Good sunscreen!

Thanks @thisisbutterly for the chance to try this @aveenoca sunscreen in exchange for an honest review. I think the sunscreen is good on it’s own. It was pretty hydrating unlike some other sunscreens I tried. It did not cause any reaction and works great for my sensitive skin. However, this sunscreen does not really mix well with other products underneath like vitamin C, the sunscreen just peeled off in little bits which was disappointing. (And I did let the products dry between layers). It also kinda does not sit well under makeup either. But if you don’t wear makeup this works very well! It was good overall and I will be using it more in the summer.

A bit greasy on my skin

As someone who is fair skinned I'm always looking to try out any form of sun protection. So I was very happy to receive Aveenos Calm and Restore Daily Face Moisturizer Mineral SPF from Butterly for free in exchange for my honest review.

This moisturizer is hypoallergenic and gentle enough to be used on sensitive skin.
When I initially used this moisturizer i was skeptical that it was too tinted for my skin tone. I was surprised that it blended into my skin quite well and did not look streaky. Being that this is a moisturizer with SPF, it does have a bit of a sunscreen smell.

I did find it left my skin looking a little oily, but this was rectified by using a bit of setting powder on top of the moisturizer. It did not make me breakout like some other moisturizers with SPF. It left my skin feeling moisturizered and soft.

Although this moisturizer wasn't my favorite because I found it a bit heavy on my skin. I do think it is a good option for those with sensitive skin as it doesn't cause breakouts or irritations.

It's okay

Aveeno Calm+Restore Daily Moisturizer

This is a 2-in-1 moisturizer. It is tinted and has an SPF of 30. It's lightweight and easy to blend. It gives the skin a nice sheen without looking too oily or greasy.

But because it also has SPF in it, it also smells like a sunscreen. Which I'm personally not a fan of. I also noticed that my foundation didn't sit on my skin well after using this. For me it's a great moisturizer for non makeup days.

Hydrating, but does leave skin a bit tacky

The moisturizer is tinted, so it isn’t white coming out of bottle. It’s to even the skin tone, but I didn’t notice any difference. But it goes on fine and I didn’t notice any colour streaks on my face. There is a bit of a tacky feeling that I don’t get with other moisturizers. This can last for several hours, or one time it lasted most of the day. I’m not sure if I would apply makeup over top of it, but with a good primer it might be okay. I like that it is SPF 30, but I wonder if that has something to do with the sticky feeling it has on my skin.

For the positives, it’s a good moisturizer and I haven’t had any acne breakouts with it. The amount I need for my face is average, so I expect the bottle to last a good while.

Was okay for me

I’d give this product 3 stars, it was okay. I did not find it hydrating enough but I do love the idea of having a 2 in 1 sunscreen and moisturizer product. I’m quite dry in the wintertime and I will try this out again in the summer. I felt like the product just sat on my face and did not absorb as nicely as a moisturizer should. I felt dry after a couple hours. It does have a visible tint which is nice

Tinted mineral sunscreen

This is a peach tinted mineral sunscreen. Unfortunately for my medium tan skin it was too light for me and still gave me a white cast. However my friend who is very light was able to use it great. The texture is not too greasy and it blurs the skin nicely

Ok product

I wish that I felt a bit more moisturizing. I may prefer it in the summer when my skin isn't so dry. I also wish it evened my skin tone just a tad more. Possibly a tinted line? Willing to try again in the summer and see if I feel differently.

Calm+ Restore Face Moisturizer

The product works great moisturizing the skin, lightweight so it doesn't feel like you have anything on. I love the tint in it but with how dry my skin has been I didn't like the way it made my skin look, I need to moisturize more before trying again.

No white film and doesn't smell like sunscreen

At first glance, I thought this was going to be a great everyday sunscreen, there was no white film that often comes with an SPF and it didn't have the chemical SPF smell to it. However, it left my face feeling sticky and spots of redness on my cheeks afterwards. I don't typically have sensitive skin towards SPF products, so unsure where that reaction came from. I think for someone with a darker complexion and also those sensitive to smells, this would be perfect for them.

A bit too greasy and heavy

I believe this may be for a younger age range. I’m 52yrs of age and I found it was a bit too greasy. I tend to find this with most moisturizers that have sunscreen in them. I also found it a bit heavy for my skin.
