So I've been using this new skin care range for a week now, and thought I'd share my first impressions with you.
This is the first Anew range that is actually pre anti-aging, which means it prevents the signs of aging as opposed to trying to fix all those lines and wrinkles once they've already appeared. This sounds pretty revolutionary but makes sense; prevention is always better than a cure. So Anew retroactive is targeted at those aged 20+. It claims to be able to target up to 'nine years of micro damage' and reverse it before you get fine lines and wrinkles. Microdamage includes trauma from such things as 'sun exposure, unhealthy habits like smoking and drinking, poor diet, and general lack of skin care' as well as daily exposure from pollution and radiation.
How does it work? There are two key ingredients in this range which use 'focus repair technology' to increase production of collagen and elastin. Rare Sea Grape from Okinawa, Japan possesses the amazing ability to repair and restore skin integrity; and Micro-algae Dunaliella Salina (found in salt lakes and the Dead Sea) is included for its ability to protect your skin with a 'powerful mix of amino acids and carbohydrates'. Read about it in more detail here: http://anew.avon.com.au/#about
The Retroactive set includes cleanser - to be used twice daily, youth extending day cream with SPF 15, youth extending cream (nightly use), and youth extending eye cream (twice daily use).
The cleanser is one of those products where a little bit goes a long way. You only need a very small amount - about a pea-size - to get a really good lather. So that's value for money in my eyes, because that's a product that you're not going to run out of soon.
The day cream is very light upon your skin; rich in moisture but not at all greasy or shine-inducing. Glides on easily for good coverage. Again - you don't need much - about 10c piece size. Has SPF in it, which is in it self anti-ageing, and doesn't have the unpleasant odour of some face creams with SPF.
The night cream performs much the same as the day cream, so again - not greasy, great coverage, no shine, beautifully moisturising, and also smells really fresh (something my hubby complemented me on).
I love the eye cream most of all. Only need a tiny amount for each eye area, patted in gently with your ring-finger. Takes a couple of minutes to fully absorb, but once it does you immediately feel and see the difference. Your eye area illuminates and feels much firmer. If you're going to try any of the products from this line, I recommend this one; after all - the first signs of aging are in your eye area too.
Over all, I'm loving these new products so far. My skin feels firmer, and is already starting to appear more even-toned. I'm seeing redness and sun-damage across my nose and cheek bones starting to fade. Eight weeks of use will be enough time to be able to make the final verdict so I will post my final review then, but going by panelist reviews - the feedback is very positive on this range.
I recommend you try this range if you're starting to see tiny fine lines on your face, or know that your skin has been exposed to microdamage, and want to target these first signs of ageing. You can still buy the products at a great introductory price, so check it out on my Avon store shop.avon.com.au/store/kateanderson .
