About ANEW Clinical Pro Line Eraser Treatment

Renowned for pioneering game-changing skincare formulations over the last two decades, Avon launches one of its most transformative products yet: ANEW Clinical Pro Line Eraser Treatment with A-F33, an industry first molecule exclusively available through Avon*. This anti-aging breakthrough was developed in partnership with visionary dermatological company NeoStrata Company, Inc., the same company that Avon collaborated with in the early 1990s to first bring Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHAs) Technology to the mass market. ANEW Clinical Pro Line Eraser Treatment harnesses the power of A-F33 and helps begin to reduce the look of deep and fine wrinkles in seven days. Over time, 100% of women showed improvement in fine wrinkles.

The Technology

Inspired by Nobel Prize-winning research that looked at blocking mechanisms of protein production, ANEW Clinical Pro Line Eraser Treatment leverages the power of A-F33, an innovative molecule that has been found in testing on skin cells to work in a way that other well known anti-aging ingredients like glycolic acid, retinol, and CoQ10 don't by deactivating critical collagen blocking in skin cells to help unleash untapped collagen. A-F33 is formulated to help stimulate skin cells to produce matrix components.
