Love Having A Refill Option

I received this ​Refill Pouch of the Aveeno Calm + Restore Oat Cleanser for free to try in exchange for my honest review through Butterly #gotitfree. This is not my first time using Aveeno refill pouches, I have also used their body wash pouches. These are quick and easy to use and this one for the cleanser was actually easier to open than the body wash one. It used to be a pull tab on the inside of the cap to break the seal but now it's on a small plastic nub on the outside that you snap off. For me this took a lot less effort. I love that these pouches hold 2X the amount of product because not only is it cutting down on plastic consumption, it's also saving me trips to the store. I love knowing I have a refill available for when I run out. I do like that the pouch is using 80% less plastic than buying 2 regular bottles and it's made with 30% post-consumer plastic. I do however wish the pouch itself was recyclable. The cleanser is a good cleanser if you have dry or sensitive skin. It is pretty different from other cleansers on the market. This one does not suds up or foam. The texture is like a melted cleansing balm or oil. I was impressed by how easily it washes off even though it has that milky cleansing balm texture. It is very hydrating and gentle.

AVEENO® Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat Facial Clean

AVEENO® Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat Facial Cleanser is amazing! The cleanser was creamy which allowed to calm my skin while it removed dirt, impurities and any oil. It kept my skins moisture barrier well and worked to hydrate my skin. I have very sensitive skin and this product is fragrance-free, unscented and catered for sensitive skin as well. I will be purchasing this again for sure.

Environment helping

The nourishing oat refill pouch is a handy and environmentally friendly way to reuse your current pump and bottle. I found it a little messy to use compared to other refill pouches I’ve had, you can’t fill it up past the “Aveeno” title as I found the cleanser wanted to go straight up and over the twist edge instead of moving inwards to continue filling the bottle. Once I figured this out it was a lot cleaner and I would buy again for the environment.

I like the environmental initiative

I think this is a very clever and smart waste reducing way to provide refills to the cleanser without creating as much waste. My issue is that this plastic is not able to be recycled as easily as the bottle.

Packaging not recyclable

Let me first start with the face cleanser is a really night product. I was really excited for the refillable pouch option but disappointed to find out if was also not recyclable. However it is great that you can refill the pump bottle and cut down on plastic that way.

Environmentally fresh!

I received a **full sized** sample AVEENO Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat Facial Cleanser Refill Pouch!! What an awesome surprise!! I'm a fan of refilling bottles with these types of pouches. Better for the environment = better for us all. This will refill the original bottle of cleanser two times! Fabulous!

Good product

I recieved it as a free sample. I liked the quantity of the product. It is easy to use and the quality of the cleanser is just wao. I recommend this product.

easy to refill bottle

Aveeno really made it easier for us when they used a smaller spout for the refill bag! I was able to refill my bottle easily with no mess like i have had in the past!
