This works well but apart from being a reputable brand and the non greasy feeling aloe vera gel is just as good yes it is soothing and calms the hot sore skin but a little does not really go a long way so I think for the price and amount you get just aloe gel is a better alternative. A handy container easy squeeze and cool blue colour having it sit on the lid makes is handy for instant use and getting the last of the product yes I would use again but it is branded and so your paying for that. A good cause though.

Reviews
I have never used this for sunburn as my skin tans rather than burns. However, this has been great after waxing when your skin feels a little raw- providing cooling relief and reducing stinging.
I purchased this because no matter what sunscreen my son and partner have on they get burned . I needed something soothing for them both.
Packaging comes in a tube labelling is easy to read . Consistency is like a gel has no scent at all. I like to apply this to my sons back and behind his ears . Soothes his burns straight away .
Overall price wise it’s fair. One bottle last me about six months . Does the job well .
I used to use this every day I got sunburnt but recently I was noticing how much I broke out when I used this. I switched to using the inkey list oat cleansing balm as a after sun treatment on my face and it worked miracles, my sunburns heal so much faster now. I still use the aloe gel on my body sunburns and it works great for them
Tips: Dont use on face
I had a mild sunburn on my back which I applied this gel to after my girlfriend gave me a tube. The experience was that of being stuck with thousands of needles or bitten by a swarm of fire ants. The cooling effect lasted a couple seconds before the agonising itching and stinging began and even after I washed it all off, my skin broke out in a blotchy white rash and continued to hurt for at least an hour.
Tips: Don't buy Cancer Society products - they excel only in doing the opposite of what they are advertised for.
This is really great for sunburn and for when it's super hot outside to be able to cool down. Works great and doesn't feel too sticky after it's dried. Only thing is the cooling effect doesn't last too long, but overall great.
Tips: Leave in the fridge before use for a better cooling effect!
