A daily skincare must-have!

Wearing sunscreen every day has been part of my routine for a while now, but it’s always been a struggle to find one that pairs well with my other skincare products and makeup. As an Aveeno fan, I was very excited to try the Calm + Restore Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30 for free! The product applied to my skin nicely, I felt like it absorbed quickly and didn’t leave my skin feeling tacky. The colour of the moisturizer blended into my skin seamlessly, avoiding the typical white streaks that other SPF products often have. The moisturizer created a nice base for me to apply my makeup, I didn’t experience any product pilling. I wouldn’t say that it evened out my skin tone, as I think I would need to be using it longer to see that result. However, my skin did feel nourished and moisturized after each use, which I think led to an overall improvement in the look of my skin. Although it’s not the summer, I would say that the SPF in the moisturizer did protect my skin from the sun. I typically spend a lot of time outside, even in the winter, and can often get burnt from the sun reflecting off of the snow, but luckily I did not experience any burns while wearing this outside on the snowy, sunny days.

Great hybrid moisturizer

I love the fact it's organic, has hybrid multi uses, SPF 30, minerals and no alcohol to dry out skin, no perfume to cause skin reactions. Zinc oxide is the best SPF coverage out there. A little goes a long way! My skin tone is more even and less red! Blends in evenly.

Checks all my boxes

I am picky about my facial moisturizers and sunscreens because I wear them everyday. For me, it is important that they work well under makeup, they don’t leave a white cast, and they do not cause breakouts. This sunscreen moisturizer checks all of those boxes, so I am super happy. It is also a thicker feeling formula, so it feels very hydrating and nourishing. I have been wearing it everyday for the past two weeks and love it. I will definitely repurchase when it runs out.

Very gentle!

This product was kind and gentle on my sensitive skin and my daughters as well. It has slight coverage but you have to make sure you run it in because you may have a slight “casting” if you don’t. There is no scent . I feel good having a 30 SPF on this

Daily Sunscreen

This is a great daily all in one sunscreen and moisturizer. At first, I wasn’t so sure, I found it a bit tacky but the color does blend well. I will keep using it - I would love to see how it feels on my skin during the summer months. I use SPF all year round so I was excited for a moisturizer with SPF.

Good moisturizer and mineral sunscreen all in one.

Using sunscreen is one of the most important products to me. Having one that you can incorporate into your beauty routine; moisturizer and sunscreen is even better. The Aveeno Calm and Restore Daily moisturizer for sensitive skin made my skin feel soft, hydrated and applied easily. It is not greasy but does have a slightly tacky feel once applied, make-up is easily applied.
It has mineral sunscreen ingredients, not a chemical ones, which usually leave a whitish cast. I have light olive coloured skin and applied a very small amount and it wasn't very noticeable but on darker or tanned skin it could be more obvious. I liked that it is fragrance-free, dye-free and free of parabens to mention a few. As well, the tube it comes in is made with 40% post consumer recycled plastic. Although the box it comes in is recyclable, the tube is not. I did not find that it really evened my skin tone, it gave a sheen that was even. As far as leaving it look healthier or evened skin tone, I would say the light sheen made my skin look like I applied an illuminating primer which could work with other cosmetics like foundation. It is so important to wear sunscreen every day since skin cancer is the most common type of cancer, and to find one that double as a moisturizer so it is part of your beauty routine makes it easy for you.

Non greasy mineral face sunscreen

I received this product free to review in exchange for my honest opinion. The things I really liked about this daily face sunscreen were the fragrance free, non greasy feel. What I didn’t love was how it blended into the skin. I thought it left a bit of a white cast and I didn’t love the feel even though it wasn’t greasy

Soft & Smooth with added SPF

Perfect timing as the sun comes out of hiding from behind the snow clouds. I was chosen by @thisisbutterly to sample @aveenoca Calm & Restore daily moisturizer with SPF30. It’s light and leaves my skin feeling soft with a bonus of added spf 30 sunscreen for added skin protection. This will definitely become part of my daily routine.

The tint+ SPF solves my purpose

Love the tint, love the SPF, it not only protects the skin but it makes my skin look super healthy and gives it a glow, I depend on skincare for glow to avoid using makeup and this gave me a beautiful glowly finish. I love that it is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, which is a win-win for my sensitive skin, it has the slightest fragrance which only reminds me of a sunscreen mineral, so not an added fragrance. Lastly, as someone with dry skin, I need to add a layer of moisturiser under this cause this alone does not moisturise my skin enough to the point of comfort. Overall, I like it as it suits my sensitive skin.

I wish it was SPF50!

✨Aveeno Calm + Restore Daily Face Moisturizer Mineral SPF 30✨

Thank you to @thisisbutterly and @aveenoca for sending me this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

🔹Mineral SPF 30 (broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection)
🔹Formulated for sensitive skin
🔹Hypoallergenic, non-comodegenic
🔹Free of alcohol, fragrance and phthalates

I’m so happy to see everyone excited to get on the sunscreen train! I’m not big on mineral SPFs because of the severe white cast they tend to leave but this is tinted and it claims to “blend into all skin tones”. My skin tone isn’t dark so this wasn’t put to a true test but it did indeed blend in better than other zinc oxide/titanium dioxide formulations. I wasn’t super keen on the sparkly glow (it was a bit too sparkly for me). No visible scent here, which is a must for sensitive skin!

Just based on the texture, I’d say this is better suited for someone with normal-to-oily skin if it were to be used as a moisturizer and not a sunscreen. I didn’t find it overly heavy but I did think it didn’t hydrate as well as I was anticipating. I did notice it started to separate in places like around my nose but it may not be as noticeable on someone with a normal skin texture or one with dryness (with a moisturizer underneath).

Overall, this would be a nice drug store brand product for someone looking for a gentle, mineral SPF – I’ll be passing this along to someone who is specifically looking for something with these parameters!
