Reader Review: Avon Anew Clinical Deep Crease Concentrate

Reader Amber sent in this excellent review of the Deep Crease Concentrate! She had much better luck than me, and I am grateful she took the time to write up her experiences!

I have one of those big, lighted magnifying mirrors. While it can be quite terrifying, magnifying and lighting each and every imperfection, it’s also very helpful. I discover and deal with all manner of face emergencies before they have time to percolate and become huge issues.  One day, while peering intently into the mirror and dealing with a few stray brow hairs, I noticed that I was developing some crepe-y skin along the sides of my mouth.  Upon further inspection, I realized that nasal-labial fold lines (“smile lines”) had made an unwanted appearance. 

For a week or two, I would pop out a mirror and check them in sunlight, in the morning, in the evening, at the office.   I scowled at myself, marveling at the development furrows between my brows, which didn’t complete fade away, even when I tried to keep my forehead as smooth and expressionless as possible.    I saw that crepe-y skin was also developing along the sides of my eyes. 

I began researching madly, trying to determine what would be the most reliable and cost-effective way to treat these lines.  I’m 34 years old, and having grown up in Hawaii, I knew I could experience premature aging, brought on by those early years running around in the sun constantly, with no sunscreen.  However, I just wasn’t ready to accept any wrinkles into my life.  I also wasn’t ready to try Botox. 

Knowing that my satisfaction was guaranteed, I obtained some samples of the Avon Clinical Deep Crease Concentrate — to determine whether this was a product I wanted to order. I immediately adored the texture of the Deep Crease Concentrate – fairly light, and easily absorbed into the skin.  It had an appealing, almost orange-y smell. 

With each use, I became more enamored with the Deep Crease Concentrate, and instead of just a dab on those nasal-labial fold lines, on the sides of my eyes, and between my brows, I began to slather it on everywhere.  It didn’t bother my sensitive, acne-prone skin, and never left my skin feeling oily.  The crepe-y skin disappeared.  The nasal-labial fold lines are gone.  Those two little furrows between my brow — well, I still have one small one when I scowl, but I only look angry now when I feel that way. 

For me, the biggest indicator of a product’s efficacy is my willingness to purchase it again.     When my samples ran out, I immediately ordered more.  When my younger sisters visited me last winter, they asked me for whatever wrinkle treatment I was using.  I got them both the Deep Crease Concentrate.  I gave some to friends. I have tried to get my husband to use some on the potato furrows that cross his forehead — he refused.  That’s okay — when he’s ready, I’ll have some for him. 

And, now, I make sure and order more before I run out.  Deep Crease Concentrate has become one of my “holy grail” skin products.  I find it is the perfect moisturizer/treatment for my skin. ***In the interests of disclosure,  I would like to note that I am a "mark only" rep -- that is, I am a mark representative, and sell products from mark -- a line owned by Avon.  I do not sell or get a discount on Avon products.***

Arrrgh, you make me WANT to go order it! Right now! NOW! Shipping! doh! I need instant gratification!

Okay,I admit, I'm overly prone to being sucked in by the marketing of every new grrl product to hit the shelves, prime time commercials are the bane of my paycheck (I blame the tv watching on my husband; does that mean I can blame my grrl product addiction on him too?), and I have the boxes and boxes of products to prove it!

Either way, the magical products may or may not work, I just don't know. I don't have the attention span to keep trying them after something even better comes along and suckers me in! *Buy me, buy me, if you use me, you'll grow three inches, your boobs will stop shrinking, your ass will stop growing, and nary a wrinkle or stray hair or blemish will be found!*

Could ya maybe send me a sample of your stash, so I can see for myself exactly how glorious it is? I neeeeed it.

I'm a sick, sick grrl...
