| maybabe's Full Review: Avon Basics Vita Moist Face Cream |
Without a moisturizer, my face would be taute and dry. I've used Avon Basics Vita Moist Face Cream off and on for about three years. It makes my skin feel soft and subtle. When Avon has this cream on sale, I double stock.
About the Product: Avon Vita Moist Face Cream is packaged in a 3.4 oz white plastic jar with a yellow screw on lid, and writing inscriptions in black. The regular price is 4.99, but I purchased mine on sale for 2.99. I'm a sales-aholic, always pinching those pennies and stretching those dollars, when I can.
I would describe the consistancey of this cream to be whipped, light, and fluffy. The scent is a little hard to describe...so I will say a pleasant lotion like smell with no heavy perfumes, nothing to over-power your senses, a pleasing scent. The cream is also hypo-allergenic and dermatologist tested. (no animal testing done) It's gentle to the skin. Can't say how this cream would actually work on oily skin..since mine is dry. Vita Moist Face Cream also contains vitamins A, E, and B5. A complete list of ingredients are listed further below.
How to Use: Oh, by the way...the mouth opening of the jar is ample wide enough to dip two or three fingers, and a little goes a long way. So I dip into the jar and then apply a dab of the cream to my forehead, cheeks, chin and neck, then gently smooth it onto the skin. You can see and feel, that it absorbs easily, as if your skin is being quenched from thirst. Leaves your face soft and subtle. Doesn't feel heavy or greasy just light and moisturized.
My Experience: I only use this cream after cleansing my face before bedtime, because it doesn't contain any SPF (even though, you can wear it under makeup)
Haven't had any redness or breakouts...no problems at all.
A jar last me approximately three months.
Avon Basics Vita Moist Face Cream doesn't firm or tighten my skin, nor shrink the tiny wrinkles. Just gives my face that extra moisturization that it needs. Does exactly what Avon states...a simple"Basic Moisturizer"
Nothing more, nothing less.
