Avon Anew Rejuvenate 24-hour eye cream, SPF 25 (for my eyes)
Now, according to one of John Su's articles from Futurederm, eye creams aren't really necessary, but I wanted to try this product out anyway because I wanted to see the exact difference between an eye cream with SPF versus just a normal SPF product on the eye area.
Well, there are actually two parts to this product - as you can see - the bluish cream as a nighttime cream and the white cream as a day cream with SPF 25.
I wanted to try it.

AM Cream first::
Pros:
- Very emollient and hydrating
- Did not sting my eyes
- Protects against UVA and UVB rays
- Saw slight firming of eye skin
- Lasts a long time
Cons:
- Jar packaging
PM Cream:
Pros:
- Very emollient and hydrating
- Saw slight plumping of skin
Cons:
- Felt really greasy
- Jar packaging
The overall fact is that I do not like the jar packaging. It is not good and makes the product susceptible to contamination more quickly than usual. Not cool.
Currently I have finished the night cream but am still working on the day cream, which has lasted me about 6 months already, with nightly use! Can you imagine that? 6 months of use and still going strong?
Anyway, I don't think I will repurchase the product because (1) jar packaging and (2) eye creams aren't really that necessary. However, I do think the use of this product was a good experience.
