Aveda Inner Light Tinted Moisturizer is simply okay
Being a HUGE devotee to Aveda, when my regular Laura Mercier moisturizer ran out, I decided to pick up a tube of the Aveda Inner Light Tinted Moisturizer, it had everything I was looking for - organic, SPF of 15, great options for light skin tones. My initial use was a little uncertain - it was fairly greasy and seemed to wipe off extremely easily - even with the wipe of a tissue almost an hour after application. I wasn't sold, to say the least. However, people were actually coming up to me and complimenting my skin, a few people even said that my skin glowed! It was lovely! The color matching to my skin was flawless, even better than my previous moisturizer - I thought I had a product for life! I kept using the moisturizer every day, and as time passed, it seemed like the moisturizer was separating inside the tube and a gross wave of oil was separating from the color and when I squeezed it out onto my hand it would come in squirls of oil and color, completely gross. Knowing that Aveda backs up all their products, I took it into the store where I purchased it and they gladly swapped it out, apologizing that I must have gotten a bad batch, however, now on my second tube I'm noticing that it is also starting to separate. It's too bad that it is greasy/separates easily, because the color matching and coverage is perfect! After this tube is over I'm going to be switching back to my old product but keeping an eye out for an improved formula.
