"This serum can be used AM or PM and you apply your serum to clean skin before moisturizer. This serum is designed to instantly soothe and replenish the moisture and hydrate your skin barrier. It's formulated with nourishing triple oat complex and calming feverfew. This facial serum with these ingredients is perfect for really sensitive skin. The key ingredients are the triple oat complex, the feverfew extract, and glycerin."

"I'm going to go in with a tiny bit of the Aveeno Calm + Restore serum. This is great for helping with redness. [...] I like when I do skin care, I like to work it into the fingertips and then kind of dot it around the face. I feel like it's the easiest way to apply it evenly without having to apply a ton."

Cruelty Free & Affordable Alternatives Better Than the Aveeno Calm & Restore Triple Oat Serum

"I've really enjoyed this serum in the past, so I think finding a good cruelty-free alternative to it [...] is a nice alternative to have something in your back pocket if you decide to go cruelty-free. The main ingredients are all slip ingredients, it's very front-loaded with that, and then the preservative. All of the exciting ingredients come after phenoxyethanol, which means they're not a high percentage."

"I love the Aveeno Calm and Restore, a very lightweight hydrating serum that you can use instead of a heavier moisturizer if you're wearing a mask a lot throughout the day or living in a very humid environment."

"I love this serum. It is the Calm and Restore Triple O serum and it is extremely calming and soothing, especially if you have eczema. It is really nicely geared towards sensitive skin. If you're looking for a hydrating serum, I would strongly urge that you guys look into this one. The one downfall is this dropper sucks; it is probably one of the worst droppers I've ever used on the market. You guys can flip it out for a pump head."

Best Serums of 2021 | Dr. Shereene Idriss

"I absolutely hate the dropper, [...] but it is one of the most beautiful serums. I love it because it's lightweight enough but it really is effective enough, especially if you're somebody who is wearing a mask all day and you do not want to wear something too occlusive. Even though we are going into winter time, if you find yourself on the drier end of the spectrum, you can definitely layer this with a thicker moisturizer and it gets the job done."

"I love this brand as well and their Calm Restore Triple O serum or gel moisturizer, [...] I hate their dropper but this baby is phenoms the noms because it's just enough hydration if you are oily and you might need a little bit more if you are dry but it is the perfect combination of something that quenches your skin and allows your skin to stay nice and firm and plump throughout the day and there's no HA in it so I am obsessed love it love it love it."

"A leave-on glycerin product that I really enjoy is the Aveeno Calm and Restore Triple Oat Serum. This to me is just a really nice gentle hydrating serum. I would use it in lieu of a traditional hyaluronic acid serum and it's great for bringing that extra moisture to the skin. For people who have oily skin, I think this can be used instead of a moisturizer in the morning and you would follow it with your sunscreen."

"I'm thinking to get you the Aveeno Calm + Restore Triple Oat Serum. The reason I love this one is that it has three forms of oats to help deeply nourish the skin but also calm any sensitivity because Accutane can be a little intense on the skin, just to help combat that dryness you're experiencing."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
