Kate  - 29 -   2010-10-26 01:46:33 Positively radiant tinted moisturiser This product is a great sheer finish makeup substitute - I have started using it as a substitute for makeup during the weekends. When you dispense it and start putting it on it feels like its going to end up looking like quite a heavy finish but it doesn't - it is really sheer and helps to even skintone although I still needed a concealer for my under eyes and darker blemishes. The sun protection in it (SPF30) means that I was able to wear it over the sunny Labour weekend without anything else and not get burnt. And it stays put - I didn't have any problems with it stinging my eyes later in the day (as often happens with sunscreen products but I haven't tried it in the water yet.) It's not oily at all, in fact I have combination skin and found that I still need to put my moisturiser on underneath otherwise it dried out my skin in the patches that were prone to dryness. I found applying it with my fingers best (I tried applying it with a foundation brush but it didn't blend in as well). Hopefully they bring out more variatons in colour as there are only two currently. Sunblock This is great - non greasy and application in the morning kept me protected all day.

Chanelle  - 26 -   2010-10-26 04:21:22 I enjoyed these products - not greasy, no overpowering smell and best of all, didn't affect my sensitive skin.

Christine  - 19 -   2010-10-26 05:45:43 I absolutely loved the sunscreen, it smells great (my whole family thinks so), is nice and light and doesn't make me feel like a sticky mess like sunscreen very often does. I also like that it doesn't leave a white cast on me at all (although I am very pale anyway)so overall very happy with the sunscreen. The tinted moisturiser I was less happy with but mostly because I have very oily skin and this is very moisturising, which would be great for people with very dry skin. Also I am quite pale and the lightest tint was slightly too dark for me. I did love the coverage, very good for a tinted moisturiser so overall if you're looking for a reasonably priced, nicely moisturising one I would try this - just not if you are extremely pale or very oily.

Jess  - 23 -   2010-10-26 06:19:49 Hi there! I enjoyed using the body sunblock lotion - it was super easy to spread, has a nice smell and didn't feel sticky once it was applied at ALL. I would definitely recommend it! The tinted moisturiser wasn't so great; I used the fair-to-light tint, and found that the texture felt almost a bit grainy (??) when I applied it. The shade wasn't exactly right for me either, cos I have more neutral undertones than the moisturiser which I thought was slightly on the pink-ish side. On the plus side, I loved the high SPF, so despite not loving the texture or tint i'll keep using the bottle til it's finished. In summary, the sunblock lotion was a winner (5/5), but the facial moisturiser was only average, so earns a 3/5.

Ashleigh  - 21 -   2010-10-28 05:15:57 I did like the tinted moisturiser but the medium tone would have been better as the light one is too light for me. I did find nearing late afternoon it was looking a little like it was sliding off so i think for me this one will be better in winter where my face wont be sweating as much so will sit good all day long. It did cover my face like a foundation so i liked that.

Cassandra  - 22 -   2010-10-28 05:24:39 This is a great sunblock. It is not too thick and heavy and doesnt leave you looking white (as I find some sunblocks leave you with a white tinge). I wouldn't use it on my face as I feel it is too thick for my skin (I have a combination skin type) but it is great for the rest of your body. It protected me really well in the sun. The Tinted Moisturizer was a great product too. I found it to be a nice coverage for a tinted moisturizer (a lot I have tried seem like they are not tinted at all once applied). I like that it has an SPF 30 sunscreen (great especially for summer). I found it to be a little too thick for a whole summer day (as my skin is combination). Would be better for me in autumn/winter when my skin is a little drier.

Tania  - 30 -   2010-10-29 21:13:58 LOVE this sunscreen. I used it when I spent all of Labour Weekend in the sun and it did it's job - no sunburn. It went on very smoothly, wasn't greasy and a little went a long way which is important when considering value for money. I will definitely be buying more! I wasn't as keen on the tinted moisturiser (medium tint). It had an unpleasant smell, required A LOT of blending and irritated my skin. I only used it twice a week ago but I've still got dry skin. I probably wouldn't buy the moisturiser again.

Stephanie  - 30 -   2010-10-29 21:56:10 Sunscreen: I enjoyed using this product, it smelt nice and absorbed into my skin well. The size of the container is great and it's easy to squeeze. It's also great that the protection is 55 as I have sensitive skin and I'm pregnant so I'm more likely to get burnt in the sun. Really enjoyed using this product and would definently recommend and use again. Tinted moisturizer: Great product, suited my skin well and it didn't look like I was wearing makeup. Great that the product has been developed to be a face moisturisor as well as having sun protection. I liked the packaging and the applicator, and would recommend this product and use again.

