The Anew range, including a vitamin C radiance serum.
The SkinLabs Take
Avon's Anew Vitamin C Radiance Maximising Serum delivers roughly 10% vitamin C from a direct-sales staple — a real, disclosed concentration, though the alcohol-forward vehicle may not suit dry or sensitive skin and can feel drying in Cape wind. A dependable, widely accessible entry point into vitamin C brightening for anyone already buying through an Avon representative.
Why they made the list
New on the Radar: one reviewed product so far. We'll expand coverage as SkinLabs reviews more of Avon's wider skincare range.
Currently 1 reviewed product — not yet enough for our main Ranked tier, but a real, evidence-backed entry on the Radar.

How does Avon stack up against the more clinic-distributed brands on this list? Curious if the gap is really that big.

Ranking feels a bit generous for Avon based on what I've tried, though I get the reasoning.

Long-time Avon user here. The formulation notes match my own experience pretty closely.

Agree on the value call for Avon — it's rare to find a brand that doesn't cut corners at this price point.

I recommend Avon to clients fairly often — good to see the methodology behind this ranking laid out transparently.
