Aveeno Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat Sensitive Skin Cleanser, 7.8 fl. oz

First off I gotta say I love the Aveeno brand I have and use alot of their stuff for skin and hair and love almost everything I try from them including this new cleanser! I have dry sensitive skin and I think its becoming more sensitive as I age. I was using a cleanser for sensitive skin I used many times before and all of a sudden it became a problem so I had to switch and I discovered this beauty. I been using it over a month (wanted to make sure I had no issues before reviewing) and I have had nothing but good experiences with this cleanser. I love the packaging with the pump bottle and the pump works and still works today. The cleanser is nice and gentle and goes on smoothly and rinses off clean and easy. This doesn't burn or irritate my skin at all amd when I ... MoreFirst off I gotta say I love the Aveeno brand I have and use alot of their stuff for skin and hair and love almost everything I try from them including this new cleanser!

This doesn't burn or irritate my skin at all amd when I remove the cleanser my fave feels fresh, clean, and hydrated and looks soft, clean, plump, and hydrated. This is the perfect gentle cleanser for my dry sensitive skin and is affordable too. My next step is getting the refillable package to refill my bottle which is also a wonderful perk to this cleanser. If u have my skin type then I highly recommend giving this a shot!

Best as a light shower gel

I tested out the cleansing efficacy with some basic products: sunscreen and foundation. To start, I applied on my hands a moderately-moisturizing mineral sunscreen for sensitive skin. Following Aveeno's instructions to use slightly warm water, I did two ample rounds of massaging in and rinsing the cleanser. Afterwards, my hands looked and felt like almost none of the sunscreen had been removed.I tried out the cleanser on my face where I had put on a few layers of lightweight, non-waterproof make-up. The cleanser didn't do anything to remove the make-up. I used some other products which did the job.Next, I used the cleanser in the shower. On my body, I had some residual sunscreen that had been diluted with a light baby lotion upon application from a couple of ... MoreI tested out the cleansing efficacy with some basic products: sunscreen and foundation.

The cleanser didn't do anything to remove the make-up. I used some other products which did the job.Next, I used the cleanser in the shower. On my body, I had some residual sunscreen that had been diluted with a light baby lotion upon application from a couple of days ago. The same sunscreen was applied undiluted, but very lightly, in patches on my face before the shower.The cleanser hardly did anything to remove even the residual sunscreen from my body. Same for the face. There was almost but not quite an exfoliating effect, resulting in some rougher / raised skin. This may be a result of this very mild cleanser trying to counteract the bit of sunscreen clinging to the skin's surface.Lastly, I used the cleanser as the second step to a double-cleanse. I'm not sure how well it worked as a cleanser, but I noticed the thick consistency made it hard to wash off. I needed to wipe off the product while rinsing, otherwise it would remain on the skin.My verdict is that this is a truly mild cleanser best used in the shower for gently rinsing off natural body oils and sweat after waking or routine exercising. The force from a shower's downpour may be necessary for a proper rinse. On the plus side, it's a satisfyingly thick goop that coats the skin well. There's basically no exfoliation and there are no irritating actives.It might be worth checking out if you have highly sensitive skin or if you're looking for an everyday, gentle-yet-indulgent shower experience.

Clean, Fresh, and Calm

As long as I can remember Aveeno has been in my home. From multiple types of lotion, I like the Creamy Oil for my everyday hand and body lotion, my hubby likes the Restorative cream for his hands, and youll find the original sensitive skin in the bathroom for after hand washing, and lets not forget my shaving cream! Never a far trip to find something Aveeno.That being said I had actually never tried any of their facial skincare products, Im not sure why really, so needless to say when Butterly and Aveeno gifted me the new Aveeno Calm + Restore facial cleanser and refill pouch I was thrilled!I absolutely love trying new skincare from all different price points and the Aveeno Calm + Restore did not disappoint.

Featuring Aveenos signature oat complex alongside feverfew, this cleanser is gentle and effective.The pump bottle makes distribution quick, easy, and mess free. The texture is that of a slightly thick gel moisturizer with an excellent slip. It glides along your skin with ease, effectively cleansing the grime of the day off the skin for a clean and refreshed feeling. It does not strip the skin, or leave it feeling tight at all, and there is no residue left over by the cleanser.I have been using the cleanser since receiving it a couple of weeks ago and my skin has not negatively reacted to the switch at all, it feels soft to the touch, hydrated, and clean.If you are looking for a gentle, yet effective cleanser you wont go wrong with the new Aveeno Calm + Restore facial cleanser.

Great cleanser for sensitive skin

Here's the thing...it's not a cleanser

Here's the thing...I love Aveeno products but this is NOT a cleanser. For anyone who wears makeup, if you go straight in to wash a made up face with this product, it will appear as if you washed everything off and your face is clean and moisturized...BUT IT'S 100% NOT CLEAN! I purposely tested this. I do not wear heavy makeup but I do wear a small bit of a light, water based foundation and eye liner. I cleaned my face with Aveeno Calm and Restore and dried it. My skin looked clean and the eye liner was gone. I went back in with my regular organic cleanser and literally ALL of the foundation I thought was off, came off with my second cleanser. Idk if there is too much glycerin in the Calm & Restore cleanser or what but it basically causes makeup to stay put! ... MoreHere's the thing...I love Aveeno products but this is NOT a cleanser.

