AveenoSkin Relief Moisturising Lotion, With Soothing Triple Oat Complex & Shea Butter, Suitable For Sensitive Skin, 72-Hour Intense Hydration, Helps Relieve Very Dry and Tight Skin, Unscented, 500ml

This is an exceptional product that delivers everything it promises, particularly for those of us with sensitive skin. I have very sensitive skin that's dry and prone to redness, and this lotion provides soothing relief and nourishment without any irritation.The lightweight formula absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling soft and hydrated without a greasy residue, which is something I cannot stand! I particularly enjoy the fact it has no strong, cloying fragrance.The addition of colloidal oatmeal ensures deep moisturization, making it a fantastic choice for very dry skin, and it's the only product which actually works when my skin is overly reactive/irritated and flaky. Unlike other moisturizer's, this never stings or makes my skin more sensitive.Overall, a top-tier product that combines effectiveness and gentleness. My only true issue is, frankly, it's very expensive for the amount you get. However, I've never found anywhere else that does it cheaper than Amazon regularly, nor have I found another lotion with collodial oatmeal which works as well.

So some people say their pump is broke, and at first I thought mine was too! It's not.There's the pump part you press down, and there's a ridged bit just below with an arrow on it. Twist the ridged bit in the direction of the arrow until it won't twist any more, and then twist the pump part itself in the same direction a little, and voila, press down a few times and the product should dispense. Twist ridged bit back the other way to "lock" the pump and prevent accidentally dispensing product.Onto the lotion itself; a few months ago I ordered a smaller 200ml tube version to try out and before that even ran out I ordered the 500ml bottle; my review will talk about both and I'll note any differences between the 2.MY SKIN; I have dermatillomania, which is a compulsive skin-picking disorder. You know you shouldn't pick, but you can't help it, even if it hurts, bleeds or looks unsightly. Anywho. I'm terrible for picking at my fingers and my face; any rough, dry, dead skin, any spot or cut scab, ANY "imperfection" as my brain sees it, and I'll pick. I bought this as I've tried various other things, and I know my sister uses this on her son for eczema. I want to keep my skin as moisturised as possible to try and reduce my skin-picking.SCENT; I love scented lotions and potions, but understand sometimes fragrance irritates skin. The 500ml bottle is truly scentless, but the 200ml tube DOES have a very slight scent, nothing nasty (actually kinda soothing), I put it down to the oat and shea content.APPLICATION (hands); despite being a little thick, I find it applies and smoothes out nicely, and while it absorbs well I find it leaves a tiny bit behind, not exactly sticky or like a film, and not even enough that it'll smear/mark your phone screen whilst tapping on it. It's hard to describe, but I do feel SOMETHING for a short while after. Having said this, I do use a little extra because I want to ensure there's enough available for my skin to absorb and the feeling doesn't bother me.FACE; I used the 200ml tube on my face as I found my usual favorite face moisturiser (ELF's Holy Hydration cream) was struggling to keep me moisturised since Christmas. I have dry skin thanks to a prescription of Adapalene/Differin retinoid as a teen to treat acne and oily skin, though my T-Zone can get a little oily still. I've tried various brands, ones targeted at spots, at exfoliation, even ones that claim they won't mess with your skin because they contain only what's needed but still broke me out (looking at you, Simple...). None really worked; either they did nothing to my skin or they made it worse and broke me outor made me dry or even gave me a dermatitis reaction. Took me a long time to find Elf's HH stuff, and they really DON'T break me out. I thought perhaps using this Aveeno miiight break me out a bit, with it being a little thicker and mainly for body use. It. Doesn't.Ohmygoodness.This doesn't break me out at all.It doesn't mess with my other moisturisers, my spot-dabbing stuff, my makeup. It makes my skin look a little matte after application and absorption, which can be a plus for some but not for others. My skin feels soothed, comforted, not tight or itchy or irritated. No stinging, even on open spots or sores or cuts. I don't run it in too hard, I just very gently smooth it over the skin, and sometimes pat afterwards too. In the start I actually mixed it with my normal moisturiser and they don't pill/ball up or anything.I will say that I don't use it every single day as I probably should, but I'm going to try now I have the big bottle, and if I need to I'll update my review. Hopefully I won't need to as it's already long enough :/ sorry!Photos are the 2 types I got; 1st purchase was the 200ml tube, then the 500ml bottle, and also the condition of my fingers. Not perfect but no open wounds or flakes! Short nails because I'm having them done soon. 2nd photo is a month or so after using Aveeno; having healthy skin around the nails helps keep nails healthy and I have only an old scab or two. 3rd photo is from a couple of months ago before I started using the Aveeno; cuts where I'd picked and they'd bled and scabbed etc.

I cannot believe how moisturised my skin is after using this cream. I have struggled with dry skin and this is the best one I’ve used ever. Amazing product, recommend.

Great value for money moisturises skin have used better before but value for money on this one is fantastic

I have used this before .Its v nourishing and richIt instantly makes dry skin feel betterIt absorbs very easily, it is not greasyWould recommend to anyone with v dry skin

Beautiful stuff. Leaves skin feeling amazingly soft until the next shower.

Improves dry skin, little goes a long way. New for me, works well.

I’m a big fan of the Aveeno range of skin care products. I like the easy to use dispenser which squirts just the right amount and leaves the container clean and grease free. It has a very light fragrance. It’s not overpowering like some. Best of all, it actually works. The cream is absorbed easily and leaves the skin feeling smooth and non greasy. It’s ideal for all body use. Great for keeping dry hands smooth and the skin supple. It’s also good for skin on the heels if it tends to crack. It’s economical. Using daily, a bottle lasts me some months and I can’t fault it.
