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.
