Avon Banishing Cream Reviews
Avon Banishing Cream Skin Discoloration Improver is an amalgamation of Avon’s patented skin brightener with a botanical brightening blend and Vitamin E. It is a nighttime cream that evens the skin tone gradually by phasing out the unwanted dark spots and discolorations. Age has a way of leaving its mark on our face and our body in the form of dark spots, age spots, discolorations, and freckles on the skin. Avon Banishing Cream promises to lighten the skin and reduce these little imperfections by nourishing the skin.
Avon Banishing Cream Ingredients
Myristyl Myristate gives a silky, rich feel, tones down the oily effect of the cream and leaves a dry powdery after-feel to the cream. Petrolatum (Vaseline) helps soften and soothe the skin and forms a protective film to prevent moisture loss. Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate helps protect the skin from damaging effects of the sun such as sunburn. It is also used to protect the product from deteriorating due to UV rays. Citric acid, a natural antioxidant is also known for its astringent and skin lightening properties.
Other ingredients are water, Isopropyl Myristate, Peg-8, Propylene Glycol, Glyceryl Stearate, Peg-100 Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Magnesium Aluminium Silicate, Dimethicone, Choleth-24, Thiodipropionic Acid, Panthenol, Retinyl Palmitate, Saxifraga Sarmentosa Extract, Tocopherol, Morus Nigra Root Extract, Scutellaria Biacalensis Root Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ceteth-24, Hyroxyethylcellulose, Sodium Citrate, Parfum/Fragrance, Disodium Edta, Benzyl Alcohol, Imidazolidinyl Urea, BHT
Pros
- Has the popular brand, Avon backing the product
- It is low-priced and extremely affordable
- Citric Acid helps the skin to protect itself against harmful agents and generally improves the health of the skin.
Cons
- Propylene Glycol is an ingredient that permeates the skin better than glycerin and is a skin sensitizer that can affect the immune system, and cause sensitivity reactions such as itching, scaling, hives, burning, and blistering of the skin.
- Dimethicone is another ingredient that causes several allergic reactions such as the skin breaking out, which makes it questionable as a safe cosmetic ingredient.
- It takes a long time to work on dark spots, hyperpigmentation and skin discoloration. You are in for disappointment if you are looking for a quick miracle.
Side Effects of Avon Banishing Cream
The list of ingredients pretty much indicates what to expect in terms of side effects of using this product. Even if you are unaware of most of the ingredients listed above, in this age, information on each of these chemicals is just a mouse click away. The skin breaking out into hives is one such side effect noticed by some of the users due to any number of reasons including sensitivity of the skin or allergic reaction to a particular ingredient of the Avon Banishing Cream. As always, it is recommended to test it on a small area of your skin before using it regularly. Discontinue use if you experience severe skin irritation or burning sensation.
Product Verdict
There are mixed reviews doing the rounds regarding the effectiveness of Avon Banishing Cream. There is no consensus on the greasiness of the product, its smell, or its claim to banish the dark spots. Goes to prove that it varies from user to user and since the product is low-priced, it is worth a try. Either ways, you will have to be patient to see the results, for it takes longer than our anticipated time for it to work.
