• "Very light, not greasy. Light smell. Smells fresh."
• "It feels so refreshing and light-weight on my skin."

Cons:

• "I do *not* like the smell at all but that’s a small price to pay for moisturized, clear skin."
• "I’m going to look for a new brand instead of this trash brown-top version. Very disappointing."
• "I’ve been using this moisturizer for years but just like others have commented on here, ever since they changed the formula I don’t like it as much and I am disappointed now but I don’t know if I will be able to find anything else which irritates me as well."
• "It claims to be oil free yet it just sits on your face & doesn't moisturizer & just makes my combo skin have that SHINY effect that I hate."

Packaging and Delivery

Pros:

• "Found it here on Amazon, and it came in shorter time than expected and it's great!"

• "Great deal and fast shipping!"

Cons:

• "The excessive tardiness of delivery and delay after delay, and after delay was ridiculous terribly disappointed in the actual service."
• "The product was leaking when I received it."
• "This product had fallen out of its packaging by the time it arrived."
• "When I opened up the box, I noticed that the Aveeno package was already open from the top."
• "The bottle had obviously been opened and almost half the contents were gone which makes me think maybe it was mixed with some other lotion to make it seem fuller."
• "Love the product. Not harsh and a good moisturizer. I am truly disappointed in how I received the product. It arrived outside of its box with a broken off pump."
• "I love this product, but packaging is always a problem."
