AVONSolutions Dramatic Firming Cream, 1.7 Ounce

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:)

Originally bought this for some slightly sagging skin I had on my arms but ended up using it on my tummy and face after I have birth. This stuff works! It did wonders for my face. I was having issues with my upper eye lid starting to sag and fold. It got to the point where when I would apply eyeshadow, it would leave a hideous separation mark ruining my makeup. I saw this in an Avon store and tried a sample and I loved how it feels. It's lightweight, non greasy and absorbs quickly. The store did not have any so, I turned to Amazon. It was waaaay cheaper on here so I was definitely going to try it. It fixed my problem in a matter of two weeks. I used this every morning after washing my face and again at night also after washing my face because it makes a great moisturizer as well. I started seeing results in a matter of days, but the full result only took a few weeks. I was extremely happy. It worked good on my postpartum baby belly. I applied this everyday after a shower and used a tummy shaper to help keep things in place and it worked great for that as well.

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.

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!

So far, I am enjoying applying this cream to my face and neck. It has a very mild clean smell, it's not too thick or thin and it soaks right into my face. I intend to order some more of this cream. The price is great as some of the higher end firming creams are just too spendy.

It is a good product; Avon has never failed me! The texture is a little heavier than I would prefer, but again, Avon is an excellent product!

I do not recommend this product. It has too many chemicals in it and it smells awful. It did nothing for my skin but dry it out.

These 4 items earned this product 5 stars:The cream is lightweight and easy to apply with very minimal rubbing to get it to absorb in the skin. Once on the skin, you don't feel it, but you do feel extra moisturized.It is a great moisturizer. My cheeks have always been dried out and applying just a dab of this kept them moisturized all day.It also smoothes the wrinkles on your neck and face. You can feel and see a difference in the elasticity of your skin.The product is packaged in modern colors and is beautiful on its own.
