90% OF CHICKS DIG IT
Not the best
I find that it takes some time to really get the product to blend out. It's not really hydrating for a moisturizer. I wouldn't recommend wearing it under makeup since it pills quite a bit. It also has fragnance to it. Overall, I don't recommend this product.
No good for darker skin tones
I am of medium dark skin tone and it did not blend in well with my skin tone. It left a white ast that was hard to work into my skin. And in natural sunlight, it was visibly ghostly.
Too thick and chalky for darker skin tones
I was given a free product in exchange for your honest and unbiased review.
Cream was a little thicker than I was expecting and has an orange tint to it. On my brown skin, it didn't rub in very well and left a chalky white film behind. I currently use La Roche Posey which is very liquidy and blends right in without leaving a chalky residue which allows me to layer makeup on top of it. If you like using Aveeno creams which are a bit thicker and feel like they create a barrier against the elements on your skin, then this would be great for you. I prefer creams that melt into my skin and I don't feel them anymore.
A little heavy feeling
The price is right but I wasn't a big fan. I found it a little heavy feeling and had to really rub it in for it to absorb.
This might not be a turn off for some people but I like something a little lighter under my makeup.
Very sticky and chalky
Not my favourite moisturizer. Was very very chalky on my skin and didn’t blend well. It sort of pilled up into little flakes when applied. A lovely package but not my favorite product.
Broke Out Like Crazy + White Cast
I wanted to love this product, I really did, but I just couldn’t. I used it on my face (since it’s a facial moisturizer) and I broke out like crazy! Nothing else in my routine changed during this time, so it was very clear that the culprit was this product. I’m now dealing with some acne scars that I got from the break outs. What is shocking is that I’ve used products with colloidal oatmeal before and had quite good results (never broke me out.) This was also not just purging acne. I’m well aware that your skin can experience a period of purging whilst adjusting to a new product, but I’ve experienced purging many times before (during my quest to find the skincare routine that works best for me), and this was NOT purging. This was full-out acne brought on by this product. I also don’t have sensitive skin! I have extremely dry skin, but not sensitive, so again, I was really shocked by this outcome!
The other thing I really didn’t like, was that the product had a SIGNIFICANT white cast (which for anyone who doesn’t know the term, it’s when sunscreen appears white on the skin and doesn’t blend well with your skin colour.) I know this is a more commonly experienced problem for people that have darker skin, but I have a light olive complexion. This product should have had NO issue blending into my skin if it was able to do what it claims. Unfortunately, this product simply does not blend well to match skin tone (at least in my own experience.) I would have to rub it in for five minutes to get most of that white cast to go away, but even after all that, there was CLEARLY still white cast on my face. I honestly am really disappointed with this product; I wouldn’t recommend it to others and I won’t be using it again—at least not on my face. I’ve tried it on my body and it didn’t give me any body acne, it does however, maintain that white cast (so if you don’t like it when sunscreen does that, then stay away from this product.) For me though, I don’t mind this white cast too much if it’s on my body, since it ends up just looking like regular old sunscreen.
Unrecommended for Combination Skin
I was looking forward to a lightweight daily moisturizer with SPF that would suit sensitive, combination skin without clogging pores as was marketed, but my skin did not react well to it. My face would feel oily, clogged, and it only got worse as the day went on and the layer of product could be felt, heavy and causing small acne breakouts. However, if you have dry or normal skin, it probably wouldn’t be a big issue. I was surprised it had an orange-peach colour to it yet didn’t leave any cast and spread smoothly. The product is fragrance free, but smells slightly akin to plasticine. I don’t think I will be considering trying this again anytime soon, but I hope another Aveeno product may redeem my opinion in the future.
leaves a white cast
I was so excited when I got to try these. I’m a fan of sunscreen and never goes out without it. I mostly use chemical sunscreen and this is only the second brand of mineral sunscreen i have used. On application, I noticed that it leaves a whitecast and a little hard to blend into the skin, I also noticed after application that it pills. I still gave it a try and used it for a week but unfortunately I wasnt happy with the product. Others might like it though, it’s just not for me. Probably depends on the skin cause I have dry to extra dry skin. This will probably work better on oily skin
.
Super tacky
The texture is very tacky and stays that way on the skin which isn’t ideal when applying makeup afterwards. It has a light skin tone tinted hue to it from the bottle. If my skin was more tanned at the moment I’m sure it would leave a white cast. The one thing I like is that it makes my skin feel soft. Unfortunately I don’t love it because of the tackiness.
Greasy texture
I did not like the formula. Its very greasy. Don't recommend. It is shiny and doss not look good on the face. Usually i like aveeno products. But not this one.
