About Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion
You might have heard of the old wives’ tale that says you should take an oatmeal bath if you get an allergic reaction. While we’re unsure of how effective that is, there’s a reason that saying came about.
Oats are known for their soothing properties, which explains why they are the hero ingredient in Aveeno’s Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion.
Formulated with nourishing Prebiotic Triple Oat (oat flour, oat extract, and oat oil) and hydrating shea butter, this rich and creamy lotion promises to relieve itch and moisturise dry, sensitive skin in just 20 seconds.
This dermatologist-recommended lotion is clinically proven to provide long-lasting hydration for up to 72 hours** – there is no need to reapply several times a day!
Its nourishing, fragrance-free formula also helps strengthen the skin’s protective barrier and support its natural ceramide production.
Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion retails for S$30.20 and is available at major retailers, or online at Watsons, Guardian, Fairprice, Shopee and Lazada.
**After four weeks of continuous use, individual results may vary.

Skin concerns: Dry skin, itching
My skin completely stopped itching after using the Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion! I usually get rashes on my legs, and there was a stark difference between the leg I applied the lotion to and the one I did not.
I was surprised to see that my usually dehydrated skin looked a lot healthier from just one use. It only took one day to stop itching and reduce redness on my skin.
I like how the texture of this lotion absorbs easily into my skin. It’s not greasy and feels comfortable on my skin. After using it, my skin feels softer and a lot more moisturised. As it’s a fragrance-free product, I expected it to smell plain and bland. However, it has a soft and pleasant scent that I enjoy.
I’ve found myself reaching for this lotion every time I experience itch. Overall, I am very impressed by it, and I’m interested in trying other products in their Skin Relief range!

Most of the lotions I’ve used for dry skin have a heavier consistency, so I was pleasantly surprised by how easy to absorb the Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion is!
Despite how light it feels on my skin, its texture still feels nourishing and thick, which is why I did not expect the lotion to glide on as smoothly as it did. It also does not leave an uncomfortable, oily residue, absorbing faster than other moisturisers I’ve tried.
While this lotion keeps my skin moisturised even after hours of application, I still feel the need to reapply it a few times a day.
I’ve noticed my dry patches and cracks in the skin fading away after using this lotion. It took about two to three days before my skin started feeling more hydrated, soft, and smooth!

Skin concerns: Eczema
As I usually experience itching on my toes, this lotion did feel a little too thick and heavy for me. However, its creamy and moisturising texture will be great for those who are suffering from extremely dry and sensitive skin.
There is no doubt about how my skin feels softer and more moisturised after using this lotion for a week.
A plus point would be its lightweight packaging, which makes it easy to carry everywhere with me. It is a fuss-free product that is easy to use. I also really like the smell of the lotion!

One day was all it took for the Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion to stop itching and reduce redness! My skin also felt more moisturised and soft the next day. I love its comfortable texture; it absorbs well into my skin and does not feel too sticky or heavy.
It soothed my eczema and completely stopped itching after I applied it. Compared to other products I’ve used, this lotion took the least time to relieve my itch. It also did not cause my skin to tingle or burn after I applied it.

I love how the Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion doesn’t feel sticky on my skin, especially with how hot the weather has been lately! Its silky consistency glides on smoothly and seamlessly, absorbing quickly into my skin.
It is great for Singapore’s weather as it helps soothe my skin and strengthen my skin barrier in the recent heat wave. It’s comfortable to wear as I can barely feel it sitting on my skin.
This lotion relieved my itch the fastest compared to other itch-relief products I’ve used before. It only took one use for my skin to stop itching. In just one day, I noticed a decrease in itch and redness on my skin.
An added bonus is its gentle scent, which does not irritate the nose. I found myself reaching for the product when I experienced an itch again, and I’m definitely keen on trying the other products in their Skin Relief range!

Skin concerns: Dry skin, flakey patches
My skin stopped itching immediately after applying the Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion.
I was also surprised by how my skin remained moisturised throughout the night, despite sleeping in an air-conditioned room that usually dries out my skin! Even when I’m taking a shower the next morning, I can feel the layer of hydration on my skin.
I found the lotion’s consistency rather creamy, but I like that it isn’t too heavy or sticky, which feels comfortable on my skin. My skin feels more smooth and moisturised after using this lotion.
My heels look less cracked, and I’ve also noticed the patchiness on my skin fading! I’m also a fan of its clean packaging, especially the pump dispenser for hygiene purposes.

Unlike other lotions I’ve used in the past, the Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion moisturises my skin very well yet does not feel thick and greasy.
I’ve always thought that a moisturising lotion would feel heavy and sticky, and if it had a lighter consistency, then it would probably not be moisturising enough for my dry skin. Aveeno’s lotion really impressed me in this aspect!
This lotion absorbs well into my skin, leaving a soft and smooth touch to it. My skin definitely feels more moisturised after using it. I also enjoy its mild yet comfortable scent!

I like how this lotion does not feel too sticky on my skin. Its silky texture makes it easy to layer it over other lotions and body creams.
I use this whenever I experience an itch, and it has helped soothe my skin and manage the itch. My skin also feels more moisturised, softer, and smoother to the touch!

Skin concerns: Dry skin, itching, flakey patches
I was surprised by how long-lasting the hydrating effect of the Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion is, which is different from many other lotions I’ve tried. It lasts all day, with no need for reapplication during the day!
The silky smooth texture spreads onto my skin easily and does not feel sticky or heavy. Instead, my skin feels clean and fresh after every use.
I can see an improvement in my skin condition with this lotion. It no longer itches and feels a lot softer, smoother, and more moisturised. It doesn’t have a strong fragrance, but a light scent that smells of oat.

Skin concerns: Itching, redness
This lotion provides immediate relief for my dry skin. Whenever I apply it to dry patches, my skin instantly feels more moisturised! Although I found this lotion’s texture thick and creamy, it felt comfortable on my skin.
My only gripe with the product is that it doesn’t absorb into my skin as quickly as I’d like. Overall, I would still recommend the Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion to people with dry skin!
