AVON Solutions Firming Cream - 1.7 oz | Daily Moisturizer with Vitamin E for Dry Skin, Lightweight Skin Care Neck Cream for Day & Night Use

Even though this tiny cream jar has a simple and clean packaging, it still caught my attention based on the amount of high and positive reviews. As a licensed esthetician, I was curious to find out why thats is, and hence, took a closer look at the ingredients list. I was pleasantly surprised about my findings and would like to share some of the information in this review hoping that my humble opinion helps you make a better, more informed decision.1. One of the ingredients is APRICOT OIL, which is similar to almond oil, contains minerals such as CALCIUM and MAGNESIUM; MONO/POLY unsaturated fats; and the best vitamins for skin such as VITAMIN A (moisturizes, increases elasticity, strengthens the structure of the skin, reduces fine lines); VITAMIN C (an antioxidant, promotes elasticity, gives your skin even and healthy skin tone); VITAMIN F (normalizes sebum production and aids skin regeneration). The oil is beneficial for ALL SKIN TYPES (it calms sensitive skin, heals inflammation in problem skin, and softens dry/tight skin).2. SQUALENE - this component is pricey because it is stored and obtained from shark's liver, the richest natural source of squalene. Squalene is widely distributed throughout the body but the majority is transported to the skin. Sebum has high levels, up to 12%, and that explains why squalene plays an important role in protecting our skin from aging by giving it elasticity, moisture and soft velvety feel. After age 25, the amount of squalene begins to decrease! Consequently, to maintain our youth and beauty, we turn to look for alternative sources of this oil!3. Punica granatum (or POMEGRANATE) juice - helps to hold moisture in the cells, thus preventing wrinkles while maintaining the pH balance in the epidermis (making it especially great for DRY skin).4. CARROT SEED OIL - one of the best anti-aging products as it activates regeneration processes, evens out and gives your skin a healthy glow (good for HYPERPIGMENTATION and stretch marks), an antioxidant with detoxifying properties.After all the above mentioned, yes, this product might not have the most eye catching packaging, but when you dive deeper, you realize that this cream is in no way inferior to even luxury skincare brands that, by the way, include all the advertising and marketing costs into the final product price:)

This cream is underrated I think..... First I was superised to see it is actually a very small jar.. but you don't need much each time. So it's still very good bang for your buck. The texture is great! Non-greasy, fast absorbing, and it's of very light weight. Makes your skin feel good.It says "dramatic firming"... and it is a truthful statement! This is the first time EVER, I felt a cream actually firmed my face!!!! I have very good genes (thank God), and my skin is super soft, fine and smooth, and I don't have aging signs. But, don't they always tell us that we should start our skin care procedure when we are young? So I thought firming and tightening are necessary. But because my skin is already tight and firm, it's hard to tell if a firming cream works or not... but to my surprise, this Avon Solutions firming cream unbelievably made my skin actually look even firmer!!! Happy with the purchase.

I have used this item for many years and I love it. Of course, the price has doubled just in the last couple of years.

Does tighten skin. I found it worked better when I was younger but it still tightens older skin. Good for using if you have to go out and need a boost under the make up.

This is hands down the best firming cream that I have been able to find. It's affordable and ships quickly; mine shipped only 12 hours after placing the order. I'm 34 and have started to see the effects of sun and age on my neck and chest. Immediately upon applying the cream, I can see and feel a difference. The little lines and wrinkles that have started to creep around are greatly reduced and barely noticeable after one application.I tried it out on my grandma to see if the effects were "the same" (she's 81). Well, she took the jar and said that I have to order another. Needless to say, I have another jar on the way! :-)As long as I keep getting these great results, this is going to be my number one go-to firming product!

Not useful for seniors. More for a younger Iad I was hoping I would be as good as the banashing cream.

This cream really does firm up my face and neck.

Have used for 49 years ! It works for me.
