Sometimes, it can be tough to know when a company is lying with its marketing. The world of cosmetics is no exception, in fact, sometimes it's one of the biggest culprits. So I've made it my mission to provide the most unbiased information out there and to "fact check" their products. Today, I'll be painting a complete picture of the Tinted Moisturizer from Aveeno's Positively Radiant line of skin care products.
I'll start by examining some of the negative qualities of this product. First, let me state that this product is probably not right for you if you have greasy skin. That's because this moisturizer will just exacerbate your problem; it definitely runs on the greasy side.
Something else that might bother you is how Aveeno makes this product "Positively Radiant." Let me put it to you with a question: Have you always dreamed of being Tinker bell and having shiny skin? If so, you'll probably enjoy the glittery effect this tinted moisturizer gives your skin when you see it up close. If not, you might not like it.
And the final negative thing I want to warn you about is the slight smell. That's right, it has an odor that is similar to sunblock. People with noses as sensitive as basset hounds absolutely hate this smell. Consider yourself warned!
Are there redeeming qualities to this product? Yes, absolutely. For starters, it does its job as a moisturizer-it really does make your skin look smoother and fresher. Also, it'll give your face a little color, but isn't as heavy as foundation. The nice thing is you can buy it in two different shades depending on your skin tone: Fair to Light for the pasty folk in the world; and Medium for everybody else.
If you're the outdoorsy type, you'll probably appreciate the fact the it gives you extra sun protection. That's right, the SPF 30 does a really nice job of protecting your face. This is a great summer moisturizer because serves both purposes well.
Something else that most people overlook is the convenience of the bottle. It has a spout that gives you the same amount of cream each time you use it so you don't waste it long term. It also is super-handy for travel because you can "lock" the bottle and store it safely in your luggage.
The bottom-line is that it's a pretty nice product all around. It isn't for everyone because of the grease factor, the shininess, and the pungent odor. If those three things aren't big dealbreakers, you might really like how this product makes your skin look and feel. It does run a little pricier than some other store-bought tinted moisturizers, but it makes up for that in overall quality.
