Let me start by saying that I got this product at an awesome price! It was during CVS big discounts on makeup/skin care. I got this for 50% off!
There are two very strong points to this. 1) SPF 30! I have been having a very tough time finding a face lotion that is over SPF15, I saw this and grabbed it so fast.
2) The packaging. I love love love the packaging. I need lotion on the go because there are plenty of overnighters and short trips for me during the summer. This has a pump that has a cap! The bottle is a harder plastic, so I don't have to worry about it getting squashed in my bag= LOTION EXPLOSION! hahaha
This also is great because I have wonderful control over the amount of product. Other squeeze lotions, in my 4:45am getting ready phase, tend to over do it and having too much come out.

and the smell. It does have a strong sent (dissapears fairly soon) that I happen to like, but that may bother some people.

It doesn't make my skin feel greasy. And I have yet to have a face/neck/chest burn so far this season!

I am very happy I found this on sale, because I think it's kind of expensive for how much product you get. However, I find coupons in my paper, so I think that would help!

I LOVE THIS!!!!!! I have sensitive, break out prone skin. This is awesome. It gives me a nice glow without making my skin look oily or breaking me out. Just a tiny bit goes a long way and it provides coverage from the suns harmful rays. I did not expect to love it so much but this stuff is truly amazing. Since I've started wearing it I have gotten compliments on my "flawless" skin.

My skin responds very well to this moisturizer! (But beware, I have very normal skin that is neither oily nor dry. If you have oily skin this will make you look realllllly shiny) My skin tone actually has actually evened out to a degree. I usually spend no more than $10 on face moisturizer but I felt the need to splurge the day I purchased. I dont regret it. Unfortunately the bottle looks large but does not actually have a lot of product in it... a little deceiving. I hypothetically would repurchase but I am going to keep trying new products. Maybe I will come back to this!

This is the first drugstore moisturizer I've bought in a long time and I'm impressed. I was previously using La Prairie's daytime moisturizer for many years but still felt that my face turned greasy after a few hours. Hearing great things about Aveeno in general, I though I would try this out. It goes on slightly matte & my face gets only slightly oily mid-day (usually I would have to break out the blotting papers by then). It moisturizes quite nicely & has SPF 30, vs most other moisturizers have SPF 15. It layers well under my makeup and doesn't pill on my face.


The only cons I have are the packaging. While I like the pump, the actual package is probably 1.5-2 times longer than it needs to be. There is 1.7 oz of total product - so why the big, bulky package?
Overall, I like this product a lot and have already bought it again. Yes, at $17/bottle it's not cheap for a drugstore moisturizer but it's 10 times less than my former moisturizer.

I am at that lovely place where I have to combat wrinkles & ance. I thought that I would try Aveeno, after trying the more expensive brands; Dermalogica & Arbonne. This stuff is bizarre, it's thick & matte, but did leave a weird film, like peeling skin. It made my chin breakout and I saw visible dry patches under my foundation, though my skin felt softer... Bizarre.
It did help with the fine lines under my eyes, but overall, I can not recommend this for even slightly acne prone skin.
I'll just have to use it on my wrinkles and go back to Dermalogica...

I have mature skin and despise applying a separate moisturizer and sunscreen. So while this product is far from perfect it beats most of the far more expensive moisturizer + sunscreen products I've tried, and I've tried a lot. I will keep experimenting with samples of other products because as a previous reviewer mentioned, the packaging stinks (cannot see through to determine when you are running empty) and some days it feels a little greasy. Still, having the 30 SPF is a plus, the scent is light, it's reasonably priced, and it doesn't leave shredded bits of product on my skin that I find an hour later. That was a problem I had with the other Aveeno daytime moisturizer - sorry to digress.

If you are oily, this is not a good product for you. I have to blot and apply powder several times a day when I wear this. Because of this, I only wear this on days when I'm just running small errands and need a minimal amount of SPF protection. It also has a rather strong smell that lingers throughout the day. I only got this because it was $10 at Walgreens and I would not repurchase at regular price.

This makes my face very greasy all day. Although it made my foundation application better because i didnt have to use a wet sponge, i just use my fingers and it didnt make my foundation flaky or cakey. I used this together with the positvely ageless night cream and after 3days of use Holy Moly mY pores were very visible as though my face is like chicken's skin.. I stopped using it right away and returned it!!

