    This is one of the few sunscreens that passed Choice's SPF test: https://www.choice.com.au/health-and-body/beauty-and-persona…. It's also not too slimy.

    EDIT: Just realised OP had this in the description, my bad.

    • easternculture on 12/09/2025 - 09:30

      It has a petrolium based ingredient that is not considered safe by FDA.

      Methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone)

        Good luck finding an UV-A sunscreen without Avobenzone that is approved by FDA. It is the only UV-A filtering ingredient that FDA has approved (up to 3%).

            @easternculture: I'm pointing out the fact that methoxydibenzoylmethane is the only ingredient that is approved by FDA that is also effective against UV-A.

            Your alternatives are:

            • Stay indoors
            • Get exposed to UV-A
            • Use sunscreen with potential side effects.

            Still remember sitting in the sun for hours, especially the school years.

            Sun sensitivity has a genetic component. I don't get sunburnt either, but skin cancer risk (mostly caused by UV-A) has little to do with sunburns (mostly caused by UV-B).

            But when you slap a petrolium derived ingredient on your skin everyday, what do you expect.

            I expect nothing, in general. Vaseline is a petroleum product and perfectly safe unless you have a specific allergy. The word "petroleum" doesn't have an intrinsic, dangerous meaning.

              @bio: Staying indoors and not exposed to sunlight aids in inhibiting your immune and hormonal system. Keeping people indoors is what is making pharma money.
              People are driven by fear in the media. You stay indoor, you have more health problems like depresssion, poor immune systems, hormonal imbalances and vit D deficiency.. UV-A may cause cancer, but the chemicals you slap on your skin have the potential to be more harmful to your body since the skin is the largest organ of the body and absorbs everything you slap on it to the deep layers. So if they can use that fear to get you to use sunscreen or stay indoors, thats more money for big pharma.

              If the theory that UV-A causes high rates of cancer is true, trust me when i tell you that everyone i know would have skin cancer.

                @easternculture: @easternculture - UV-A contributes - however it does not burn the skin, but is linked to melanomas. UV-B is sunburn and linked to basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas. Both cause skin cancers.

                All UV radiation can cause skin cancer - it's a combination of UV-A, UV-B, your location on the planet and your genetics.

                Sunscreen is not a non negotiable in Australia.

                  I think you missing the chemicals absorbed into your skin at time of exposure and your immunity. If you lack the cells that destroy irregular cells (due to staying indoors all the time) , you are at a higher risk for any cancer

                @easternculture: "Stay indoors" was a tongue-in-cheek comment, as in "what are you gonna do? Stay indoors?". Sorry, I thought that was clear, but obviously it wasn't.

                  @bio: Lets assume that im wrong and you are right.
                  UV-A can penetrate through glass, clothes and other material. That means, even if your sitting the shade under a tree, or inside your home next to the window, you are being exposed to UV-A. So you are continously exposed to UV-A even in the places you think are safe.

                  From AI

                  you do not have to be in direct sunlight to be exposed to UV radiation, as UV rays can reflect off surfaces like sand, water, and snow, and penetrate clouds and windows. Even on a cool or overcast day, when the UV Index is 3 or above, you can still experience significant UV exposure and potential skin damage.

              Vaseline is a petroleum product and perfectly safe unless you have a specific allergy.

              Petroleum jelly is also not biodegradable and can have a negative impact on the environment. When it's washed down the drain, it can clog waterways and harm wildlife

              From AI

              Cons:
              - Does not moisturize:
              Vaseline only traps moisture; it doesn't provide any moisturizing ingredients itself.
              - Can cause breakouts:
              Its thick, occlusive nature can clog pores, especially for those with oily or acne-prone skin.
              - Traps bacteria:
              If applied to unclean skin, it can trap bacteria, sweat, and dirt against the skin, potentially leading to irritation and infection.
              - Potential for PAHs:
              Unrefined petroleum products can contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are linked to health risks. However, thoroughly refined products like Vaseline are generally considered safe and free from harmful levels of PAHs.

                • easternculture on 12/09/2025 - 11:51

                  @bio: You only looked at one point which proves to me that you are blind sighted and not looking at the bigger effect and picture.

                  • traps moisture meaning it interferes with skins ability to self moisturise and can cause rebound dryness and dependence on vaseline.

                  • traps bacteria, clogs pores which means it interferes with the skins ability to clear toxins naturally kill harmeful bacteria, can lead to cellulitis and acne.

                  • is not biogradable which means more microplastics in the seafood you eat and negatively affects wildlife which also means more risk of getting cancer when you reingest the microplastics.

                  As you can see from above, the only people benefiting from the effects above is big pharma and Doctors.

                  Dry skin -> medicated skin products, steroids
                  Acne -> medicated skin products and roaccutane/tretinoin (one of the most expensive medications for acne)
                  Cellulitis -> antibiotics, dressings and more medicated skin products
                  Microplastics induced cancer -> chemotherapy and more drugs

                    @easternculture: This is pure demagogy. None of those are properties of petroleum based products exclusively. Coconut oil is also comedogenic (clogs pores). Lanolin is an animal based organic product that traps moisture and is also comedogenic.

                    Also vaseline takes a long time to decompose, but it doesn't have "microplastics". Where did you get that idea from? I think you are just making a soup of everything that AI (which, by the way, seems to have figured out that you like hearing conspiracy theories) tells you.

                      AI Overview

                      Vaseline (petroleum jelly) itself does not degrade into microplastics; instead, it is a petroleum-based product that, when washed off, can break down into smaller particles that act like microplastics and persist in the environment. Microplastics are specifically tiny plastic particles, whereas Vaseline is a chemical compound that can contribute to environmental pollution in other ways, such as by forming other micro-sized fragments in water.

