I have been using the Aveeno Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat Cleanser and it is great for sensitive skin. It has a smooth, creamy emulsion that spreads easily and rinses off well without residue. It absorbs quickly once rinsed, leaving the skin clean, calm, and hydrated without a greasy feel. It cleans gently, does not dry out the skin, and a small amount lasts a long time with no irritation.

I decided that I like using this cleanser as my morning cleanser because it doesn't lather and at night I like to use a cleansing balm followed by a gel cleanser that lathers to remove the day from my skin. Now having said that, I absolutely love this cleanser to start my day with. I find it very gentle and hydrating. It has a light citrusy botanical smell which I love and it's so easy to rinse of Alicia D. · beautycrew.com.au
