Aveeno Calm + Restore Oat Gel Facial Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin, Fast-Absorbing, Soothing Lightweight Gel Cream with Prebiotic Oat & Feverfew, Fragrance-Free & Hypoallergenic, 1.7 oz

Moisturizing and gentle!
I have extremely dry skin that is also acne prone. It is difficult to find a facial moisturizer that does the job and doesn’t break me out. I’ve been using this along with another face cream together and it works better than anything I’ve tried. I love that it is lightweight and non greasy However, I just discovered a new use. I developed extremely dry and cracked hands. Every thick moisturizer I tried made my hands sting so badly. And things like aquaphor left my hands sticky and interfered with everyday tasks. I had the idea to try this and saw on the ingredient list that it doesn’t contain alcohol. I put it in before bed and woke up with soft, healed hands!

Good overnight moisture
Super gentle, not irritating, no scent, absorbs quickly, eases tightness and dry feeling. This is strictly a moisturizer – there are no skin treatment ingredients – but that’s fine with me. My skin looks better since I’ve been using this. This is on the lighter side of moisturizers. In winter, I might put this on first to shield my sensitive skin under a heavier cream for more moisture. This is a very good product and I will continue using it.

Face moisturizer
This product right here was the answer to my prayers. Really calms your face when it’s feeling irritated.

Wonderful moisturizer; shamefully wasteful packaging
This is one of my top three favorite facial moisturizers. It has a luscious texture, doesn’t have any fragrance, and leaves my skin soft without being shiny. So why did I rate it only 3 stars? Because the packaging is so egregiously wasteful, it infuriates me. They made the outer box big enough to fit two jars but it comes with one jar held in place by more cardboard so it doesn’t rattle around. And the jar is the absolute worst. I have posted some images of a side by side comparison with another facial moisturizer so you can see for yourself. The Aveeno jar is larger but holds less product than the other brand. (Aveeno: 1.7 oz in a 2.5″ diameter plastic jar; $11.10/ oz at time of this review; Mad Hippie: 2.1 oz in a 2.125 diameter glass jar; $13.33/oz at time of this review) The Aveeno Jar has a double wall creating the illusion that it is a much bigger amount of product. It is a shameful waste of material and even though I love the moisturizer, it makes me so mad that I frequently go to other brands that have less wasteful packaging practices. If it wasn’t for the packaging, this moisturizer would definitely be 4 stars, or even 5 for me, but I just cannot abide by companies using resources in such a careless and disingenuous way. It is irresponsible and unnecessary.

While the actual product maybe alright, the size is actually a trial size which costs about the same as full size. Hence feeling cheated. The photos shown in the description are of the actual size product.

It’s my back up for KRAVE BEAUTY GBR. Since I can’t easily access it where I am,,, this is always in my drawer.. I love it so much, I have 3 of these… can’t afford to run out.This is a good calmer to go with a Retinol,,, as a buffer or as a sandwich. Love it.
