Pros:

Moisturizes well enough.

Cons:

face is shiny afterwards and sometimes white heads appear.

I used this product for a year and at first I thought it was the best. But after a couple of months in, I began noticing more white bumps. After washing my face and applying the bp at night, I would wake up in the morning to pretty decent skin; no white bumps, or at least reduced/ less visible ones, if any where present. After applying the moisturizer and checking up on my skin later during the day, I've always noticed that the white bumps started to appear again. Perhaps this moisturizer is more pore clogging than originally thought.

Pizza face
I used the same moisturizer for years and saw a commercial for this and decided I would change up my skin routine. Worst idea ever. I've never really struggled with acne, just a few break outs hear and there, but two weeks after using this product my skin was the worst it has ever been. I looked like a full blown pepperoni pizza. I stopped using it and went back to my old moisturizer and my skin cleared up in a week. Lesson learned, if it's not broke, don't fix it.

What moisturizer do you use?
September 23, 2009

Pros:

nice smell, improvement in tone,

Cons:

stern beads, made my skin burn, evened my tone but made me breakout completely. had a bunch of white heads and ingrowing painful zits! just horrible. it reversed my healing process and I hate this product! hate is soo much, hope the makers of it die

wouldn't recommend it! screw aveeno, it's expensive and definitely doesn't live up to it's promises! they should discontinue the damn product! my face got so bad I had to see a dermatologist! it doesn't even brighten your skin! waste of money!

Pros:

Good Moisterizer

Cons:

Breaks out my face and cheeks.

I am so happy that I found this review!!! I could not figure out why my face started breaking out over the past couple months. I thought this new Aveno product that I was using was good b/c it felt great. But I too have been getting breakouts all over my cheeks (places I've never broken out at before) and I couldn't figure out what it was. It's really bad now, my skin was clear before. I just thought maybe my hormones were changing. But it all makes sense, it did start happening when I used the Aveno. You guys described exactly what's been going on so I know this is what has been causing the breakouts. I though it was safe for sensitive skin b/c it says non-comedogenic. We should sue! Thanks guys.

Pros:

moisturizes well

Cons:

makes face look EXTREMLEY greasy. like no joke. i used it and my face looked like i rubbed butter all over my face. EXPENSIVE. also, it rolls off. also TESTS ON ANIMALS! =[

its a veryyyy thick moisturizer. i used it at night and i thought it worked considerably well with the moisturizer. BUT the fact that it left my face looking like a grease ball didnt make me wanna buy anymore. ALSOOOO it tests on poor animals!!!!! i didnt know that when i bought it, but afterwards i found out and was all sad. BUY ST. IVES!! they rule. their face washes and scrubs are awesome. plus, st. ives is wayyy cheap. like under 5 bux. aveeno is like over 10. thinkkk about ittt....

I'm liking this so far.
I've been using this for about a month now and I really like it. Despite all the harsh criticism it's receiving on this site, I'm finding that my skin doesn't react adversely to it. I only use it during the day following my morning wash with CeraVe foaming cleanser and the Acne.org Acne Treatment.

Pros:

doesn't break me out
has spf
seems to even out skin tone

Cons:

does appear a little bit shiny
the company sent me a faulty bottle so the pump didn't work

I was really annoyed with the bottle because it wouldn't pump the lotion, but at least the product is okay. Other people seem to have broken out because of it, but it seems fine for me as long as I don't slather too much on.

Pros:

?

Cons:

-reeeeeeeeeally greasy

My only problem with this moisturizer was that it was EXTREMELY greasy. It didn't break me out that much (just a bit), but it was terribly greasy. Whenever I wore it, my face looked like I had dunked it in oil.

burns my skin and dries my face
My dermatologist recommended Aveeno for me. My face has been so dry this week so I decided to use it. I wash my face with Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser both morning and night and some gels that I was prescribed. Neither of that stuff dried my skin out at all. The first two weeks I started using them my skin was getting better.Then, I went outside on a cold night and my skin got dry so I decided to moisturize. Wish I hadn't. The first time I used it, it BURNED my skin even when it wasn't super dry. My face got all red it was a mess. It's been a week and I'm still dry. The whole bottom half of my face is just dry and flaky. I've decided to stop using moisturizer for now and tell my dermatologist to not suggest it to other people. Also, I fell as if it just sits on your face. I had it on for about an hour and scratched my face and the moisturizer was under my nails. SO PLEASE DONT USE THIS PRODUCT.
