Decent discount on cancer council sunscreen products at Coles. I've been using the Facial Moisturiser sunscreen for number of years now as part of my routine and seems to do a great job.

What a wild statement to fault them for skin cancer because they’ve upped the prices of their product (which is still reasonable for the volume, quality, research and efficacy) as if they’re responsible for what people do.
He's not blaming the company. He's just saying the expense of sunscreen does discourage people from using it which is true. Make improving your comprehension skills your New Year's resolution.
He’s saying it leads to skin cancer, as if this is the only company that makes sunscreen. So yes, he is blaming them…. that’s literally what he’s saying.

Didn't they sell that defective banana boat spray on?
Banana boat is a different brand
this sunscreen is supposed to be used just on the face, and as such this small tube actually lasts quite a while. it's also much more comfortable than your regular body sunscreen and accommodating to sensitive faces. it's much less oily than other body sunscreens you might be used to, and it plays well with makeup if you use it. it working as a bit of a moisturiser is the cherry on top.
using a sunscreen like this for your mug, ears, and neck + the 1l woolies everyday pump is a great affordable combo.
It’s $12 for 1L of generic SPF50+, regular price. Face sunscreens are more comfortable, but cost 10-20x more than regular sunscreen.
This is fantastic. Buy all the bottles you can.
Still my holy grail.

Always wondered what the difference is between the homebrand sunscreen and this pricer stuff. Turns out it's basically just how it feels to apply it
Plenty of people who would pay more for a formula that suits their skin type and preference ie. not oily, no white cast, works well with makeup etc.
I use just wonder sunscreen on my face and the ladies at work laugh at me for being shiny, will this one have a matte finish?
Elite level face sunscreen. One bottle at home, one in the car, one at work. Best.
Chemist Warehouse has it for $16.69. Difference being $6.19. 10% of that is 61.9c.
=> Chemist Warehouse will pricebeat Coles at the register for $9.88
Does anyone know how effective the roll-on ones are?
Do I want the Daily Moisturizer or the Face Day Wear Moisturizer?
Who knew we had so many choices …is this the best sunscreen for ppl working outdoors?
the best face sunscreen for you is the one that satisfies the following:
- its spf50+
- its not banana boat
- its water resistant, if that's important to you (probably includes you if you'll be working up a sweat)
- doesn't irritate your face; if anything, it improves your skin
this ticks the first three boxes, but the last one depends person to person. cancer council sunscreens are pretty popular and generally really good so the one suggested by op is probably a safe bet.
why do you say "its not banana boat"?

@SnowDragon: Just read the article. It’s pretty fluffy typical media stuff but there’s no meat on the bone. As in no actual evidence there was any issue with the sunscreen, and at the end they quoted some expert who said it’s common for spray on sunscreen to not be used correctly. So at this stage I’m not convinced. He said vs she said and it’s easy to believe the mum the company.
@Corgsta: I don't really care that much I just remember it being a big thing a few years ago when people claimed they got burned. See @lachlantula's comment for example.
Plenty of other articles - not sure if just parroting the same thing though.
There's a water resistant version of this that usually follows same sale cycle. Similar light blue tube.
FYI - if you have private health insurance extras with ahm, you can get a 100% rebate on cancer council UV products. Not sure if other PHI companies offer this as well.
YES ive been waiting all year for this! BTW big w also has the same
Many of these cause cancer
So does the sun
Citation needed.
As someone who has had a melanoma removed I would take my risks with sunscreen.
How does this compare to Nivea sun light feel spf 30+?
Equivalent, superior or inferior?I found the Nivea sun light feel to be ‘light feeling without the grease’ - however it’s become difficult to source lately from colesworth.

Look up the ingredients of sunscreen. You’ll be shocked. Use organic sunscreen or nothing at all.
Hate how expensive this stuff has become too, $20+ regular price for a tiny tube. It discourages people to use it more and leads to more skin cancer.
