This was my go to lotion for the way it applied, absorbed and smelled pleasant, had no clue the formula was changed and had honestly thought my scent was off, then to realize it didn’t apply as easy. Looked up online and lo and behold I knew something was off, please Avenno bring back the original formula!!

Have been a faithful Aveeno Calming Stress Relief lavender Lotion user for years. The old formula had chamomile and ylang-ylang and smelled lovely. Used it every night before bed and really helped relax me. This new formula (with the brown lid) no longer has the chamomile and ylang-ylang and the lavender scent is completely different. It smells terrible now!!! I can't express enough how completely disappointed I am that this wonderful product has been ruined for what seems like no reason. Why change??? It was so good beforehand. Please go back to the old formula. I won't be buying anything from this company anymore unless they go back.

This new formula is absolutely awful. It smells like highly-synthetic perfume and feels sticky and tacky, like it just sits there on your skin until you wash it off. Aveeno took out the Chamomile and Ylang-Ylang and just ruined the whole product. Will no longer be purchasing the one product that has been a staple of mine for 15 years. I no longer trust Aveeno.

I hate this stuff. I'd use it in a pinch for my dry hands, but it leaves an annoying waxy residue and my hands are still not all that moisturized. Smell really strong, which is good if you like the smell. I find it too strong, so it's an additional reminder that 'wow, I really hate this smelly, waxy and ineffective lotion.'

I have sensitive skin, and in the winter my skin gets really dry and itchy. I've used Aveeno for years, but only the fragrance-free lotions. I decided to give the Stress Relief one a try (mainly because of the awesome scents it has) and I put it on right after a bath last night. I'm in love with it already! I love the way it smells, the scent of it is alluring and overpowering, and as time passes the scent starts to fade away, but it's essence is still there! Also, my entire body feels smooth, soft, hydrated, and not itchy at all. I don't know for sure if the stress-relieving properties take place, but I do know that I don't feel stressed at all; I guess I'll find out. I love this lotion!

I LOVED the old formula of the Lavender Stress Relief Lotion but I was running low and bought a new bottle. It smells completely different and reminiscent of baby wipes? The old scent was quite pleasant with lavender, ylang ylang, and camomile. The effect is different as well. The old formula felt cooling on my sensitive skin whereas the new formula didn't have this effect and felt slightly strange on my skin. Do not recommend.

I’ve used this for years. Why did you change the smell? I am sensitive to smells and this one always smells so wonderful. I’ve used all of the Aveeno lotion‘s. I have sensitive skin and it worked the best for me. I can’t stand the new smell. When I noticed, they changed the bottle smell I started buying any of the old ones I could find. I only have a few bottles. I don’t know what to do. Why such a drastic change After all of these years.

I used to love this lotion- especially for the scent. The new look is not just the packaging, it's a completely different lotion. It smells so bad and artificial. The old scent was so well balanced and delicate but the new fragrance is harsh and chemical-like. Even worse, it feels totally different too. It's not as hydrating. I will not be purchasing again.

Not a lot of happy customers from this formula. If you have sensitive skin like myself, please avoid (the new formula causes irritation). My dermatologist advised me to stay away from Aveeno products for now (apparently, not just this specific product). A friend of mine was also advised the same. As other reviews said, the quality is very low and it has horrible smell. Complaints about this new formula from other platforms as well. I'm pretty sure Aveeno there are substantial returns because of this change.

I have used Aveeno stress relieving lotion for years. I used to love it. I always buy it in the travel size for when I travel as well. This time the packaging changed and the cap is now brown. No worries if that was all that changed. However, it seems they changed the formula and it smells horrendous!! It is a heavy chemical/ perfume smell. It is no longer a relaxing and light lavender smell but instead you can smell the chemicals. It is garbage!! It does nothing to moisturize my hands and in fact makes them drier and more chapped. I implore you Aveeno, please bring back the original formula. Please stop messing with a successful product. If this terrible formulation is here to stay you’ve permanently lost a loyal customer.
