Most sunscreens for men feel thick, greasy and are used only at the beach; this hydrating SPF50+ is engineered for daily use, from commute to sport. Cancer Council Hydrating Sunscreen for Men delivers high protection in a comfortable lotion that fits easily into your grooming routine. With a 5-pack, you are set up to protect properly wherever you are.

This formula combines a blend of modern UV filters, including Homosalate, Octocrylene, Octyl Salicylate and Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, to deliver broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. Ethylhexyl Triazone and Bemotrizinol boost high SPF performance and photostability, helping the filter system stay effective under strong sun. Preservatives such as Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol and Octanohydroxamic Acid help maintain product integrity over the life of each tube.

The lotion spreads easily, absorbs quickly and leaves a light, non-greasy finish that suits everyday wear, including under work clothes. Skin feels hydrated and comfortable rather than sticky or heavily fragranced. The water-resistant wear supports outdoor activity while still rinsing off with your usual cleanser at the end of the day.

Apply generously to dry skin 20 minutes before sun exposure to allow the filter system to form an even protective film. Reapply every two hours, and after sweating, swimming or towelling, for maintained protection. Use daily on face, neck, ears and exposed body areas as part of your regular grooming routine.

High SPF50+ broad spectrum protection helps defend against both burning UVB and ageing UVA rays.Photostable filter blend is designed to remain effective under prolonged sun when reapplied as directed.Water-resistant performance supports outdoor sport and activity without immediately rinsing away with sweat or water.Hydrating, non-greasy lotion is formulated with men’s texture preferences in mind for day-long comfort.

Use this hydrating sunscreen after cleansing and shaving as the final step in your morning routine. Pair with other Cancer Council sunscreens for specific activities, such as sport or sensitive formulations, so you always have the right level of protection on hand.

• Step 2. Squeeze a generous amount into your hand; use at least a teaspoon for face, neck and ears, and more for exposed body areas.
• Step 3. Spread evenly over the skin, taking care to cover commonly missed spots such as ears, back of neck and tops of feet.
• Step 4. Allow 20 minutes before going outdoors so the sunscreen can form an even, protective film on the skin.
• Step 5. Reapply every two hours, and immediately after swimming, heavy sweating or towel drying.
• Step 6. Use daily, even on cloudy or cooler days, whenever UV exposure is expected.

Pro Tips

• Keep one tube at home, one in your gym or kit bag and one at work so reapplication is straightforward.
• Apply after shaving to help reduce tightness and dryness, using gentle pressure over freshly shaved areas.
• Do not skimp on quantity; using too little significantly reduces the stated level of protection.
• Combine with sun-safe clothing, a broad-brimmed hat and shade for a more comprehensive defence in high UV conditions.
