Most Helpful Positive Review Making my face super smooth! I bought this because I've read soy can really make a difference if you have dis coloration. And the fact this says "sheer" caught my eye. I cannot say how VERY OILY SKIN MY SKIN IS AND THAT I'VE GOT SOME SUN DAMAGE FROM TANNING BEDS. I'M HAPPY WITH MY 1ST APPLICATION:)) My face is soooo smooth from using the positively Radiant face wash and this Aveeno sheer with SPF. Totally impressed with the texture and excited to see the blurring effect on my dark spots. I don't expect perfection, but this is pretty awesome so far! I think I'm going to try the body lotion too.
Most Helpful Critical Review So sad to say that I'm disappointed... I have used the Aveeno Positively Radiant moisturizer for years now and loved it. After my most recent purchase, I noticed it has changed... more SPF, (good!) but a smaller container. (meh...) I figured it would still be just as great, if not better... but NOPE! Oh my goodness, my eyes are burning! I didn't even apply too close to my eyes, but they are stinging and so sore. I'm so disappointed! I'm so sad this is happening, especially after they also discontinued their CC cream, that I also loved. Why so many changes, Aveeno? :( And not good ones. I'm so sad... and missing two very great products.

BURNSSSS!!! BEWARE!!!! 1
Gracie6 from Houston
I bought this two months ago and since covid don't wear much. The handful of times I've worn this its broke out my face in hives. I finally found out it was this product because i put some one at the beach and within the hour my face broke out in a itchy red rash.
Lighter Than Original Formula 4
MissMV from Orange County
Definitely a lighter texture than the original but still has some shine due to the mica ingredient. Not sheer enough for oily skin and maybe even combo skin but would work great on dry skin if you're not sensitive to chemical sunscreen (as opposed to physical). So far the product has not given me irritation or blemishes.
Broke me out and damaged my skin 1
Cynthia from Tyler, TX
So I feel like I should start off by saying my skin isn't that sensitive. I've never had a bad reaction on my face and I've used tons of products before. I bought this because I wanted to incorporate a SPF to my skin care routine. This made my cheeks bright red and bumpy. I used for less than a week and by the end of the week my skin was bright red and full of pimples. My mom even made the comment that my pores looked huge and my skin looked like the outside of a peanut. I stopped using and it's been over a week and my skin is finally calming down. I feel like it burned my skin because any time I put any of my usual products on my face, my skin burns. I regret buying this so much. Don't waste your money!
So dry 1
Destiny from League city
My skin is so dry after just three uses it looks at though I have eczema all over my face, it is now pealing. I also noticed the lotion actually burns my skin.
Proceed with caution 1
Minty from Rochester, NY
As I near 30 I decided it's time to dedicate to a skin care routine so I picked up a few products to do so this being one. At first I loved how light weight the moisture was but then as I noticed while blending it in it beaded up a little, I just figure I used much and it wasn't rubbing all the way in. The next day I woke up with my face being red and didn't think anything of it, just figured my face was drying out from wearing a mask all the time. Continued to use the product a few time till last night.... I applied the product after a shower and watched my face transform immediately in the mirror. It instantly started to burn feel tight and become red and blochy. I instantly washed the product off but it made no difference :( 24 hours later my face is definitely chemical burned with hives and slightly swollen. It's right itchy and on fire and my beautiful skin i only tried to maintain is taken over in this "rash" DEVASTATED & DEPRESSED to say the least. My poor face.
Best Moisturizer Ever! 5
Mat from Chino, Ca
15 out 10 ! Been using it for a couple of weeks now and it makes your skin look healthy and I don't have the need to wear any make up. Yeah it's that good 💙
Scent is way too strong 1
Cath from Bellaire
I have been using Aveeno daily moisturizer with sunscreen for a long time, but I just opened a new bottle and has a very strong smell. I'm not sure if I accidentally bought a different version, but I'm going to have to throw this away. It is the positively radiant sheer daily moisturizer sunscreen with SPF 30. It smells horrible. Did something change or did I just buy the wrong Aveeno product?

