Texture and Application

Pros:

• "It is not greasy. It is not runny or oily. It really is the perfect moisturizer for infants and toddlers."
• "Since it's a cream rather than an ointment, it absorbed right away into my skin. No greasiness, no cotton gloves!"
• "It has a thicker texture and leaves her face with a nice cooling feel that stops her from scratching."
• "It's cream but easy to absorb from skin. It keeps the skin moisturized better than lotions."
• "It goes on pretty thick, rubs in well, with no oily residue."
• "It smooths on nicely so you don't have to use too much because it's not that thick."
• "This lotion is super moisturizing and does not leave a greasy feel."

Cons:

• "The Aveeno lotion is thin, watery and burns the affected areas terribly when first applied."
• "Quite disappointed with the result after 24 hours of use."
• "It doesn't do anything for her. It leaves a sticky feeling on her face which she ends up scratching it more and she developed little red bumps."
• "It feels a bit gluey when first going on and gets worse if I mix it with products it doesn’t like... but the itching, burning, and flaking are gone."
• "This broke my sensitive baby’s skin out with little bumps all over. It didn’t have much scent and it was a sticky consistency."
• "I usually layer it on pretty thick, and it's a bit oily, so my husband complains."
• "It went on smooth and kept my baby's skin hydrated, a little sticky though, but did absolutely nothing for his eczema."

• "I even have this on autoship because in the stores the 5oz bottle is almost double the price."
• "We love the Aveeno and have bought dozens of these - too bad this doesn't come in a huge tub - it would be worth the investment."

• "Just finished it & went out a bought the big tub from target right away."
• "Arrived as expected with no issues at all, very well packaged. This works great on my son's eczema."
• "I wish it came in larger sizes."

• "Its okay. You're mostly paying for the name."
• "Smelly product. I wouldn’t put this on any baby! Thick cream."
