Q: If I use this moisturizer daily in the mornings, can I use it by itself or do I need spf? If so, can I use any face spf or a face moisturizer with spf?
submitted by Lexi - 1 year ago
A: Hello there, you can use our moisturizers by themselves or with an SPF. We'd suggest trying out our Protect + Hydrate Sunscreen Broad Spectrum Face Lotion SPF 60! Thank you and let us know if you have any other questions.
submitted byJohnson & Johnson - 1 year agoBrand expertA: Hi Lexi! We recommend that everyone use SPF daily to protect their skin. It is completely up to you if you would like to use this and then apply SPF, or use a moisturizer with SPF in it. Hope this helps!

submitted by Mae - 6 years ago
A: I have very oily skin and I have used this lotion daily for years. Also, under my makeup and it does not add to the shine on my face. I do think it helps smooth my skin, I love this product!
submitted bySlor10 - 6 years agoA: Hi Mae, you can absolutely wear this moisturizer under makeup. We love recommending this moisturizer for oily skin. The oil-free formula doesn't add any extra shine, and the salicylic acid helps unblock pores.

I hate this product now. The brown cap is a new formula! It's oily, leaves your face shiny and does not pair well with makeup. BRING BACK THE OLD FORMULA PLEASE! This new formula smells like burning hair! It's disgusting. Never again!

I liked this Clear Complexion line until they combined it with the Positively Radiant line. My skin peels white residue and I use a light exfoliator when I wash, so it’s not dead skin.

I’ve used this for years. It’s the best. I have acne and sensitive skin. It doesn’t cause break outs - it helps heal and prevent them! The salicylic acid in it is also super effective and great for fighting acne. I like the soy because it’s a thicker feel moisturizer so you really feel it moisturizing your face. I use other acne products that can be drying so this moisturizer works so good to quickly overnight moisturize and repair dry skin. It absorbs into your skin, has a good smell, and doesn’t hurt eyes. I use this at night. Then I use their Aveeno radiant spf moisturizer in the morning. So good!

I’ve been using this moisturizer for years and I just switched to another brand. The updated formula has turned my oily skin dry, I’ve been breaking out a lot, and I’ve also noticed a chemical-ish smell when applying to my face. The dryness honestly became too much so I tossed mine out. This used to be so good and it was my staple for YEARSS
New bottle and New formula. Not good!!!

This is my go-to facial moisturizer. I apply twice a day every day, morning and night, each time after I wash my face. It really helps keep my acne in check and I love that there is no added sunscreen so it doesn't feel heavy on your skin.
Disappointed in the change!

Gilbert - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
This new bottle is also a completely different formula that is NOT the same as the original one. This was one of the few moisturizers I've been reliably using for years that don't make me break out. The new formula is extra greasy and I've been ignoring the signs but I've been definitely breaking out. Please use caution when buying this new formula, because it is not just a new bottle design.

Rainn - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
A lot of reviews saying they changed the product. I bought mine back in October 2022, with the previous looking bottle so idk. But if it’s the same, I love this acne moisturizer. I get occasional breakouts, & I use this as a spot treatment. The next day, I do see a BIG difference & about 2, 3 days the breakouts are gone. I do not recommend using this every day since it is kind of drying. I always use my regular moisturizer with a few drops of vitamin E oil & use this moisturizer after, only on problem areas. The bottle is pricey for the small size but since I only use as needed this bottle has lasted me months. I’ll definitely purchase again!

GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL!!!!! This moisturizer was perfect until they decided to combine the 'Positively Radiant' with the 'Clear 'Complexion'. It was perfect without the positively radiant added. Please change it back!!! I HATE this. It is now too heavy & oily for my senstive, yet acne prone skin. Any do they always change a good thing? If it isn't broke, DON'T FIX IT!!! I am really upset!!! I've been using this for years! As has my teen age daughter. It's the only thing that works, and that my make-up goes on smooth over. I tried the one with the new brown top and it isn’t good. Now we have to try to find somerhing else in a different brand. Please! Bring back the original!

Recently the formula changed and the bottle went from a green top to a brown one. I am not a fan of the new formula; it’s thicker and smells more than the original did. My face feels greasy when I apply the lotion and the original formula made my skin feel fresh and clean. I think I’m going to have to find a new daily facial moisturizer, which is really disappointing because I’ve been using this one for 10+ years. I wish they didn’t change it :(
