Daily Moisturizing Lotion
This moisturiser is a big improvement on the previous formulation from a couple of years back. This one's effect actually lasts, even after exercise or a hot shower. It feels oily at first, but rubs in really well and the oiliness disappears quickly without leaving any shine. You don't need to use very much, so the bottle will last ages, which is probably great for a general moisturiser that everyone can use. A great straightforward moisturiser that does what it says it will.

Ultra Calming SPF30
This moisturiser has a really smooth texture that blends in even better than the Daily version. Again you don't need to use very much at all, and the (very slight) oiliness disappears quickly as you apply it. The biggest plus about this one is the high SPF without any noticeable texture thickening or shine or difficulty in blending you usually see with SPF moisturisers. I can't really speak about any calming effects, since my skin doesn't need calming or de-reddening. But I'd recommend this as a daily moisturiser even more than the Daily version, with NZ's harsh high-UV days.

The Daily Moisturising lotion is fantastic! It soaks into the skin and keeps it feeling moisturised and looking smooth all day.

The Ultra Calming moisturiser was really soothing and my makeup also applied really nicely on top of it!

The face moisturiser is really lovely as it sort of glides onto your skin. The body moisturiser is great with the big pump bottle as I can leave on a shelf and pump it as I go past. I mostly use it for my hands but I'm sure it will go great on my legs too. I have never used a non-fragranced body lotion before though and it wasn't too bad. I was expecting a hospital smell but it was quite nice and neutral.

The Aveeno body moisturizer was really good, I havent used Aveeno products before and was very impressed. I usually put moisturizer on my hands constantly and only had to apply the Aveeno moisturizer once! I like that i'ts not too fragrant, and rubs in easily. I applied the moisturizer once and still feel moisturized at the end of the day.

The SPF face moisturizer was a little too oily for my skin, but other than that it felt calming and didnt make my skin break out.

I really love the Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer. After using it for over 3 days on my face and neck area it is already softer and looks so much better. I like the fact that it is fragrance-free. I have been using the Daily Moisturising Lotion which has helped relieve dry skin problems and I love the fact it is non-greasy. I have really enjoyed using the Aveeno products.

Thanks Maree.

When I tried Aveeno, I was suffering from a rotten cold - my skin was dry and generally felt undernourished. It was a true test for the Aveeno products.

The first one I tried was Aveeno Ultra-calming daily moisturiser which is aimed at reducing the redness in the skin. My face is usually quite flushed but it was worsened by my cold and constant nose blowing. The moisturiser felt lovely as I put it onto my skin - it felt thick and full of nourishment but at the same time it felt light. The fragrance free feature was nice. I felt that within a few days of using the moisturiser, my skin had lessened in redness. It also stayed soft and moisturized throughout the day but without causing greasiness.

The other product I tried was the daily moisturizing lotion. It really did appear to last in its moisturizing feature by 24 hours. It gave my skin a lease of new life. I had the other family members wanting to try this great product. It felt very natural - I like the idea of the natural ingredients such as oatmeal, helping to cleanse and ail the skin. It's during winter when your skin appears to suffer most - a perfect time to try this product.

After trying the moisturizers I would feel confident to try the cleanser and body wash too.

I found the Aveeno Ultra Calming to make a noticable difference to my face within a couple of days. I can feel a more even texture to my skin and have noticed a more even skin tone. I didnt have the same quick change from the daily moisturising. However, I was impressed with this as i think with continous use, I will see pleasing results. Overall I was really impressed with this product and will definetly continue to use the Aveeno Ultra Calming lotion.

I have tried Aveeno products before but not on a regular basis, it was more of getting a single sample here and there. I was always wondering what that fuss was about - but now I understand. This product really works! My skin after using stays nice and firm and full of life only after 3 days of use. I think I'm hooked now :). Even my partner had one quick morning try, and he was happy so he knows now what to get me for my birthday. :)

Thank you for this great opportunity to try this product!

I liked how the Ultra-Calming daily moisturizer was a light texture, and the sunscreen in it didn't make it greasy on my face as I usually have oily skin.

The Daily Moisturising Lotion did a good job as it was very moisturising and not sticky.

The Daily Moisturising Lotion flowed onto my skin easily, with not a trace of greasiness. I put it on my legs in the morning and they still felt hydrated when I went to bed at night. I liked the fact that it was fragrance free, as it means that I can wear perfume at the same time without the scents clashing! The small bottles of this are a perfect size for keeping in your handbag, whereas the large bottle is good for at home.

The Ultra Calming moisturiser also went on smoothly. Although it didn't seem greasy on the first day, it did on the subsequent days so I would consider only using it every second day. On the other hand, I loved the high SPF protection and it's definitely less greasy than using normal sunblock.

I really enjoyed the Aveeno daily Moisturising Lotion. It applied smoothly and was long lasting.

I would recommend this to my friends and family for every day use.

Also the ultra calming lotion was a lovely light moisturization for the face. It felt silky to apply.

I really do love the Aveeno daily moisturising lotion! I work in an airconditioned shop for 10hours a day so it is fantasic for keeping my skin in top shape. It soaks in quickly so that I can get dressed right away.

The ultra calming daily moisturiser is also great as I have quite sensitive skin, and so far i have had no irritation from it, even my husband uses it. I have found that it has reduced the small amount of redness that I had. Keep up the good work Aveeno :)

Aveeno Moisturising lotion - Great for straight after the shower or bath and it's sensitive enough that the kids use it as well. I think with winter upon us my legs have been breathing a sigh of relief that I have been using the moisturiser on them.

The Aveeno products are great, the moisturiser is soothing and calming without being greasy or oily. I have very sensitive skin so it was nice to have products that were non-reactive and made from natural bases and additives - the less chemicals I have to put on my skin and to get good results the better!

The moisturising content of this product is amazing. Leaves your skin feeling wonderfully soft and silky.

Come on Aveeno, give us some more products.

Having sensitive skin it was great to receive the Ultra Calming moisturiser. It did as it said and certainly calmed down my reactive skin, and I also believe that my skin texture has improved (much smoother). My facial skin will often sting after applying products, but it certainly didn't with this. A big thumbs up from me!

The Daily Moisturizing Lotion was also a winner with me. It didn't react with my skin like many other brands/types do, was quickly absorbed and it certainly felt like it 'lasted' for a very long time.

I would certainly use these products again and encourage others to try them too.

Daily Moisturizing Lotion - I really like it. Normally I use body oils as I find that it keeps my skin mouisturised for longer and this lotion actually does just that. I will actually get more of this product when I run out of that sample now.

Ultra Calming moisturiser - This moisturiser was definitely fast absorbing with a good SPF rating. I personally do feel that it is a very light moisturiser and needs to be applied again a couple of hours later to keep the skin hydrated especially in winter with the dry air.

The Aveeno daily face moisturiser is my favourite! While it supplies maximum moisture to your skin, it leaves no oil or stickiness. Makes your skin vibrant and soft.

Yep, really nice products - just not for me! The Daily Moisturizing was a little too greasy for me - although it did keep my hands moisturized for a long time so I guess that's the trade-off. The Ultra-Calming was nice and light and has a fantastic SPF - but did not see any reduction in redness on my face and have used routinely for 2 weeks now.
