Pros: Nice consistency, easily soaks into skin, very inexpensive
Cons: Very perfume-y
The Bottom Line: This Avon basic is easily soaked into skin & does not even make a dent in the budget. Apart from a very perfumed scent, it's wonderful.

| LRGuis's Full Review: Skin Care Avon Rich Moisture Face Cream 3.4 fl oz |
Rich Moisture does what some products entirely fail to do: It succinctly describes itself in its name.
I've been using Rich Moisture in its jar form for as long as I can recall. It began when the neighborhood Avon lady still made door-to-door stops on a monthly basis and she would sit at the table with my mom, drinking coffee and looking through the samples and brochures. My mom bought Rich Moisture because not only did it work, but it was very inexpensive. Fast forward many years and both can still be said about this product.
Of course now ordering is as easy as online clicks, but the resulting product is as pleasing to the skin and wallet as ever. It goes on easily - perhaps a bit heavier than some would be accustomed - but is completely absorbed leaving the skin soft and feeling like it just had a nice gulp of water.
The color is pale yellow, the consistency like cool pudding, the scent a bit perfumey (my one downside). Considered one of Avon's "basics", the cost is nominal - often on sale for $2.99 (or even less) for the 3.4 fl. oz. jar. Meant for the face, I use it immediately after a shower, after washing my face, and I've also been known to slather it on my horribly dry heels. On the face it leaves skin soft, ends dryness, and does not leave a heavy layer when worn under makeup. I've tried other more expensive, department store products and have yet to find something that works as well.
And while this one is not 100% natural as so many items are which I now use, the ingredient list does include a lot of plant-based ingredients and not as many chemical listings as other commonly found commercial moisturizers. Non-comedogenic and allergy tested.
It's an Avon "Basic" and it's been one of my basics for years. I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Highly recommend this for the skin and for the wallet!
