Review
Summary |
ANEW Clinical Spider Vein Therapy by Avon, which also promotes numerous other skincare and cosmetic products, is said to have been “formulated to treat existing spider veins & restore surrounding areas.” It is claimed that in as little as “7 days, the color of spider veins starts to fade,” while in “14 days, spider veins are less pronounced.” Such vague, yet fantastic sounding claims may actually be the norm in the cosmetic industry.
Fortunately, advancements in science and technology have allowed manufacturers to create specific products that may improve a person’s appearance. Among them may be supplements that get to work within, as opposed to topical applications. Therefore, we will take a look at ANEW Clinical Spider Vein Therapy and analyze its strengths and weaknesses to conclude if there may be better products out there.

 | Ingredients at a Glance |
|
There seems to be no exclusive ANEW Clinical Spider Vein Therapy website at time of writing. The official Avon website lists the product; however, neither the official webpage, nor other retail stores carrying the product currently list the complete ingredients. As briefly mentioned above, the product is not a supplement, but is a cream that is to be applied onto the affected area twice daily. While we usually think that topical applications may augment any pharmaceutical quality supplement, we are unable to meaningfully analyze Avon’s product.

 | Ingredients in Focus |
|
We feel the question essentially boils down to whether an individual should go with topical applications, or go with supplements that get to work from within. One important thing to note about varicose veins and spider veins is that they are abnormalities with a specific cause – weakening of the valves in veins responsible for regulating the direction of the blood flow. As such, we believe topical applications may not really get to work from within and target the weakened valves.
An advantage of using a specialized supplement may be that they will contain specific ingredients, rather than plant extracts that are purportedly based on conventional wisdom. Nowadays, ingredients like Diosmin 95®, which has been used by millions of people in Europe to successfully address their varicose and spider veins, may be available in the U.S. as well. It may be a good strategy to try a product that contains such ingredients, and is also FDA-approved.

 | Website |
|
We appreciate that the manufacturer has its own website, although we would have liked it much better if the product were promoted through an exclusive website. The webpage devoted to the product does not list the ingredients, and detailed information on the effectiveness of the product seems to be missing as of review. We find a quality product will actually be backed by numerous and positive testimonials. Some really good products will also highlight some before and after pictures.
|
 | Positives |
|
• Manufacturer has official and exclusive website
|
 | Negatives |
|
• Lack of scientific evidence backing up claims at time of review
• Is not a supplement, but a topical application
• No online testimonials and before and after pictures as of this review
• Ingredients not disclosed and not explained as of writing
• Probably does not have proven ingredients, like Diosmin 95®
|
 | Final Thoughts |
|
In light of all the pertinent information on varicose and spider veins discussed above, we believe that ANEW Clinical Spider Vein Therapy may not exactly be the best choice. Thus, although we are open about the effectiveness of the product as a moisturizer, we remain unconvinced that it may target the appearance of varicose and spider veins.
There already are specialized products on the market with proven ingredients guaranteed to reduce varicose and spider vein formation. We find a trustworthy and safe product will be FDA-approved and will come with a 100% product guarantee. Moreover, products with proven track records will have advanced and approved ingredients. For instance, products with ingredients like Diosmin 95® that have undergone numerous clinical studies may be worth a trial.

Venacura®:
Venacura® -
the only once-a-day, prescription-strength pill that has been FDA-approved to effectively banish embarrassing and painful varicose & spider veins. It contains Diosmin 95®, the ONLY clinically proven ingredient ever made to cure varicose and spider veins. This is NOT another ‘natural pill’ that only works for some people, this is the real deal. It has been clinically proven to work with over 40,000 participants in three major studies. Until recently it was only available in Europe, but now it can be purchased in America. This product has endless testimonials from people that now have healthy looking legs. These success stories are wroth reading. We like that this product has no negative side effects and also comes with a full money back guarantee. Clearly, we think very highly of this product.
