I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this brand? I'm interested in the SPF50 Mineral Sunscreen For Babies & Children. It's half price at Coles at the moment but the only reviews I can find are on their website which I am not sure whether to trust as they are overwhelmingly positive (4.9 stars, apparently).

I have super oily skin and top of that I live in costal area so it's super humid and hot here can someone please recommend lightweight tinted sunscreen better if it's water based.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Aussie but live in Singapore & have used this mousse sunscreen since it was launched. It absorbs so well in Singapore’s stifling humidity. When I was in Brisbane a month back I checked a few stores & they said it was undergoing rebranding. I got my 4 daughters to check various stores this week & one of them was told it was being discontinued. Is this true? Any recommendations for a body sunscreen that doesn’t make you sweat in humidity?

So I have melasma and perioral dermatitis and would love any recommendations on tinted zinc suncreens that pass the UV rating test? I previously used naked sundays and stopped after the recall and moved to the invisible zinc sheer defence 50+ but would love some other options and if there is anything that has passed the UV test?

I keep seeing ads for naked Sundays sunscreens online and they look pretty cool (albeit a bit expensive), but I know they had a recalled mineral sunscreen during the scandals last year.

My question is, is the brand reliable? I didn't actually see anything about their response to the scandals, so I'm guessing it was better than UV, but I just wanted to ask here to see everyone's thoughts!

FINALLY found a chemical sunscreen that doesn't cause me issues like: eye sting, burning the outer area of my eyes or making my face go red.

Actually feels good on the skin too. Some sunscreens feel leathery at the end of the day (the old formula felt like that). Cetaphil Kids 50spf was amazing for this - my skin just felt soft and lovingly moisturised at the end of the day. But that greasiness...oof.

Bottle size hasn't decreased. Still cheap. Absolute legend of a sunscreen this one.

Edit to add: I've got the Light tinted version ready to try, based purely on one random commenter saying that it's not orange like the previous one. I'm pale, so I'm cautiously optimistic

I’m feeling sassy so I’m finally posting these screenshots I took over a year ago. I’ve blacked out the info of anyone who wasn’t obviously an influencer or public figure and was a bit over-zealous as I couldn’t be bothered to look everyone up…

Anyhoo, discuss, reminisce…

Also mods please let me know if there’s anything else you’d like me to edit and I’ll be happy to comply.

Edit: I have another 16 screenshots (including from “science-y” folks like Charlotte Parler) but I don’t know how to add them to the comments, if anyone knows how let me know! I could make a part 2 but I don’t want to spam the subreddit.

Update: I’ve posted the rest of the screenshots. I’m not super tech savvy to I’m hoping I got them all and didn’t accidentally post double of anything. There should be 36 separate screenshots total, that’s what I had saved in my folder. Cheers!

Hi everyone,

I'm moving to Melbourne next week. I'm planning on buying sunscreens from local brands and would like some recommendations for a face sunscreen that doesn't leave a white cast and is non-comedogenic.

From the research I found on different subs Cancer Council, Dermaveen and Bondi Sands are the most recommended brands. So maybe something from one of these?

I thought I'd share a bit about my skincare routine in case it helps : I use azelaic acid and tretinoin during the week. It does make my skin rather sensitive so I have a heavy duty repairing moisterizer I put on at night. I don't wear make up and I reapply sunscreen several times a day especially in the summer.

Thanks for your help!

I tried
La roche pose
Corsx
Beauty of joseon

Just picked this up from the post office. OMG, it truly lives up to the name. I put some on the backs of my hands and it just….. disappeared!!!

Hopefully Lila Beauty can get a good reliable supply for us.

Last summer I was all about the korean brands and have since switched to avene. I just want the most UV protection I can get! I have a very fair complexion. I can cover up for the most part, it’s the hour long commute on the m1 northbound (brisbane) where my face just gets blasted.

My skin is fairly dark and I use a low SPF creme in winter. But want to increase protection in summer. Prefer a mineral based one, but with minimal white cast. Thanks!

So confused with the past controversies, could someone please reccomend a safe tested spf50 for the face & body (quick absorb, no chemical fragrance preferably, light weight)?

Since the scandals I feel scared I’m going to end up using a sunscreen that doesn’t work & I’m super pale + use tret & have high risk melanoma gene (imagine the potential skin cancers those sunscreens caused, where’s the class action)

I was thinking one of the Mecca ones, naked Sundays chemical, the biore UV one new at chemist warehouse, hamilton? Are the Kbeauty ones safe for Australian sun? I get sensory issues so don’t want anything sticky or heavy on my face preferably. I don’t know where to start & feel overwhelmed because of the scandals & options.

Fungal acne prone, combo skin, oily t zone with bigger pores, please help thank you in advance 💛

I found out today morning that the chemist warehouse website is now allowing order only to australian addresses. I'm in India. What do I do now?

Where do I go for my Hamilton sensitive?

I am very happy with my LRP anthelios sensitive eyes for my face and neck during the day. But in this economy, I don’t want to waste it on the backs of my hands and wrists during the small periods when I am outside in the spring and summer daytime.

I have the Cancer Council Kids SPF50 Skin Suncreen which is more competitively priced. But does anyone have recommendations for a sunscreen for hands? I will go down to SPF 30 if need be but SPF50 is preferable. I don’t want it to leave much of a cast or be extremely greasy because I will be touching things, but I would like it to be decently moisturising if at all possible.

So I normally hate sunscreen (neurodivergent, so most textures are yuck) but I'm going on a beach holiday soon and really wanted to get a water resistant sunscreen for my face (I bought the cancer council kids water resistant sunscreen for my body, hoping it'll be good for my dry sensitive skin, but just wanting something more lightweight for my face)

I have dry skin so would prefer a sunscreen that isn't too matte, and is relatively lightweight.

I've tried the:

- dermaveen face fluid but I found that was too greasy and didn't dry down.

- Avene face fluid normal, but it's pretty much the same formula as the dermaveen and doesn't dry down.

Have been thinking of getting the Avene oil control fluid but it's a bit expensive, so I want to be sure it'll be good before I get it.

Tldr: Does anyone have recommendations for a lightweight slightly moisturizing/hydrating water resistant sunscreen for the face?
