cancer council sunburn – a year now I dont like anything me face I tried it and its slimy and u sweat becomes worse and my arms seem to itch lately if sweat not good go the eyes I have still a bit to go but I dont recommend this I look for the 99% uv again I find it this does not stop sunburn read reviews

shocking!!! – i brought this specific brand as i myself suffer from cancer; and as a result need extra sun protection from skin sun sensitivity caused by my chemo. i applied thick layers to myself and my son; follow the instructions and tonight both of us have the worst sunburn i have every experienced in my life! absolutely do not buy this product if you don’t want blisters! Show details

Rash from Cancer Council Everyday Sunscreen – Our 5 year old son developed a rash after using this sunscreen, disappointing after spending so much. Show details

Doesn’t protect from the sun – I got burned after using this. I had a different product on my face and there is no sign of sunburn, but everywhere else I used this product I’m RED and painfully burned. I reapplied often, at the same time I reapplied sunscreen on my face. It’s great to apply, but it doesn’t do it’s job Show details

Great for my sensitive skin – I have dry and sensitive skin with rosacea. I used to buy various sunscreens that left my face rough and dry. This is the only cream that suits my skin type. It was recommended by a pharmacist. I must mention that I don't sunbathe because of my rosacea, but I am exposed to the sun with my daily duties. After applying this sunscreen my redness… Read more

subsides. I also started using it as a day cream. It works for me, I am very happy that I finally found a cream for my dry irritated skin with rosacea. I've been using it for ten days, I hope everything will be ok in the future.

Everyone covered in a rash – Wish I had read the reviews before I bought this. Myself, husband and 2 children are covered in a horrific rash after using this product. Complete waste of money and now everyone is sore and itchy Show details

Absolute crap. Avoid the sunscreens from this brand at all costs – Even after using this sunscreen every 2-4 hours as per the instructions, my face is completely sunburnt, especially my forehead. I've got white flakes all around my cheeks and eyebrows. It's very itchy, dry, and red. For god sake, please look past this product. It is easy to apply but it doesn't matter as it's not gonna do its one and only job of blocking the sun. Show details

Better off getting sunburnt! – I could write 3 pages on our experience, but I won’t. The short version is: My children suffered a major allergic reaction and burns from this. Swollen faces and split skin as a result. Initially when their eyes were puffy and the skin underneath was red raw and had dry patches, I figured it was sunburn. So what did I do? Made then reapply more… Read more

often. What was the end result of this after a 3 day staycation? They are now on steroids and antihistamines as a result of a severe allergic reaction.

I myself have burns, blister looking skin and dry patches ( not peeling) in the areas I reapplied this to the most. No sunburn or red skin in a single other area of my body. It’s almost like it attracted the sun to those areas.

After posting this on Facebook it has come to my attention this brand is well known for these exact issues. Particularly their Peppa Pig version.

Do not but this product. It’s rubbish – I bought the cancer council sensitive product thinking it would be a good option but like many others it would seem I ended up with a red, extremely itchy rash which was only on the parts of my body I applied it too. Clearly there is an issue with this product given others are having the same experience, one would think cancer council would do… Read more

somethng about it but either way I won’t ever be buying one of their products again, just not worth the side effects.

Terrible – My husband used this all over his neck and face, now his neck is burnt so badly from this product, we are using paw paw to try and help the burning, would never buy again, must be something very toxic in it . Show details

Should have read some reviews before I bought this: RASH!! – Bought this before I'd googled other people's opinions on it and GOD, do I regret that. I introduced this sunscreen into my established skin care routine and within an hour, my skin was red raw and very noticeably warm. I cleansed it off my skin as soon as I realised a reaction was occurring but my skin was still red and hot for around 3 days… Read more

afterwards. It even caused my lips to rash up completely, so bad that it took them around a week, with both paw paw cream and coconut oil interchangeably, to heal. DO NOT BUY OR USE THIS PRODUCT.

The ingredients stated seems not in full details – This is a chemical sunscreen which I didn't realise & bought it wrongly I prefer physical sunscreen as these ingredients seems to make skin more pigmentation . There is no fragrance stated on the ingredients list but it smell heavily scented. Texture is also very sticky. Show details

Causes skin rash! – I wish I had read the other reviews on this product. I purchased this sunscreen thinking that it was put out by a leader in the field. I applied it liberally to my 3 grandchildren at the beach and that night their faces started to become red and blotchy. By the next day they all had a itchy red angry rash on their faces. Had to give antihistamine to help them cope with the uncomfortable rash. Show details

Will never use their products again – Having viewed this site am concerned with the comments contained, & would like to share my experience in using this product. Having always been an avid outdoor person, I have never encountered anything like this previously. I do not burn, nor have sensitive skin, nor had any reaction to sunscreen. 16mths. ago, I used this product for the 1st.… Read more

time & am thoroughly disgusted.

My arms &, back where this was applied, developed a severe unsightly rash & was itchy. This unsightly mess has drawn many from others.

Prognosis is not good, & it will be a lengthy recovery.

How are these products regulated & monitored by the relevant authorities?