Kim from Indio, CA
I've been using this product without makeup, and I've gotten compliments on my skin looking "healthy". I have sensitive skin and get a little anxious about trying new product, but I will def. keep this on my daily routine.
Breaking out and burning eyes 1
Frannie from Oshawa, Ontario
Love Aveeno products and faithfully use their body and facial care lines. Tried this moisturizer instead of my trusted Clear Complexion moisturizer due to the added sunscreen protection and eyes immediately burned (avoided eye area but when blending makeup there's no way to not absorb into the makeup). Within days broke out in both acne and a cyst in the middle of my face:so painful, embarrassing and difficult to camouflage. Tried their website to write in my concern but it won't allow me to send (even after abbreviating character length). Calling and spending my work time tied up on this isn't feasible.
What happened after years of using now giving me d 1
Jome from Rockville
After probably using this product for a decade my last bottle which I started using two weeks ago has giving me a very flaky dry skin at first I didn't relate it back to the product because it's a product I've been using for many years but after thinking about it the dry skin started after I open my new bottle I guess I have to go search for a new moisturizer after reading the reviews i've noticed the more recent reviews mentioned the exact same issue Aveeno what happened
Strong Detergent Smell, headache lasted all day 1
jess061 from undisclosed
I bought this yesterday. The smell is very strong and gave me a headache. Wished the product was fragrance-free. There is slight pilling when used.
Great Product but the pump needs work 3
Pump issues Good Product from San Antonio
Love aveeno moisterizer & sun protection, but they really have to work on the pump that they use. It wotk maybe for a few days and after it get stuck no good. When you are paying so much money and it is Aveeno expected more. Aveeno please fix the issue. It happen with all of them moisturizer that have this pump I had tried the other one too.
Fingers crossed for reformation with safe spf 3
Sarah C from Indianapolis
This has been my exclusive facial moisturizer and sunscreen during the day for over 10 years. I'm torn due to the hormone- disrupting SPF ingredients and I've decided to stop using it. I've since tried over half a dozen other sunscreens and none of them are as comfortable, easy to use, or provide the long- lasting moisture this does. Fingers crossed the formula is changed to replace the hormone disrupting SPF ingredients with less harmful ones (and maybe reef safe would be nice too)
Caused reactions 1
Ilana from San Antonio, Tx
I bought this a couple weeks ago to combat dry winter skin. First time I put it on, it stung, but I figured my face was just super dry. Well...my face became drier, my cheeks developed a rash, and other areas of my face broke out. I'm sad because I trusted Aveeno to be a good brand, but I can't continue using this.
Burning peeling patches 1
Bummed2222 from undisclosed
Less than a week of using this product and after a burning feeling after application, it has left my face with red, peeling patches. The skin on my face looks terrible! Not sure if it is supposed to do that or why it occurred.
Made my skin more dry! 1
Mlg5 from Minneapolis
I typically don't wear a daily lotion. This winter I decided to try this daily moisturizer mainly for the SPF. After nearly daily use for a month, I have dry, flaky patches that I've never had before around my nose and on my cheeks.
It's just ok 2
Liz from El Paso, Texas
this was just ok for me. I felt like it left an oily texture to my skin, but I'm already oily so it felt too oily. my face would sometimes look like an oil slick. just not for me, will not be repurchasing.
Triggers a headache! 2
JAKA from WA state
I have used Aveeno positively radiant moistureizers for a number of years and all was well until my recent purchase of the sheer daily moisturizer, with SPF 30. My previous bottle was the daily moisturizer with SPF 15, which has a slight fragrance, but not overpowering... The new bottle of "sheer daily moisturizer" , is more highly fragranced and caused instant problems for me! Not only did my eyes burn, but I developed a headache that remained all day, even after washing the product off my face. There is no way I can continue to use this product. My dilemma now is trying to figure out if this overbundance of fragrance is only associated with the "sheer" version of the product or has been added to all of the positively radiant line. I hope this was not seen as an "improvement" to the moisturizers. This was a perfectly fine product up until recently.
Made my face too shiny 1
RBinNH from undisclosed
I accidentally grabbed this instead of the Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF 30, which I've used for years. This "sheer" version made my face way too greasy/shiny! It was awful! I'm going back to the Daily Moisturizer; please don't stop making it!
Didn't expect... 5
Ericka from Arizona
I did not at all expect to like this. I bought it and immediately regretted it...then I used it...and I used it again, and again and after 3 weeks of daily use I don't know if I would ever use anything else. I have tried every single sunscreen skin care moisturizer I'm talking high end, drug store, Organic, everything and this is the only one so far that has not broken me out or dried out my skin. It's gorgeous and has helped even my conplexion and protect from sun damage. I love this product and cannot say enough good about it. I have extremely sensitive dry acne prone skin and this is the best sunscreen I've ever used.

Love this product 4
Nolegirl from St. Petersburg
I love this product but an so disappointed that the tinted daily moisturizer isn't available anymore!
On my 3rd bottle 5
Kate from Michigan
My dermatologist recommended the positively radiant line and I haven't had a problem with any of the products. love that this is sheer and doesn't feel heavy or leave my skin feeling oily.
What happened to the tinted moisturizer?!? 1
Aveenomore from Atlanta
I have used the tinted moisturizer for years and now will have to look for a similar product elsewhere. This was a great product and also very popular. Good job Aveeno sending your customers to other companies.
