Aveeno Calm + Restore Triple Oat Hydrating Face Serum for Sensitive Skin, Gentle Lightweight Facial Serum Instantly Smooths Skin, Non-Comedogenic, Hypoallergenic & Fragrance-Free, 1 fl. oz

I'm really into hydrating skin to get that glowy/dewy finish on my dry skin. I've used this for about 5 years and it compliments my moisturizer so well. I can use it by itself as a moisturizer but it really shines when it's used with a moisturizer. I like to apply it to damp skin, layer with an jojoba and then apply my moisturizer La Roche-Posey, Cicaplast Balm B5 . It just gives me that plump skin look with a bouncy feel to my skin when I touch it. Hands down a great value and they recently updated the applicator so its a pump now, amazing! Two pumps is all you need for your face and neck. No scent which is a plus in my book. It's also very soothing, I tend to get red easily and this definitely calms down my skin so it feels comfortable and soft. My skin does feel hydrated throughout the day until I'm ready to wash it before bed. It lasts for about a month with using two pumps morning and night.

Edit: THEY LISTENED!!! Aveeno listened and gave us a pump!!! I can now give this a five star review!!!! Thanks no longer have to transfer the product into another container!!! Hallelujah! I now 100% recommend this product just as it is! Previous review: Other people have said it, I’m saying it, I’ve talked to people in store at Ulta about it (when they still carried this product), THE DROPPER ON THIS PRODUCT SUCKS!!!!! But be that as it may, the product is fantastic!!! I have gone through 4 bottles of this and am on my 5th. I finally ditched the original packaging and bought an empty glass bottle with a pump (1 fl oz here on Amazon) because I was so sick and tired of dealing with the packaging and now when I get a new bottle it goes straight into the bottle that the pump goes into! The serum is great to my skin, calming and moisturizing. There’s no scent and the price is great. I typically take about 3 months to go through a bottle of it, though sometimes it’s two in the winter. I can tell when I’m not using this serum. My skin looks different. If you want to give it a try, I’d definitely recommend it, and if you like it, just go ahead and buy an empty bottle with a pump. It will save you hassle and frustration.

When I opened the reviews before buying this serum I was anticipating having to replace the cap it comes with but I don't believe I'll have to. The cap works perfectly fine, it's just that this is a thicker, slightly slimy serum so you're not going to get a whole full dropper of it. I think even a non push top dropper would have a hard time picking up a bigger amount. That said, back to the texture: it's extremely slimy. If that consistency in a product bothers you or is something you highly dislike this may not be the serum for you. I nearly put it right back in the box to return when I opened it and saw it looked more like a slugs slime than a typical watery serum, it's very unappealing to the eyes. But even so, it does what it claims to do. I've been using a retinol (if you're over 25 please start using one, a retinol can solve about 90% of general skin issues and make you look younger. I'm 27, everyone consistently believes I'm 18 or 19 at most and I've even had my ID declined because they thought I looked much younger than I am. Seriously, use the retinol) and it's left me with dry skin, as retinol will do because it speeds up cell turnover. I've tried various thick creams to try and combat the dryness but nothing has really worked, so I thought why not try adding a moisturizing serum into my regimen? And I'm very glad I did, because now I no longer have those stubborn areas of dry skin that seemed to resist all cream moisturizers. It adds a lovely glow to the skin without being greasy or just sitting on top. I could feel it sinking into my skin as I was applying it, that was extremely impressive to me. It has no scent and I haven't experienced any irritation so I think it plays well with the other products I use in my skincare routine. The bottle is very small, so I wouldn't call it a good value for the price. It's true you can find other comparable serums at a similar price but in larger sizes so if that's a factor in your purchase I wouldn't buy this and would instead look at other serums that come in a larger size for a similar price.

