Aveeno Daily Moisturizer Body Lotion, Fragrance Free

My wife used to spend a small fortune buying facial moisturizers & night creams, but on a whim she decided to try this product out as a replacement, in an effort to cut corners & save some money in this tough economy. She thought it couldn’t hurt to try it, since it’s fragrance free & won’t clog pores, & has such great reviews. Wow, did we ever hit the jackpot, with this product! It is BETTER than the expensive moisturizers she’d been buying, & less expensive too…for more than 10 times the amount! It’s a fantastic moisturizer…great for winter time & dry skin, & also perfect for sensitive skin! My wife has really sensitive skin & reacts badly to a lot of the lotions & creams that she’s tried in the past…but this one calms her skin, as opposed to irritating it, so she loves it! She says it’s great to use after shaving too.

As for dry skin: My hands get really dry & rough from work, & also from using harsh soaps throughout the day, & this moisturizer has made such a difference for me. It has multiple uses… My wife says it works great as a primer too, under make-up, & you don’t need to use a lot of it…it lasts a really long time, even with the both of us using it for various reasons. They have another kind that has SPF protection, (this one doesn’t have it, but they do offer the exact same product with spf protection, for a slight increase in the cost). Also, my wife says that when she used this lotion as a primer, she discovered by accident that it worked amazingly well to moisturize her lips, too…better than any kind of chap stick!

I’ve read some reviews that complain about the waxy feel that the lotion leaves on your skin. Well, it’s not exactly greasy at all, & it really does absorb into the skin very well…plus no fragrance that we can detect, & it leaves your skin feeling soft & moisturized for a really long time. It does, however, leave a slight waxy texture on your skin…not something that you can see, at all. Just that you can feel it…& it sort of just makes your skin feel extra hydrated, like it has a shield of moisture on it…which is what it’s supposed to do anyway, so I can’t really fault it for that! It’s not even something to complain about really, it’s just that I thought I’d address it since it was brought up in previous reviews, & I did notice the slight waxy texture, as well. No big deal though, & honestly this is the BEST, most versatile lotion that my wife & I have ever come across! I will keep buying it, as long as they keep making it!

Whenever I’m going to a doctor’s office or to any place where people who might be sensitive to fragrances may be (like around cancer patients going through treatment), I seek to use products that are fragrance-free like this lotion. I also like the Aveeno lotion with Ylang-Ylang, but for now let’s talk about the scent-free version.

It glides on smoothly, and is softening, not sticky. For me, a good test of the balance of emolliency is whether you can ready snap your fingers and hear the sound after you’re done putting on lotion. If you can’t, the texture is too greasy, oily, or thick. With this lotion, the “snap test” works successfully. That allows my skin to feel moisturized while not clogged with too much product.

The reason for taking off a star is that as it gets toward the end of the bottle it tends to become thickened to the point where it just wants to stick to itself, and not readily dispense from the bottle. I’ve tried the trick of loosening the lid with the pump, striking the bottle on the counter to force some consolidation of the contents to be able to get more to flow out. That sort-of works for a while.

It seems to end up with several inches of lotion sticking to the container, instead of dispensing. I’m now storing the end of the last bottle upside down in hopes of being able to use more of the lotion before its time to move on to the new one.

Overall, this performs like a good quality lotion at a reasonable price.

I love this lotion. I’ve been on the hunt for body moisturizer that actually works and so I’ve spent quite a pretty penny on fancy brands. Turns out I’ll never do that again. This is perfect. It feels moisturizing without being too sticky or heavy. I also realized that my perfume smells much stronger now that it doesn’t have to compete with fragrance from moisturizers.

It’s perfect for my sensitive skin, as it’s fragrance-free and doesn’t cause any irritation.

Aveeno Daiky Moisturizing Lotion is hands down the best, it’s goes on non greasy and absorbs well, skin stays soft and hydrated all day

I’ve tried many body moisturisers and when I say many I’m not exaggerating but only aveeno soothes dry skin, I even use it on my face if that feeling drier than normal and my facial moisturiser needs a little va va voom!!
