| misskris28's Full Review: Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion |
I've been testing out a few different kinds of moisturizer this winter. One I've been using a lot is Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion. I've been using a travel-sized sample that I picked up somewhere. I've used most of the bottle, and I'm pretty pleased with its performance.
This lotion is an excellent moisturizer, and while I don't think it lasts the 24 hours that it claims, it does leave my skin feeling softer for hours. And it doesn't leave my skin greasy at all. I simply apply it after I get out of the shower, and my skin stays moisturized all day long.
The lotion itself is off-white and kind of shiny looking. It has a pretty thick consistency, but not so much that it's hard to use -- it dispenses from the bottle easily, and I don't have any trouble rubbing it into my skin. I only have a small bottle, so it might be a very good indicator, but I've had no trouble with the bottle clogging like I have with some other lotions.
For me, the best thing about this lotion is that it really is fragrance free. I love a fancy-smelling lotion as much as the next person, but for daily wear, I prefer something that won't interfere with my perfume. For this reason, the Aveeno lotion is a good choice for me.
For those interested in the ingredients, the Aveeno lotion contains natural colloidial oatmeal, and the active ingredient is dimethicone.
I've tried three or four different lotions to hydrate my skin this winter, and the Aveeno lotion and Dove Intensive Nourishing Lotion are the two best ones I've found so far. To compare the two, I like the feel of the Dove lotion better, but it isn't unscented, so the Aveeno lotion will probably win out when it comes time to purchase more lotion.
Overall, I think Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion is an excellent product, and I will probably purchase it again in the future.
Price and availability: Aveeno products aren't the cheapest ones out there, but they're priced pretty reasonably. You can get a 12 oz. bottle for $8-10. Aveeno products can be purchased at most drugstores and mass merchandise stores. If you just want to try it, there are travel-sized versions available; the one I'm using is a 1 fl. oz. size that I bought for a dollar or two.
