs (makes it easy to see when the kids have applied it!) and it spreads well. It has a slightly greasy feel at first but once absorbed that disappears. Once absorbed it's water resistant - but I'd still advise to reapply after swimming just in case, as our sun is harsh.

The scent is a typical sunscreen scent, which I don't mind as it evokes summers at the beach for me.

Funds raised from this product go to support the Cancer Society of NZ, who do amazing work and need all the help they can get.

I personally prefer spray on sunblock but am happy to use this bottle up and would purchase again, especially when I am protecting children from the kiwi sun.

Sunscreen is so important to have and is a absolutely essential item in my house. I found that this sunscreen was easy to apply and goes on quite nicely. It didn't leave me feeling like I was wearing sunblock and it didn't make me feel sticky which a lot of sunblocks do. I would buy this sunscreen again hands down.

Iv brought this product and used it on both myself and my children. I liked how it was really easy to apply (even in a rush while my kids are trying to get away) and once applied it doesn't leave that yucky feeling on your skin like you have a extra layer on. I'd defiantly buy it again.
