Disappointing

I was lucky to get the opportunity to try the new Aveeno Maxglow serum and primer through the Prodcut Review Club. First I have to say, the concept of a serum and primer surprised me as a serum is supposed to be highly concentrated, so the idea of having a primer included? Hum ok. Then I was really shocked to see it was actually very liquide as I am used to thicker serums. But I kept an open mind. However, I was really disappointed by the format of the bottle and delivery. You have to shake the two phases, which makes the bottle leak, then you have to apply a very very liquidy oil, that runs in between your fingers. All in all, not only I didn’t feel a glow, I didn’t like the formula and dispensing method. It should be labeled n’as an oil, not a serum, and pleAse include a better dropper.

Not the product I thought it would be

After a long dull winter I was excited to try this brightening new product for spring. I first tried it after my normal morning routine of showering and doing my hair. I decided to use it as a serum and go makeup free for the day as I very often do. By the time I was ready to leave the house my entire face was SO OILY!!! Because the product was new to me I had only used three drops on my whole face. I will be giving the product away to a dry skinned friend.

I received this product complimentary to test and review from ChickAdvisor.

Un produit qui m'a rendu perplexe.

J'ai eu la chance d'essayer ce produit gratuitement, je ne suis pas convaincu de la fonction sérum et base en même temps? Il rend ma peau très huileuse et il laisse un fini luisant, ce qui ne pas du tout plu. Je trouve le produit dispendieux.

Bof!

Un sérum qui se porte par-dessus l'hydratant, je trouvais ça étrange. Ce produit sens vraiment très bon et est rafraîchissant. Cependant, je n'ai pas aimé le fini brillant qu'il a donné à ma peau malgré le fond de teint appliqué par la suite.

Not worth it

This does nothing for my normal/combination skin. I dont think it's worth it. I prefer other primer or serums over this. I gave it a chance but for the price I think its not worth it at all. I got this product for free to rey and give my honest opinion. And this fell short. I live the max glow cleanser though. The scent is great though.

Aveno primer

This smell wasnt as good as the other i feel even though i shook it it seperated quockly leaving me with an oily mess on my face even though i didnt out much on it. I just felt irritated all day with it being on my face.

Greasy

This product had me so excited about it. However it made my face very greasy and oily. It has a nice light smell and the packaging is nice, but it just didn’t work for me. I have combination skin, and it just let me down!

I would not purchase again

I was excited to try the Aveeno Maxglow Serum as part of my daily cleanser however I found the product to be very liquidity and I seemed to waste more of the product then I actually was able to use on my face. I think the serum has a a potential to be added to a daily regimen but it needs to come in a more solid or creamy form. I would not purchase again as I hate wasting product.

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.

Not a fan

This serum smelled amazing, however it was really hard to pour out of the bottle. The opening was really big so I was worried about over pouring, however I quickly realized that despite the big opening, not a lot came out. In fact, I struggled and had to shake some out.

I was not a fan of this particular product as it was very oily on my nose. It reminded me of sunscreen being slathered. But this was only my nose. For the rest of my face, it felt fine. I definitely felt a layer of something that didn't absorb, but it was tolerable. Overall, I wasn't a fan as I feel there are other similarly priced products that make your face feel better after using it.
