Cancer Council Day Wear Face Sunscreen SPF 50+
Verified4 reviews
Burnt my face even i never been outdoor in sun – I bought Cancer Council Face Daywear spf 50 on 1st Jan 2023 from coles. Applied on my forearm for patch test and no reaction comes so next day I applied on my face in morning and by evening my face was swelled like a dough and it burnt my skin all way. It is important to mention I never been under sun exposure throughout the day. My skin is burning and giving me hot flashes like hell. If i would be elegiac patch test definitely gonna tell but it reacts differently on my face. Booked an appointment with my Doc. Trust me i have crystal skin with only one day use has turned into open pores, blemishes, rash and swelling.

Thank you Cancer Council – I've tried many sunscreens and settled many years ago using a Dermlogica sport sunscreen. It was discontinued and I was not willing to spend triple the price on another sunscreen in their range. I saw a couple of reviews of this product online and at $10 for 150ml at Coles (half price), I thought what have I got to lose! Please give this a try. It is lightweight, non greasy, no white cast, very little to no fragrance and is often on sale 40% or half off. It is comparable, or in a lot of cases better than all the other expensive or trending brands I have tried. They have a water resistant and non water resistant version and I've got both. I use non water resistant most days, unless I am swimming, as it is formulated with less active chemical ingredients. Having a chemistry background I know that what sells expensive sunscreens is marketing and brand, not at all effectiveness of product.

Best light moisturiser + sunscreen! – I've spent a very long time looking for a high SPF sunscreen from a reliable brand which is totally non greasy, does not leave a white zinc residue on the skin and is reasonably priced. This brand new product from Cancer Council is the best I've used. Despite being in my mid 50's I still have oily skin and cannot use any skin care product which is greasy. I am fair skinned and need proper sun protection in summer without the oil. I usually use their Dry Touch sunscreens which are excellent but still a little on the oily side for my skin. However, I've used this new moisturiser/suncreen today for the first time and it's perfect!! Purchased from Woolies at less than $10 whilst on special, it's fragrance free, there is a water resistant variety and two tinted types as well. This is the one I will stick with from now on as I can't fault it, especially with my oily skin. It is light and absorbs so quickly with no shine on the skin. Well done Cancer Council, fantastic product to say the least.