This product deserves a MINUS 5 rating.

The specialist stated there have been several complaints about Cancer Council sunscreen.

How can this really be approved from Cancer Council – Be warned if you have fair skin, want to swim or exercise as this products melts of and once in water comes of with ease. I have never been so burnt only when using these products and will never use again. Cancer council you should be ashamed of this.

kids roll on 50+ cancer council for sensitive skin – I took this suncream to Bali.My daughter applied it. That night she was covered in a red rash that was so ichy I had to give her antihistamine and apply ice.

Never buy this product – I have excema and sensitive skin. I used this product and may have well have used water. I did absolutely nothing, I was really very sunburnt. Was on holidays, used it again recently at the beach and same thing. So very sunburn. Do not use this sunscreen. You think you are buying a good product with the Cancer Council name. I don't know how it can be listed as sunscreen.

DO NOT BUY – Brought the 30+ because of the Cancer Council logo and used liberally while at the beach for just over an hour. My partner and I are both extremely sunburnt. Neither of us has ever been burnt like this before. Very disappointed and concerned about skin cancer risk given the state of our skin!

Beware of rashes – I applied this sunscreen once in the morning before going out for a run and then reapplied later in the day before a swim at the beach. I started to feel itchy early in the evening and by 7pm I had a full blown rash all over my arms and neck. I do have sensitive skin and react with some products - but have never reacted to sunscreen.

sunburn – Became very sunburnt after applying according to instructions. Tried applying more often, same result. This was very disappointing.

Extremely sunburnt. Do not recommend – I used this product while walking outside for approximately 2.5hrs. I also reapplied 3 times, as I was sweating. I however was still very sunburnt. Reviews for the 'Ultra' version of the cancer council sunscreen seem to be poor, but the 'everyday' are good, but my experience of this has unfortunately more in line with the former. A bad batch perhaps?

Finally! – I've found a sunscreen can use on my face! Most sunscreens make my eyes water and I have tried everything from basic to high end fancy cosmetic sunscreens. Now I use the Everyday cream (in a tube) on my face over moisturiser - I found the thinner Everyday formula (in the larger spray bottle) unfortunately irritates my eyes. So I now just use… Read more

the tube version on face and neck, and the spray everywhere else as needed. Tube smells more like sunscreen than the spray. Both have nice consistency and work well under makeup or alone! In fact I love the spray for the sheen it gives my arms and legs, even better than the best moisturiser. It's great to use these two daily and avoid any more of the sun damage that so many of us have!

excellent product – this product is amazing it glides on my skin with ease i love it and it doesnt break me out which is amazing. i have used many sunscreens from clinique to dermalogica to bobbi brown i have even tired some like neutrogena i have used all the cheaper ones and alot of the higher end sunscreens and this is very comparable to the higher end ones but… Read more

way better then the cheaper ones great for an everyday sunscreen :) its very cheap and you get heaps of product last for ages. the packaging isnt the best for my liking.

Good – This stuff is also very good. I like how it is endorsed by the cancer council. Feels like it will offer better protection. There are so many types of sunscreen out there that you are not sure which ones are effective sometimes. It is not cheap, however, you can buy it in a huge bottle and it will last a very long time. Our family had our first 1L… Read more

bottle for a few years before we threw it out. Part of proceeds go to a good cause, smells ok and applies well. Not very cheap but it is still very affordable

Excellent – A good product that comes in a wide variety of ranges, from spray bottles to roll on version. Easy to apply and feels quite think. Good quality. Expensive though. A good range of sunscreen products and it is great that the product is made by a very trusted brand, the Cancer Council. I like the roll on version of the sunscreen as it is very easy to… Read more

apply and great for getting on younger children. You can also buy a one litre pump bottle which will last for quite a while. This sunscreen can be a bit expensive compared with other products on the market.

Good – I like the fact that these are made by the Cancer Council as it gives you more peace of mind that the product will do what it says it will. The sunscreen comes in a large variety of sizes and is great for everyday use. The sunscreens are quite expensive but most sunscreens are quite pricey these days. The tubes will last a while though if you buy… Read more

them in bigger sizes which I think are more affordable. Made by a trusted brand and come in a large variety of sizes and types. Great for everday use. Tend to be a bit expensive.

Excellent – Good quality sunscreen with clear instructions about how much should be applied, when to apply (15 minutes before exposure) and when to reapply (every 2 hours or when wiped off) Trustworthy brand, average price, sales help fund cancer research, patient support and education, seems to be effective in preventing sun burn As with all sunscreens, quite expensive in the smaller containers

Good – I did not purchase this sunscreen as someone else brought it into the house. I have no problems recommending it though as a very convenient sunscreen that is not greasy. I would recommend only using it at times when there is a low UV rating or if you are going out for a short period into the sun and want something that isn't messy. As the… Read more

sunscreen doesn't have anything to reflect UV rays I would suggest that you get a higher protection sunscreen for prolonged periods of use. A good sunscreen that is absorbed very easily and is not greasy. It only contains UV absorbing materials and no reflectors.
