AveenoFace Calm+Restore Rich Oat Moisturising Balm (1x 50ml), 24-Hour Hydration Face Moisturiser with Triple Oat Complex, (packaging may vary)

Moisturises well, though without an oily feel, and eases irritated skin whilst causing no flare ups. Is good as a night cream over other treatments - due to its calming effects, it's a good counter for the irritation which might be caused by retinol/retinal or AHA serums, though I don't use it on nights when my skin felt drier, when I use another, gloopier moisturiser. Used over a serum, however, it does leave a slight, white residue, which takes a moment to rub in/disappear, so I tend to use it on days when I'm not wearing makeup. I've used it once under makeup - and it was fine with no primer, which my skin loathes, though as a base it was quite mattifying. Will definitely be buying more - it's one of those creams I'll reach for first when my skin feels overdone, out of sorts, and generally needing a more pared back, gentle approach.

I really love Aveeno, and I was dying to try this product for my dry patches after reading the ingredients list. I've been using it for only a few days, and it's completely re-hydrated all of the dry patches on my face! I really struggle with dry skin around my eyes and mouth, it can be really painful and makes my makeup look awful. Since using this product, I've had no problems with dry skin. I dab a tiny amount on my problem areas after using a serum, so a little goes a long way and is really effective. I can see this lasting me a long time.One thing I especially love about Aveeno is that the products are formulated for dry, sensitive skin, so there's no fragrance, which can be really irritating. I've really found the products with oats in to be really effective.

Nice cream but not for me, I found it left a slightly white residue on my skin and needed to be rubbed in again. It was good on legs etc. no problems with irritation and once soaked in makeup went on top fine.

Perfect

I have extremely sensitive skin that's both oily and dry (combination), and this product works really well for me. It keeps my skin hydrated all day. However be careful with how much you use. If you apply too much it can cause breakouts or make your skin feel too greasy. Sometimes it feels a bit too moisturising for me, especially in humid weather. I'd say it's perfect during dry weather, but when it's more humid a toner alone is usually enough.

I recently started using the Aveeno Face CALM+RESTORE Oat Rich Balm after having a lot of breakouts on my nose, following using a rather abrasive retinol cream. This it has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. Here’s why I highly recommend it:Deep Moisturization: This balm provides exceptional hydration for my very dry and irritated skin. From the first application, I noticed a significant improvement in the softness and smoothness of my skin. It penetrates deeply, delivering long-lasting moisture without leaving a greasy residue. I literally noticed the difference after one use (at nighttime)Soothing Formula: The inclusion of oat extract is a game-changer for soothing irritation and redness. My skin feels calmer and less inflamed after each use, which is particularly beneficial during harsh weather conditions or after using other skincare products that can be irritating.Rich and Creamy Texture: The texture of the balm is rich and creamy, making it feel luxurious and nourishing. It spreads easily over the skin, and a little goes a long way. I appreciate that it absorbs well, providing immediate relief and hydration.Gentle and Safe: As someone with sensitive skin, I’m always cautious about new skincare products. This balm is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and non-comedogenic, making it safe for my reactive skin. I’ve experienced no breakouts or adverse reactions since I started using it.Scent: While the product is designed to be fragrance-free, it has a very mild, natural scent from the ingredients. the oat maybe ... It’s not unpleasant, but it’s worth noting for those who are extremely sensitive to any kind of smell. Personally, I find it barely noticeable and not a deterrent from using the product.Value for Money: The Aveeno Face CALM+RESTORE Oat Rich Balm comes in a generous size for a face balm, and because you need only a small amount per application, it lasts a long time. This makes it a great value for the quality and effectiveness of the product.Overall Experience: I am extremely satisfied with the Aveeno Face CALM+RESTORE Oat Rich Balm. It has made a noticeable difference in the hydration and comfort of my skin, effectively addressing dryness and irritation. If you have very dry, sensitive, or irritated skin, I highly recommend giving this balm a try.Rating: ★★★★★

Use everyday as part of morning routine since discovered. Super soft, cooling, soothing oat cream for my face and I love it. It is non greasy, a little goes a long way and it's super hydrating. Wish the tube was bigger, but guess I'll just get another. I have extremely sensitive skin and this product is so effective! Highly recommended. Great handy size for travelling/handbag also which is great!

Love this moisturiser but it takes absolutely ages for me to get this worked into my skin. It stays pretty pale for at least 40 seconds to a minute before it absorbs into my skin which it’s a bit of a chore.
