Great product

It’s a great everyday cleanser to use specially for people with sensitive skin. After use your skin doesn’t feel tight or dry.
I also think more brands need to sell a refill bag its a lot better for the planet and easier to buy more of your favourite products and not run out.

Environmentally friendly

So pleased to have been provided with a refill that is 2x the product. I super appreciate the care for the planet with 80% saving of plastic along with the pouch being made with recycled plastic. Eco friendly easy to use packaging is big in my books. The easy to pour spout is the perfect size for filling up the bottle and the pouch is relatively easy to hold and pour. As long as you are gentle and careful with pouring the cleanser you don’t have to worry about product being wasted.

Love the option to refill

I got to try Aveeno Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat Facial Cleanser Refill Pouch for free for my honest opinion. I love to be able to refill the bottle as opposed to getting a new bottle everytime I run out of the cleanser in the bottle. I like this move towards being more environmentally friendly.

Perfect refill

This refill is perfect for me. I find that refill bags are great for the environment. There's less waste and I can use it to refill the original bottle or a cute bottle of my choice great option

A gentle cleanser best used as a light shower gel

First, a note on the packaging. The refill pouch is designed surprisingly well. The cap is easy to open and it's intuitive and smooth to close and re-open. This makes the (well, my) suggested use for the shower quite convenient, even without the pump bottle. The pouch contains twice the volume of the pump bottle. So in addition to the pouch using less plastic in general, the size adds to the economic factor.

I tested out the cleansing efficacy of the cleanser 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 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.

Love the new refill pouch package

This has a cream / gel texture which i really liked. It feels really gentle on the the skin. Doesnt lather when in contact with water but gives the skin a good cleanse without overdrying it. Skin feels really soft and supple on rinsing it. I would say this cleanser is suitable for all skin types and all season. Happy to note that the cleanser now comes in a convenient refill pouch which is environmental friendly and fills up 2 of the fl-oz bottle with some extra left. Definitely a good bargain for me.

Amazing Facewash for my sensitive & dry skin

When it comes to skincare, Aveeno is a brand I have always trusted with my sensitive skin & I was looking for a hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic cleanser and when I tried this and found out that it is not only that but also fragrance-, paraben, alcohol-, dye-, sulfate-, and phthalate-free, I was absolutely sold! The face wash's texture is really soft and hydrating and once I wash it off , my skin feels even more hydrated even before I put any moisturiser on. I will give this product a 10/10

Environmentally friendly option!

I have very sensitive skin and this is my new favourite everyday cleanser. It cleans well without leaving my skin feeling super dry. I prefer to use this in the morning and leave it in my shower as part of my morning routine. I appreciate that there is a refillable pouch option so I can continue to use the bottle and reduce my plastic consumption.

A separate pouch refill great idea

The pouch is a great idea. As this can easily fill up a few times. Or a bonus to bring with you travelling. Am pleased with the line overall, except as mentioned before it doesnt seem to fully cleanse (I personally feel)

Easy to use

The AVEENO Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat Facial Cleanser Refill Pouch is easy to use without making a mess. I like that it contains less plastic than a normal bottle, but provides you with at least two refills of this product's standard bottle. The cleanser in itself is gentle on sensitive skin, leaving it clean without making it too dry. The fact that it is fragrance-free also helps and, after four or five uses, I didn't notice any negative effects on my skin. I will definitely use the entire product, and might even buy it again when i'm done!
