Pros: Makes your skin feel very smooth and resilient!
Cons: The firming only occurs after a year or so (well for me anyway)
The Bottom Line: If you have dry and rough skin this product is a must have and it really makes your skin feel great!

Introduction
As usual I was skimming through the Avon magazine I get every so often, looking at the wonderful products that I can’t afford and the bras that are gorgeous but only do up to sizes C and I’m over that darn mother, I’ve inherited everything about her; I’m a little bit taller than her, have the same size bust, I look like her apart from the age difference I’m practically her!! However I love my mummy dearly!!
So anyway I saw this cream, now I know that I’m only 15 and don’t need that kind of cream yet but I thought you might as well look after your skin from a young age and as if it couldn’t get any better this product was on buy one get one free, so I decided to buy this product; the hydro-firming night lotion and the hydro-firming day lotion at $8 for two products you couldn’t go wrong!! When my cream came I was so please because I had ran out of moisturiser and even though I have combination skin my skin was actually becoming drier and drier as the days went by.
How it works
This cream was great just by one use by the morning my skin felt much smoother and softer. It got rid of the dryness and roughness on my cheeks. This cream is perfect for sensitive combination skin like me as it doesn't hurt or damage the skin in any way and it is excellent for dry skin but not the greasy skin on the T-zone. This revolutionary cream for your skin is supposed to work overnight to bring visible improvements to the look and feel of skin's resiliency and firmness. I found that after using it for 8 months it has made my skin a lot smoother, softer and my laughter lines (not wrinkles) have become less visible to the naked eye.
Even if you have wrinkles and/or aging skin this product over a fairly long period of time will eventually smooth out some wrinkles and vastly lift the skin making it feel and look much younger!! This product is a lightweight and non-greasy formulated moisturiser. This lotion claims to help boost your skin's moisture level by 172% and I’m sure it does. It is also dermatologist tested. Some of the benefits are that it's also hypoallergenic, non-comeodgenic and non-acnegenic, however if you do you too much on your oilier areas you are likely to get a little breakout. The lotion comes in a 1.7 oz. pump bottle and the cream comes in a 1.7 oz. jar.
It's an overnight cream: Hydrofirming Night Cream should make your skin feel firmer, smoother, and more elastic, however i only found that it made my skin smoother and maybe more elastic. If you use it regularly, it should also diminish the appearance of fine, dry lines and wrinkles. It features a revolutionary, enzyme-balancing technology and a time-released hydrating complex that instantly boosts your skin's moisture level by 185%. And Overnight, it increases skin's elasticity by 25%, not bad huh? After being used for two weeks, my skin felt 25% more resilient and softer. For normal-to-dry skin.
(Sorry this is basically the same as what i said in the paragraph above)
Main ingredients
This product's main ingredients are moisturisers, antioxidants, liposomes, and botanicals with enzyme-balancing technology. It sounds really technical and good, but even though it's a wonderful moisturiser it doesn't firm your skin unless you have used it for over a year, yes over a year. If you do this however the results are definitely worth it. My skin is lovely and smooth all year round thanks to this product!! Which is wonderful otherwise I have a greasier T-zone and peeling cheeks not to attractive to the opposite sex or anyone for that matter, I’m sure many people other than me have either had this problem or like me still have it. However, maybe this is because I’m still only 15 a teenager whose hormones are running all over the place!!
However like I stated before I wouldn't use this product on oily or spot prone skin as it is likely to aggravate the skin and possibly even produce more oil and spots.
This isn't very good is it so be warned if you buy this product after reading this opinion and you use this product on spot prone skin and you develop more spots don't say I didn't warn you!!
Anyway if buy this product and follow the leaflet's (that's included in the box) instructions you will have no problems at all. And please always read the label before use to prevent yourself from running into danger, I know this sounds silly but I mean it. Also read the ingredients because if you're allergic to some of them then you don't want your face swelling up like a pink melon like mind did do you?? No, exactly so WATCH OUT!! The only thing you will have is beautifully soft and smooth skin that glows with healthiness!!
Usage and daily routine
1. I use Avon’s Clear skin Exfoliator, to remove the debris of dead skin cells etc.
2. I wash my face with Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, and then I rinse it off.
3. After that I put Avon's Clear Skin Anti-bacterial toner onto some cotton wool and wipe it over my face.
4. Finally I use this product; I put one drop (or pump from the dispenser) of this cream onto my fingertips and rub it into my skin and neck gently making sure that the cream doesn't go into your eyes. If this does happen then please rinse your eyes with warm water immediately.
However, I am pretty liable to change, just today I bought myself a facial wash, cleanser and toner combined and moisturising cream for only £3 I was very please with myself, very please indeed, if there is a Superdrug in your town please check out their own brand facial products they work well and are cheap what more could you want??
By doing this all year round my skin stays smooth and soft!! So go on treat yourself to this luxurious Hydro-firming night treatment for a less luxurious price of around $8!!
(Sorry i couldn't find the ingredients anywhere!!)
