Average

I like this brand as the formula is a nice consistency that rubs in well and it doesn't smell overly bad.. however I do have to reapply every 20minutes or so in order to not get burnt (I get burnt easily), which is rather annoying. I think spf 30's just don't do it for me.

Everyday Sunscreen

This is a good everyday sunscreen, protected my skin from getting burnt, however it feels quite thick and greasy on my skin but most sunscreens do that. It is a pretty average sunscreen, it does the job but nothing extra ordinary!

Solid effort but not my favourite

I found this quite hard to spread and absorb. Have tried many sunscreens but this wasn't the one for me. Can't comment on how well it works per se, but the brand should be a trusted one!

works well, but a bit greasy

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.

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.

Sunscreen

Due to the connotation of the name I definitely feel protected when wearing this sunscreen, however it's definitely not my favourite. I find it comes out quite thick & is hard to rub in so I don't like the feel of it on my skin. So I would say it's not light to wear but it does the job in protecting your skin.

Sunscreen

Growing up, this was the go to sunscreen and I used it until I was an adult. The Cancer Society sunscreen came in all different sizes making it convenient and they were also very affordable.

As per any sunscreen, I apply is already 30 minutes before heading outside. Applying it to the face and body. The problem with applying it to my face was that it made my only skin even more oil, but it wasn't moisturising for my body at all. It did the job though for that time.

I know prefer other sunscreens to this, but this will remain a classic sunscreen.

Tips: Apply it at least 30 minute before heading outside and reapply when necessary.

Great for Value Cancer Society Sunscreen

This is a reliable standard sunscreen. It is well priced and good for families, with the standard SPF30. It does need to be reapplied often, and is not very water resistant so needs application after each swim.

Tips: Be careful not to get on clothes or sensitive skin as I believe it may have some bleach in it as it bleached spots on my son's hat after some dripped on there.

Kiwi Summer Icon!

This is an iconic kiwi brand.. It has been around for a long time!

It offers good protection for the Family which is so important with our rays here in NZ..

However..

It claims to be light wearing and its not.. Its another one of those thick greasy products that leaves a film.. And with that being said stains clothes and can make the skin break out.

Although its not the worst out there, and I would definitely choose this over others if the choices weren't very broad to pick from.. This is not my first choice and I prefer lighter to wear formulas that wont ruin my clothes or make my skin freak out!

Not great for sensitive skin

Perfectly adequate sunscreen for body application. It's a bit on the thick side but at least you feel like it's got good coverage. However I found if I reapplied it on my face regularly over a couple of days that my face felt really raw and looked really red and angry - not my go to summer look. Probably find if you dont have sensitive skin though.
