| redhotspicy's Full Review: Aveeno Creamy Moisturizing Oil |
After I get out of the shower, it's a race to slather my body with lotion before it begins to feel and look dry, bumpy, and itchy. Lotion keeps my sensitive, dry skin pretty happy, so I'm always on the lookout for new drugstore body lotions.
I stumbled across Aveeno Creamy Moisturizing Oil in CVS one day, and remembered I was on the last inch or so of my bottle of lotion. I was interested in Aveeno's promises of "Replenishes Skin's Natural Moisture and Fast Absorbing" so I bought the Aveeno .
I don't like heavy, greasy lotion for during the day, because I find I have to wait around for it to dry before I dress. I don't have that kind of time! I was a little concerned the oil might prove to be too greasy for me, but those fears subsided upon my first use of Aveeno Creamy Moisturizing Oil.
This moisturizer is sold at drugstores. I paid $8 for a 12-ounce pump bottle. That's a little more than I like to pay for everyday body lotion, but I'm glad I tried this stuff.
Aveeno makes a number of claims about this product: "Replenishes your skin's natural moisture. This light body moisturizer leaves skin feeling soft and silky, without the greasy feel of body oil. This breakthrough formula combines natural oatmeal, known for its ability to soothe dry skin, with a blend of oils and rich emollients that work together to replenish skin's natural moisture."
This "oil" is not like traditional oil at all! I think of oil as thin and runny, but Aveeno Creamy Moisturizing Oil is white, and has the consistency of a thinner, creamy lotion. It smoothes on very easily, and doesn't require much rubbing in. The oil absorbs within minutes, leaving my skin silky, smooth, and soft. The light cherry-almond scent is pleasing, but fades after applying the oil.
I was also concerned this oil might cause me to break out. This hasn't been true. I've experienced nothing but the smoothest skin ever since beginning to use this product daily. As the rate it's going, I expect the 12-ounce bottle to last a little over a month. I have enjoyed it tremendously and I'll definitely look for it on sale to purchase again. The rough patches and dry, parched skin are gone as long as I use this oil.
