Last post for today...then I'm off to play some Just Dance. And I'm really going to try not to buy the newest one. I always wait to buy the newest game on Black Friday but that's quite a ways away and I really really want to just buy it right now. But...if I wait I can hopefully save $20 to use on something else. In the meantime...more Aveeno.
Aveeno claims:
Intensely nourish dry skin with prebiotic oat formula. The gentle daily lotion nourishes & helps replenish skin's natural moisture barrier & has clinically proven moisturization that lasts 48 hours.

I'm no stranger to Aveeno. Their marketing kinda worked on me and I always think of them as the Oatmeal brand. They really market the benefits of oats on the skin and I remember very well the oatmeal baths I used to take when I had the chicken pox. They were Aveeno branded. Actually I wonder if they still make it. It was literally just packets of ground oatmeal.
So the oatmeal brand- and it does contain oat flour as do most of their products.
As for moisture- I would say it is actually pretty hydrating and it does feel moisturizing. Looking at the ingredients I'm kinda surprised. It has a lot of glycerin but doesn't feel like most lotions that have a lot of glycerin do. It does a great job of being hydrating without feeling heavy and greasy.
The one thing I really don't like is the smell. It is fragrance free...but it has a smell that I really don't enjoy while I'm putting it on. Maybe it smells like electronics? I don't know exactly what it is but it makes the application unpleasant. Luckily it doesn't stick around but every time I catch a whiff I am put off.
The ingredients aren't the best. I don't love petrolatum, nor do I like my lotions to have dimethicone. The only ingredient I'm ok with is really the Oat Flour.
Ingredients:
Water; Glycerin; Distearyldimonium Chloride; Petrolatum; Isopropyl Palmitate; Cetyl Alcohol; Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour; Benzyl Alcohol; Sodium Chloride
It's not bad. It's really pretty hydrating and nice if you have dry skin while not being greasy or taking forever to absorb. But the ingredients and the scent make it something I won't be repurchasing again.
