Great moisturizer with sun protection
I would say this is heavier than a typical "daily moisturizer", but I love that it's SPF 30, and so I'd say this is a great lightweight daily sunscreen! It does feel a bit sticky upon applying, and also some casting is apparent, but that is probably unavoidable given the mineral active ingredients. After a while, you don't notice the stickiness - the moisturizer does feel pretty lightweight. I appreciate that the active ingredients are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which are better for those with sensitive skin. I've tried it on my kids (5, 8, and 12 yrs), who have sensitive skin and it works well on them. This is such a better option for them than applying sticky sunscreen on a daily basis. I would definitely use this regularly for myself and especially my kids.
Lightweight sunscreen
I didn’t expect this is a tinted coloured sunscreen. I used a little bit to see how the color turns out on my skin. It’s nice light texture and easy to apply. I don’t mind the colour since it doesn’t appear on my skin and make my skin tone evenly covered. I can use it year around.
2 in 1 moisturizer
I found this moisturizer to be very lightweight. It absorbed quickly and did a great job moisturizing. As stated, I didn’t find that it clogged my pores and is fragrance free. I would love a higher SPF overall.
Great product
Love how easily this blends into skin. Subtle tint which is great for blurring imperfections on days you don't want to wear makeup. Will definitely be adding to be daily routine come summer
Mineral with out the cast
I was very surprised that when squeezing the product out it was not white and it wasn't a thick firm product.
It is definitely a lot heavier feeling then your average face cream, but this makes sense as it is a sunscreen with minerals.
Applying was fairly easy, but does tend to apply more like a typical mineral cream. It doesn't glide over your skin and requires the full blend. I had no issues with a white cast on my skin once blended. I even did a half and half comparison with my normal cream and this and didn't notice any major difference. Smell was minimal and I didn't specifically notice it in anyway.
Aveeno Calm & Restore
I received Aveeno Calm & Restore spf daily moisturizer for free . I’ve tried this moisturizer for the last 2 weeks and ohave really liked it . No irritations , gives me good coverage & lasts all day . It’s pretty thick going on but blends in in seconds
Amazing drugstore option - POC headsup!
As a person of color, finding skincare products that cater to my unique needs can often be challenging. However, Aveeno® Calm + Restore Daily Face Moisturizer Mineral SPF 30 has emerged as a promising option, although with a minor caveat.
Let's start with the positives. This moisturizer boasts a soothing blend of colloidal oatmeal and feverfew, which provides much-needed relief for sensitive or irritated skin. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly and delivers long-lasting hydration without feeling heavy or greasy. Additionally, the inclusion of SPF 30 mineral sunscreen is a significant advantage, offering broad-spectrum protection against harmful UV rays. Despite its many merits, one drawback I encountered was the slight white cast left behind upon application. While this may not be a concern for everyone, it's noticeable on darker skin tones. Although the cast tends to diminish over time, it can be a deterrent for those seeking a moisturizer that seamlessly blends into their complexion.
However, it's essential to note that this issue doesn't overshadow the product's effectiveness. Aveeno® Calm + Restore Daily Face Moisturizer Mineral SPF 30 still delivers on its promise of hydration and sun protection, making it a viable option for POC. With regular use, I've found that the rubbing it in for an extended time evens out the cast.
In conclusion, this product offers a compelling blend of soothing ingredients and sun protection, making it a valuable addition to any skincare routine. While the slight white cast is a concern, it's important to consider the overall benefits and effectiveness of the product. With its gentle formula and protective properties, this moisturizer remains a worthy contender in the realm of skincare for people of color.
Great moisturizer
Averno makes my skin feel fresh and soft. It stays hydrated for hours and does not leave any residue on my skin. I highly recommend this product for long lasting soft skin
Doesn’t leave skin sticky!
I love that it doesn’t leave a sticky feeling on the skin and provides moisture and spf at the same time! I wish I got one shade darker as it is a bit light on me
Smooth application
This moisturizer with 30SPF is great for sunny days. It is basically unscented with no strong fragrances. Consistency is light and creamy, and it applies smoothly and absorbs well. It leaves a slightly tacky feeling but leaves my skin looks dewy. This is great for those with sensitive skin as it contains oats which have a calming and anti-itch effect. Active ingredients are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Overall, this is a great product and I would purchase this again.
