Aveda Inner-Light Mineral Tinted Moisture SPF15

I’m glad I only tried this as a sample, because I don’t like it. First of all, SPF 15 is too low. Second, it isn’t fragrance free. Third, due to the low SPF, it has to be applied over sunscreen, and it feels thick and hard to spread and blend. Just not pleasant to use. I like a tinted moisturizer that disappears into your skin. This doesn’t. It feels sticky and heavy and it’s difficult to …Read more

So far I'm liking this quite a bit. Might have purchased a shade pale for me (Beechwood), but it's fine for the winter and can be warmed up with a little bronzer on top. I have combination skin and was stuck in the Minneapolis airport for 15 hours just the other day. Needless to say, I was looking for a beauty pick-me-up so picked this up along with a few other goodies. It goes on …Read more

This tinted moisturizer is not the best, but it's not the worst. It has light-medium coverage with a dewy finish. If you have oily skin, this will not be for you! Back when my skin was very oily, I looked like a grease ball after a few hours.

If you have dry skin, you might have some better luck. However, there are better tinted moisturizers out there and for better prices. I …Read more

I purchased this is the shade "Sweet Tea". I'm not a huge fan of Aveda Skin Care, although I love their hair products.
To my surprise this went on like a dream, and looked like a second skin. It blended out really beautifully and just looked clean and fresh.
Not my HG but I will definitely keep this on hand.
I like the tube for travel. It's a great size and non …Read more

I am definitely a beauty addict and have a virtual pharmacy of cosmetics in my home so I can say that I've tried almost everything out there. I have several BB or tinted moisturizer SPF products but this one is a top favorite that I grab when wanting to look natural and glowing. I add some powder on top to set or get a more matte look. I also add some MAC strobe cream on the high planes of …Read more

I bought this tinted moisturizer to try since Aveda claims to use 85% "natural" ingredients (at least that's what the salesgirl told me). I wanted to try another tinted moisturizer since Sephora doesn't carry Bobbi Brown products anymore :( (I know, so sad). Well, this was the worst product I've ever bought in my life. It was tacky, smelled weird and to top it off - after …Read more

After trying about 15 different samples of tinted moisturizers I feel this one just about does what I need. A little coverage, color and dewy finish. My favorite La Mer tint was taken off the market and they have not replaced it so I had to go on a search. BB or CC creams left a matte flat finish and the ones that state they leave a dewy or luminous finish are loaded with white pearl effects …Read more

I'm really surprised by the amount of negative reviews for this product. I have used it for years, and it saved my skin (and my pride) at a time when my skin was a dry, flaky mess. Granted I have very dry skin, and this product probably works best for those with dry-very dry skin due to its moist finish. For me, this finish was the selling point, not something to be powdered down. I have …Read more

This product is a very expensive way to cause a major reaction in a single use. It has a tacky skin feel and does not cover or tint the skin in any way. Pretty much a total loss in every way!

I worked at an Aveda salon for 3 years and became really partial to this tinted moisturizer and the dual foundation pressed powder. Let me start by saying that I have extremely acne-prone skin. I've never had a tinted moisturizer or foundation that doesn't break me out, and this stuff doesn't! I love it! I think it has just the right amount of coverage for a TM. I apply this …Read more
