Most Helpful Positive Review Heaven Sent LITERALLY Let me start off by saying I've never done a review ever but I had to do a review. I'm one of those skeptical people that likes to read reviews before I purchase an item. I have REALLY sensitive oily skin and always have. I've tried named brand moisturizers yet I still either break out or have a bad allergic reaction. Just to give you an idea of how sensitive I am: if I spray on anything that has a scent my skin immediately gets red and sometimes even gets hives. A friend recommended me this item after telling her , I was giving up on finding a good moisturizer. My goodness as soon as I applied this one word HEAVEN. I could instantly feel the smoothness sink into my pores. Not to mention it doesn't have a yucky smell just perfect. No break outs and better yet it controls my oil shine. Please do yourself a favor and stop by your nearest store and purchase!!
Most Helpful Critical Review Good Product, Disappointing Packaging I purchased this after seeing it be recommended by many and it seemed like a good quality product to try. Overall, I have trust in Johnson & Johnson products. However the packaging of this moisturizer is awful. Compared to similar moisturizers of the same size, this seems to have double the amount of plastic and is unnecessarily large. When purchasing from a trustworthy company, I expect that the company will also put thought into the packaging and make a decent effect to waste less plastic...which this seems to do the exact opposite. For that reason, I will not repurchase.

It's true when people say that hydrated skin heals faster. I had been using the LRP double repair moisturizer for weeks and I kept getting dry patches. As soon as I started using this gel moisturizer it was like night and day. My skin feels so hydrated, my dry patches are gone, and my skin started to clear up within days! This stuff is great, I will definitely be repurchasing. If your skin type is oily in the summer but more dry in the winter this is a great winter moisturizer!
I love this product, but the packaging is a fail 4
Martha from Los Angeles, CA
I've been using this product for several months now and it has been a great switch for me. I was using the Clinique Dramatically Different Moistruizing Gel before and switched to this to try something more affordable. It has been great. It goes on well, absorbs quickly, and doesn't irritate my acne.
My one gripe is with the packaging. First of all, this is the largest product by counter space but the smallest by volume. Why is the largest size less than 2 oz? And aside from the packaging being big and bulky, why is it in a tub? A vacuum pump would be way more hygenic and easy to use. I currently transfer the product from the tub to a pump, but it's annoying to need to do that myself.
I would buy this product again 5
GZ from Ohio
I'm using this twice a day. It has cleared up my dry patches. I was experiencing burning from another product. This has not irritated my skin.
Really been enjoying! 5
lindsey34 from Kenosha
I have heard about this line before, but I'm always nervous to try new things on my face because of my sensitive skin. I'll get irritations or redness if the formula doesn't agree with me. I have sensitive skin and try to avoid strong scents and harsh products. I bought this oat gel lotion because I'm currently struggling with dry irritated skin. Hearing that the product is for calming and aiding redness I was SO happy! So far so good. The formula is light, blends in very nicely, not oily at all, and leaves my face soft and smooth. There is no fragrance which is a plus for me. I'm really looking forward to using it long term and help balance my complexion. YES, I would repurchase. I plan on buying again to keep on hand. Thank you for creating a line for people who want gentle skincare. Great product! :) Exactly what I need.
Recommend for sure 5
Gg from Las Vegas
I have used the most expensive moisturizers out there, and I gave the trial version of this a chance. I have sensitive and red skin that is also prone to breakouts, and this was great for me! I am big fan of gel moisturizers. This doesn't break me out, and feels not too heavy to wear under or without makeup. I would recommend for sure if you want an affordable moisturizer!
Not happy 2
Aveeno not happy from Warner Robins
When I received my oat gel moisturizer the package came opened. The cover seal to the products container was not closed and looked like a chunk on the moisturizer had been tampered with. I used it and my face feels dry. I usually love this product. When I spend this much money on a product I expect the container to be satisfactory. I'm scared to use it and I'm very disappointed.
Silky Hydration for combo skin 5
Bambi from South Carolina
I am in love with this! the formula is silky and buttery but light. it soaks right in and my skin feels super moisturized without any oiliness. I have acne prone skin and this has definitely helped. I wake up with a natural glow and I notice my skin evening out. its not fragranced but you cqn lightly smell the oat smell but i love it. thank you Dr. Dray for recommending this on her channel! I even use it around my eyes with zero irritation. if you have sensitive or acne prone skin I highly recommend trying this!
Decent, helped reduce my acne 4
Cassie from Richmond, Virginia
I like this moisturizer - I started using it after having issues with thicker creams breaking me out. It doesn't clog my pores, and while I still have issues with hormonal acne, it has helped calm my face down a lot. It's not quite as moisturizing as I'd like, but apparently that's a trade off you have to make with gels. However, I agree with the other reviewer who said that the large size has too much plastic packaging. It's clunky, thick, and not recyclable. It would be nice to see more brands making an effort to be sustainable.
