    Avon Anew Vitamin C Radiance Maximising Serum

    7.1/ 10

    A ~10% vitamin C brightening serum from a direct-sales staple — the alcohol-forward vehicle may not suit dry or sensitive skin, and can feel drying in Cape wind.

      This is the one product I'd genuinely panic-buy if it ever got discontinued.

      Can I use this alongside a retinol at night or is that pushing it?

      A bit underwhelming honestly. I'll finish the bottle but probably won't rebuy.
