Cancer Society SPF 50+ Ultra Cool Beach Sun Spray

Having a spray sunscreen is great due to it being convenient and easy to apply. Although it dries relatively quick it does feel a little sticky on your skin.

As a dark skinned person I do like that it does not leave a weird residue on your skin, guess its because its a spray. I would say it somewhat protected my skin as I did not burn.

I am an extremely white person and find that many sunscreens dont work for me. This stuff on the other hand works AMAZING. I haven't been burnt with this stuff on. I will never go back to non-prayed sunscreen. This version has the added bonus of cooling the skin.

I love the idea of spray sunblock, easy to use and not as greasy but it's not as great as I thought.

I found this product to be very greasy, as many sunblocks are, but this one said it was non-greasy so I was a bit disappointed in that area.

If found it coated my skin pretty well and did a good job of stopping me from getting sunburnt but I felt like I had to keep reapplying because I didn't feel protected (even though I probably was).

I also found that after a while the spray nozzle started spitting sunblock instead of spraying it, meaning it wouldn't cover my skin properly and would leave it patchy meaning I'd have to run in extra sun cream.

I bought this for two reasons. One because it is far easier to use on a kid that can't sit still for five minutes to put lotion on. Two because it sais non-greasy! I am all about non-greasy so I decided to chuck it in my trolley.

Skipping ahead one summer season; I found it to be quite different to what I expected! Disappointed to say the least. The spray bottle is very inline with all Cancer Society suncare products, It has the very familiar daffodil right at the top in plain site. The colour is a metallic looking blue, especially on the metal can. It's very pleasing to the eye. I always have to go for something that is SPF50 at least. I do prefer more but 50 is the minimum now.

It promised extra cooling and it definitely delivers. On a scorching summers day it is very refreshing to have nice cooling spray on sunscreen to help take away some of that heat. When spraying it on, it coats easily and in a wide area without having to respray too many missed areas. It says non-greasy, BUT, it was very greasy when rubbing it in. My skin and my sons skin was very oily looking after applying. I waited a few minutes, thinking that perhaps it just needs to absorb in to my skin. Fast forward half an hour and I am still oily looking....GROSS!!

I apply every two hours especially when in the water to be safe. I ended up having to put it on every hour and a half because I noticed my skin burning after being in the water. I guess this has a lot to do with not being water resistant.

On a plus side, my son thinks spraying it on himself is great fun. Far be it from me to stop him from wanting to be sun safe so I let him. It is a very good way to get your kids in to being sun smart but for me I would rather a lotion so I don't get the greasy residue afterwards. I would buy it again, but only for my son.

I use sunscreen on a daily basis, so was excited to receive this for review. It's SPF50, which seemed promising, and claimed to be quick drying and non-greasy. I hate the greasy feeling of sunscreens so I only ever use dry touch non-greasy ones.

However, I was not a fan of this. The spray mechanism was very awkward and meant it was difficult to control how much product I put on my arms and legs. I also did not dare spray it anywhere near my face, so I had to use a different non-spray sunscreen for that. While you can indeed continuously spray in any direction, I found the spraying format quite inconvenient for spraying on myself on the backs of legs and anywhere not in my line of sight.

Once sprayed on, it very quickly absorbed into my skin with only a few dabs of white remaining. As such, I had to very quickly stop spraying and spread it over my arms, otherwise it just absorbed in to that one spot and I needed more product. This is also why I couldn't spray on my hands and then apply on my face; it just absorbed so quickly that it clearly was not going to work that way.

The sunscreen was also still a little greasy to the touch and made my hands feel sticky, even when absorbed into the skin, so it did not deliver on that front at all. Otherwise, the sunscreen did its job to protect me from the sun for about 3 hours, and even though I have very sensitive skin it was fine with this sunscreen. It just wasn't a comfortable sensation when I had the sunscreen on, and also rubbed off a bit on my light coloured shirt. When I washed my hands, it felt like my hands were greasy.

The spray also claimed to be cooling but truthfully there was no difference compared with other sunscreens.

The sunscreen also smelled like waxy menthol yet powdery, and not pleasant at all. It's strange because Cancer Society sunscreens usually smell fine to me, so I think it might just be a peculiarity of this spray can version.

Overall, I would probably recommend sticking with a sunscreen that's in a tube, and if you're wanting non-greasy then this formula is not for you.

This sunscreen does what it says it does, it protects you from the sun. I had this on for about 4-5 hours while I was out in the sun and didn't get burnt so it works!

The packaging, I like the spray bottle I think it is easy to apply all over your body including your back because you can reach all of the areas and its a lot faster than needing to squeeze it out and rub it in everywhere. I did feel like the spray was a bit inconsistent and sometimes I needed to shake it or it dripped down the side.

Cooling - this sunscreen says that its cooling, yes I would say it is cooling, not by a huge amount but it has a noticeable cooling feeling.

I would say that although this says it is non greasy it was still a little bit greasy for the first 10 minutes or so once I put it on but after it sunk into my skin it was fine after that!

Overall I think this is a good product, I would buy it again purely on the fact it is fast and easy to apply and I didn't get sunburnt!

I'm preeeeettty pale so I'm so OTT when it comes to sun safety haha. This one ticks my boxes.

It comes in an aerosol can with a cap. It sprays out really easily and is then really easy to spread with your hand. It does come out clear but you can feel it on your skin so I feel like it's easy enough to make sure you get every where.

It's SPF 50+ and has done a good job on my skin. I burn really easily but haven't burnt at all with this one. I can't say whether or not you still tan because I never tan anyway.

It doesn't have too much of a scent which I think is good for a sunscreen cause this can be over powering sometimes. Kind of just has that typical "spray" smell.

You can't spray it straight on your face but I just spray it into my hands and then rub it on from there.

As it suggests by its name, it does feel cooling when you spray it on too.

I really do like this and will probably re purchase once I run out. I will be interested to see how long it lasts as the last spray sun screen I had didn't last long at all.

first off, its a good size and works well, it is sunscreen at the end of the day so as long as it protects my skin from the sun ill like it, is unfortunaltey is quite thick and smells off, which does put me off it a bit, it does blend quickly and works - but the scent and texture would make me purchase another one.