                                Almost everything can be found in breastmilk. I don't know if you are currently lactating, but definitely don't use this sunscreen if you are. Also don't consume fenugreek, St. John’s wort, ginseng, aloe vera etc. either.

Like the other other chemical ingredients on this list, avobenzone is absorbed by the skin following application. According to studies conducted by the FDA, trace amounts of avobenzone remain in the bloodstream and skin for weeks after you’ve applied the substance. Additionally, avobenzone and certain other sunscreen ingredients have been found in samples of breast milk and urine.

                                    The FDA conducted studies measuring this and found that while trace amounts remain in the body temporarily, no direct harmful effects have been documented at the doses typical of sunscreen use.

                                    In humans, at the levels absorbed from normal sunscreen use, there is no clear evidence of endocrine disruption.

              Let me ask you a counter question. Why has the rate of skin cancer increased over the last say 40 years with the increased use of sunscreen, skin care products and cosmetics. I dont think the sun has changed or the ozone layer has massively changed. The ozone thining over australia has been since the 50s iirc but we dont have a direct ozone hole over australia, its more over antarcitca.

              Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world (or maybe in the universe).

              That is because we do alot of testing and drs tend to excise anything on the skin like moles, that looks abnormal or pre-cancerous (that may never develop into a skin cancer) and label it as skin cancer.

Also you are assuming i would ignore an abnormal skin lesion with the medical checkup and wait for it to become highly malignant. Finally, if i ever was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, ill spend whatever is left in my life with my kids and family. Life is temporary and if you think im going to panic and loose sleep over a terminal cancer, you are wrong. All souls taste death my friend and when its your time, no amount of chemo or palliative care is going to save you.

      Try Invisible Zinc SPF50 Face and Body Sunscreen. It's Zinc Oxide 22%. Some others are 25%.

      CW currently has them on 50% off- the only time I buy them so not too expensive. https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/80154/invisible-zinc…

      I only use it for my face- normal sunscreen stings the fk out of my eyes once I sweat or swim. And then cheapo 1L sunscreen on my body.

      I tried some other Zinc ones, some were really hard to squeeze out of the bottle, like god damn, is this a joke? It worked well but left me looking like Mr Freeze.

      It also did pretty well in the Choice Test https://www.choice.com.au/health-and-body/beauty-and-persona…

    This is my favourite sunscreen. Non-comedogenic so doesn't feel like it's blocking your pores.

  • G-rig on 12/09/2025 - 09:48

    Wouldn't use this stuff on your face, very dry and matte.
    Aldi one pretty good.

    • bio on 12/09/2025 - 10:01

      Its real SPF value is 26, though. It is better than nothing, but not as effective as this one.

      • JimB on 12/09/2025 - 10:20

        I'll be buying Coles Ultra 1L for general sunscreen (I use zinc for my face).

        $14 a Litre and was the highest of the supermarket brands coming in at SPF 43. Much higher than Aldi and Woolworths

      • G-rig on 12/09/2025 - 10:46

        Yes good not to stay out in the sun too long and or reapply. It's the number one way of aging your skin.

      My missus swears by their hydro boost sunscreen for face use, and it is definitely much "wetter" when it goes on. I suspect it might run into your eyes too easily if you used it prior to exercise though.

      This one OP posted is specifically for body only.

      Here is the one you can apply on the face : https://amzn.asia/d/cKQkRqM

      • G-rig on 12/09/2025 - 10:40

        Yes that's the one I've used, have you?
        Go and buy it and let us know how it dries out your skin.

        • bAps on 12/09/2025 - 12:01

          everyones skin is different, i use it on my face and its fine

          • G-rig on 12/09/2025 - 12:09

            @bAps: OK, yes agreed.
            There are much better moisturiser based ones with SPF but if you're just going to the beach then it doesn't matter.

            I thought the Aldi one was better as a daily that's all.

      • Nick K on 12/09/2025 - 22:19

        I always use ‘general’ sunscreen like Cancer Council Ultra on both face and body. Is there strong advice to use different types for face and body separately?

        • c64 on 13/09/2025 - 06:15

          fine if it works for you. some people use a different sunscreen because of excessive stinging, skin irritation or pimples due to clogged pores

  • Chickenleg on 12/09/2025 - 10:14

    If you have OnePass and TCB (7%) can also grab it from Priceline for some extra cents 😄

    I used Neutrogena T/Gel anti dandruff shampoo and it did an amazing job…unfortunately within 6 months my hair got super thin and started falling out. My hair has taken 2 years to recover after I stopped using that product. I can't 100% know if the neutrogena product caused the issue but I've be wary of their products ever since.

    I'll give this a go considering all the good reviews and post back if my nose falls off :)

  • Avalanche on 12/09/2025 - 11:18

    Is it 85ml or 50ml. Conflicting photo and description/text on Amazon

    • SeaWolf au on 12/09/2025 - 12:09

      Definitely 85ml. I use this one myself and have a few tubes of it at home.

  • Shazam1 on 12/09/2025 - 12:49

    50% off. Should be the normal price.

    Anyways I am not wasting money on this garbage. There are plenty here who keep parroting about sunscreen. Good luck to them.

  • bcYield on 12/09/2025 - 14:34

    Are cheap woolly suncream passed the test? They are easy to get for a short trip.

  • winterr on 12/09/2025 - 14:52

    FYI, I do not recommend purchasing Neutrogena from Amazon. Almost 2 years ago, I contacted Kenvue (parent company) to submit a complaint for an SPF that I purchased from Amazon. They told me that Amazon is not an authorised retailer.
