L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Golden Age Radiance Reactivating Serum Review

The packaging is to die for. Looks very pemium and quite glam on my dressing table. It looks absolutely beautiful, best of the lot. When turned upside down just a drop comes out, which is enough for the face. It has a pleasant smell. And when applied on the skin, doesn't feel greasy. My skin is looking healthier, hydrated and radiant. In the morning, skin looks & feels fresh. Infact the skin feels tighter. Cheeks seem less sagging. I had a few wrinkles around my eyes & forehead which have started reducing. Dare I say I'm looking youmger, am definitely feeling it. It feels a bit pricey, but looking at the result, I say its worth every penny.

I don't feel that this did anything extra for my skin. Its feel lovely on the skin, smells great but I didn't notice any changes to my skin that I could attribute to this product.

The packaging of the serum looks particularly good as the container is clear so you can see the pink hued liquid inside. It is a generous 125ml. The serum has a twist off lid & just a plastic bung at the top of the bottle which I thought was quite unusual (no dropper or pump) but the serum comes out easily enough. The liquid has gold sparkly bits which are really lovely & ensure the product appears ‘high-end’. The consistency of the serum feels like a thin liquid as it comes out of the bottle but goes on almost a bit sticky. This feeling disappeared within 30 seconds though. The instructions say to ‘tap lightly to absorb’ & this does work much better than rubbing it in. The serum says it will hydrate, improve texture & skin will feel more toned. I left it on for a while on its own & it felt OK even like this but definitely worked better with the day cream. As serums go, once you get over the ‘sticky feeling’ it’s a goody. I would be happy to use this on its own without the day & night cream i.e. with a different range or brand of day cream.

A few drops of this goes a long way, and used in conjunction with the Day Cream and Night Cream, this is liquid gold that completes the package. Glides on the skin, is absorbed easily and is the perfect base to follow with a moisturiser. Nicely scented, it was enjoyable to use and my face loved it! Overall a light but richly intense serum that after 3 weeks of using, left my skin feeling hydrated, supple and soft.

I've only used a serum a couple of times before and haven't really liked them as they've left a sticky residue on my skin. But not this one! I only need one good shake of the bottle and it was enough to cover my entire face. I personally would prefer a squeeze bottle as it gives more control but once I worked out how much I needed, it was fine.

It looks a little sparkly in the bottle so I hoped it didn't leave me looking like a glitter ball which it didn't at all!

It is designed for a mature skin but I found it to leave my skin feeling lovely and definitely a fabulous base for my foundation.

The advertising says it will leave my skin looking radiant - I would definitely agree!

This is the first time I have used such a product and so I was keen to consider whether it's claims were accurate and whether I liked to use a hydrating serum. Like the Age Perfect Golden Age creams, the packaging was attractive and clearly outlined how to use. Here again I have to say that the wording around 'sagging skin' has me slightly cringing. Leave as 'mature' and I'd feel more inclined to continue reading the descriptor. The container is easy to open and close and the fact that it has a sparkly, pink hue with a gold lid is once again a 'classy' move. The fact that this is thick plastic, so not breakable, and the product can be seen as you use it, is a bonus. The directions on the back of the container suggests I use 2-3 drops of the serum but it was not always possible to balance the tipping of the product with the accuracy of the drops. It might be a good idea to have a type of eye-dropper to make this more accurate. When I did have 4 - 5 drops I still used them on my face. The product is slightly cool, clear, easy to apply and dries quickly. It is not sticky and so I feel a pleasant experience. The tall 25 ml bottle is very easy to hold. It is more expensive than I think I'd spend but in saying that I have been amazed at the little amount that has reduced it total, even after several weeks of use. The biggest impact that I have seen is around the top of my lips. I had little dips above my top lip where lipstick would 'run' and this has greatly improved. My top lip is smoother and less lined. I'm pleased with that.

Serums haven’t always been on my priority list when it comes to looking after my skin so I’m kind of a newbie to serums so I was kind of interested to trial the serum. In the past I have read how serums work by giving the skin n extra boost before applying moisturiser. This serum in a tip bottle and is the texture of a thin gel in a rose gold colour almost like fine glitter and it goes on with a wet feel, which I leave for a few moments to dry before applying moisturiser, it tightens on the skin so guess that’s its job. The smell is a very light floral scent which I find quite pleasant. Because my skin has improved when I smell it I feel I’m reminded of how good my skin is looking! I have been using the complete range so I guess they have all been working together to improve the appearance of my skin which I am very pleased with. Would I recommend it? I’d say yes certainly for those of you wanting serious results L’Oréal do an amazing job of skincare products and this one is another gem for mature skin.

The container for the serum is quite large. It doesn’t have a dropper like many do, so getting the right amount of serum was a little bit of an issue. The serum is unlike any other serum I’ve used before. Normally a serum feels super silky and glides over my skin. Generally you don’t need a lot of serum either, but this serum feels almost dry. I felt I needed to use quite a lot of the serum or it didn’t go very far. I let the serum sit on my skin for a couple of minutes to allow it to soak in before applying the day cream or night cream over the top of the serum.

I feel that my skin looks and feels better since using the serum, combined with the day cream and the night cream.

It’s in quite a large container for a serum. I’m using a lot of serum both at night before the night cream and in the morning before the day cream. Considering how much I’m using, it seems to be lasting quite well, so it’s also good value for money.

I do feel that my pigmentation has lightened up a bit and my friends and husband agreed with that assessment. As I’ve been using the serum, with the day cream and the night cream it’s hard to tell which product is having the most impact.

This is now my favourite beauty product and I won't leave home without it. In recent years I have found that unless I use a serum before a moisturiser my skin tends to dry out during the day. I have struggled to find a serum I love but this is it. So easy to apply, so easily absorbed and such incredible value for money - I was only using 4 or so drops each morning to do my face and neck so it goes along way. LOVE IT.

I loved the colour. I just used this at night to give my skin a moisture boost while I slept. I felt my skin looked pumped and rested and fresh in the morning. I didn't really like the sticky feeling when I applied it but was similar in that sense to other serums I have used.
