big w does
Amazing - thank you!! That deserves its own post.
$10 for 150ml
This must only apply to non-Metro stores.
Source: I went to my local Metro Woolies on my break today and there were no half-price sunscreens.Metro pricing is completely different.
I suppose…Winter is coming
Not in Qld 😎
anything here thats not greasy on the skin? I think its the water resistance making it super greasy, but at this point im open to anything on sale.
Recommend the pink labelled sunscreen: https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/699444/can…
I personally use it and it is extremely lightweight.
Surf Life Saving Spf50+ Daily Sunscreen 1litre was non greasy the last time I bought it, I returned the Woolworths one litre, way too greasy.
My favourite is the Aldi one in the 500ml tube very non greasy.
My personal favourite for the use on the body is this:
https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/644973/can…I am pretty picky about my sunscreens and this dries on quickly and doesn't feel heavy at all on the skin. Not greasy at all.
Will give this a go, thanks. Need a new body sunscreen.
Any others that you dis/liked?
Not really, once I found this one it's been my holy grail. For the face I usually use Korean sunscreens which won't be available at Woolworths.
@q28: For drier skin and for a slightly dewy finish either:
- Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun SPF 50+
- Round Lab Birch Juice Sun Cream SPF 50+ (more dewier than BOJ)I personally am using the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Sun Serum SPF50+ for a year now as I have more oily skin and prefer a less dewy look.
You can get these from Lila Beauty or other reputable stores. W Cosmetics is a physical store option if you have one around but it will cost more.
Expect no white cast for all of these and an overall lightweight feel.
In addition to not being greasy - Anything here that does not leave a white cast on a fair/ slight tan skin as well?
Sorry I know you specified products here but once you run out I really really have to suggest Hamilton Everyday Face SPF50+ Cream 75g!! Its currently on sale at CW for $10 but I've definitely seen it at woolies for half price ($8~)! Its truly lightweight and the finish is !!matte!! My prev go-tos were Beauty of Joseon/Roundlab which are current popular K-beauty ones, but Hamilton has actually surpassed both just bc of the finish and the price! Also Aussie made which is great. If you want a guy's perspective Labmuffin's husband does a review too. He mentions no white cast too!
Also have tried all versions of LRP Anthelios - Hamilton for the price & finish comes first easily!Went on a Reddit deep dive after seeing this deal.
This Hamilton product was mentioned over and over again, preferred over even LRP and Mecca. Planning to give it a go after I finish my supply of K-beauty sunscreens.
For body, decided to try the Banana Boat dry balance.
Ooh yea I hope you like the Hamilton!!
Yea for body sunscreen its always hard! Ngl, I normally go to CW or Priceline's website and just sort by popular, looking for economical, unscented and big tub sunscreen. I hope the Banana Boat works out!

Please only put mineral sunscreens on your kids. Chemical/organic sunscreens are hurting them.
The Zinc and Titanium ones are the mineral ones that could possibly be harmful.
The chemical ones are the ones recommended to use:The only method of reliably avoiding nanoparticle-containing sunscreens would be to choose a sunscreen containing only organic ‘chemical’ filters.
I don't know where that advice is coming from. For kids especially, Mineral based sunscreens are advisable
It came from Mr bombastig’s article.
@Skatez: I couldn't find it there. But I found this:
Chemical sunscreens might protect against UVA and UVB rays but could also generate reactive oxygen species and carcinogens upon exposure to sunlight
@wisdomtooth: Can only see it in the RACGP article posted by Ibreav below. Paragraph 2 of “Implications for General Practice”.
Sorry for quoting the wrong source.
I'd be careful relying on a single secondary-source for big accusations like this, since they're often not backed by science. I highly recommend considering the opinions of experts in that specific field, and taking into account that Australia has one of the most regulated sunscreen industries in the world due to our extreme risk of skin cancers.
Lab Muffin Beauty Science has a great discussion on Huberman's skincare advice that highlights where it succeeds and where it falls short. https://youtu.be/r0xINIwcF0w
Excuse the ignorance ,but any difference in sf50 in a supermarket own brand and something that's more than double the price? What exactly are main differences please
In terms of actual protection from the sun, price makes no difference. What matters are a high SPF, water resistance and broad spectrum protection. You can get those things at any price point.
Otherwise, some people prefer the feel of certain brands, or may look for ones that have moisturising agents or are formulated for sensitive skin (for example).
Not sure of other health insurance providers, but with ahm extras cover you can claim $250 per person for Cancer Council branded sunscreen. Could stock up for the next couple of summers at these prices
Don't. They expire.
Limit exposure to sun or apply poison to my skin? Decisions, decisions 🤔
Shade and cover when the sun is too high, nothing if it isn't, and zinc on the face. That's enough.
Even at half price, Aldi sunscreen is significantly cheaper.
I tried the Aldi version ‘OMBRA’ everyday blue tube for under $3 for 100ml. It’s surprisingly high quality stuff for the price.
150ml of the sunscreen not on sale :(
