As you may have gathered by now, by reading some of my other opinions, I am a real fan of Avon creams and lotions. When I was a child I remember hearing that they tested their products on animals, but today it is a different story. The advertising now states that they do not test their cosmetics on animals, so in theory they should be safe to be used by vegetarians. I have queried certain ingredients such as urea in the Soft Musk range and was told that it was synthetically produced, and not extracted from deer. This was from the labs in Corby, United Kingdom.
I am digressing from the product in question, Avon Hydrofirming Cream and Lotion. (The cream is thicker than the lotion)I use a hydrofirming cream at night to pamper my skin and protect it whilst I sleep. It seems to be one of the most receptive night moisture creams on the market today, but how does it work. The information supplied with this lotion states that it ’’increases skin’s moisture levels by over 170% and retain a 100% boost even after eight hours’’. I do not really know if this is true but I do find that on the nights I (remember) to use it, my skin feels soft when waking in the morning. Gone are the dry patches, which plagued my cheeks the day before. I have not found any greasy patches on my pillow.
The intensive Hydofirming day cream and Lotion provides a moisture boost for the skin. It is easy to apply even when half asleep and is easily absorbed into the skin. The white lotion has a light, pleasant perfume is suitable for oily skin, whilst the thicker white cream is designed for normal to dry skin (Hydrofirming Night Cream). The night range costs £8.00 for a 50mls container. But do not worry, your skin can benefit too, during the day due to the Hydrofirming Day Cream or Lotion. Avon has made this cream, containing SPF 15, so that the skin can have a hydra boost during the day. This day range costs only £7.00 for a 50mls jar. Great value for money!
The eyes to are not forgotten in this range. A 15mls jar of Hydrofirming Eye Cream cost £7.00. Personally, I prefer to use the Avon Lighten-Up Eye Cream as I find the Hydrofirming Eye Cream a little too heavy for my eyes. The cream leaves my eyes feeling greasy instead of giving them the ’’intensive moisture boost’’ as stated in the brochure. I returned it to my rep and he gave me a full refund.
This opinion has been written from a woman’s experience and so I am unaware how well the Hydrofirming Range works on men’s skin. I would love to know if any males have tried it.
