I bought this product because of its SPF and Almay's clever marketing.
However, from the first day I used it, it irritated my skin and made it burn. I had to discontinue use after two weeks because my skin could no longer take it.

I was suckered by the happy, pure-looking packaging to think that this really is a great product for sensitive skin. I should have read the ingredient list more carefully--it was only after I got it home that I discovered it contains a chemical sunscreen I'm allergic to. Not exactly the pure product they're selling. I wasn't able to use it and had to throw it away.

i used this for a year. at first, when i was younger and my skin was more tolerant, it seemed to give me a wonderful, unbeatable glow. after about a year of use, i finally realized that this 'moisture lotion' was the blame for my uneven skin tone and aggravated face. this stuff does not sink in well AT ALL, it smells like crap and, overall, i really don't think its healthy for the skin.

I was suckered into this product by its name "milk". It sounded like a nice soothing lotion that would have a nice consistency. I also chose almay because I was needing a moisturizer for my combo/oily skin that wouldnt irritate it, and almay claims to test their products 100 or so different ways and use the finest ingredients. The first thing I notcied was its smell, which is a straight up sun screen scent (reg sun screen not coconut scented sun screen). When I applied it immediately my face begin to turn red and sting. My face does break out easily from sun screens, but they have never burned in the past (never burned with coppertone oil free, cetaphil, and neutrogena) I had to rinse it off after 2 minutes because my skin could not take it. The milky texture does not exist with this product, its a straight up greasy thin feeling facial lotion. Since I got irriated so quickly I was obviously not able to see long how this works after beign worn all day. I would not recommend to any skin especially sensitive. I was quite disapointed with almay because they of all people claim to have such irritation free products

I tried this for a little while, and I must say: Never again! This lotion went on shiny and PINK, no matter how much I tried to blend it. It irritated my eyes, dried my skin out AND somehow managed to turn my face into a pink, shimmering oil slick at the same time. (Developed patches of dryness and patches of zits.) Maybe it just wasn't right for my skin type or skin colour, but honestly, it was a terrible and total waste of the ten or so bucks I paid for it. Straight into the trash can after three attempts to put this lotion to any sort of useful protection, moisturisation, or anything at all. The packaging was a little bit cute, (the plastic "milk bottle") but the plastic label was just ridiculous and peeled off in patches. The scent wasn't very enticing either, at times it smelt like milk that had gone off just slightly, and other times it merely smelt of chemicals with a milky touch...and neither one of these scents appealed to any of my olfactory senses, by any stretch of the imagination.

love how the packaging looks like a bottle of milk! very cute. the only complaint i have is that it smells like sunscreen. just like it. i wish it were unscented or smelled like just about anything but sunscreen. other than that, its so great! it doesnt break me out, and it doesnt look or feel greasy on. my skin feels smooth and looks great. almay should make this into a body moisturizer. love it.

I absolutely love this face lotion. It has has definately softened my lines and has made my face so even toned, i haved recieved compliments on my skin ever since i have been using this. It stinks but i asked my boyfriend if he can smell it once all of my makeup was on and he said that he can't smell it. But it doesn't make my face oily or anything. I love this product, and it works great with the Almay milk plus smoothing skin refinisher. I got the both for 3.99 at grocery outlet, but they are both about 10.00 at target. But the are worth everypenny!!! will definately buy again.

This moisturizer isn't that bad at all. It had broad spectrum SPF, and doesn't irritate my senstive skin, which happens with most other SPF moisturizers. It says its fragrance free, but the sun block in it dominates the scent. It's even thick and creamlike, just like any other sun block. Even though it didn't instantly sink in, it did a pretty good job moisturizing my dry skin. I would not repurchase this because I can't stand the smell of sunblock.

Smells like spoiled milk. The smell stays on your skin, please do not waste your money. The sour milk smell is awful!!!

I bought this product because the packaging caught my eye. It was so cute! But I didn't like the smell when I first started using this product. I think I got used to it though. It has a rather filmy quality, but it's an okay moisturizer compared to the price.

The milk bottle is really cute and it has spf, that is the main reason I bought this. I have combination skin, but I found this was much too greasy for me. It's still a good product thought, just not for me.

I've been using this product for almost 3 weeks now and have noticed a huge difference in my skin. My face is sooo much softer and my complexion just glows. My skin tone is also more even and the little red marks left by pimples have disappeared much more quickly than usual. I would give this product 5 stars except that it does take little while to absorb. I do have a very oily T-zone and normal skin elsewhere and I have not found this moisturizer to be too greasy. A little bit goes a long way! I only use about a baby pea sized drop for my entire face and it works great. I know that for the amount I put on my face, the spf will not be what the bottle claims but I also have spf protection in my foundation so I layer it on. This moisturizer has actually helped my oilies. I've noticed that when I use the moisturizer, I don't have as much shine through my makeup, which was contrary to my logic, but it's the fact!

This product doesn't absort into your skin. Its very heavy feeling.

I adore this moisturizer, It is my holy grail! Leaves skin luminous, soft, just gorgeous! Just remember, this moisturizer is for "normal to oily", not "oily" skin, it will probably be to greasy on Oily" skin types.Plus the bottle is way cute and it's got spf and is fragrance free.
Almay is a great comp[any and their line of "milk" skincare is superb.
Just a note, unscented means they put a "masking frangrance" to mask the fragrance caused by the ingrediants in the product, fragrance free has no fragrance of any kind so yea, this smells faintly but thats just the scent of the ingrediants in the product.

I have to agree the packaging is cute and that's mainly what suckered me in. But once it was on my face, it was a mess! It just sat there and didn't absorb into my skin. Not good.

Aww, why all the bad reviews? :-)
I kind of like it! Ok, so it's a *bit* greasy but nothing really bad. And after it soaks in it makes my skin feel nice and moisturized.

I admit that I was attracted to the cute packaging, plus I'm a sucker for skin care items. However, this is Grease City! I have dry skin and this is a slimy texture that just 'sat' on my face and never sunk it. It made my face look oily and feel like a grease pit. It also caused me to break out and it made my skin red and itchy. Stay away from this one, ladies!

this irritated my face (as most chemical sunscreens do). like others, it was greasy on me as well.

Made me slick and slimey, not to mention breaking me out. I will give it some merit for having a cute if tacky bottle and a pleasant fragrance. However, these two aspects are not nearly enough to ever make me want to go near a bottle again.
