Is it better than plastic surgery?
The cream claims to be a viable alternative to botox or face lifts, but many consumers just did not feel it was strong enough for their needs while another handful found the cream to be extraordinarily drying. Almost all of the one star reviews on the Avon site had the same exact complaint, with the common denominator being this Skin Revitalize Night Radiance Cream. The creams main claim is that it will soften and moisturize skin. One user said the cream made her feel like she had laid out in the sun for hours the day prior from how dry her skin was the next day. Many users were satisfied with the softening results that made them feel younger. It seems the problem is that this product is NOT for all skin types like it claims. The ingredient list has a lot of effective anti-agers and moisturizers and it is good for sensitive skin, it can be drying though for those women with already chronically dry skin.If you do not have already very dry skin and have oily or combination skin this product may be useful for you. It is worth a try since $10.99 is not a lot to spend on a skin care product and plastic surgery or more invasive treatments have a higher risk and a higher price tag. The ingredients are formulated to synthesize collagen production for younger looking more radiant skin. Luckily, with just one or two weeks of use you will either see results and continue use, or realize this cream doesn’t jive with your particular skin time.
