I am a member of Crowdtap's Aveeno Advocates program I received a free sample of Aveeno's Sheer Hydration Daily Moisturizing lotion and Protect+Hydrate SPF30.
The lotion works well, it softens even my toughest of scales (for those who aren't aware, I'm turning into an alligator). It has a weird smell, but the smell is very mild so it doesn't offend. my scaly patches truly are softer, even though I haven't been using the lotion daily. Of course, the lotion alone would not have softened my scales, I've been using an exfoliating scrub. But I've been exfoliating and moisturizing regularly for years and my scaly patches remained strong. The Aveeno lotion, along with the exfoliation, has softened my scales. I'll have to buy more if I want to stave of my transition to full alligator. I'm not sure yet if I want too, though. I kind of like the idea of becoming an alligator...
The sunblock I couldn't even use. The active ingredients include avobenzone, which burns my skin horrifically. I'm actually shocked that Aveeno would use chemical sunblocks instead of physical ones. I realize that many people prefer chemical sunblocks, but I've always viewed Aveeno as a brand for people with sensitive skin, and many sensitive skin types can't wear chemical sunblocks. So the sunblock doesn't fit with my image of Aveeno brand. As a disclaimer, I'm not one of those loons who believes that chemicals are evil. I just can't use chemical sunblocks.