Idk if there is too much glycerin in the Calm & Restore cleanser or what but it basically causes makeup to stay put! (Thinking out loud...why is glycerin the 2nd ingredient anyway?! Glycerin isn't a cleansing agent! Hello Chemists!) I fully recommend first using a makeup remover towel or another cleanser before using the calm and restore "cleanser" for those who wear makeup. Otherwise you'll be walking around w/ a dirty face and suffer skin issues later. Test my comments for yourself! Try having on makeup then go straight in to wash with this Aveeno product. Then follow w/ a normal cleanser to see the truth. That said, using Aveeno calm and restore as the SECOND cleanser does help moisture stay in skin.

Hydrated and plumpy skin

AVEENO® Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat Facial CleanserI got this hair remover cream from @aveenoca @thisisbutterly and @chickadvisor . I provide honest opinion after testing it. I am at my beginning of 30s, I acknowledged that I need to have a different skincare routine. My skin produce less oil than just year before and sometimes feel dehydrated and dryness or itchness on face. I am still on the journey of finding right products for myself. One skincare product I rarely change is face cleanser. Having a combination skin type, i tend to have strong cleaning cleanser and rehydrated with following steps. When i got the chance to try out AVEENO® Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat Facial Cleanser, I am super happy.

When i got the chance to try out AVEENO® Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat Facial Cleanser, I am super happy. I am a long time lover of the gel moisturizer from AVEENO® Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat line. I testes out and found i can use it all seasons. Sometime i have different product for different seasons and weathers. Same idea with AVEENO® Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat Facial Cleanser. It can be use all year around. AVEENO® Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat Facial Cleanser is a milky cleanser. It cleanse without strip away water under the skin - with ingredients like chrysanthemum Parthenium (Feverfew) Flower/Leaf/Stem Juice also called hero ingredients. It can also calm the skin down because it contains oat. Oat has been recommend to people with sensitive and reactive skin type of people. As far as i know, people with sensitive skin type were told to do oat bath when the skin react like crazy. As a sensitive or you can say lost skin barrier person, i have to say it does help. It does help and make things easier. With a cleanser that doesnt strip water away from face, following skin care products can be absorbed into deep layer of the skin. This feels great! I have no itchiness or redness. And most important, i have plumpy skin like in my 20s. Thank you @aveenoca @thisisbutterly and @chickadvisor for letting me testing out this product!******#aveenocalmrestore #calmandrestore #aveenosentitiveskin #sentitiveskin

INFORMED Review

First and foremost, this is a great cleanser for those who have sensitive or dry skin. I do NOT recommend this for those with oily skin, as this is more likely to cause clogged pores and breakouts.Years ago, I went from Oily to Dry skin because of a particular oral acne treatment (for some reason Ulta's filter doesn't like the name of it, but it starts with an A and is meant for severe, persistent acne.) This product IS a good cleanser if you are PROPERLY removing makeup beforehand. If I've been wearing makeup, I usually go in with a verified, natural, non-comedogenic oil to dissolve it first and then go in with a cleanser and a toner after (not using a cotton pad because that actually wastes it and toner is best applied by patting onto the skin rather than ... MoreFirst and foremost, this is a great cleanser for those who have sensitive or dry skin.

It does still cleanse your skin, which is why it's either the 1st or 2nd ingredient in most soaps/cleansers.I've noticed several reviews that have made statements that are false, and want to make sure that individuals know that this is a decent cleanser and may work for them depending on their skin type.

Must have for sensitive skin

I received this product from butterly in exchange for my honest review !!l've been using this cleanser daily for the past couple of days and let me tell you, it has quickly become my absolute favorite!It has gel-like texture which glides smoothly onto the skin, leaving it feeling clean, smooth, and oh-so hydrated. My skin doesn't feel stripped or dry at all, which is a major win for me because its hard to find a cleanser that works on my sensitive skin..For those makeup days, I double cleanse to make sure every bit of product is fully removed. And let me tell you, this cleanser is my saving grace. It's so gentle on my skin, even on those sensitive areas!Plus, it's a total game-changer when it comes to ingredients.

Sensitive skin? Try this cleanser.

*I received this Aveeno product for free from the Butterly company and Aveeno in exchange for my unbiased review. Thank you!*Seeing as I'm not getting any younger and my skin isn't magically rejuvenating, I jumped on the opportunity to try this Aveeno product for free through Butterly. My skin is typically combinaison (oily in T zone), but I get really dry in the winter. It can also be sensitive to some products (redness, rash, bumps, itching).

The packaging claims it "[g]ently cleanses + hydrates to preserve skin's moisture barrier". In my experience, the lightweight gel/lotion-type texture was really easy to apply and rinse off, not sticky, didn't leave any residue behind, didn't cause any bad reaction, and left my skin fresh, soft, and soothed. After rinsing my face and patting it dry, I let my face air dry a bit more, and then apply my moisturizer. I think it's an excellent cleanser, but I don't think someone should use it and expect it to act as a moisturizer, it's a cleanser. But it's quite pleasant to leave your skin just as-is afterwards if you're in a rush or don't use moisturizers.Aveeno also chose to create an awesome super easy to use refill pouch! It says it offers 80% savings in plastic! So you buy these 2 products and you have enough for 3 bottles' worth of cleanser, and reducing the amount of wasted plastic by 1.8 bottles.Overall, I'm very happy to have had the chance to try this out and to share my experience with you.

Works great for sensitive skin

@thisisbutterly send me the #complimentary Aveeno Calm + Restore nourishing oat cleanser for a honest review. This particular Aveeno line is one I am already familiar with and use in my everyday skincare routine like the moisturizer, itch relict balm, and body wash. The calm + restore collection cleanses and hydrates skin while helping to preserve and strengthen your skins moisture barrier. I also appreciate that this line is dermatologist-recommended and tested on sensitive skin without use of any fragrances, parabens and sulfates.The cleanser is one product Ive been wanting to try out for a while now and here are my thought.