This is my favorite face serum. Easily. It's the perfect texture. No crazy smell. Soft and silky. It works really well with my face toning tools. I absolutely love that it never bothers my skin or gives me any irritation. The one thing I will say is the dropper is a menace to society. It doesn't work well at all. I was able to use it by just dipping it into the liquid and letting serum fall off the dropper, not from squeezing but sheer gravity, but once you start to get low that doesn't work anymore. I had no choice but to start tapping it out, which honestly drives me crazy, but of course I will do it to get that sweet sweet nectar. Its a great value. I will continue to use it for years, but I will also continue to gripe about the dropper until it gets fixed :P

Overall 9/10. I had really wanted to try this line as I have been struggling with sensitivity due to using retinoids, so finally took the plunge and bought all 3. For reference, I have sensitive dry skin with hormonal breakouts, and typically only use Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and Cerave moisturizing cream (also a physical sunscreen). Serum: 9/10 Love this. Irritated skin is instantly soothed upon application. My favorite use of this is in the evenings, usually right when I get out of the shower, followed by Cerave moisturizing cream, followed by a RX retinoid. I also found it to be really nice for a moisture boost/pick me up during the day, on those work-from-home days where I’m not wearing any makeup. Only knocking off a star bc the dropper is kind of awkward to use, and it’s a bit pricey for the amount you get- although a very small amount goes a long way. Most likely will repurchase. Cleanser: 10/10 Just WOW. If you have sensitive skin, you need to try this. It is even gentler (yet still effective at cleansing) than Cetaphil or Cerave cleansers. I was even having some stinging with those, but not with this. Will 100% repurchase. I wish it was more product for the price though. Gel moisturizer: 4/10 I was not a fan of this. I did have a small amount of irritation trying this, but I also have super sensitive skin. It goes on very smoothly, but I feel like if you have dry skin you will need to use a lot for each application, and there’s just such a small amount for what you pay. I suppose this is from me being spoiled by how well Cerave Moisturizing cream works and the price for what you get? I also didn’t like the way it felt like something was sitting on top of my skin. Pretty hard to describe but I won’t be buying this ever again (gave the rest of the tub to a friend).

So, good things first. I like the way this feels on my skin. It's sort of a gel like serum which I like. It is not thick but also not too watery. I have absolutely no issues getting it into or out of the dropper as other reviews have complained, because there is no dropper. It's a pump, but you have to be careful to not dispense too much because I ended up using WAY more than I needed the first time. You really only need a very small amount. It has no smell that I can detect. It did not dry sticky and left my face feeling soft. I did think my face felt a bit greasy as the day went on, but honestly, it does that if I use nothing at all after cleansing. Now, here's my issue. Dermatologists will tell you that products themselves do not "clog your pores" and cause acne. I WANT to believe them because they went to school for this stuff, right? But I'm telling you from over 40 years of experience, products absolutely CAN cause breakouts. I hesitate to ever try anything new on my face for this very reason. I had what I'd call mild to moderate acne well into my 20's. Mostly after that it was just the occasional pimple/blemish or 2 here and there but have never been truly acne "free". But things were at least better in my 30s-40s. Until perimenopause. So I've been fighting with worsening acne for about 6 months now and finally got it to the point where it's the occasional whitehead here and there. I used this ONE time in the morning. ONCE. 12 hours later when I went to do my nighttime skin care I had not one, not two, but SIX brand new whiteheads staring me in the face. That's not going to be a coincidence. I did use it again last night as I figured the damage was already done and I do like the way it feels. I have super sensitive red-prone skin and really work to find something to help with that. There were no new pimples this morning. I will probably continue to use it to see what happens and will update my review to reflect that. But if you are acne prone, I wouldn't mess with this as there are other serums that haven't broken me out, like the Cetaphil ceramide one.

I like to use this for my skin care routine. It seals the skin and doesn’t cause any irritations. It don’t have a bad smell and keeps the skin protected for a long time. Good price.

I have really liked using the product. It was recommended by a dermatologist to add to my skin care routine. It is soft and blends in well to my skin. Sometimes I get a bottle with a dropper and it's hard to get all the product out but the newer bottles have a pump. There is no smell and it is not greasy.

Vale la pena. Muy fácil de aplicar y la verdad humecta muy suave.

Hydration, soft skin, less irritation. I use it in the morning and evening, skin feels soft and much less reactive.

I have tried many serums for sensitive skin but this is definitely the best by far. On first use together with the Aveeno face cream settled my irritated itching skin also my skin stayed moisturised for the whole day. Amazing.

Good quality product with instant results in just a week

I use it at night.. I’ve been using it for a few weeks and it has helped my redness a lot !
