Aveeno Maxglow Serum + Primer

Thank you Chick Avisor for allowing me to test this product!
I had assumed that this would be like any other makeup primer, and was I ever wrong! This primer is not like any other primer I've tried. Looking at the packaging the product is an a translucent bottle, so you are able to see the product separation inside. I had no problem with getting a few drops into my palm and applying it to my face. I have large pores and most primers I have tried actually make them look larger after applying makeup. Not this primer/serum combo. It was hydrating with no greasy/oily finish,it absorbed so well into my skin, and my skin felt so silky and smooth after application. This is by far my favorite aveeno product to date, and I can say that I've finally found a makeup primer that works for my skin! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with combination skin!

Awesome serum/primer

This is a really great serum. I love this product. I know it says to apply after your skincare routine as a last step but I use it before my moisturizer and I prefer it that way. It depends what I’m using it for. If I plan to use makeup that day I’ll use it as the directions say. Otherwise, I’ll use it before my moisturizer.

It’s light feeling, not oily, light scent. Skin feels really soft and a nice glow is left when applied. Very happy using this product will definitely purchase once I run out. A little goes a long way so that’s a plus as well. I got this product for free from chickadvisor.

Aveeno Positively Radiant MaxGlow Serum & Primer

I found Aveeno Positively Radiant MaxGlow Serum & Primer to be a very confusing product. The texture is very watery for a serum or a primer. It has the consistency of a toner. Everytime I had to apply it on my face I wanted grab a cotton pad, the way you do with a toner, instead of patting it on my face with my fingers.

It comes in a clear plastic bottle and separates into a 2-phase liquid, so you need to shake the bottle before every use. When you remove the lid it spills out, so after the first couple of times I started to remove the lid first, cover the bottle with my finger and then shake the bottle. Dispensing a few drops into you palm is also pretty messy. A dropper would have been a better option for this product.

I gave this a try without applying makeup and it left my face feeling a bit sticky (I have combination skin). I also use this before applying makeup and even thou it did not interfere with my makeup, I also did not see any significant improvement.

I found the product to be expensive and would not add this to my daily routine. I would not recommend it to family and friends.

Disclaimer: I received a free product for review. This is my honest opinion.

Great serum!

I use this product after washing my face before bed, and also before applying makeup. I do feel it's better suited as a serum rather than a primer as my skin was a little oily after using it as a primer.

I love the light scent in this product, but I also love how soft my skin is after using it. My skin truly glows underneath my concealer and foundation!

Moisturizes and helps keep your makeup on!

Thank you to Chickadvisor for sending me this product to test out and review.
The packaging of this product is very interesting. Before I apply the product, I have to shake the bottle so that the two separate layers will mix together to do their job. The serum has a nice soft scent and is very smooth and easy to apply to the face. It absorbs nicely into my skin and leaves a soft sheen to it.
I have no problems applying my foundation smoothly on top of this product. It definitely helps my foundation sit better on my skin.
My skin feels moisturized throughout the day after I use this.
I would definitely recommend this two-in-one product for anyone who is looking for convenience and effectiveness.

Radiant Skin - Just a Step Away!

I was fortunate to be able to try the Aveeno Positively Radiant Maxglow Serum + Primer through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club program. This product is perfect for both a morning and an evening skincare routine. The packaging opens with ease but the bottle system is a little messy to use. The usage directions were easy to follow. The Aveeno Positively Radiant Maxglow Serum + Primer is lightweight and absorbs into skin fast - making it look and feel radiant. Plus, it has a pleasant scent!

great product

Love using this product for my skin.
It absorbs well and really quickly and leaves my skin with a positive glow afterwards
my skin also feels smooth throughout the day
this product is also gentle on my skin!

Works great as an overall serum

I received this product for free as part of the Chickadvisor review panel in return for my honest opinion.
As this is a combination serum and primer, my expectation is for it to do both jobs. In reality though, I think it works way better as a serum than as a primer.
Before applying the product you need to shake it well in order to mix the two parts together. It is a very light serum and absorbs easily into the skin.
I find it leaves my skin soft and dewey feeling. In terms of the primer functionality, I don't think this product works as well. It didn't do a very good job of helping my foundation stay matte throughout the day.
Regardless, I still think this is a great product to use as a serum due to its quality and affordable price point.

Très bon produit

J'ai eu la chance d'essayer AVEENO POSITIVELY RADIANT MAXGLOW SERUM & PRIMER en creme gratuitement par ChickAdvisor.

Il laisse la peau d'une douceur incroyable. C'est la dernière étape avant le maquillage alors j'avais peur que cela laisse une sensation collante mais non. Il pénètre rapidement dans la peau. Il sent super bon

Great product

J'ai recu ce produit de Chickadvisor: AVEENO POSITIVELY RADIANT MAXGLOW SERUM & PRIMER pour le tester. j'ai adoré l'expérience de recevoir des produits a tester a la maison. Ca fait 2 semaines que je l'ai recu et que j'utilise au quotidien. L'odeur est tellement bonne et l'effet est quasi instantané. C'est une excellente base pour le maquillage aussi. N'oublier pas de mettre un fdt ou une creme avec un indice de protection solaire.
