Calmness
I use a sunscreen product daily and found this product appeared to be light weight but left a residue on my face. While I love that this product has a sun protector. It was not for me.
Found it drying
Although the product is non greasy and has sunscreen built in, it didnt work for my dry acne prone skin. I got dry patches and breakouts. Mineral stuff usually doesnt suit me so maybe will work for others. It does say for sensitive skin so.. not sure.
it's not suited for my face
I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.
This is a first time for me to try out a moisturizer with SPF 30 and that is tinted so wasn't sure what to expect.
Aveeno moisturizer has no fragrance which I really like, as I don't like for my moisturizer to contain a fragrance. Now it claims to blend into all skin tones and I have to disagree on that.
This moisturizer has a thick consistency, which is not a bad thing, however applying this product took some time to blend in. A
little bit goes a long way, so if you apply too much, you will be spending a minute to two trying to blend the product in. I found that this did give me a sort of white cast (medium skin tone) if I didn't vigorously blend this into my skin.
I also don't like that this moisturizer gave off a tacky feeling to the skin, it felt as if the product was just sitting on my skin. This has a sheer finish and while I don't like how this looks on my face, simply due to the white cast, I can say that I will be using this on my legs. My legs are very pale in comparison to my face so I don't have to aggressively blend this product on my legs and there is also no white cast.
Great value product, a little sticky
Aveeno® Calm + Restore Daily Face Moisturizer Mineral SPF 30
I was stoked to learn that I’ve been selected to try another @Aveeno product! Extra happy about this as I haven’t been using SPF lately on my face, and as most of ya know… we just should!
It definitely was very gentle, had the appearance of a slight tint to it, but that blended right into my skin.
It did feel lightweight, but I personally also found it felt a little sticky. However, not more than a typical moisturizer that has SPF! I think a part of the “sticky” sensation is due to it being a mineral SPF. Mineral based sunscreen still gives broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection but without the nasties you’d have in other sunscreen! But, it definitely feels different than sunscreens that aren’t mineral based. It doesn’t feel greasy or heavy necessarily. Just a little… there. You just notice it’s there.
It goes on nice and smooth, and is naturally moisturizing! The container is 40% post consumer recycled plastic to boot!
Perfect if you want a mineral sunscreen
Après quelques essais, j’ai finalement trouvé la meilleure façon de l’appliquer: la technique des pois, un peu comme lors qu’on applique notre rétinol. La texture, puisque c’est une crème minérale, est plus épaisse que ce que j’ai l’habitude de porter, mais on s’y habitue!
After some tests, I finally found the perfect technique to apply it: the peas technique, like when you’re applying your retinoid. The texture, because it’s a mineral sunscreen, is thicker than what I’m used to.
SPF for daily wear!
Although I do like the fact that its an spf as well as a tinted moisturizer in a sense, I wouldn't use it on a daily basis, as I find it a bit thick for my liking. With that being said, my daughter likes it a lot.
Heavy feeling
I was really excited to try this product I received from butterly to test and review as I love aveeno products. However this one disappointed me. It wasn’t weightless feeling, I could tell it was on my face all day long. I actually got a couple of zits from it and I rarely breakout. Application was smooth and loved the mild scent, just my skin didn’t like it. Wouldn’t recommend this specific product.
Aveeno® Calm + Restore Daily Face Moisturizer
I really wanted to love this product as I have been looking for an affordable moisturizer with SPF to use daily especially during the summer but unfortunately this doesn't work for my skin tone. It absorbs okay and feels okay on, but its too white on my skin and I don't wear a lot of make up to cover it up. I look like I've put on sunscreen and not moisturizer.
Lovely tinted SPF but with one big flaw
I absolutely loved how this SPF was tinted which helped in giving my skin an overall unified look, however, I noticed that if not thoroughly blended, could leave streaks all over the face. That's its biggest downfall unfortunately. You need to make sure that it is properly worked into the skin especially around the jaw and neck. It's a great SPF though and I'll continue using it on days when I have the extra time to make sure there are no patches.
Great spf coverage
I’m always on the lookout for a moisturizer with a good amount of spf protection and Aveeno Calm is it …it’s alittle thicker then I expected and it tints your skin a bit when you first apply it but it goes away quickly and absorbs fast so that’s a definite bonus …
