I'm very sensitive to scents and have purchased the Lotion with Lavender, Natural Oatmeal and Chamomile & Ylang-Ylang Essential Oils product for years because I truly liked the smell and it was a wonderful moisturizer leaving the skin soft. However, this new formula and scent are not even close to the old one and I do not find it remotely appealing. I will no longer buy this product. AVEENO, PLEASE RECONSIDER YOUR DECISION. PLEASE BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL FORMULA OF STRESS RELIEF LOTION, THAT WAS JUST PERFECT. Why to change something that was working so well?

I’m so disappointed with the new formula. Why change something so many people loved. I can’t even use the new one. It is so stinky, smells like old rancid perfume and it burns my skin. The old one was so subtle and pleasant and gave instant relief. Please please change it back. I can’t use this new one!!!! I use to recommend this to everyone, can’t do it anymore. Used for years and years. 😞

It has been difficult in this poor economy to find work to be the family man I desire to be. In the mean time it has helped me relax and be less angry living with family members. The three year study has satisfied my creativity. Although I never got to know anyone in college, to lower stress to complete classes, it was nice to have a product that oily enough to wash away, but chalky enough to hold consistency for in between bathing periods.

I've been using this product for a few years now. I tried to switch over to a different moisturizing product and broke out all over my legs after shaving. It was terrible. I love to use this product after showering and I feel that it leaves my skin soft long after I apply it. The lotion goes on thick so I make sure to work it into my skin. I highly recommend this, especially since I tried to switch products and it wasn't a very good idea. Thanks Aveeno!

I bought a new, big bottle of this lotion to replace my last bottle which I used up. They may say the new formula is to accommodate sensitive skin, but that's an absolute joke. It's obviously thinner consistency, no longer smells nice (lavender and chamomile is replaced by "lavender scented"), no longer actually moisturizes skin the way it did. Super sad, as this was one of the few products on the shelves that was really great. I will use up this bottle (quickly, as it no longer works like it used to) abd never buy it again. Telling people the noticable reduction in quality is to accommodate sensitive skin is ridiculous. If someone has sensitive skin, they use unscented lotion. It's very obviously to create a product that's cheaper to produce. Why would I spend more money for lotion that's the same quality as the cheap stuff? Do better, Aveeno. You lost my business.

I’ve used this lotion for at least 7 years. I bought a new bottle over the weekend and started to use it this morning and realized this is a new formula that reminds me of the non-toxic bug sprays. Gross! They also stopped making the positively nourishing body wash and the lavender wash they have available now is garbage. This long term aveeno customer is moving on. Bad move, aveeno.

I have to weigh in. Aveeno is a trusted brand, with dermatologists recommending their products. “If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It”. Was actually very surprised to see this change. The new formula is definitely not as good. I was forced to buy the new product, and realized immediately it was different and sub-par to the original formula. Next time I was at the store, their happened to be an old firmula bottle. Way, way superior formula in every way….Just -WHY- would be my question? Shortage of ingredients or just trying to make more $$$$ substituting cheaper ingredients? Sad that a company trusted by physicians would throw a wrench into people’s skin care. Most people using Aveeno -NEED- to use their particular formula, and may be the only thing that keeps them from breaking out, or other medical issues with their skin. Breaks trust with the customers, as I see with the many many comments on the internet about this change. Not a fan of the “new” formula.Seems like a cheap substitute of the old one. “New Coke” didn’t work out for Coca-Cola either…. Google it if you’re too young to remember. I used to trust Aveeno but now not so sure…really disappointing decision to change trusted ingredients to inferior formulas.

I had used this lotion for more than a year before the scent of the lotion in the larger bottles changed. The texture of the lotion has changed too, not as rich and moisturizing. The travel sizes are still the original but I’m no longer buying the large bottles, it’s not the same and smells more fake scented and chemical like. In my opinion, this lotion is now more similar to it’s cheaper competitors like Suave.

My four year old son suffered from severe eczema almost his whole life. I tried every doctor's suggestion as well as every "quack" remedy I could find and nothing made the slightest difference. Then a friend told me this lotion cleared up her daughter's eczema so I decided to try it. It was amazing! After just a few days the eczema was nearly gone. His skin is smooth again and he doesn't wake up crying and itching anymore! I know the product is not advertised to help eczema, but it sure helped my son! It also works great for me as a regular lotion. It is a nice consistency and is a great relief to my skin--I live in a very dry climate and it makes a huge difference.

I wish I would have known they changed the scent I would have saved my money and purchased something else. The new formula is not as hydrating as the old Aveeno lotion with the purple pump. Very unfortunate as this was my favorite lotion, hopefully Aveeno listens to it's loyal customers " if it ain't broke don't fix it" should have just created a new line addressing sensitive skin issues and left a classic favorite as it was. This new formulation just leaves my skin feeling sticky.
