Insufficient alone for severe dryness

What the gurus are saying

Colloidal oats earn praise for calming skin and locking in hydration, making this a favorite among dermatologists for eczema-prone skin. The dimethicone boosts hydration, but it can clash with other silicone products if layered together, a consideration for those already using silicone primers. The formula works on faces too, and many prefer its fragrance-free simplicity for sensitive skin.

"It's completely fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and about as easy to use head to toe as a lotion gets. This is probably my safe answer for almost everyone, normal to dry skin, itchy winter skin, kids, the patient who tells me they hate the feeling of lotion. [...] If your skin is basically fine and you just need consistent daily moisture, then this one does the job beautifully. The honest caveat is that if your skin is severely dry, cracked, or flaky, this one may not be enough on its own."

*NEW* Anti-aging Skincare At Costco | November 2023

"Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion is another hidden gem here at Costco. Why are they hiding the price from us? I'm not sure, but it usually is a good deal. The colloidal oats in this help [...] protect the skin, limit penetration of irritants and aeroallergens which can aggravate atopic dermatitis. They're also anti-inflammatory and they're very hydrating."

"This is a great facial moisturizer too. I could have just used this as a facial moisturizer, but I went ahead and brought the up and up one. You never know how your skin is going to feel."

Amazon Prime Day Skincare Deals I Actually Recommend

"I'm constantly recommending this body lotion, which comes from Aveeno. It has colloidal oatmeal for hydrating, anti-inflammatory action and reducing transepidermal water loss, from oat kernel flour, plus dimethicone to further reduce water loss, and glycerin for long-lasting hydration. The Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion in a pump is great, and there's no niacinamide either for those who are sensitive."

NEW SKIN CARE AND HYGIENE AT COSTCO 2022 🛍 @DrDrayzday

"Aveeno's Daily Moisturizing Lotion, you can't go wrong with. Right now they're having a sale, it's 12.29 for the two 20 ounce bottles. Colloidal oatmeal and dimethicone, both are skin protectants, help relieve dryness and irritation, good for the body. This is pretty fast absorbing, it doesn't feel greasy on the skin. It does have petrolatum, you can try using this on your face as a facial moisturizer if you find that the oat gel moisturizer is too expensive."

NEW COSTCO SKINCARE 🛍 TRYING THE SOL DE JANIERO DUPE @DrDrayzday

"I currently have the Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion in action in my skincare routine, it's free of fragrance, it's not greasy, it's just a very basic moisturizer that absorbs very quickly. It has prebiotic oat, which is anti-inflammatory and packed with humectants as well as antioxidants from avenanthramides. Oat is a really powerful ingredient and is wonderful for very sensitive dry skin, good for eczema."

NEW SKIN CARE AT COSTCO 🛍 DERMATOLOGIST @DrDrayzday

"This Aveeno daily moisturizing lotion [...] is a good one. Aveeno makes many good body moisturizers, and their thing is colloidal oats in their skin care products, which are wonderful moisturizing ingredients. Oats have beta glucan, which is a humectant, and avenanthramides, which are antioxidants that can help reduce oxidative stress. They're helpful for barrier recovery, so there are numerous wonderful benefits with oats [...] in the daily moisturizing lotion."

"If you have eczema, turn to Aveeno lotions because they're enriched with oat technology. They have colloidal oat, which is known to be soothing, especially for inflamed skin from eczema."

"It contains dimethicone, 1.2%. I have a difficult time with any kind of skincare product that contains silicone or some kind of a cone in it. It can be really, really great, it's a great ingredient, it's great for skin, especially for people who tend to be a little bit more on the oily side but need that hydration. However, the combination of the cone in the Aveeno moisturizer and the E.L.F. Power Grip Primer to me sounds like a bad combo. It feels like that's where we're going wrong."
