This is supposed to be for women over 40. I am 23, but still use it. Don't agree with age limits on products; if it's good I'll use it. This has SPF 25, which is why I got in the first place.
I didn't have any cream with sun protection in it, and since I am an Avon rep this was just convenient to get. It has a very creamy texture and when you rub it in it just melts. Ahhh... It feels luxurious for sure. Now, it doesn't sink in as fast as I would like it, but I do prefer this then a sun protection only product. Those tend to be greasy. Like you have vaseline on your face, and I'm not a fan of that.
So in my mind, rather then not using them under make-up and expose my skin, a cream with spf in it is better.
Keep in mind that I give it a full 10 to 15 minutes before I start putting make-up on, and on occasion, when I had too much on I blot with a tissue before putting on something else. This way, I never had a problem with make-up moving over the day. My mom uses it too and likes it a lot. That's how I first tried it, I dunk my fingers in her pot. Evil me.
The jar packaging is not my favorite. I prefer an airless pump. But oh well, half of the creams out there are in a jar so I have to deal with it. It is made of glass, which means it is rather heavy. That, and the gold make it look really nice and fancy; in my opinion. And even though that should not matter, we all get sucked in by nice packaging, don't we?
I can't speak to how good it it against wrinkles, since I don't have them yet, but the spf alone helps with that. And my mom is a big fan, went through many jars, so it must be good.
Overall, I like it, but I'm not it's biggest fan. I might purchase it again because it feels very comforting on the skin and contains a decent spf, enough for everyday use.
