As much as I love the feel and texture of this I&amp;#39;m not convinced that this is better than other ointments on the market or more effective than an eczema cream. It was around $16.00 usd for 12 oz&amp;#47;312 grams so its price wise on par with Cerave&amp;#39;s ointment. Basically it&amp;#39;s drugstore but not cheap drugstore. 

I also wish it came in squeeze containers not just for sanitairy reasons but for convience. This will have to stay in your bed or bathroom since its a tub and not eady to carry around all day. Other balms and ointments now come in tube sizes for convience so at this pount Aveeno should be doing the same.  

I would still  reccomend it on the great texture for a balm since it dosnt feel as greasy as Vadeline, or Cerave&amp;#47;Aquaphor&amp;#39;s healing ointmenrs. But If you&amp;#39;re like me and don&amp;#39;t mind that then there are other effective and less expensive options out there.

I will finish this jar because I enjoy this balm a lot for it&amp;#39;s texture but as of writing this review I don&amp;#39;t think it&amp;#39;s going to replace my tried and true Aquaohor ointment.

I bought this to try out a balm specifically for eczema. 

The highlight ingredient as with all Aveeno products is colloidal oatmeal and this balm has it at 1% making it an active ingredient. Colloidal oat is a favorite ingreident of mine since it helps in calming my eczema and the itch that comes with it.

It feels like a very smooth balm when applied to  the skin and is easy to rub in weather the skin is wet, damp, or dry. It does go on shiny but the shine dosn&amp;#39;t stay long and it skins into the skin well so it dosnt feel greasy on the hands.

Its a light cream almost translucent white color in the jar but once rubbed into the skin it leaves no white color at all. It acts like any other ointment or balm.

It&amp;#39;s both fragrance and steroid free. 

I love using this balm all over my skin. It dosn&amp;#39;t bother my eczema inflamed hands or feet at all and is great after hand washing as well.

It&#39;s so heavily fragranced that it can be a little overbearing in warm&#47;hot weather. It&#39;s not a bad smell just a little heavy on the florals for me. It&#39;s their signature scent but for me it wasnt my favorite. I used to put up with it becuase I hadn&#39;t found anything else that worked nearly as good. 

Very pricy for skincare in general but it&#39;s a luxury brand so thats pretty (on brand) for them anyway.

I used this years ago and it was once my fvorite hand&#47;joint cream in the world. 

It&#39;s very moisturizing ond the hands and joint areas and glides on the skin very well. It never felt greasy or tacky just highly moisturizing.

Cons - when my eczema was at full flare receny using this made my hands sting a bit while hand washing. However thats most hand washes in general when my eczema is at it&amp;#39;s peak of blistering. Stings my eyes a little if they are open while cleansing my face.

I find it a little pricier per ounce&amp;#47;ml compared to other gentle drugstore cleansers since in store it only comes in 8 oz bottles. 

Also while inspecting the pump right outside of walmart in my car the top of the pump broke on me. The spring was present but I never could get the pump latched back correctly to the rest of the bottle. So I&amp;#39;m squeezing the bottle to get the product out. Could be I just happened to get a faulty bottle but everything was sealed well so I wasn&amp;#39;t worried about contamination.

I bought this looking for a gentle cleanser that has a bit of lather&amp;#47;foaming to it. Not bad. It does cleanse my face of chemical sunscreen, dirt, and sweat. Not too well on mineral but thats the nature of gentle cleansers anyway.

Fragrace and dye free with a very short ingredient list. Bubbles up a little so if you like that for a more cleansed feeling its in here. Nothing crazy like bubble bath just enough to let you know it&amp;#39;s there.

If you dont put this on early enough and then put your mask on before going out you can really smell this sunscreen. It&#39;s fragrance free but you can smell the chemical filters pretty good so make sure you follow the 20 min before going out rule when using this.

Like most chemical sunscreens it burns&#47;stings around the eye area.

It goes on white but when I blend it in it&#39;s nearly 100% clear on my skin. I have brown skin and I don&#39;t get really any cast from this but deeper skin tones might notice a thin white cast. I use the 3 finger rule for my face + neck area. 

It dries to a mostly matte finish. Its not a hard matte that dries out your skin but just matte enough where it you don&#39;t have a greasy feeling on the face. 

It&#39;s around $7&#47;8 usd at my walmart so very reasonable.

It says for face and body and it does warn that it shouldn&#39;t be ussed around the eyes. But it&#39;s a body AND face lotion so you would expect it to be eye safe as well. I did notice a tingle around the eye area a few minutes after I finished my face skincare routine so at least it&#39;s consistant with the lable warning. Because of this I would keep this to a body lotion rather than for the face.

I love this lotion on my body and most of my face. It&#39;s very moisturizing and is a cream texture rather than a traditional lotion. 

Fragrance free so its good for everyone and if you&#39;re wearing perfume it wont compete with it. It&#39;s also moisturizng on the joints and dry spots. When I rub it in its not a super matte finish but not greasy either so no greasy fingerprints everywhere. 

It&#39;s Gold Bond so it&#39;s not expensive and comes in a tube or pump version easily forund at my walmart.