Chloe  - 22 -   2010-10-30 05:44:18 This sunscreen is more like a moisturizer, making it more appealing to wear every day. It absorbs into the skin easily, non greasy, light weight and a nice neutral scent. I will continue to wear throughout the summer, but the true test will be the mid summer sun and heat. I get the feeling that because it is so lightweight it would need to be applied several times throughout the day during summer. I had the medium tinted moisturizer, and the colour matched really well. However the thickness of the moisturizer was disappointing and surprised me compared to the thickness of body sunscreen product. This moisturiser felt more like sunblock. Only a small amount was needed but it took a long time to rub in and settle before I could apply powder on top. I have combination skin, so the thickness and the glittery pigments were not suitable for the dry patches on my face making the problem worse. So I recommend this product for normal skin only. Considering the RRP I would not buy again, and won't finish the bottle.(2)

Tracey  - 23 -   2010-10-31 06:01:49 Both products were easy to apply, smelt great and were easily absorbed. I would purchase them in the future.

Julie-anne  - 31 -   2010-10-31 08:19:18 Sunscreen - I found that you don't need to use much as it is quite thick, went on nice, and was not greasy at all, I didn't need to reapply for quite a few hours after, definetly would recommend. Tinted Moisturiser - You definetly get your money's worth with this as there is a lot of colour in the tint which means you wouldn't have to apply any foundation. Went on nicely and absorbed quickly into your skin.I have quite sensitive skin and both products were fine for my skin. Would highly recommend both products.

Amanda  - 33 -   2010-11-01 01:25:51 High sun protection factor, nice texture and easily applied. Plesant fragrance and no greasy after effects. Would purchase and use again.

Veema  - 24 -   2010-11-01 04:51:03 Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturiser: I liked this product. It was very light and went on smoothly. I wore this to the office and found that my skin did not dry out by the afternoon. No patchy flakes! In terms of coverage, it's not as good as foundation. I would recommend this product for days were you don't want to wear lots of product and weekends. Good moisturiser. 3.5/5 Aveeno Continuous Protection Sun Care: I really liked this sunscreen. It absorbed quickly and there was no sticky after feeling that most sunscreens leave behind. No icky chemical smell too. I was able to put my clothes on straight away after application. I felt that it protected well and I didn't burn. I will definitely be using this over summer. 5/5

Emma  - 27 -   2010-11-03 02:55:58 I received the Aveeno Positively Radiant tinted moisturiser in the fair to light colour. It felt lovely when I put it on my skin and definitely gave my skin a nice glow. Unfortunately when I woke up the next morning I had had an allergic reaction to it. I have had a reaction like this to a tinted moisturiser many years ago so I should have known better and done a patch test first (I use the normal Aveeno moisturiser every day so I must be allergic to something in the tint). I am really disappointed as I really liked the product up until that point and would have continued using it as it was nice to have a bit of coverage without having to put makeup on. The Aveeno Continuous Protection Sun Care lotion was a good product as well. It was quite thick but wasn't too hard to rub in (especially for an SPF 55) and my skin felt really soft (but wasn't greasy) afterwards. I was out in the sun for a few hours and didn't get burnt so it seems to have good sun protection. I would be interested to find out if it comes in a larger bottle because I use a lot of sunscreen over the summer so would probably go through this bottle quite quickly!

Vaish  - 20 -   2010-11-03 03:48:34 When I first started using Aveeno Continuous protection Sunblock lotion I was a bit apprehensive of the oiliness of the product as I'm not fond of stickiness in lotions. But the Aveeno lotion felt light and did not have much of a sticky feel to it. Usually I feel a prickly sensation on my skin in the sun but after using this sunblock I did not feel any sense of prickliness or irritation. It is one of the best sun protection lotions I have used! And I recommend it to all skin types. The positively radiant tinted moisturiser was a bit more heavier because of the tinted feature. I found it a little bit caky initially but then after a week of using the lotion I saw a slight glow. Thrilled about that!True to its word it did brighten my skin. And being SP30 sun protectant its even better because you do not have to have an additional sunblock. The positively Radiant lotion is all in one!

