With at least one more big beach weekend coming up (and more if you live in the warm parts of the world), here’s a quick review of yet another sunscreen that I picked up a couple of weeks ago: Aveeno Protect + Hydrate Lotion Sunscreen SPF 70.
I have so many sunscreens. Why do I need another one, you ask? Because this one is a multitasking sunscreen and body lotion, that’s why!
I found that I was often lazy about putting sunscreen on my body when I went out for a jog or even to the beach. I bought Aveeno Protect + Hydrate Lotion Sunscreen because it’s a body lotion and sunscreen in one. So much easier! I take a shower and put it on instead of my regular body lotion if I know I’m heading outdoors. It hydrates my skin and protects it at the same time. Done!
Although it says that you can use this on your face, I don’t. I have other even lighter weight sunscreens or moisturizers with SPF specially created for the face. A couple of folks who reviewed the product on the Aveeno website said it stung their eyes. I bought it as a body lotion/sunscreen.
I must really like this stuff because I bought it less than 3 weeks ago, and I’ve only got about a quarter of the tube left. Aveeno Protect + Hydrate Lotion Sunscreen SPF 70 comes in a 3 oz. tube. It has a slight floral-ish scent that isn’t objectionable. The lotion is white and medium weight, but it rubs in easily and isn’t sticky but leaves a light barrier on my skin. It’s oil-free and non-comedogenic. Like any sunscreen, it should be reapplied after 80 minutes or after going in the water. Broad spectrum, dermatologist recommended. I bought the SPF 70, but it also comes in SPF 50 and 30 if you don’t need as much coverage. The MSRP is $10.99. I bought mine at CVS but it’s widely available.
Here’s the complete ingredient list –
Have a great Labor Day Weekend if you’re in the U.S. and enjoy the end of summer if you’re in the Western hemisphere!
I love Aveeno. They have an eczema therapy cream that works wonders for my eczema. This looks like a great sunscreen!

I have the eczema therapy cream too. The body lotion/sunscreen is great for lazy women like me!
Sounds like a nice sunscreen, but I prefer bigger sizes because we use a lot of body sunscreen in the house! 🙂 Hope you have a great weekend!

I know what you mean, Kristina! This wouldn’t last the weekend in a family household! The natural ingredients and the high spf make this a great family sunscreen, but it was the body lotion/hydration multitasking benefit that got me to buy this since it’s a bit pricey for the size. They may have larger sizes for this sunscreen, but I think it’s really a dry skin lotion/sunscreen for women with dry skin mostly.
I absolutely LOVE Aveeno! It’s the only body lotion I use. I have this sunscreen too, but I don’t use it as much because it drys a bit chalky on my skin.

No kidding? I guess I’m lucky that it rubs in clear.
Wow, you really have used a lot– this is quite a ringing endorsement, and that means I NEED IT! I love that it is an SPF 70! Excellent review, as always Allison!

Thank you, Helen! I’m just lazy so it was easier to use this two-in-one 🙂 But it has gone quickly!
Good sunscreen is a necessity, year round. 😀

I wear SPF year round. I love that this is SPF 70

I was looking for a high SPF so I was happy to find this. Plus the body lotion/sunscreen combo is great
I like Aveeno, but I haven’t tried their sunscreens. I’ll have to check them out, especially since it’s still in triple digits in south florida. Oh, how I miss northeastern falls!

I’ll trade ya. It gets very depressing here in the fall once it starts getting cold and dark in October and the leaves are gone. And it sometimes snows in October.
Aveeno is a great brand!
Whoa, there’s an SPF 70?? I want to check this out! I LOVE my Aveeno Sunscreen! and like you I only use it on my body – I break out too easily to use the same product on my face as on my body!

Absolutely! spf 70 rocks!
I have a few loves from Aveeno but I wish they’d make more fragrance free products. I use their Daily Moisturizing Fragrance Free Lotion on my body very often.

Hmmm, interesting, Marcia. Because you’ve brought up fragrance before, I did sniff this one. There is a faint scent that fades on application. But yes, fragrance-free options are always good for a skincare product.
I love Aveeno it use to be all that I would buy, until blogging took over heheh

Hahaha, I know what you mean!
SPF is a must for me. I use SPF50 practically everyday and switch to 30 in the winter. My skin is very sensitive and SPF is something that protects me. I’m prone to redness and since using SPF everyday my skin has been better.

So good to hear. I agree SPF is a must year-round!
SPF 70, sign me up!

In addition to the multitasking benefit, the 70 spf was what got my attention!
Cant believe fall almost is upon us! I am going to look into this for my kids, it sounds fantastic.

Here, it’s getting cold at night and dark so much earlier. I’m crying. But luckily the days have still been nice and sunny. Yes, still sunscreen weather. This is a good one for kids because of the SPF 70. It’s good for me because I need the hydration as well as the sunscreen.
Aveeno is the best! Love them.

Oh, I know. I’ve really been into sunscreens this summer, but I’ve discovered some really good ones and all different kinds!
I absolutely adore the Aveeno brand and their sunscreens are a real favorite. Can’t believe I haven’t heard of this before now, thanks for the review!

Love the multi-tasking aspect of this one. I just learned about it recently myself.
Aren’t sunblock lotions the best? I’ve been using Solscents scented spf lotions all summer and they’re fantastic! Because who wants to wear multiple products in the summer?

I don’t know Solscents, Sammi, but I’ll look for it. I agree completely. Less is more
I’m such a fan of Aveeno and love the SPF products they have. Such a great selection.

You’re right about the large selection! I was amazed at it when I was at the store
Good way to get your sunscreen easier! SPF 70 should do the trick.

This is fabulous! I like to keep it with me and dab it under my eyes because I have those melasma spots and I’m paranoid about extra coverage there.
Brooke @ Blushing Noir recently posted…How to Blow Dry Your Hair
That’s great that you can wear it near your eyes with no issues. Definitely good to have extra coverages around your eyes
I love Aveeno products for their skincare and baby products that I still used on my child who is living with eczema! They are great drugstore brand to use all year long! 🙂

I have the eczema lotion as well. Yes, they make great skincare products for the whole family!
