Cooling, calming and rehydrating. Even well protected from harmful UV radiation, the skin still requires nourishment and rehydration after long periods of exposure to the elements. After sun moisturising gel with Aloe Vera will help bring back the skin’s moisture balance after exposure to the elements. The gel absorbs quickly, leaving your skin cool and re-nourished – no greasy feeling.

Cooling sensation

I love this product!! It soothes the skin after a day in the sun and the days after as well. It does take a little while to dry but once it’s does it still soothes. It’s not sticky or messy and doesn’t smell either

Works well and raises funds for a great cause

I know that you should not let sun exposure get to the point when you have had too much and you need to use an after sun product with aloe vera to help heal the burn. However, it’s easy to miss a patch of skin when you apply sunscreen, or to forget how long you have been in the sun. And when that happens it is great to have a well working product that you can rely on. The Cancer Society After Sun gel works really well to calm the skin when you have overdone it a bit in the sun. I generally prefer after sun gels with aloe vera to other after sun products as aloe vera helps with burns. It does not just make your skin temporarily feel better, it actually helps with skin repair after a burn. The gel has a really nice consistency and is not sticky like some other products with aloe vera. I also think the price is really fair, especially given that funds raised will go to the Cancer Society, and that this product is made in New Zealand. I usually try to buy NZ made products when possible, and this is definitely one that I will buy again.

Only aftercare I trust

This is so refreshing - you must try this: place in fridge and keep for every incase time you may need.

I love the smell and texture is good. Not overly sticky compared to cheaper ones

Love this cooling gel!

I absolutely love this product! I always make sure I have some on hand and take it with me along with my sunscreens if am going away, even just for a day trip, as part of my first aid kit. It is just marvellous. Really helps calm down and rehydrate skin that has been slightly over exposed to the sun, and can greatly reduce the possibility of worse damage overnight and lessen peeling in my experience. I apply a lot, just keep coating it on. It just marvellous.

Tips: Apply it over and over, as much as you want to, then more the better I find. Once you have applied coat after coat a few times, it can become a bit sticky. So I tend to gently rinse the area with cold water and soft cloth and then immediately reapply more of the gel while skin in still moist and therefore more absorbent. Repeat process as necessary.

This review was so helpful! All your tips were super useful - I was worried it wouldn't work because I've tried so many products that just haven't done the trick... thanks!!

Cancer Society After Sun Gel review

This product is an absolute life saver!! After getting a really bad sunburn over summer it helped to cool and sooth the burn as well helped to heal the burn. The aloe Vera in it helps a lot as well as the other vitamins in the product

Great Reputation

It’s always nice buying a product that does what it claims. This is no exception. Helps a lot after you spend too much time swimming and forgetting to reapply the SPF! Instant relief, for various degrees of sunburns and is something everyone should have in the cupboard , especially if you have kids.

Tips: Keep it in the fridge for added coolness!!

The best after sun gel!

A summer essential that is always packed in my bag alongside my sunscreen. If you want it to be extra cold keep it in the fridge. I also use this to calm down other skin irritations as aloe vera is great for lots if things - not just sunburn.

Tips: Put some on as soon as you get out of the sun to keep your skin well moisturized - don't wait until you look burnt to start applying.

Cooling and refreshing

This is a welcome relief after you have that terrible feeling that you have burnt yourself in the sun! I have very fair skin so even when i am quite careful I can have the odd time that I get burnt. This feels so moisturising and cool on the skin. The cooling I find really important since the skin is still burning for some time. It is nice and thick so stays on the skin for a while, which I think is why it works so well. The only down side is that it is quite sticky and preferably it's probably best to not wear any clothes to get the full benefits. Also a little bit sticky and yuck if you do put clothes on.

Tips: Keep it in the fridge for extra cooling!

Soothes the burn!

I am really pale so am usually very careful in the sun. Unfortunately every summer I get burnt at least once. I had been out and about in the sun and didn't realise how burnt I was until I got home.

It was quite painful so I popped down to the shop and saw this so decided to try it. It has a faint fresh scent and a thick gel consistency.  It said to store in the fridge which I did, this made it feel so cooling when I applied.

It goes on smoothly and definitely soothes the sunburn, it takes away that horrible tight feeling. The best thing I loved about this was it stopped me peeling! The one thing I didn't like was that it left my skin feeling sticky which is a pet hate of mine. Overall it is great for sunburn and I will always have it in the fridge.

After sun gel

This product is a must have in my house especially in the summertime. I keep it in the fridge so if I spend too much time in the sun or get a little burnt it is nice and cooling on my skin.

Tips: Keep it in the fridge for extra relief from sunburn
