Sunscreen

This really didn't protect my skin at all and haven't purchased since. Apparently some sunscreens went through a test and have since been improved. This may now be the case.

Didn't live up to my high expectations at all!

After using the Cancer Society Standard SPF 30+ Sunscreen, I was left feeling disappointed with its performance. The sunscreen did not provide the level of protection that I expected, and I found myself and my children getting sunburned after spending just a few hours in the sun.

The texture of the sunscreen was thicker than I would have preferred, and it took a bit of effort to rub it in and cover all exposed areas of my skin. It also left a slight residue, making my skin feel a bit greasy and sticky.

While the sunscreen claims to be water-resistant, I found that it wore off quickly when I went swimming, leaving me vulnerable to the sun's harmful rays. I also did not appreciate the strong scent, which lingered for a while after application.

Overall, I cannot recommend the Cancer Society Standard SPF 30+ Sunscreen as a reliable and effective sunscreen. While it may work for some, I found that it did not meet my expectations and left me feeling disappointed with its performance.

Tips: Reapply very frequently to avoid getting burnt!

Useless

Used this product expecting it to be good as it's endorsed by the cancer society. I was shocked when even after numerous reapplication during the day myself and the others I was with (incl children) all still got burnt. We even retried it again a few days later and still got the same result. Burnt.

No!

This is a huge disappointment! Thinking this would a great SPF because its Cancer Society, But no I still go burned. I kept reapplying its and following the guide lines but no it just did not help anything. Also it felt very greasy on my skin. Im not sure why this was happening but I would never ever use this again

Burnt and now allergic

The first time I used this I got burnt, I thought maybe it was because I was having a splash around preschool (I'm a teacher) with the hose. But the second time I used it I went nowhere near water and I was still scarlett. I didn't use it for years, and then when I was teaching at a new preschool this was the sunblock they used. I put it on some of the children and came out in itchy spots between my fingers. Many parents brought their own sunblock for their children as they found that this either didn't work, their child had an allergic reaction to it (usually looking like they had been burnt!) or they were sick of the stains. Obviously I won't use it again, but I wont let my children either!!

I got sunburnt using this!!

I used this sunblock last summer and got sunburnt! And for the record, it wasn't because of lack of reapplication! One day at the beach, I had a different brand of sunblock and applied that to everywhere except my back, then had someone else put some sunblock on my back. They used this Cancer Society sunblock and off we went. Then in the evening, my back was sore and bright red - the rest of my body was absolutely fine, no sunburn in sight! I was super disappointed as I thought the results would've been the other way around if I was going to get sunburnt! Would not ever use this again!

Tips: If you're going to use it, reapply every half hour if you don't want to get burnt!!

Not great sunprotection

Didn't like this as got burnt using it. I have fairer skin and burned too easy so will not use this product again. Don't trust it on my children's skin either as don't want them burnt like I was.

Worst sunblock

Considering this is from the cancer society whenever I use it I always get burnt super quick! I'll use it if it's the only one there but I end up having re reapply so so often.

Tips: Reapply every hour instead of every few hours. Doesn't last long.
