It left my face dry, no moisterizer in it at all,

didnt like it at all, my face felt dry after applying it, mabe I didnt know what it was for, but I didnt like the feel of this product on my face. I really dont know what to say I would not buy this or recomend it to any of my peeps.

Not for me!

I was excited to try this moisturizer, hoping it would provide the perfect balance of hydration and sun protection for my skin. However, my experience fell short of expectations.

Despite its promise of being lightweight and non-greasy, I found the moisturizer to be quite greasy on my skin, resulting in an unpleasant shine. Moreover, despite claims of blending seamlessly into all skin tones, it left a noticeable white cast, making it obvious that I was wearing sunscreen. This left me looking ghostly and feeling uncomfortable.

Even after washing my face, the white cast persisted, which was disappointing. Additionally, when attempting to apply makeup over it, the moisturizer failed to provide an adequate base. My foundation didn't blend well, and it deteriorated much faster than usual.

I gave this moisturizer multiple tries in the hopes of a better outcome, but unfortunately, the results remained consistent. It's evident that this moisturizer is not suitable for my skin type.

From pale to ghostly white 😬

I was gifted this complimentary in exchange for my review, and had high hopes for this moisturizer given how much I love the Oat Gel moisturizer by Aveeno. Unfortunately, the texture and tone was a total miss. I'm quite fair, but this gave me a ghastly white cast; definitely not suitable for all skin tones, as per their claims. The texture felt sticky and tacky on my skin, and gave me a greasy appearance overall.

I tried to give this product a second chance as a primer under my makeup, but it did not give my foundation/concealer any longevity. I would only recommend this to anyone who is exceptionally pale, though even then I would still have reservations about it.

Thumbs down for me

Not liking this product at all its hard to blend into skin and leaves my skin chalky white. Do not recommend whatsoever ever odd because it's pinkish in colour so I thought it would be OK

I wanted to love it...

I geniunely wanted to love this moisturizer. I love a product that is multipurpose, especially when it comes to spf. When it is done right, have a product with any additional sun screen agent is a holy grail essential. Unfortunately, this one from Aveeno just isn't it. I tried using this moisturizer over a dozen different ways and no matter what, it pilled horribly. It was literally one of the worst products I've seen for that. I first tried it with my normal routine. Eye cream, serums, moisturizer, sunscreen, makeup. Each item gets time inbetween to soak and settle into the skin. The pilling was outrageous! I had to take everything off and start all over again. So, then I tried eliminating products or subbing in different brands. Nothing changed, some products only just made it worse (face oil, I'm looking at you). Even with no other skin care and just barest amount of makeup, I could not make it work. So, frustrated, I decided the only way this product may work for me is on no makeup days when I just need my face to be miosturized and protected from some UV rays. With that in mind, we fortunately had a day of unprecented mild weather for February in Ontario and I thought, what perfect timing to text out this moisturizer while I catch a little vitamin D. I applied a thin layer (I made the mistake of overdoing it with this product and it was not pretty - lesson learned!), grabbed a book and headed outside. I had to answer a call mid sun sess and the absolute mess left on the screen after I pulled it away from my cheek was unbelievable. Not only had the product just pilled on its own, it left a perfect grease impression of my face on my phone. That was the last test I could think of to put this product through and it failed so, so bad. Now, I'm not going to completely blame the product for all of this. It could very well just be how interacts with my own combination skin (I did try it on the backs on my hands and it seemed to pill a bit less there). Potential buyers should know that there is chance that the problems I experienced could happen to them though.

I don't want to make this entire review negative as there are a few good qualities. 1: It's good for senstivie skin, 2: Its unscented, 3: Uses a mineral sun block, 4: It's afforable, 5: Love Aveeno's sustainability efforts, 6: It has a slight tint that makes things look a little more evened out and 7: After it pills and has to be wiped off, my skin actually feels really, really nice. So, whatever absorbs while it's still on is pretty great.

Overall, I can't personally recommend this Aveeno Calm + Restore Daily Face Moisturizer Mineral SPF 30 but I'm hoping that my problems with it are due to my own skin and not the product itself. Unfortunately, not everything works for every body. I still love Aveeno and will continue using the other products they make that I know work for me. In the meantime, I will continue to use this moisturizer on the backs on my hands which is an area that always needs a little more moisture and spf.

I received this product for free to test and give my honest review.

Does not blend into the skin (women of color)

I was really excited to try out Aveeno Calm Restore Daily Moisturizer with Mineral SPF 30 because I could not find anything suitable as the other brands do not completely sink in however, I had the same experience with Aveeno Calm Restore Daiky Moisturizer with Mineral SPF 30 sadly this did not give me the results I was expecting.

Meh

I'd prefer not to leave a poor review for anything I received as a free sample. I'm appreciative, but this isn't for me. The smell was pleasant though.

Not the product for me

I didn’t particularly love this product. The good thing I would say is there’s no odour. However, I didn’t like the weight of the product on my face, nor that it took so much effort to work on. You could tell I had product on as it had a white cast and that was after rubbing it in for a while. When it eventually dried, it was cakey.

Laisse la peau collante

Je n'ai pas aimé du tout utiliser ce produit. Je l'ai utilisé la première fois avant d'aller me coucher. Quand j'ai mis un peu sur ma main, la couleur était beige... comme si c'était un fond de teinte... J'ai juste attendue au lendemain matin car je ne voulais pas salir mes draps. Le matin je l'ai essayé et ça a laissé la peau de mon visage collante. Après quelques jours d'utilisation j'ai simplement arrêté, c'était très désagréable comme sensation.

Ashy cast! :(

I don’t have much luck with mineral SPFs but I just won’t give up trying them for some reason. Was this @aveeno Calm + Restore Daily Face Moisturizer Mineral SPF30 a hit or a miss? Keep reading to find out!

This lightweight SPF moisturizer is advertised to be gentle on sensitive skin, is developed to blend into all skin tones, and supposedly provides all day moisture. It contains 100% mineral actives for broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection.

I applied less than the usual “3 finger method” in the event I end up with a white cast and I’m so glad I did. A small amount of SPF gave my olive skin tone an ashy cast. I tried to fix my face with some powder foundation and ended up with flaky skin. I somehow saved my skin from looking dry and ashy by spraying a very hydrating serum to blend in my powder foundation. Throughout the day, I felt like my eyes were starting to get itchy. When I was washing my face at the end of the day, my eyes got even more itchy and irritated.

Safe to say, this was not a hit for me. I will have to rehome this SPF or perhaps use it on my body instead.
