Based on the ingredients included, "Aveeno - Skin Relief Overnight Intense 24-Hour Moisture Cream Fragrance-Free" works well for moisturizing the skin. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Avena sativa kernel flour, glycerin and propylene glycol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Petrolatum, avena sativa kernel flour and cetyl alcohol in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: oatmeal extract, butyrospermum parkii butter and avena sativa kernel oil
