Avon Adds the ANEW Skin Renewal Power Cream to its Revolutionary Skincare Line

Avon operates on the belief that a better world for women is a better world for all—and what better way to celebrate female empowerment than by adding a revolutionary day and night cream to a game-changing skincare line? 

The ANEW Skin Renewal Power Cream is designed to enhance the skin’s overall quality, enhancing strength, elasticity, and firmness with just seven days of consistent use. It helps activate skin cell renewal and boosts collagen, leaving skin healthy and hydrated. The hero ingredient in this lightweight, fast-absorbing formula is 10X Protinol™, the highest concentration of Avon’s award-winning patented Protinol Technology™, boasting 10 times the power. This helps restore both collagen 1 and collagen 3, bringing them closer to the optimal ratio found in baby-smooth skin.

Esteemed dermatology expert Dr. Zoya Diwan conducted a two-year clinical trial using the product on actual patients. In just a week, several participants saw visible reductions in their fine lines and wrinkles, ranging from 9% to 33%. All participants expressed positive feelings towards the product and would recommend it to a friend. 

The ANEW Skin Renewal Power Cream is available exclusively at avonshop.ph, Lazada, Shopee, TikTok Shop, Watsons, and through your Avon Representatives. —MJ Jose
