Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion Review

This is a moisturiser where you really see a result after the first day.

It’s lovely and creamy with a oat smell and handy pump so you can even use it in a rush.

Over the years its always been reliable and works well on my own skin which isn’t that dry but also well on my husband’s skin which is extremely dry.

Being versatile and family friendly is great for a moisturiser.

Yes, the brand that uses the beautiful Jennifer Aniston to promote their products, and honestly good move Aveeno, because the possibility of having skin that looked half as good as Jennifer Aniston was a strong push for me to purchase this product. Yes I fell for the old ‘use a celebrity to get people to buy your product technique’.

I am a sucker for packaging and frequently will buy something just because of how it looks. Clearly this was not the case with Aveeno Daily Moisturizer, which comes in a white plastic container, with a white and green colour theme. Simple design, and not really aesthetically pleasing, and definitely not a product that supports an impulse cute purchases. However, I love the fact this packaging uses a pump technique to release product. Perfect for those mornings when I’m in a rush (...every morning).

The product, although says fragrance free, does contain a subtle fragrance of oats and I’m not a huge fan of the scent, I find It slightly catches in my throat (but I am very picky with scents) and it does linger on your skin for a while.

The lotion is thick for a lotion, and easily holds it shape. It’s white in colour, with a slight creamy consistency, but nothing overly rich. I find this lotion is hydrating and nourishing, and a little goes a long way. In fact, too much product leaves a sticky residue on my skin, so less is definitely more. With consistent use, I found that my skin remained hydrated for longer, and that i didn’t have to moisturise as often, so yes Aveeno does what it says it will! However, I am also a sucker for products that smell delicious, especially when it comes to body moisturizer, butters, and lotions, so I’m still undecided whether ill be repurchasing this one again!

I recently took the 2 week challenge using the Aveeno cream and OMG my skin is beautifully soft and supple. My hands and feet are so nourished now. I love the pump bottle as it delivers the right amount of cream and how it is unscented, it doesn't interfere with your favorite perfumes. I really did notice the difference in my skin after the first day of using this and it made me want to use it more. You only need to apply it once a day as it does last the full 24 hours and easily absorbed into your skin for fast effectiveness. Excellent for those really rough areas of your body, feet and elbows. For a super market product this gets a big thumbs up in my household. The bottle is quite big so it lasts along time too, an added bonus. It can be quite dare if purchased from a chemist so I wait until it's on sale at countdown or pac N save and buy a few bottles. A great family product.

My Mum adores this moisturiser and she bought it for me as I had no money that week... Using this product made me finally sit up and pay attention to my skin - sensitive and dry. I'm sure for people with normal or oily skin this moisturiser is great but it stung my face as if I was swimming in the sea and I didnt feel all that moisturised. :)

After getting a free sample of this I thought I would give it a go to try and get rid of my dry patchy skin. Well I got the biggest surprise! My skin is softer than it has been since I was a teenager and that to me is a huge thing. My redness has disappeared and I am so much more confident that my dry patches don't look so stand out-ish anymore. I think the design is basic and simple but I like that it has a pump top which assures that there is no wastage. The smell is not really to my liking but I can look past that because of the results I am getting.

I am a dedicated Aveeno convert! I tried Aveeno after struggling to find a moisturising cream that worked - I didn't want something that was greasy or overly scented and would work on my combination skin. A friend introduced me to the Aveeno range and I have never needed another product since. I get quite dry patches on my knees, upper arms and elbows, and with 2 children in nappies, I do a LOT of handwashing so my hands are always suffering. I keep my Aveeno by my bed and apply it after my shower in the evening. It absorbs instantly and leaves my skin feeling amazingly soft and supple. There's no real scent to the product which is fabulous. I prefer the cream to the lotion, simply because I prefer a thicker product, and I actually prefer the tube as I find it easier to get the last little bit out - but either way, this product is amazing. Best of all, it has a wonderful price tag and is great for the whole family.

After about two years of my grandmother raving about this moisturiser i finally gave in and purchased a bottle. My son suffers from bad eczema, and after actually buying this product for myself, I actually decided to use a little on a patch that he had on this knee. The results have honestly been amazing. Before using this, i was actually a moisturise 1-2 times a day kinda gal, due to really dry skin, especially on my arms. But after using this - it is acually a once every two days kinda job for me! My skin is so moisturised and supple, i just love it and wish i had of bought it sooner honestly. I also love the fact that it is non greasy - this in the past has been a huge problem for me. Using it on my sons eczema has also made a huge difference. His skin is no longer scaley and dry and he is not as itchy as when we have used other moisturisers. I love this, and as long as they keep selling it, I will keep buying it.

I got a sample of these a awhile ago and were so completely sold that I had to go and buy a full bottle. This works wonders on my arm and legs which always gets irritant and 'rashy' when they become dry. This really works and feels very natural. It's not oily and gets absorbed in just a few seconds. I do like baby moisturizers but this is among the best moisturizers I've used. The only thing I don't like is it's smell if malt. But u suppose that adds to the all natural thing. Other than the smell I'd definitely buy again.

I have really dry skin on my legs and arms and this is my go to product especially in the summer. It is super moisturising, and it works! It soaks in and doesn't leave a greasy feeling, but it still leaves your skin feeling moisturised. I like that it has no fragrance, so it doesn't compete with my perfumes, but helps them last longer, as perfume lasts more on moisturised skin apparently! I love the price, its so reasonable and available at the supermarket so I can pop it in my food shopping, and no one is any the wiser. I like the pump, so you can hygienically dispense the amount you need and you can get the last drop of it out too. There is nothing bad to say about this product, and I have persuaded my hubby to use it on his dry skin as well, and because it has no fragrance, hes happy to use it.

First of all I must say for anyone other than people with dry skin on their face, I wouldn't use this on my face again. It smells kinda odd and I don't like putting odd smelling things on my face. It's not necessarily a bad smell, just weird. Also it doesn't sink into the skin the way I would want a face moisturizer to do. It leaves a sticky film behind.

On the other end of the spectrum, for a body moisturizer this stuff is SO NICE. If you can get over the smell I honestly think it's such an affordable option. I like to use this on my legs after shaving and then anywhere I have dry patches. Even on my feet! Leave it overnight and you wake up with the softest skin. Also those dry patches pretty much disappear - which is especially good for people who like to use fake tan.
