This used to be my favorite lotion ever however it is no longer rich yet lightweight and absorbent with such a soft and balanced scent. Now its slimy and sticky and smells like every other artificial lavender drug store product. Essentially, Aveeno has become a whole new company with subpar products.

New stress relief smells incredibly artificial and perfumed. It doesnt leave my skin soft or hydrated at all. The old formula was lightweight, yet still rich and absorbent and smelled wonderful. However, this replacement is horrendous. Come on Aveeno!

I have been using Aveeno Stress Relief lotion and body wash daily for years, maybe even a decade. Both products were perfect in every way. The body wash remains a staple in my shower however, I recently purchased a bottle of Stress Relief lotion (my stockpile had run out) and when I initially applied it, I thought that it had expired and gone rancid. To my horror, it hadn’t expired. What I was smelling was the new scent. I can’t use it. It smells sweet and cheap like others have commented. The original formula had an amazing light, calming, and fresh scent. This new scent is offensive to the olfactory cells. Sadly, I am now on the hunt to find a new brand. So, so sad.

This has been my go to lotion for years. The amazing yet subtle lavender scent has helped me tremendously. The new formula isn’t just a “new look,” there’s been a product change, and it’s so disappointing. I don’t know if it was adding oat or what was changed, but this new formula is more like cocoa butter than a lavender lotion. Please bring back the original!

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.

New lotion is nothing like it used to be. Smells so bad that I'm just throwing away the bottle. I hope Aveeno finally listens to their customers and gets it together because this new rebranding feels like a mid-life crisis that we are all waiting to be over.

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!

This used to be my favorite lotion but the new formula/scent makes me ill. It no longer smells remotely like lavender or anything in the natural world whatsoever. It's also sickeningly strong, I had to wash it off my skin right after putting it on because I got an immediate headache (and I'm not scent-sensitive at all, I love fragrance and perfume). The best way I can describe the new scent is that it smells like the worst brand of laundry detergent. What did you do Aveeno, I trusted you! Oh well, I'll be switching to another brand.

I am so saddened by the complete change in the Stress Relief lotion. No longer smells fresh and soft. Without the ylang ylang and chamomile, along with the other reformulated properties, I will sadly no longer be purchasing this lotion. Which is a shame because I've been using it for at least the past 10 years :(

I've been a loyal fan of the Aveeno Calming Moisturizer for years. Years! I thought maybe I'd made a mistake and bought the wrong scent when I came home with my 2 massive jugs of this stuff. It smells like sour plastic with a faint scent of lavender. It is just not at all as pleasing as the old formulation that included chamomile and ylang ylang. I wish they wouldn't have monkeyed with such a superior product. Another case of ruining a product on the quest for a great profit margin, I guess. Not buying this again, but will keep checking the labels in hopes they come to their senses and return to the old formula.
