Advantages: Great moisture, great price

Disadvantages: You have to wait a few weeks if bought from a representative

When it comes to facial care products for the past few years I have chosen Avon Clearskin products because mainly it was convenient.. My neighbour is an Avon lady and she brings the products I use directly to my door, and the fact that it isn't too expensive with constant offers on, it is a bargain most of the time..


~~ What is the product? ~~

This product is the Avon Clearskin Mattifying Moisturiser..
The actual moisturiser comes in a little 50ml bottle in plain white with the writing written on in blue and green, the normal colours for a product of this section of the catalogue.. With a warning written on the back in numerous different languages.. The moisturiser actually comes in a box with the ingredients on the back.. However as unlucky as it is a cant find the box!


~~ Texture and smell of the product ~~

This product actually is a very pale blue in the pump bottle and when expressed onto your fingers to be massaged into your face..
The product itself is obviously wet.. With it being a liquid, but unlike water its not runny it has the right consistency to be applied to the face without making it look wet or greasy.. It has a thickness that when rubbed into the skin thins to spread evenly..
The product has that usual chemical smell of moisturiser but is not too chemical that you wouldn't want to apply it.. The smell is definitely not pungent so that when applied that's all you can smell..


~~ So is it any good? ~~

Well I do happen to use this product everyday, on top of and under my make-up..
It is quite good to help blend in a foundation that is maybe a shade too dark, which means less wastage on a foundation and helps the coverage too as some foundations can be a little too solid for my liking..
For those of you who use powder foundation this is also good for underneath your foundation as if you apply a thicker layer to problem areas it can help cover those blemishes!
As for the effect it has on your skin.. Worry not about greasy patches and nasty shiny bits on your face were you have applied the moisturiser, it just blends in a is absorbed right before your eyes.. I haven't had a problem with more spots than usual because of it, however that is just my skin.. It leaves my skin suitably refreshed and moisturised until I take my make up off..


~~ Price ~~

Available exclusively from Avon..

Singly this product is £4 but at the moment the range is on 3 for £5..

Summary: fabulous moisture at bargain price..
