Pills so badly under makeup :(
The product is nice and I like the packaging and feel of it but haven’t noticed it’s done anything amazing for my skin and the worst of it all is that it pills under my makeup so my makeup looks terrible. And given it has sunscreen I can only wear it during the day when I’m wearing makeup also!! So… all in all not great lol
Nothing Fancy
I recently tried this new SPF moisturizer and here are my thoughts.
The ingredients are wonderful and the packing is very well suited for the product. The product doesn't have a strong smell which is great for a facial moisturizer.
However, I personally did not like it. The main thing I noticed is that if you use too much, it builds up and leaves "clumps" on your face. I had to use a very precise amount to allow it yo blend properly into my skin. Additionally, while it is tinted, it made my skin look too light for my liking.
Meh
Honestly, I wanted to love this as I love the other calm and restore products, but it kept pilling on my skin and dried down too fast for me to spread it out more to avoid this. Maybe I could figure out the exact amount to use over time, but that takes too long for me and I don’t want to keep having pilling makeup everyday while I figure it out.
Cakey, not too moisturizing and left skin oily!
I wear SPF every season, I sometimes even wear it when I’m not going out. I've been around the block when it comes to SPF products! I applied this moisturizer right after cleansing my face in the morning. The texture was in between thick and thin, it was tinted and had no scent. When I applied it, it was a little hard to spread on my face, making it look like I had a white cast on my face, but I think it went away after a bit. I would not say it is the most moisturizing face cream and I do not think I would recommend this product to someone with my skin type. I noticed throughout the day, my skin would get extremely oily and it was not comfortable at all! I think it might have to do with my skin type, but it is great for sensitive skin, does not give me a breakout and it is fragrant-free.
A good semi tinted sunscreen for sensitive skin
This Aveeno Calm + Restore Daily Face Moisturizer Mineral SPF 30 is a decent sunscreen especially for sensitive skin. It is light. I find it harder to blend unless mixed with something hydrating and it might leave a sticky sensation after. However this sunscreen once blended can help improve face complexion.
Sticky sunblock
I was excited to try this Aveeno sunblock. However, I found it left my skin, a bit sticky, and also with a coverage that didn’t blend in with my skin tone. It was tinted and I thought it would give my skin and even glow. It left it sort of with a white cast. it was mild and gentle. I had no irritation after using it. I was looking for a better overall application.
I did like that it was fragrance free.
Nice to have a mineral sunscreen option
The sunscreen felt good on my skin but left a pinky glowy white cast. This may work for other complexions but didn't for mine. It applied smoothly I just wish they offered additional tints
Thick Moisturizer
This moisturizer is quite thick and not something I would be able to wear everyday. Which is a shame because of the SPF protection in it. This would be better for someone who doesn't wear makeup everyday.
Not for my skin tone
I like that this product is light weight and non-greasy. It spreads and absorbs on my skin too. It also works as an SPF and a moisturizer. It is sensitive friendly too. Unfortunately, it is way lighter than my skin tone and left a white cast after application. The tint did not help either,i guess. I mostly used it without makeup right after my toner and serum. I am also not comfortable with one of its key ingredients. Overall, I won't recommend it to anyone with my skin tone,sadly
Too lightweight for mature skin
I received this free in exchange for a product review. I grew up using Aveeno products as a toddler and now I use it on my children. I noticed that my skin needs more moisture than normal as it helps reduce wrinkles around my eyes. I am in my mid-40s so maybe age is a factor? I like that it has SPF in it as that helps reduce my wrinkles. I have age spots now so I will keep using it to see if it helps. I have only been using it as a day cream and it does feel light on my skin.