Too Drugstore Moisturizer 4
Jocelyn from Washington
I wish it had SPF otherwise this has probably been the best drugstore moisturizer for my oily skin. Keeps me hydrated but not greasy or gross feeling. Its really hard to find a moisturizer w good ingredients at a drugstore that isn't intimidating. I would recommend for sure.
The best! 5
Andi from Texas
I have acne prone skin and all of the moisturizers that I've used before broke me out. This is the only moisturizer that works for me! So gentle and calming!
Good for sensitive skin 5
Pepper from USA
I have sensitive, combination skin. I can't use anything with fragrance, so was reluctant to try this since most Aveeno products contain some. I apply this after my serums and before my tinted moisturizer and it's perfect. Highly recommend.
Instantly irritated my face 1
Shawla from Los Angeles, Ca
After putting this on it immediately started making my face itch and become irritated. I had to go wash my face again. Definitely not for me and isn't calming that's for sure.
i love 5
bigpapa from hazlet
i love this cleanser especially for winter it keeps your skin so hydrated
What a relief 5
Reina from USA
Love this! (Acne prone and dry skin here) tried this product when I was overwhelmed with u sucedió tried to clear my acne or at least tame it, this moisturizer does the trick!!! Over time my acne would fade but it still there. I'm just thankful it did it job
Great for Irritated Skin 5
Ana K from Las Vegas
My skin has been suffering through this cold weather. I have super dry skin to the point where its super sensitive and sometimes even raw. Every product I used would burn and I just can't leave anything on without washing it right off.
I tried this product since my skin has been so raw and irritated and I'm so happy that it actually worked. I love splurging in high end brands so I was a bit hesitant at first, i'm not going to lie, but I gave in and tried it. Best decision ever! This hydrated my skin all day, usually I can't go all day without my skin feeling tight and dry or my dry patches showing up like crazy but this kept all of that at bay. My dry patches were gone in the matter of a day of using this which is insane to me. Definitely going to keep using this for a LONG time.
Aveeno Cleanser 5
Alie from New Hampshire
I expected a lot less from this product than what I got! The first night I used it I woke up the next morning and my pimples had lost all of their redness and my rosacea on my chicks had gone down at least 70%. The only worry is that It didn't hydrate very well, but if you think a cleanser can fix your dry skin and not serums and a good moisturizers than you know nothing about skin care! I would recommend getting a really hydrating moisturizer to balance this out for the perfect combo. 10/10!
Rebuilt my moisture barrier! 5
rd1214 from Newtown
I am on a prescribed retinol (which is extremely drying) and once these winter months arrived, I was experiencing burning and flaking skin. I got this moisturizer and within 2 or 3 days, my moisture barrier was back. My skin is so nicely moisturized and smooth, and the product also feels amazing on my skin. Love love love this product.
Oily/dry skin 5
Hkl11 from Hamilton ohio
My skin is naturally oily but dry in the winter months and I love this moisturizer for my complicated skin. I'm also prone to acne and this gel doesnt give me acne I love it! I actually love all aveeno products I wish this was sponsored but it's not.

A must have! 5
abby from Canada
I tried this moisturizer as it was recommended by one of the top dermatologists on her vlog and was take by surprise! It is the most hydrating and glide on skin moisturizer. Feels like the skin was replenished with all the good things! Wears beautifully underneath makeup. Does not make your skin oily!
Relief for your skin 5
JennD from CT
I tried this product, along with the facial wash and serum because I started to get extremely dry skin due to the winter weather in my area. The skin on my chin and lower face actually flakes off and becomes extremely itchy. I know Aveeno as a trusted name in skin care and skin irritation relief and it did not disappoint. It is soothing and not sticky. What a relief it is!
Not Fragrance Free 1
Aims from Washington
This has been one of my holy grails for a couple of years. However, the last jar I bought a couple of weeks ago reeks of fragrance. My skin is now reacting to this gel for the first time and is itchy and irritated--exactly as it reacts to fragrance products. I am having to return and find a replacement. This is so wrong and misleading on the part of Aveeno. Don't even get me started. Do not buy this if you are trying to avoid fragrance.
Helps with redness and irritation 5
Brittany from Chicago
I recently started using a 10% benzoyl peroxide cleanser for acne that caused redness, flakiness, and overall irritation to my eyelids and around my eye area. I reached for a sample of this moisturizer, and although it didn't soothe on application, about 5-10 after it immediately started to feel better and less irritated. I usually need to be careful about the products I put around my eyes, but this helped immensely. I also tried it as a basic moisturizer as well and loved that it didn't cause breakouts, hydrated, and overall left my skin feeling better.
Definitely an everyday moisturizer! 5
Angela from West Covina, CA.
So I bought this moisturizer with high hopes after reading all the reviews and let me say I was not disappointed! This moisturizer is so lightweight and makes my skin feel great! Let me also add that your makeup applies so smooth. You need to try it!
Absolutely love 5
Eli from Miami
I love this moisturizer! It makes my face feel hydrated and soft.
