AVeeYES!!
I managed to find a great deal on this online for under $4 for a 12 oz bottle but did consider that these go for around $6-$7 in my evaluation. Firstly, I love that this contains SPF. There are several versions of this lotion and I believe there are other SPF options but when the olatter option is nothing, I find this to be just enough. I also reallly llike that there is a pump and it works well; a decent amount is delievered on each pump and it goes a long way because one could get by using about a dime-size on their face. Another plus is that Aveeno--as given by the name--is made from oatmeal which contains great benefits including antioxidant propeties that reverse damage from pollution and sun exposure as well as soothes sunburn, helps with skin conditions like eczema and so much more; I would suggest you read up on it.
Despite packaging though. I do find lotion to be a bit greasy and heavy at first but did does fade out and considering the active ingredients provided, I assume this is all due to the SPF but I do not mind. There is a light smell of SPF as well but not nearly as strong as most sunscreens. I do find it lasts a long time and is great for light protection. It could even works as a base under spray sunscreen.
The final portion of this review is dedicated to a Pro/Con list for Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 15
❀Pros❀
❀Quality: Great formula with the added benefits of SPF
❀Quantity: Heavy, thus, only a small portion is needed per use
❀Packaging: Super handy pump :)
✿Cons✿
✿Consistancy: Slightly heavy and greasy initially
✿Smell: Slight smell of SPF
In summary, Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 15 is a quality product and variations of the brand with most specifically, variations of SPF are to both be expected and looked out for. The item is a great value because only a small portion is needed which the pump does a great job at delivering. Oatmeal, which Aveeno is created with, has many great properties including that to repair damaged skin and the added benefits of SPF bring motr vslue to the table. Benefits outweigh the negatives in the light smell of sunscreen and the slight greasiness. However, I would not recommend choosing this over a sunscreen as this is only for light coverage. The higher the SPF number, the more protection. This is on the lower end but decent when sun exposure is limited. That being said, I would definitely recommend the product as well as the majority of products from Aveeno and hope to share more of my experiences with them in the future.
Mixed Feelings
This product really gave me mixed feelings. I love Aveeno lotions & body washes, but this specific one just wasn't being nice. What I mean by that is that when you apply it & it gets in your hair such as eyebrows & baby hairs or even on your skin itself it starts looking crusty. When on your hair it makes it look like you have a really bad case of dry scalp & on your skin it just doesn't blend in at times, therefore it just sits on your skin. That's really the only issue with the lotion & sadly there's no way to avoid the problems it causes.
