Aveeno Calm and Restore Nourishing Oat Cleanser – 7.8 fl oz

My Skin Barrier was a mess until I started using this Face Wash!!
So. I’ve been using this product for a bit now. I was having skin barrier problems pretty bad especially after the fall/winter. Super damaged, red, itchy, acne, some dryness and all. I was a mess and super depressed over how me and my skin were looking. I was using a foam facewash since my skin is normally very oil but also very sensitive to many products. I can’t use most skincare products because of this. Never had issues with products I normally used for years till I figured out months later it was my skin barrier. Switching to a gel facewash was the best decision I’ve made and im going to keep on doing it. My skin has started to clear up, its more hydrated looking and not as oily throughout the day too. I also have rosacea and has helped my redness and bit of itchiness I sometimes get as well. I have super sensitive skin as well and had no bad reaction towards this product. I really never thought of using a gel face wash since I thought it would make my skin oilier, but it actually did the opposite at least for me. For me it took around a week for my skin to start looking 10x better and I was super surprised since very soon my BF is coming down to visit for the week. I will definitely keep on using this facewash well after my skin barrier is healed. It also works very well for the body and makes my skin super soft and hydrated!!Things I also did + Tips that are helping me heal my skin barrier:I’m also using the First Aid Beauty Hydrating dewy gel cream as well that has Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides which also helps on healing a damaged skin barrier. I just putting on damp clean skin after im done washing my face. Hyaluronic Acid works best applied to wet clean skin. Also make sure to wash your face with luke warm water and not hot along with being very gentle so no hard water from the shower if your sensitive like me with your skin type. Make sure to keep skincare simple as well to if you’re healing your skin barrier only a gentle facewash and moisturizer with ceramides + if you can HA in it as well. Foam face washes don’t work well healing the skin barrier since they just dry out the skin and take away all the natural oils your skin needs to heal. I did also for one night did slugging to lock in the moisture on my face using 100% pure petroleum jelly. Its were you wash your face, apply moisturizer then after a bit applying a thin layer of Vaseline to the face to lock in the moisturizer so that your skin starts healing. (I only did this for one night then washed it off the next day. It helped me a lot but its defiantly not for everyone so take caution and do research before trying it on your skin)Note: Make sure to always patch test a product. Not everything is made for everyone’s skin mattering on your skin type.

Very gentle and smells nice; Helped contribute to healing a sensitive and dry skin issue
Switched to this facewash while I was exploring sensitive skincare options to help manage a dry, flaky face skin problem. I’m happy with the results!Avoiding hot water in the shower and using a gentle cleanser like this helped a lot. It seemed like using soapy, sudsy cleansers before was too harsh for my sensitive skin, so switching to something that is essentially gel that melts crud away with water (after some lathering) might’ve helped out a lot to restore my skin’s moisture barrier and prevent irritation. I had also switched to a very intense moisturizer (la rouche posay triple moisturizing cream) to help preserve/add to the moisture this facial cleanser helped protect. It’s working super nice on me and dry skin isn’t a problem anymore, so I’ll keep up the routine with this product. Not to mention that it also lasts a long time, I bought my bottle around mid-late February and only now I feel like I’m starting to run out.Good habits and compatability with the products your using is key!As expected of the main ingredients, it has a very very very light oat fragrance. I like it and I have had no weird reactions to it.

Great for sensitive skin
I have combo skin that is very sensitive and acne prone. It is hard to find a face wash that cleans well my oily areas without drying too much my dry areas and that doesn’t irritate my skin or breaks me out. This face wash accomplishes that. It is uncented which I prefer on my face products. It has a gel like texture that feels very comfortable on the skin. I like the presentation; you get a decent amount of product and you don’t need to use much. If you have the same skin concerns as me I recommend you try this face wash. It is excellent!

Not my favorite.
Gets the job done but I didn’t notice a change in my skin. I was hoping this would help with hydration but I ended up switching after using it for about 2 months.

Cleans your face well

Good

Men encantó el limpiador. Deja la piel hidratada y radiante. Remueve el maquillaje del rostro y es muy gentil con la piel. No hace espuma pero eso no importa, limpia excelente.
