I am terrible when it comes to applying sunscreen, this product has been a lifesaver more than once! I love that it moisturizes as well as cools skin to prevent that horrible peeling. It has a pleasant smell and although its a wee bit sticky when applied it dries reasonably quickly. The bottle lasts for ages since I don't need to use it very often and you only need a little bit at a time. Will definitely purchase again.

I'm super prone to sunburn as I'm outside a lot and I'm pretty lazy when it comes to sunblock. But this is such a life saver, it's super cooling and it has stopped me peeling countless times. It's great for the price and a necessity for summer. I'm not too fond of the smell but it doesn't linger too long on me
I have purchased this over the past few summers for those times when I have needed to soothe parts of my body that my sunscreen has missed. Really soothing and soaks right into my skin. There is a good reason why I buy some each summer! I just wish their sunscreen was as good.
Tips: Keep in the fridge for extra cool soothing!
I know getting sun burned is a massive no-no but let’s face it, we’ve all been there at some stage. I keep a bottle of this in our caravan, and one in the inside fridge. It’s absolutely perfect to help cool down burnt skin for instant relief and if you apply it thick enough, it adds a protective barrier to keep that moisture in. This one has a great price point so is easy enough to keep on hand. It also works great to soothe irritated skin from mossie bites, blackberry scratches or hives.
Tips: Store in the fridge, and use on any skin irritation (not just sunburn)
This is a fantastic product for the first aid kit! I used it over summer a few times and it did exactly what it said it should. However once applied it did leave a bit of a sticky residue, not for long but it was rather annoying.
After a Banana Boat scandal that left me burnt and sore, I was sent this as a "sorry our sunblock failed". It's been in the fridge ever since and it's a blimmen delight during the hot months, let me tell ya.
I love the lid, and the fact it just pops up. The gel inside squeezes out so easily, I don't think I'll have to ever turn this puppy upside down. I also love the eye catching green, it's awesome!
The smell of the aloe gel isn't overly potent, it's quite calming and nice actually. Putting this on my sun reddened skin my whole body feels instantly cooled. I don't find it sticky at all, which is also another bonus because I HATE sticky aloe gels. They drive me bonkers!
It's definitely very soothing, and it sinks into the skin or evaporates quickly, which makes me think that's why it's not so sticky. I'd definitely repurchase.
i used this in the summer because i got sunburnt shoulders and it was so nice because it cooled my burn and the next day it was way less visible and my skin didnt didnt peel at all
I burn ridiculously easily in the sun, so aloe vera gel has been my loyal summer companion for many years. I've just about tried them all! This one I used for about half a summer then absolutely couldn't stand the smell and went back to my usualy cancer society one.
It does a good job soothing my itchy and sore skin, and feels hydrating when I apply it. It doesn't seem too alcoholic but still evaporates/absorbs relatively quickly. I find a tiny tiny drop is enough for my entire face as it spreads easily. It's also good for the whole body as a gel moisturiser when you feel like cream lotions are too heavy. When I was trying to use it up I would apply it to my whole body after showering, and it felt very cooling yet keeping my skin hydrated.
The smell is the one thing keeping me from repurchasing. I don't mind an unscented product or one that smells a little strange/herb like, because at least that means they didn't add any artificial fragrance. But this smelled super unpleasant, like hot rubber or something. Even though it's been ages since I used it, I can still rememver vividly the repulsive smell that I had to bear every time I put this on my face. Absolutely couldn't stand the smell, but maybe if you're using it on your legs or arms it wouldn't be as strong.
I've found this to be the best 'cooling' after sun gel. Others don't seem to have the same cooling effect, but this instantly takes that horrible hot burnt skin feel away.
Very hydrating - and is one of the less sticky after sun treatments that I've used.
Really great product, and is great on sensitive skin in our family.
I found this calmed my sunburn for a little while, but not for very long. It can be very cooling, but this time of short cooling is not worthy it for me, as I found it very sticky afterwards. I feel sticky and greasy after using it, and desperately need to wash my hands. I have found other after sun gels that are much more effective.
