AVEENO ULTRA-CALMING DAILY MOISTURIZER WITH SPF 30

I recently got the opportunity from Chickadvisor to test out the Aveeno Ultra-calming daily moisturizer for free to give my honest opinion. The moisturizer is definitely light weight and it has a nice scent, however if you have deep skin tone expect to get a white cast, I am assuming it due to the sun screen. I love how you don't have to use a lot, 1-2 pump is enough. I checked Walmart and it's retailing for $19.97, which is a reasonable price. If you have sensitive skin, I would definitely recommend it.

It was okay.

Aveeno Ultra Calming daily Moisturizer with SPF 30 is a good moisturizer if you really have sensitive skin.

It doesn’t have the harsh smell of sunscreen. The consistency though is quite thick. It has SPF 30 and it is just right for me. It applies well But doesn’t absorb quickly. I usually had to wait a fe more minutes for me to be able to apply my make up.

So I guess it is not suited for wearing under make up. I have used other products that are thinner in consistency and blends really well.

It’s an okay product for someone who don’t want a lot of SPF on their sunscreen. It is very gentle on skin though so really great for what it’s made for.

I can’t say it toned down any redness on my face. I walk my dog everyday and it makes my face really warm that I feel like I’m burning up. So I dunno.. maybe it’s thd weather but since I started using this my face just gets warm easily.

I’d say I’d still recommend it to people with sensitive skin or hates the smell of sunscreen like me.

Not My Favourite

I was super excited about this product after reading the product packaging. It contains some really high quality ingredients that are great for your skin. I really wanted to love this product but I don't. This product is only SPF 30 so I was surprised at how white my skin looked after applying it. My skin is very fair and it still made me very white looking, the level of white I would expect in an SPF 50 or 60 product. I actually had to wipe some of it off. It's not the best to use under makeup because applying the makeup over top of it caused the moisturizer to pill and clump which is super annoying. This product also made my skin extremely oily looking. All day I felt like a grease ball and it tended to settle into my fine lines and pores, further accentuating the whiteness of the product.


Some of the pros - it didn't irritate my skin and it's odorless which is nice. You also don't need to use a lot of it to get good coverage so although the bottle it small, it will probably last quite awhile.


Overall, as an everyday moisturizer, this product is not for me. I might use it for pool/beach days when I'm slathering on sunscreen anyway and don't care about the greasy whiteness.

Pilled on my skin

Got it free through the product review club. I really wanted to love this product since it is a 2-in-1 moisturizer and sunscreen and a mineral sunscreen at that. But alas it was not for me. There is a significant white cast upon initial application which dissipates as you work it into the skin (typical of mineral sunscreen). Regardless of whether I wore makup or not over this moisturizer by midday it will have pilled up on my chin and cheeks so if I touched my face it would come off in clumps. As the weather changes and gets warmer maybe my opinion will change but for now I would not recommend it.

Not a fan

Got to try this product Free from chickadvisor and aveeno.

I found that this moisturizer didn’t work well for me. My skin was still pretty dry after use and had to use a lot.

It did have a very light scent and was very light on the skin. And it is fairly. Good price to buy in the store as well.

Good sunscreen

I received this moisturizer free for testing purposes. I love the summery colours of the packaging and the pump top that can lock when not in use. Just one pump allowed me to cover my entire face. Although a little goes a long way it still feels a bit too pricey for the amount of product. The moisturizer feels more thick like a sunscreen. It goes on white but then becomes transparent when rubbed in. It has a medicinal scent that goes along with the ingredients but the smell isn’t overpowering. I tried wearing this under my makeup but it was too thick and became flakey when I applied my normal everyday products. I think it’s best used as a sunscreen for makeup free days and wouldn’t really call it a moisturizer.

Good at getting rid of the redness, but felt like sunscreen

I've been using the Aveeno Ultra-calming daily moisturizer with SPF 30 for a littel over a week now and it has done a great job at keeping my skin nice and moisturized. It smells great, had a SPF of 30 which is fantastic since I don't need to put on sunscreen on top of the moisturizer and I loved the bottle with the pump! The moisturizer is fairly thick and felt a little like actually sunscreen to me (kinda sticky feeling when I put it on). I do have a tendency to have red spots on my skin and it did a good job at getting rid of those, but it felt a little oily and I did break out a little more than usual when using it. #GotItFree

White streaks are a major pain

Note: I received this product for free to test.

For starters, this isn't a moisturizer; it is a basic sunscreen, plain and simple. My face doesn't feel refreshed or 'ultra-calm' at all. It annoyingly feels tacky where any pet hair sticks to my face and I feel like I'm wearing a mask. It's a layer on my face that I just want to wash off because it feels uncomfortable.

Another con is it leaves white streaks all over my face. It accumulates in my eyebrows and other creases leaving white matter that I need to use my nail to kind of scrap out. My fingertips, when trying to blend out the streaks, just seem to push around, what feels like gunk. Eventually, it does seem to buffer into the skin.

$20 is a steep price point for a low end feeling sunscreen. I have cheaper moisturizers with SPF 30 that actually feel and act like moisturizer, and they don't leave my face tacky, streaky, and slightly whiter than my natural tone. I would never recommend this product to anyone.

Only average moisturizer

My face dries out in the winter months so I generally have to switch up my skin care regime once the cold weather hits. There is a fine line for me between providing enough moisture to my face and not clogging up my pores and making me break out. I had hoped that AVEENO Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30 would be my new go-to for my winter care regime but after using it for a couple of weeks I'm not overly thrilled with it.

It moisturized alright after applying but I noticed no difference in the redness from dry patches around my cheeks as the days went by. As well, when I applied my makeup on over top of it my makeup just didn't sit well. It was all patchy and splotchy looking by mid-day.

Might work well for others but no thumbs up from me for this product.

**I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.**

Heavy Thick Cream

Ok, I have had enough time to truly give this cream a good try. The texture of the cream is fine. It has no scent, which is great. I found it to be very thick and skin pulling to apply. You want something that will glide on your skin without you having to rub the crap out of your skin to get it absorbed and put on thoroughly. I found this cream took too much effort to rub in and when you think of it, ultimately would cause you to show more age on your skin since you have to rub so ferociously. I use udderly smooth cream and definitely prefer it over this.
