Daily Moisturising Lotion Reviews

My skin type: Dry, sensitive

Texture: Light, gel-cream moisturiser that spreads easily on the skin. The product absorbs relatively quickly into the skin after patting.

Scent: For me, the product is only very mildly scented. It smells like oatmeal and feels really fresh.

Aveeno products have always been relatively gentle on the skin, and this is no exception. I have really dry skin and while I wouldn't say that this is a very hydrating/heavy duty body lotion, it does manage to help keep my skin hydrated and soft.
The plus side is that it feels really light on the skin and does not feel sticky.
However, I did had problem with one tube that gone bad after keeping it for a few months. I would definitely advise to finish the product as soon as possible once opened because it is a natural and gentle product.

Packaging: I used the smallest size tube. It comes in a simple flip top tube with a small opening to dispense the product. You can easily control the amount dispensed depending on how hard you squeeze the tube. The tube packaging also keeps the product hygienic and convenient to carry around.

Price: It is rather affordable and the bigger bottles are better for value. The quality of the product is really good.

I've been enjoying using the Aveeno body wash and lotion lately - the lotion is fragrance free and quite thick, which is great for my dry skin and is nice to use on top of fragranced body oil.

It doesn't sink in quickly so I wouldn't recommend if you apply in the morning and plan to wear jeans/slim fit pants. I find that if you apply on top of dry skin it sort of sits there so you have to take your time and really massage it in. It benefits from the heat from your hands. This doesn't bother me too much as normally I use this at night after I shower and apply a light layer of body oil (my skin gets super dry during colder months). This lotion does a great job of really sealing in the moisture and keeping your skin hydrated for a long time.

I keep one of these in my bathroom at all times! The packaging is great and easy to pump. The product itself has a pleasant fresh smell and is white in colour. Application of the product is easy, it spreads far and rubs into the skin quickly. It leave my skin feeling fresh and renewed. Most of my family has sensitive skin and have found that none of us react to this product. My favorite use for this product is dry cracked skin. The only place I wouldn't use this product is my face.

A great daily moisturiser that doesn't irritate even after shaving. Absorbs in well and doesn't leave any residue on skin, just leaves it smooth and refreshed. A gentle formula for sensitive skins. It doesn't contain any overpowering fragrances so it is perfect to use everyday as it won't over ride a perfume you may wear. I find it works exceptionally well as a hand moisturiser as it doesn't leave my hands feeling greasy, just soft and hydrated.

I received a sachet sample in the mail. I liked it a lot so I bought a full size pump bottle.

The lotion is of medium consistency, quite "cushiony" (i.e. not runny) but not thick. It is almost like a gel-creme with a bit of transparency. The lotion is smooth and can be applied on skin easily.

I particularly like the faint oatmeal scent. It reminds me of the farms. The scent does not linger and goes away quickly. The fragrance free formula is meant for sensitive skin, but my skin is not sensitive.

Throughout the day I find that this lotion is still a little bit sticky on skin (this is in Summer). I would prefer something that gives a more silky smooth finish. However it hydrates well.

Also note it has mineral oil and silicone. I do not particularly dislike these ingredients but they are not for everyone.

At this price point I probably would prefer Nivea body lotion over Aveeno just because it is less sticky and Nivea often has a better sale. However, I will still purchase Aveeno once every now and then for the lovely scent.

My skin is tough & not prone to dryness, so I don't use body lotion very often. When I do use body lotion, I'm a big fan of strongly scented products, however, I always keep a fragrance-free lotion on hand for post-epilating, or to use as shaving cream. Any product with added fragrance causes red spots if applied to freshly shaven or epilated skin. This lotion rubs in easily, without leaving my skin greasy & without giving me those ugly, red spots.

REPURCHASE? Probably not. This is a high quality product, but I'm sure I can find an Aussie made alternative which performs just as well. I'm trying to buy Australian whenever possible.

Made in France.

I have very dry skin so it can always be a bit of a mission to find a product that can keep my skin hydrated. In summer I find that this moisturiser is a great option. It is a light moisturiser that doesn't feel too greasy. I find it rubs in and absorbs quite quickly into my skin. It is also fragrance free so it only has a very faint smell to it that you can only really smell on your hands after rubbing it in.
I find that it keeps my skin feeling pretty hydrated if I remember to apply it at least every couple of days. Because it is on the lighter side I don't really use it during winter when I need a heavier moisturiser.
I think this would be a great moisturiser for pretty much all skin types and it's available at a reasonable price.

Our whole family uses this and we love it!

It hydrates our dry skin after a day at the beach or in the pool, soothes our sunburn and my favourite use is for before fake tanning!
I apply to my dry spots (elbows, knees, ankles and fingers) allow to absorb for 20 mins and then apply a fresh tan.

I never have tan cling to dry spots when using this product!
Super subtle-no scent. Also doesn't burn my skin if I apply right after shaving my legs!

Over the past 2 years my legs and arms have been getting very dry and very scaly. After being to the doctor, I found I had Ichthyosis Vulgaris and that there was nothing any doctor could do. So began my search for helping my dry, itchy legs. Well, it took me the full two years but having stumbled across Aveeno through a friend I never want to go back! This moisturiser is the only one I've ever tried that has kept my skin hydrated and protected even days after using it. My skin has cleared up within a month and is no longer scaly. There's still a bit of dryness but I'm sure it'll clear up over time as well. Thanks to Aveeno I can finely let my legs be free this summer!
