[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 333695, member: 1991"] According to the brochure, they have a money-back guarantee. I've had to return stuff, there's never been a problem. Cosmetic reactions - I also can't use Anew especially near my eyes. Some of the creams I can use on other parts of my face. I suspect the problem is preservatives which just about all cosmetic companies in the world now use because legislation insists. My mother in law used to use a particular brand of (formerly) hypoallergenic cosmetics, but suddenly found her skin reacting to it. Her daughter found the same problem at about the same time. And I also found that at about the same time, companies were required by law to use preservatives, because of the problems POSSIBLY caused by people using cosmetic creams which have gone "off". So now we have MORE problems caused by preservative reactions... go figure. I've begun using some cosmetics by LUSH, a company that uses all natural ingredients and (as far as possible) no chemical preservatives and also as low a level of preservatives as they can get away with legally. I've found an eye cream I really like. Before that, I was using olive oil with some success and no reactions. Otherwise - I have my own recipes for natural cosmetics, which I use in between whatever commercial ones I can tolerate. Good luck. Call your Avon rep. There should be no problem. Marg [/QUOTE]
