I use Aveeno to prevent my skin drying out, its perfect in winter when my hands have a moment and dry out, especially the backs of my hands! It keeps them super moisturised and calms down any redness and burning sensations.
I also pop a tiny bit on my face when I have a bit of redness or a very occasional spot pops up! Next day, its gone!
And if its good enough for Jennifer Aniston, its good enough for me!

I am in my mid 50's with mature, fair tone skin and green eyes. My hair is blonde, processed with normal texture.
As I explained in my review for the Aveeno cream, my doctor advised me to try this range when I felt as though I was a walking canvas for eczema. My skin didn't actually feel sore for using my previous moisturiser (I can't even remember what it was as it was about six years ago) but I listened to her advice because my whole body was agony.
It has an unfragranced, vaguely oaty smell which I find inoffensive; this of course is great if your skin is sensitive. In fact, it is so gentle that it is palatable to my daft dog, who wants to want to lick the pump every time I use it *insert grimace here*.
It isn't the cheapest moisturiser in the world, but I do think it is worth it. It quickly gets to work gently rehydrating your skin, whilst using its oaty goodness to bring it back to a decent PH level and provide a barrier to external irritants - this means it it is perfect for people like me with annoying red patches, or people who just want a good moisturiser.
I hear a lot of complaints about how winter dries out skin, but honestly, I haven't had a tight and uncomfortable face since I have used this, and I don't even remember when I last had facial eczema.
A couple of months back, I switched to a moisturiser with big claims designed for redness and itchiness - it was three times more expensive, three times as small, and not half as effective. I would urge anyone to give this a go before spending a fortune on brands like Avene and Roche Posay, you'll be pleasantly surprised with the results.
The downside to this brand is that it isn't cruelty free, but it has been such a lifesaver that I will probably continue to buy this, and others from this range. They are all so helpful. Sorry bunnies :(

I am in my mid 30's with combination, fair tone skin and green eyes. My hair is medium brown, dry with coarse texture.
I really like this lotion! It’s great for dry skin especially I find in winter and is easy to apply and dries quickly. Leaves skin feeling moisturised and smooth. You get a lot of product too. Plus it’s not crazy expensive! All I would say is that I’m not too keen on the smell of it, I prefer fruity smells (like my body shop body yogurt)

I am in my late teens/early 20's with sensitive, fair tone skin and hazel eyes. My hair is blonde, normal with fine texture.
✨This is a straightforward body moisturiser which does what it says on the bottle! I love how quickly it absorbs into the skin, minus the feeling of being greasy! My skin did feel quite tacky which lasted until the following day, but it was bearable. It left my skin feeling lovely and smooth, especially post shaving. I would’ve however preferred something a bit more hydrating, but that is down to me usually neglecting anything from my neck down 😂 It is a good no frills daily moisturiser, which over time does leave you skin looking and feeling amazing.It’s in a nice big bottle too, lasts ages!

I find this lotion great for its moisturising properties and I can see why it is aimed at people with quite dry skin. I find it makes my skin soft and smooth feeling. It easily absorbs but not too quickly so you don't need loads of it. I am a big fan of lotions in pump dispensers so that is a big plus point for me. The only drawback back is it leaves my skin feeling like it has coating on. It's not greasey and doesn't feel horrible, it's just something I notice when I rub my leg. Wouldn't out me off buying it again though especially when it's on a good offer.

Seems to do the job well although I don't use it daily so perhaps I'm not getting its full benefits. The skin seems to drink up the lotion within 5 minutes which is impressive, skin does feel nice and soft afterwards. Would buy again!

I am in my late 20's/early 30's with normal, light tone skin and blue eyes. My hair is dark brown, normal with fine texture.
I've suffered with psoriasis for 15 years and after trying everything under the sun, this was the gentlest thing for my face but also really effective. It provides long lasting moisturisation without inflaming my psoriasis like some prescribed emollients did. It is quite a rich formula but I would say it is suitable for all skin types. Highly recommend especially for skin conditions!

Although this moisturises extremely effectively, I find it leaves me feeling oily and gross after I have massaged it in to my skin. It's such a shame because the formula is so great, but I just hate the feeling afterwards. I wouldn't recommend putting jeans or leggings on straight after.

This is my go to! I don't think I could live without this moisturiser just because it works so well. I have always had issues with dry skin around my eyes and with this it went within a couple of days! Even my doctor recommended this
