90% OF CHICKS DIG IT
Thick & very white casting product
Aveeno is one of my fave product lines however this product was not its best. I have oil toned skin and it left me “white casted” and very sticky.
I would not recommend this product.
Doesn’t absorb well into skin
After trying the Aveeno Calm + Restore Daily Face Moisturizer Mineral SPF 30 i have decided this is a product that I would not purchase to use again. I found the product to be very sticky after application, making it hard to apply. It also never felt like it absorbed into my skin, instead it felt like a kind of sticky layer of product on my skin all day.
Very thick
I was very excited to try this face cream and hoped this would be the one. However , I found as a face cream it was very thick and needed to use more than expected. Also after faithfully trying it for weeks, I found it dried out my skin.
Sticky
I did like this product at all. It felt very sticky on my skin. I have previously used Ultra Calming and I found it much lighter feeling on my skin. I wish it wasn’t discontinued.
It's Sunblock
I was really hoping this would be something I could use daily but it was way too thick and not moisturizing at all. It comes out of the tub slightly tinted but still had white cast on my face. Definitely not what I was expecting. Fine as a sunblock but not as a daily moisturizer. I also felt like it was hard to wash off.
Whitecast galore
gave me major whitecast. My skin tone is medium. was also hard to spread/ rub into skin. furthermore, my skin was left feeling like there was makeup on it and became oily as the day went on
Caused breakouts
I used this for well over a week and unfortunately experienced an atypical breakout. After several days of stopping the product, the breakout cleared up. I believe the culprit could have been the Zinc, which is a shame, as I think my fair skin could benefit from this kind of SPF. It also felt a bit tacky while putting on, and I could see how it might leave a white tint/film on someone who has a different skin tone to me. What I did like, though, is that it was quite matte and didn't feel greasy or look shiny.
Wanted to love, but…
I received a complimentary bottle of Aveeno Calm and Restore Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30 in exchange for my honest review. Although I really wanted to love it, as I am a fan of Aveeno’s gentle products, this turned out to be a miss for me.
First of all, I have extremely dry skin and did not find this product to be moisturizing at all. I found it difficult to rub in, and it left a noticeable white cast on my fair but rosy toned skin. In addition, the mineral components accentuated every dry flake and rough patch. It also left a long lasting sticky residue on my face.
As a sunscreen it worked well, protecting my sensitive skin from sunburn without any irritation. In fact, I will continue to use it as a sunscreen around my eyes as it is one of the very few sunscreens that do not make my eyes red and weepy. In my opinion it would have been better marketed as a gentle, non-irritating mineral sunscreen.
Leaves a white residue on coloured skin
I tried this product, and would not recommend it, as it leaves a white residue on light brown skin. Did not blend into my skin. Was not what I had expected, as advertised.
Seems to dry more than moisturize.
I received this product for free to try, and I have found that on daily use while working outdoors in a harsh environment in northern Canada. That this product dries out my skin more than moisturizes my skin. It seems kind of confusing as it goes on feeling more of just a makeup base as opposed to daily moisturizer. The chances of amusing this product again are very slim, as I have stopped using the product.