Jo  - 40 -   2010-11-03 06:47:56 I was mostly happy with the tinted moisturiser product, the only thing I didn't like was the consistency. It was very thick so putting it onto your skin took a lot of work. Other than that I would say that the coverage was good, didn't give you that real made up look which you don't want during the day. The sunscreen was really good. The consistency was perfect and it wasn't sticky like some sunscreens can be. It had a nice aroma that was not to overpowering. When I did get to try the product in the sun thanks to our lovely and unpredictable weather I found that it protected my skin nicely.

Kathy  - 36 -   2010-11-04 02:09:05 I love the tinted moisturiser. It goes on really nicely. I had stopped using my separate moisteriser and fountation and now just use this one product. It is also great that it is SPF30. Love it! The Aveeno Continuous Protection is good too. It is non greasy and seems to stay on for ever. Would definitely purchase both of these again and have already recommended to several people.

Nikki  - 23 -   2010-11-04 22:53:27 Great products - the sunscreen was easy to apply and the product rubs in really well! It doesn't leave you white at all. Plus it smells great :) I will definitely be wearing this sunscreen this summer! I received the Fair to Light Tinted moisturizer which was perfect for my pasty skin and I didn't need to put make up on at all which was a bonus. I didn't really like the smell of it though.

Rebecca  - 34 -   2010-10-29 09:26:02 AVEENO CONTINUOUS PROTECTION Sun Care: lovely light scent, absorbs easily with no greasy after-feel. Would buy again. AVEENO POSITIVELY RADIANT Tinted Moisturiser SPF 30: fair-to-light shade is a perfect match for me. It gives heavier coverage than other brands, which I really liked. Moisturizer absorbs nicely leaving an even matte finish. Only downside is a slightly odd smell, almost rubbery.

Michelle  - 24 -   2010-11-04 04:19:18 AVEENO POSITIVELY RADIANT Tinted Moisturiser SPF 30. This moisturiser is great. I used the fair to light tint and it was perfect for my skin. I didn't like the smell at first, but could only smell it as I put it on, so it wasn't really a problem. The coverage was great, and it left my skin feeling nice all day - not even getting oily like I have found with other moisturisers. Even better is the SPF30 included as I don't like using sunscreen on my face, but this kept me from getting burnt even over Labour Weekend. AVEENO CONTINUOUS PROTECTION Sun Care This sun cream is great - easy to apply and absorbs well and isn't greasy afterwards. Great size as well to take with you on a day out in the sun. I would definitely recommend this, and will be buying more after I have used up all the sample bottle.

Lou  - 29 -   2010-11-04 07:07:31 AVEENO CONTINUOUS PROTECTION Sun Care: Absolutely loved this stuff! We all know how important sun protection is and this sunblock lived up to its promises. It had a great finish and was not at all greasy, absorbed quickly and seemed to last really well. It also had a lovely slight sparkle to it. AVEENO POSITIVELY RADIANT - Tinted Moisturiser SPF 30: Again, this product was really good. The fair tint was actually a shade suitable for fair skin - so many tinted moisturisers are way too dark for my skin, especially at the beginning of summer. The finish was pretty, with a lovely shimmer. I prefer more coverage than just tinted moisturiser alone, so I used this as a base for foundation, and it was great. The finish was really good and not at all greasy. The pump-style bottle was good for no mess delivery, but it would have been even better if it also had a cap, as I often like to throw a tinted sunblock/moisturiser into my bag in summer, and I'd worry this one might end up everywhere.

Lucy  - 16 -   2010-11-11 00:09:05 Sunscreen - I really love the sunblock! :) Very important to be, especially being a very pale person living in New Zealand. Though it does have a sunblocky smell, unlike other Aveeno products that I have tried which are unperfumed. The sunblock is not at all greasy or oily, and doesn't leave much of a residue. It seems to last a good length of time and doesn't make my skin look bright white (I could even use it on my face). Nice packaging too, I would definitely recommend/buy, though I do prefer the Neutrogena AgeSheild. Tinted Moisturiser - Is nicely packaged and typical unperfumed Aveeno. Unfortunately, used by itself, the fair/light shade is noticeably too dark for my skin (very pale, lightest shade Maybelline). I can mix it with some of my usual moisturiser to make it lighter, and that looks OK, but obviously has less coverage that using by itself, just makes my skin look a bit more radiant. I'd just stick to my usual Ultra Calm or Positively Radiant moisturiser instead of purchasing this one.

Amy Martin   2011-12-08 08:54:14 AVEENO POSITIVELY RADIANT - Tinted Moisturiser SPF 30: i love this product! it gave my skin a nice and even natural looking glow and it didn't feel to heavy on my skin.
