When it comes to skincare, there are many different brands to choose from. But which one is the best?
In this post, we’re going to see which comes out on top when it comes to Aveeno vs Johnson, two big brands in the skincare world.
Both brands offer a variety of products that cater to different skin types, so let’s take a closer look at each one.
Johnson & Aveeno History
Aveeno
Aveeno is a trusted brand that manufactures lotions and creams to help people with sensitive skin.
The company was founded in 1945 by brothers Albert and Alfred Woessner, whose main goal was to develop gentle, effective formulas for skincare using ingredients from nature.
They launched Aveeno Active Naturals in 1961 as the first product with the active ingredient colloidal oatmeal and is still Aveeno’s cornerstone.
Aveeno Lines and Products: Skin Relief Body Wash, Daily Moisturizing Lotion, Daily Moisturizing Bar, Positively Radiant SPF 15 Moisturizer, Positively Radiant CC Cream with Broad Spectrum SPF 30, Herbal Essences Shampoo, Conditioner & Body Wash, Skin Relief Treatment for Eczema, and more.
Johnson
Johnson’s is a brand that manufactures baby lotions, creams, shampoos, powder, etc.
It was founded in 1886 by Gerhard Johnson with the agenda that they could develop gentle formulas using ingredients from nature.
Johnson’s Lines and Products: Moisture Care Baby Lotion, Bedtime Baby Bubble Bath & Wash, Baby Oil, Skin Nourishment Creamy Oil, Gentle Hair and Body Wash for Babies and Toddlers, Johnson’s® Head-To-Toe® Wash Shampoo and Wash Cloths, No More Tangles Conditioner, Moisture Care Baby Lotion for Dry Skin, and more.
Aveeno VS Johnson Key Similarities and Differences
These two brands have been competing for years to come up with the best products that people of different ages can use.
The aim is to allow every person to take care of their bodies using just one or a combination of their products.
Here are some general similarities and differences between Aveeno and Johnson:
- Both have face washes
- Both have body washes
- Aveeno has a baby wash for babies, while Johnson only has baby oil
- Aveeno’s Head-to-toe wash is available in three different varieties that are suitable for dry skin, normal skin, or oily/problem skin types, while Johnsons Head-To-Toe wash comes in one form only
- Both companies provide products using natural ingredients with no harsh chemicals
Johnson VS Aveeno Face Washes
Both Aveeno and Johnson have face washes, but they target different age groups.
- Aveeno’s Clear Complexion Cleanser is suitable for teenagers since it targets breakouts, which are common during this period in a person’s life.
- Johnson’s Baby Oil Gel Formula Face Wash aims at babies with tender skin that can easily dry out or get irritated from harsh products.
Johnson VS Aveeno Body Washes
Johnson and Aveeno both offer body washes, but they differ based on what type of skin issues their customers commonly want to relieve.
- Aveeno’s Moisturizing Body Wash gets intended for individuals who have dry skin that need extra moisturizing.
- Johnson’s Baby Oil Gel Formula Body Wash is more suited to individuals with sensitive skin because it soothes skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis.
Johnson VS Aveeno Baby Washes
Aveeno has a baby wash for babies, while Johnson only has baby oil. A major difference between these two companies is that:
Aveeno offers a variety of products targeted at the people in this age group, whereas Johnson only provides one product that can be used all over the body.
This is simply because Johnson does not produce any other personal care products for infants and toddlers, while Aveeno has a full line of products for this age group.
Johnson VS Aveeno Baby Oil/Head-to-Toe Washes
Aveeno has Head-to-toe wash available in three different varieties suitable for dry skin, normal skin, or oily/problematic skin types, while Johnsons Head-To-Toe wash comes in one form only.
Another difference between the two companies is that Johnson’s Head to Toe Baby Oil Gel Formula Wash comes as just one type of liquid that can get used on any part of the body.
Aveeno offers three variants that address different issues.
Johnson VS Aveeno Natural Ingredients VS Harsh Chemicals
Both companies claim to provide products using natural ingredients with no harsh chemicals. This makes them safe to use in all age groups.
However, one major difference between these two brands is Aveeno’s use of natural ingredients and being free from harsh chemicals throughout their products.
Johnson also has a large line of products that contain natural ingredients, but their baby care line has some products with chemicals such as parabens.
Johnson VS Aveeno Pricing
The Aveeno line has a wider range of products, especially the baby care line, that are more affordable.
The main reason for this is that Aveeno’s parent company also owns two other beauty brands, including Soothing Moments and Active Naturals skincare lines.
This means that they have more resources than other companies do not have to produce their own formulas, which ultimately makes their products more expensive than Johnson’s.
Johnson VS Aveeno Packing
Johnson wants you to stay clean while Aveeno wants you to be healthy.
The packaging on both skincare product lines is similar in terms of and shape, but they differ in color.
This is because Johnson’s products are blue and white, while Aveeno’s are green and white. The reason behind this difference is simply to avoid brand confusion.
Johnson VS Aveeno Versatility
Aveeno has skincare lines for many skin types, whereas Johnson only offers one product used on the whole body.
Johnson uses packaging that protects its products from being exposed to air or bacteria to prevent spoilage.
This also means that they have designed their bottles with a child-resistant cap to avoid accidents.
Johnson and Aveeno offer baby care products comprising moisturizing washes, moisturizing lotions, baby oil gel formulas, and cleansing tissues.
Aveeno has more than one type of wash, while Johnson only offers a single wash targeted at the whole body.
Another difference between these two brands is that Aveeno has a wider range of products overall, whereas Johnson does not produce any other personal care products for infants and toddlers.
Aveeno VS Johnson for Acne
The key difference between Aveeno and Johnson is the type of active ingredient they use (soy or salicylic acid). The rest, like price and whatnot, is almost the same.
Aveeno’s active ingredient for combating acne is soy (helps with dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, etc.)
Their moisturizer also has oatmeal in it, which can combat breakouts. However, the concentration of the active ingredients in Aveeno products is what sets them apart from the many competitors before them.
Johnson products also have salicylic acid as their active ingredient to fight acne.
It’s very potent, and it’ll be able to destroy the bacteria that causes breakouts within days, if not hours. This will also clean out pores which can prevent further outbreaks.
They sell many products for different skin types, but one of their most popular is their baby oil gel, which has a salicylic acid concentration of 2%.
I wouldn’t recommend using this every day since it’s quite strong, though; it might irritate even the toughest skin.
Summary
Aveeno and Johnson are both good for acne but Aveeno wins by a hair because it’s formula got tested to combat outbreaks better than its competitors, while Johnson used salicylic acid, which dermatologists recommend. Also, Aveeno has more products to choose from, unlike Johnson.
