I just had to try this as I have a really ugly dark spot on my forehead that appeared about 2 years ago and just gets worse every year. I was out in the sun at our beach house in Mass. and got a tan. I noticed, though, my face was tan but a spot on my forehead was really dark! I could not cover it up with foundation or anything else. I noticed too that when my tan was gone the spot was still there! I went to my doctor and she said that this sometimes happens with age and after having children and taking birth control pills. I took the pills before I decided to have children with my husband and then I stopped and had the 2 kids. My hormones must have been through the roof as I had a lot of things happen to my body and skin after that. Anyway... I had to try this Unflawed as it was supposed to clear up the spots and make them less visible. I decided to start selling AVON and then became a Beauty Advisor so that I could get a discount on this product.

It comes in a 1.5 fl. oz. round container. It is a pretty purple color. The price is $40.00 but if you sell it you get a varied discount depending on if you buy it for yourself or if you decide to sell it to others and make money at it you could get a bigger discount depending on your sales. AVON does have discounted items in the back of the becoming catalog that this is sold in and at times when AVON decides to change a containers look that a product is displayed in they will discount and clearance the products to get rid of the ones they have to make room for the "new" looks. So there is always the possibility that this could go on sale. Always with AVON there is that possibility! :) This product was seen advertised in SELF magazine not too long ago.
My experience with this product:
I have been using it for about a week now and I can honestly say that that ugly spot on my forehead is fading!!! I am so ecstatic and overjoyed at this as that darned spot has been a mini drama with me since I got it and others have noticed it and commented on it. I thought I would have to deal with it forever. My doctor told me that I could get a procedure done that involved an injection of something that would take away or just reduce the appearance but it would run my about $600 or more at a dermatologists office and I may have to go back for another treatments(s) . I feel that even without the discount I would gladly pay the $40.00 to hide this spot. I have been afraid of going in the sun at all as this spot would get so dark just being in the sun for a few minutes. I would apply sun block to the spot only and hope the rest of my face would catch up to it but it would still get darker. Well, in these summer months with all the heat and humidity I have been to the beach all week and I have been using this Un-Flawed. I do use a sunscreen too. (AVON of course! and I use other AVON beComing products on my face and they do contain an SPF) The product does not contain an SPF so I do recommend highly an SPF of 15 or higher in your moisturizers or a general sunscreen. But I will tell you that after being in the sun all week my spot is still fading and has not darkened at all! This stuff really works and I would recommend it to anyone!
I think the scent is fresh and light. I love it! The color is really neat too, kind of iridescent. It goes on light as it is a cream gel and it does not feel greasy to oily. I have skin prone to adult breakouts and my skin is sensitive to almost any face product except all the beComing products I have tried. I have not broken out at all because of use of these products. They do not clog pores.
UPDATE: July 2, 2005) I noticed tonight that a lot of the red acne "scars( you know the red splotches that mark up your face long after the acne is gone and just never seems to go away, ever) is almost completely gone! I asked my husband tonight after cleaning off my make-up if he noticed any difference in my face and he said that my face is noticibly clearer than it was and that it looks really good! I am so thrilled! I also want to say that on the Un-flawed container it reccomends a couple differnt skin creams for the face that beComing also has to apply after the un-flawed and they do have an SPF in them.
You can only get this product from a representitive who is a beauty advisor with AVON. I saw that you can get in online at www.avon.com but I recommend getting it from an advisor as she/he can help you with any questions you have on a one-on-one basis.
(The facts information came from my Beauty Advisor handbook as well as the becoming catalog. I did summarize some things and took some things word for word) my opinions were all my own.
UPDATE April 2006:
I have not seen any of the beComing line of products for some time now and when I asked a district sales manager about it, she said that AVON discontiniued the product line. She did say that there were some products (Like this one) taht were very effective and popular and so AVON will bring them back but they will bring the products into the regular AVON catalog instead of only in the exclusive beComing catalog. She also told me taht a lot of the ANEW products work as well and do the same thing as some of the discontinued beComing products. I do have to say I love the ABEW line and have written one reveiw so far on an ANEW product but will write more after I have moved and settle into my new place! :)
