Review

Results you may expect from using Avon Beyond Color Lip Conditioner SPF 15:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Avon Beyond Color Lip Conditioner SPF 15:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.0 out of 10.
  • Some anti-wrinkle efficacy: Avon Beyond Color Lip Conditioner SPF 15 has an anti-wrinkle rating of 2.5 out of 10 so you may expect some, although limited, effect on wrinkles.
  • Adequate sun protection for most daily activities or short periods spent outdoors.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Avon Beyond Color Lip Conditioner SPF 15 has a moisturizing rating of 6.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a low Humectancy of 2.1 out of 10 and a maximum Occlusivity of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Squalane (est. ≈22.0%) and Microcrystalline Wax (est. ≈3.0%).

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Avon Beyond Color Lip Conditioner SPF 15 has a slight anti-wrinkle rating of 2.5 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Retinol (est. ≈0.1%), 
 the most effective non-prescription ingredient with well-proven efficacy to reduce wrinkles.
 
Among others, Avon Beyond Color Lip Conditioner SPF 15 also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Caffeine, Retinyl Palmitate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, these ingredients do not contribute to the anti-wrinkle rating.
 
Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver additional anti-wrinkle efficacy through its moisturizing action.
 

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Sun protection

Avon Beyond Color Lip Conditioner SPF 15 has an SPF of 15 and provides moderate sun protection. This level of protection is generally adequate for most daily activities, such as running errands or spending short periods outdoors. However, if you spend a substantial amount of time outdoors, it is better to use a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher.
