AveenoFace Calm+Restore Rich Oat Moisturising Balm (1x 50ml), 24-Hour Hydration Face Moisturiser with Triple Oat Complex, Face Care Soothes and Hydrates Irritated, Very Dry, and Sensitive Skin

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: ★★★★★

Just love this whole calm and restore range it's so gentle on ur skin and soothing something I deffo need wen I'm starting off or going up a strength with my tretinoin moisturises lovely and calms my skin

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.

I bought these after trying the night cream. The serum is really drenching but easily absorbed. The rich balm is a good barrier cream

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.

This is an excellent product, but sadly not for me. I wanted RICH , repeat rich face cream. And I DO NOT mind my face looking healthy and shiny. I don’t want my face cream to absorb and my skin to look, in my opinion, dry. This so called ultra rich cream does exactly that: it absorbs quickly into the skin. It’s Value for money alright. I shall be using it elsewhere on my body.

I like Aveeno products as they are good quality and value for money. However I do find this balm a little greasy on my face which puts me off. I thought it would be more like a gel and disappear into the skin but it leaves quite a residue.

Reasonably priced moisturiser. Would recommend the emollient moisturiser rather than this one. Feels and works much better on dry skin.
