I'm not quite sure...

When I first received this free sample to try from Butterly, I wasn't quite sure which Aveeno product I had got, so of course I read the package. The package said this cream was for people who had minor skin irritation such as poison ivy, poison oak, allergic reaction etc. at the time, I had none of these, and wasn't sure how I was gonna review it.
Elsewhere, I saw that this could be used as a regular hand cream, so I decided to give it a try.
But to be honest, in my opinion they already have 1 point against them, as the bottle or box should have told me this was also a regular hand cream. I mean, I would only purchase this in store if suffering from a skin irritation.

On my 1st try, it was end of day and my hands were extremely dry. Been doing many load of dishes and hand washing. It took 3, dime size amounts to hydrate my hands.
Each application of the dime size amounts just didn't go far enough, to moisture my hands, but I attributed this to my hands being extremely dry.
The next 2 timesnI tried this hand cream, was during the day, once mid day, the other mid morning.
I used a bit more than a dime size amount, say a fat dime amount.
Going on the cream feels very wet, and you get a feeling that its gonna take all day to rub this in.
Being am esthetician, I follow the proper technique to applying cream, making sure to get the hands, front and back, fingers, cuticles and even the web at the base of each finger.
This cream goes from feeling wet, to feeling greasy and thick, real quick.
I almost thought it had silicone in it, but because it stays with the greasy feeling and doesn't quite dry, I knew it was glycerin based. Which I confirmed by reading the ingredients list.
Even 10 min after applying, your hands still feel slippery. I applied some of this hand cream while doing the review and my phone kept slipping out of my hands.

For that reason, this cream is a No for me, as a daily hand cream.
I cannot speak towards its affectiveness on skin irritations, as I dont have any.
This is why my heading is I'm not quite sure...
I can only test half of what this is to be used for.
Altho, if I did have poison ivy or oak, I don't think I'd want a cream that left my hands greasy.

I did like the packaging, and the way the lid clicked on. It has a nice little click at the end, that lets you know, it's on and done.

It is also scent free, which is a huge bonus for me, living with my mother who is sensitive to every scent on the planet. So at least I was able to apply this cream in her presence, not just while she wasn't around.

I am not sure if I got a full size bottle or a sample bottle, or if this is a travel size. There is 48 grams in the bottle I received.
Personally, I don't usually buy bottles this small, as I run through them to fast, and with the way the cap screws on and off, you cannot refill this tube.
So this would be another no, if this is the way it is purchased in store.
I have no idea as to the cost of the product, as I say again, I was given this as a free sample through Butterly, a try before you buy program.

I am sorry if my review didn't help, and grateful if it did.
I tried to put in all the information, I would want to know as a consumer. Hopefully I helped :)

Ok. Very white on skin

I only used it once and i don’t love it. be careful how much you are putting on at once. it looks like theres not much coming out so you need more but when you start rubbing it into the skin it shows very white and you have to keep rubbing and rubbing it in which i dont want to be doing. and i dont really like the smell of it even though it’s light. i was also hoping there would be no petrolatum in it but there is

I wanted to love it but sadly I got a reaction

I was using this on my dry & irritated lips, hoping it would act as a soothing balm but instead it made it even worse and I had to stop using it. I am not sure what ingredient could have caused this irritation as I do not really see anything in the product that is overly irritating.

However my mom used it on her arms after getting irritated during gardening and it soothes her skin a little, she said it was less itchy after a few minutes.

Helpful for Dry Skin but Not Eczema

I was excited to try this product as I do experience eczema so I have tried a number of different products on the market. I loved that the lotion went on smooth and did not feel too heavy or thick on my skin. I hate feeling like I need to watch my hands after applying lotion and I definitely did not feel that when I used this product. While this lotion might help with dry skin, I do not feel that it effectively helped to soothe my eczema. I found the need to apply it often and still did not feel relief from the itchiness or redness where I experience eczema on my elbows or behind my knees.

Sadly not for me

I was excited to try this product since it is dermatologist recommended and contains medicinal ingredients to help relieve rashes. I have eczema on my arms and hands and pretty sensitive skin. This balm is thick and moisturizing, and it does feel good on my itching and irritated skin. Sadly, although the ingredients list looked fine to me and it contains no fragrance, it gave me an allergic reaction so I will not continue using it.

Pleasantly not scented

I loved the fact the lotion wasn’t scented; however, it did leave a residue on my hands and didn’t leave them feeling moisturized at all. The PHA exfoliator wasn’t scented either and I loved how it made my skin feel so refreshed after

Does nothing

I didn’t find that this did anything. It’s easy to use, comes out well, and absorbs in well. But, it didn’t do anything to help with itchiness from bug bites or eczema. I wouldn’t buy it.

Fine for nonprescription

I have eczema that has been flaring up in my knees. I used this product and it did sooth the burning feeling and reduced the itchiness, however i normally use prescription hydrocortisone cream so understandably it didn’t feel as effective.
I did also try it on a mosquito bite and it didn’t seem to help the itchiness, but I haven’t found anything that really does.

Pas convaincue

J’ai utilisé la crème sur mon visage tel que conseillé et j’ai trouvé que ma peau était grasse après usage, donc je ne me sentait pas la peau fraîche. Mieux pour les mains, mais encore un peu collant.
