Avon – Avon Foot Works Beautiful Relaxing Soak Pomegranate & Chocolate, review

When a product deserves some extra compliments, it deserves them all: this is exactly the case of Avon Foot Works Beautiful Relaxing Soak Pomegranate & Chocolate.
Why? Imagine you’re coming back home from work, you’re tired and your feet are soaring, this product is the right solution!
If a foot bath and a “do it yourself” pedicure are a good and wise thing to do on a weekly basis; occasionally, in case of stress and fatigue, a warm and quick bath just for your feet is what improves clear the situation. This foot soak with an unique chocolate aroma benefits the mood too! What else?

This ready made concoction for foot is a pink gel, contained in a small and handy 100ml bottle, which soothes and softens the skin. Its formula is enriched with glycerin, cranberry extract and pomegranate extract, this one known for its antioxidant properties.
Once poured into a bowl or under warm running water, it creates a very light, bubbly foam and gives off a pleasant scent.

Chocolate goes extremely well with red fruits notes and the result is a fragrance that one can’t easily find on the market, because it is just gently sweet, and doesn’t evolve into caramel or vanilla notes. Thus it isn’t an obvious scent. Something familiar, close to this scent, that might remind of this Avon soak are, in my opinion, flat biscuits with berry filling.

Thanks to the Avon Foot Works Beautiful Pomegranate & Chocolate Relaxing Soak, my skin becomes soft and smooth for a long time just in ten minute, which is why this foot soak exceeds the comparison with any other products or the traditional hot water+baking soda or salt, although the latter is much more natural and cheap.

The only “footnote” to notice is a caveat on the leaflet recommending to contact a doctor or a podiatrist in case of diabetes or poor circulation.

PROS:
it’s effective (leave the skin soft);
it has an excellent value for money;
it has a soothing, delicious and light scent;
it’s easy to use
it has a small and sturdy package

CONS:
it’s a limited edition product;
it isn’t sold worldwide

There are two big, huge flaws: Avon Foot Works Beautiful Pomegranate & Chocolate is a seasonal range and, unfortunately, will not last for so long and it isn’t available worldwide.

We have to stock up for the future, I need to do it! The regular price is 4,50£ in the UK, 8,70€ in Italy (less than 4€ on offer) while in other EU countries varies and in the US a common Avon soak costs around 6-5$

Indeed there are some fixed Avon Foot Works ranges like the lavender-scented line, but each country has specific and seasonal ranges.
This product can be bought through an Avon representative or on line if possible in your country.

Avon Foot Works Beautiful Pomegranate & Chocolate Relaxing Soak is a product quite unique, I truly recommend and I love, it brings me joy and I would carry it with me anywhere… it’s a travel-friendly!

    Does Avon still carry Avon foot works? It’s in a 3.4 spray bottle (DIN 02375397). The bottle has blue and green feet on the front and the word healthy in green. I had an old bottle and was using this for fungus of my toe nails that I picked up at a nail spa. It”s working but I have run out. Oh please, does anybody have this foot works?

      Dear Doris,
      I hope you and your dearest ones are well and safely home.

      Thank you a million for your visit and for your question, I will try to help as much as I can. I stopped my activity with Avon Cosmetics Italia in 2017, when I moved country, but I remember very well the range you are referring to. The ‘Healthy’ line had a white and green design and menthol-scented products. One of my best sellers was the Avon Foot Works Healthy foot powder, and I found it was great, indeed. The last couple of years, Avon has been renovating its catalogue and packaging designs, so I can just point you towards this direction: https://www.avon.uk.com/product/3614/foot-and-shoe-odour-neutralising-spray-75ml
      I suggest you check the ingredient list on the website and compare it to the old product if you still have a package with you. Let me know if you need further support!

      I hope this help and to see you back soon.

      Yours,
      VC
