Avon Product Review: Moisture Therapy Intensive Healing and Repair

updated July 2024
It's Winter in Pennsylvania, and that means that I don't go anywhere without my AVON Moisture Therapy Intensive Hand Cream!
Moisture Therapy Intensive line has been my "go-to" for winter dry skin for over 25 years.  It is unscented and hypoallergenic; suitable for the most sensitive skin. 
Moisture Therapy Intensive Healing and Repair Hand Cream is the best hand cream I've ever used to prevent and heal chapped cracked hands.  Since my relocation to Pennsylvania from South Florida in 1989, the skin on my hands tends to crack and bleed at the first frost.  I've tried many brands and formulas, and I've never found one to beat AVON's Moisture Therapy Intensive.  I use it before going outside in cold weather, and at bedtime, and no cracks! An added value is that this hand cream is priced less than most that you would find in retail stores, and a little goes a long way.

You may think that I have this opinion because I am an AVON lady, but it's really the other way around:  I became an AVON lady to get discounts on the products I already loved!

Why I Use a Serum Under Moisturizer, and What You're Missing If You Don't

updated August 2024
My "serum story" begins at Avon Repfest in Nashville, August 2017. I have used ANEW eye, day and night creams consistently for decades. Every once in a while. when Avon would introduce a treatment serum, I would try it, usually in place of my night cream. I wouldn't notice a difference, and I would go back to the night cream. It just didn't make sense to me to add a treatment product under a moisturizer that already had so many benefits.

Over the years, as the ravages of time and sun have made their marks on my face, I've developed some persistent dry skin patches on my nose and cheeks. No matter what products I used, they stayed, challenging the application of makeup with their flaking. I even had them checked by a doctor to make sure they weren't more disastrous.

In my Repfest "Swag Bag", I received some trial sizes of the ANEW Power Serum. And, in one of my training classes, makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan shared using the Power Serum to smooth the skin before makeup. So, that night, and twice a day for the rest of my trip, I used the serum under my moisturizer. I didn't notice a difference right away, but by the time I got home 3 days later, there were NO dry patches on my face!
Kelsey Deenihan, Avon Celebrity Make-Up Artist

It's been a couple years since I went to Repfest. I have continued using the serum twice daily under my ANEW moisturizers, and even during the dry Winter months have had no return of those pesky dry patches. Since that time, Avon has introduced a few more serums, so there is now a product for everyone, regardless of age or skin type.

Update on Avon's ANEW Cleansing Micellar Water

June 25, 2019 Update:
Almost three years ago, Avon introduced Cleansing Micellar Water as part of the ANEW CLEAN line.  A few months ago, this wonder-cleanser was rebranded as part of the new HydraFusion line.  Still the same great product at an affordable price point.  In case you missed it, here's what I had to say about Micellar Water when Avon first introduced the ANEW CLEAN line of cleansers:


I was curious about the Micellar Cleansing Water.  I had never heard of micellar water before.  What is this liquid that cleanses, moisturizes and tones all at the same time?



After a little investigation, here's what I found:  Micellar water is a suspension of tiny cleansing molecules (micelles) in soft water.  It was invented as a facial cleanser and makeup remover many years ago in France, when fresh water was scarce.  It works best when applied to a cotton pad, and is gentle enough for sensitive skin.  It removes mascara without irritating the eye area.  

Over the past few years, micellar water has become popular in many other countries, and is now sold in the USA.  True to the brand, Avon's version of micellar water is of high quality at an affordable price point.  

Here's the official description from the Avon website:

This micellar cleansing water cleanses skin of dirt, oil and impurities, helps reinforce skin’s protective moisture barrier to keep skin feeling resilient, and preps skin to receive the optimal results for Anew moisturizers and treatments. Formulated with Isotonic Water Complex, it works to attract and maintain moisture so skin feels softer and more revitalized. 5 fl. oz.

BENEFITS • Effectively cleanses skin of makeup, dirt, oil and impurities
• Cleanses and maintains moisture, so skin feels softer
• Leaves skin looking and feeling renewed
• Helps skin appear more radiant
• Suitable for twice daily use and for all skin types 
• No water needed 
• Alcohol free and oil-free

TO USE • Saturate cotton pad and gently smooth over entire face and neck to cleanse in one easy step. No need to rinse off. Use daily, morning and evening.

Made in USA

Introduced in Campaign 15, 2016, Avon ANEW Micellar Cleansing Water is offered at a special price of $6.49 for a 5 oz. bottle.   Why not give it a try?  With Avon's 90 day money back guarantee, you can return it if you don't absolutely love it!

Now available as part of the HydraFusion line, ANEW Cleansing Micellar Water is offered at a regular price of $14.00 for a 10.1 oz. bottle, and for only $7.99 for a limited time.
