Aveeno Calm + Restore Skin Therapy Balm, 1.7 oz — Soothing Colloidal Oatmeal & Ceramides for Sensitive Skin

Aveeno Calm + Restore Skin Therapy Balm is a fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested face balm that soothes dry, sensitive skin with colloidal oatmeal and ceramides while supporting the skin’s moisture barrier.

This compact 1.7-ounce balm combines a Triple Oat Complex (oat extract, colloidal oatmeal and oat oil) with ceramides to hydrate and comfort irritated areas without fragrances, steroids, parabens, phthalates, dyes, or alcohol. Formulated for sensitive skin and non-comedogenic, the balm is made to be gentle enough for daily use while helping skin look less red, rough, flaky, tight, or scaled. The texture is rich but absorbs without leaving a greasy film, making it suitable for targeted dry patches on face and body.

How does this balm calm redness and dryness?

The Triple Oat Complex delivers soothing botanicals and colloidal particles that calm visible dryness and reduce the sensation of tightness. Ceramides work alongside these oat-derived ingredients to help replenish lipids that keep skin hydrated.

• Colloidal oatmeal soothes irritation and forms a protective moisturizing layer
• Oat oil nourishes and helps skin feel softer
• Ceramides support the skin’s natural barrier to retain moisture
• Fragrance- and steroid-free formula reduces risk of further irritation

Will this balm clog pores or feel heavy on the skin?

No—Aveeno Calm + Restore is non-comedogenic and designed to absorb without leaving a pore-blocking residue. The balm’s emollient-rich yet non-greasy finish suits spot treatment for dry patches as well as light all-over facial use.

• Non-comedogenic formulation keeps pores clear
• Rich texture that blends in instead of sitting on the surface
• Suitable under makeup when applied sparingly to dry areas
• Safe for sensitive skin, tested by dermatologists

How long does hydration last after applying the balm?

The combination of occlusive and barrier-supporting ingredients helps skin retain moisture for extended periods. Many users report continued comfort and reduced flaking for up to 24 hours when applied to especially dry or compromised areas.

• Colloidal oatmeal and oat oil provide immediate soothing and hydration
• Ceramides work to lock in moisture and protect against transepidermal water loss
• Ideal for overnight repair or morning application for day-long comfort
• Works well with regular skincare routines to maintain softness

Can I use this on skin prone to eczema or frequent irritation?

The balm is formulated to be gentle and is suitable for skin that experiences minor rashes, dryness, or eczema-prone irritation. It provides temporary protection and symptomatic relief, but should be used alongside guidance from a healthcare provider for severe or persistent conditions.

• Helps relieve minor irritation and protects dry patches
• Hypoallergenic and free from common irritants like fragrances and dyes
• Dermatologist-tested for sensitive skin
• Not a replacement for prescription treatments for severe eczema

Who is this for: Aveeno Calm + Restore Skin Therapy Balm is best for people with dry, sensitive skin seeking a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer that targets rough patches, redness, and flaking. It's a solid choice for those who prefer oat-based natural soothing agents combined with barrier-supporting ceramides, and for anyone wanting a non-comedogenic option suitable for daily spot care on face and body.
