What is Aveeno Skin Relief Lotion?
Aveeno Skin Relief Lotion is a moisturising body lotion designed to intensely hydrate and soothe very dry, irritated, or sensitive skin, especially skin that feels tight or uncomfortable rather than mildly dry.
It contains a Triple Oat Complex and shea butter to help support the skin barrier, restore comfort, and improve smoothness. It is unscented and made to be suitable for sensitive skin, with a fast-absorbing, non-greasy finish.
Who is Aveeno Skin Relief Lotion suitable for?
Aveeno Skin Relief Lotion is suitable for adults and is generally suitable for adolescents with very dry or sensitive skin.
It is commonly used for:
- Very dry, itchy, sensitive, or irritated skin
- Skin that feels tight or uncomfortable after bathing, weather exposure, or frequent washing
- Rough patches and dryness on areas such as arms, legs, and body
Do not use it if you are allergic to any of the ingredients. If you have broken skin, bleeding cracks, or signs of infection, seek advice from a healthcare professional.
How to use Aveeno Skin Relief Lotion

Side effects
Most people tolerate moisturisers well. Some people may notice:
- A richer feel on the skin due to the more emollient formula
- A heavy feeling if applied too thickly or used on normal skin
Stop using and seek medical advice if you develop redness, swelling, rash, or worsening irritation.