I have Asian combination skin with an oily T-zone. This product didn't make me break out (I'm not really prone to break-outs anyway), but it sure left my skin very greasy which I really do not like. I feel like it also doesn't absorb very well, because when I walk to class in the morning, I could literally feel the sweat/moisture collecting UNDER the moisturizer, especially under my nose. And I'm not a very sweat-prone person either so before my day even started, my face is already feeling oily and nasty. Because of that, I feel like I'm not getting the full spf 30 because of the need to wipe my face. I'm definitely on the hunt for a HG daily moisturizer with at least spf 30 that's not greasy and actually absorbs well.

I tried a lot of SPF daily moisturizers (Olay, Neutrogena, Clean&Clear, a lot more I can't recall the name of) and I would have to say this one is the best so far. My skin is oily, and while I can't seem to get rid of the shine permanently for an entire day, it does not make me feel like I'm wearing grease upon more grease, if you know what I mean. My skin absorbs it easily and I only use about 1 and a half pumps. It's $15 a bottle, but it lasts quite a while, like a month and a half for me. The only con is, I don't like the smell at all! It doesn't linger, so it's all good.

This made me break out like crazy. I would stay away from it if you have oily skin like me.

i have gone through 2 bottles of this but i am not going to purchase again
although this does not make me break out and it seems to give me OK protection in the sun, it is quite greasy and if you put 2 layers of this on, you get oily flakes coming off your skin..

I have dry, sensitive skin and am always looking for that perfect SPF30 for daytime. I purchased this after reading some good reviews. The packaging is great, a nice bottle with a pump. Loved that. The first thing I noticed when I put it on was the unnatural smell. For a brand that considers themsleves "organic" and "natural" they are off course with this one. It smelled like chemicals...similar to a heavy petroleum. Not good. Addtionally, this light and fluffy looking product left a heavy-feeling slick on top of my skin that never seems to soak it. I don't how this can be noncomedogenic. Like I said previously, I have dry skin and usually nothing can quench it, but this was uncomfortable. And as other reviews metion below, I couldn't put my foundation on over the top of it becuase it balled-up - my face was shedding! This product was very disappointing. I will go back to my regular - and very reliable Estee Lauder Daywear Plus SPF30.

I did rate this high on packaging but low overall.

I wanted to like this so badly. I have problems finding a sunscreen that doesn't erupt my face, so I was hoping this would be it. Sadly, it's not.

As a moisturizer, this does nothing for my skin. I LOVE the way it absorbs, and I love the way my makeup glides on after, but it severely dries my skin out. After 2 days of replacing my normal moisturizer, my face was flakey, VERY sensitive. I had bumps along the sides of my temples, and right around my eye area. Right now my eye area has red patches, that are very sensitive. My cheeks/nose are so sensitive it hurts to touch them, let alone rub them to clean my face. I'm flakey from my cheeks, nose, mouth, even the corner of my eyes are flakey! I did not break out, which I usually do, but I did have tons of bumps. They weren't really noticeable, but you could feel them. Some went away after a few days, and perhaps they all would have... but the sensitivity is far too hard to deal with.

I really wanted this product to work, I need a sunscreen I can use, but alas... for me, this isn't even good enough to finish. Will finish the rest on my neck/chest/hands. Definitely not worth the price!

I like Aveeno a lot because I have very sensitive skin, and I was looking for a rich moisturizer to use during the winter that is also a sunscreen. However, this is too rich even for my skin (dried out as it is with Differin and clindamycin). I think it breaks me out. I like how rich and smooth this feels going on, but it leaves me shiny and greasy. Bummer. It is good enough to use up and it was kind of expensive to buy for a drugstore moisturizer, but I will not repurchase once the bottle is gone.

I have eczema and very sensitive skin, so I purchased this product because I have read that Aveeno is pretty good for eczema. When I am not having a breakout of dry patches, this is a really nice moisturizer. It leaves the skin feeling supple and not oily at all. But when my skin is overly dry, it burns when I put this on! And be sure not to get it to close to the eyes because it can make you tear up pretty badly. For people with normal skin, I am sure this product is great. If you have eczema or otherwise struggle with very dry skin, you may not get the moisture you need from this.

I liked this product at first because it absorbed quite nicely into my skin and the scent wasn't half bad either. But then I started noticing that it would start rubbing off? I don't know if it was my skin, but it happened a few times after I used this product and it didn't look flattering at all. It was a bit shiny but I didn't really mind, what I did mind was that I started developing little pimples on my chin. :( I wouldn't recommend this product, especially if you have an oily T-zone.

I really love this moisturizer from aveeno. Glides on smooth, absorbs into my skin well. I'm fairly young (25) with no wrinkles, but want to do anything in my power to prevent them. Love the sunscreen in the product as well. i would reccomend this product. been using it for a year, and am hooked. No wrinkles yet!
