Review: Basically just a sunscreen
Beauty product: 3 Stars
At first, I thought this had to be a miracle product with a great price until I did some research on anti-aging ingredients and how they work. Avon claims that this is an anti-aging moisturizer that will reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, however, it only seems to provide SPF protection. I used this product daily for over 6 months and didn't see any difference in my fine lines. Why? All-in-one max has 3 great anti-aging ingredients: glycolic acid, hyaluronic acid, and retinol...with retinol being the best of the three. Sounds fabulous, but I read several articles that say using retinol with glycolic acid is not a good idea. The way glycolic acid reacts with the retinol decreases the effectiveness of the retinol rendering it useless. The best way to use retinol is at night because sun exposure can also make retinol less effective. Since this lotion is meant to be used during the DAY and contains glycolic acid, the retinol is essentially worthless. That leaves the other two main anti-agers, but even still, the amount of glycolic/hyaluronic acid in the product is unknown and I'm guessing it's probably very little and not enough to really be anti-aging. So, there is nothing in this lotion that provides anti-aging benefits and I'm assuming this is why Avon is discontinuing the product on its website...because it doesn't work. It does moisturize your skin, but I found it to make my face too oily in the summer. You might as well just use regular sunscreen. :(
