Review: Aveeno Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer

I thought I'd do a review for a product that I use:

Aveeno Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer

This product is claimed to be oil-free, hypoallergenic, and noncomedogenic.

The back of the bottle says that this moisturizer will:

• Leave skin soft and smooth
• Improve skin texture
• Even out skin tone
• Improve skin clarity
• Prevent breakouts
• Clear up blemishes

I give it 4.5/5 cookies.

I've always liked Aveeno products, so I was happy when my mom gave me this product. I use it in the morning after washing my face. I have a combination skin type, meaning that my skin is dry in some areas (cheeks) and oily in others (t-zone). I've been using it since 1/30/10, and it seems like there's still a good amount of product left in the bottle.

Let's start with the pros of this moisturizer.

Pros:

• Pleasant smell: It has a light, flowery smell. The flowery scent may be a con to some, but the smell isn't strong at all, so I like it.
• Improved skin: I noticed that it did leave my skin smoother and softer like it said it would! :) Just in general it helped make my skin look and feel better.
• Less oil: This product is good at controlling the oil/shine on my t-zone.
• Leaves skin feeling clean.
• A little goes a long way: I put just a small amount on my finger, less than a dime-sized amount, and that's enough to cover my face.
• Design of the bottle: I like how the moisturizer gets pumped out of the bottle, and the appearance of the bottle is nice (those are very minor points though).

Now for the reasons why I took off half a cookie for it.

Cons:

• It's $17 for a 4 fl. oz. bottle (of course prices may vary). That's a little pricey. However, like I stated in my pros, this products does go a long way.
• Doesn't moisturize that well: This product leaves my skin dry at times, and it could definitely moisturize better.

Overall, my opinion of this product is very good. I would recommend it to a friend.
