What they liked

Thick occlusive cream that traps moisture
Short ingredient list, tested on sensitive skin

What they flagged

Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

What the gurus are saying

The oat kernel and extract here work through compounds called avenanthramides, antioxidants that help rebuild the skin barrier and calm dryness and irritation. It's been tested on oncology patients, so it's exceptionally gentle even for sensitive skin. The short ingredient list packs petrolatum and glycerin in a thick formula that seals in moisture and supports barrier recovery.

DRUGSTORE PRODUCTS THAT FIGHT BODY ODOR 😓 DERMATOLOGIST @DrDrayzday

"This is one of my favorite body washes, the Aveeno Restorative Skin Therapy. It's very mild, it's a good option, but if you like a scented body wash you're not going to enjoy it."

MUST HAVE MOISTURIZERS FOR WINTER | Dr Dray

"I discovered this cream last year and I love it. Both the wash and the cream were tested on oncology patients undergoing cancer treatment, so they're very sensitive skin friendly. It has oat kernel flour and oat extract with avenanthramides which are antioxidants that help with skin barrier recovery, petrolatum which is the gold standard occlusive, and glycerin for supporting moisture barrier recovery. I even comfortably wear this on my face. The ingredient list is very short and it does a really good job with reducing dryness and irritation."

ALL THE EMPTIES! SKIN CARE & HAIR PRODUCTS I FINISHED | Dr Dray

"This was so exciting for a moisturizer. It's a nice thick occlusive cream consistency that's great for trapping in water into the skin and keeping it hydrated. It has prebiotic oat which may help support the health of your skin microbiome. Oats are wonderful sources of antioxidants with compounds like avenanthramides that can fight off oxidative stress that damages proteins and DNA in your skin cells. I really love this product and this whole Restorative Skin Therapy line by Aveeno."

Body Skincare w. Retinol, Niacinamide, AHAs, & More! | Dr. Shereene Idriss

"The Aveeno Restorative Skin Therapy has panthenol as well as colloidal oatmeal in it and this is a really really nice one if you have an inflamed skin barrier, not just eczema, or if you're undergoing some sort of treatment that is breaking your skin down, or the winter is just insane, or if you live in a dry climate like Utah."

What the evidence says.

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

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
