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

I have never used a serum before and was interested to see what it did. Pretty rose gold packaging throughput the range. Large bottle which 4 weeks of use has hardly touched. 2 drops of product was sufficient for me. I would have preferred a different type of bottle as you had to squeeze to get the correct amount. Product went on smoothly and left me with a slightly sticky finish, it took a couple of minutes to dry before applying daycream. My skin feels softer after the trial .

I was a little disappointed upon opening the serum box to find that the bottle was lightweight plastic and didn't have a pump or spray applicator. The serum itself is a pretty blush pink colour with sparkles. It's a nice consistency and smells divine. I love the smell, it reminds me of a Shiseido Skincare range I used years ago. The application of the serum is to apply 2 to 3 drops on cleansed skin, massage and then pat to absorb. It leaves the skin feeling tacky which I don't like but it does provide a nice base for the day or night cream to work with. Now, does this serum do as promised which is to refresh and smooth the marks of sleep and fatigue? Does it intensely re-hydrate the skin to re-plump and alleviate the feeling of tightness and awaken the glow of dull skin for fresher, more radiant looking skin? Well not exactly. As mentioned in the night cream review, I do not wake up looking refreshed. However, when used with the day cream the skin certainly has a fresh rosy glow. I do like this serum, however, I absolutely love the L'Oreal Laser 3 Serum so it's a hard call to find a serum I love more. In saying that, the gorgeous smell alone would have me re-purchase this product - if I couldn't get the Laser 3 Serum.

L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Golden Age Radiance Reactivating Serum is a lovely light moisturising serum. It's packaged in a tall square bottle with a squeeze top. It's unusual packaging for a serum, which would more commonly have a pipette or pump, but it works really well. It's easy to squeeze 2-3 drops into the palm of my hand, then rub my hands together to distribute and massage onto my face. It's quite a watery serum, so would be excellent for layering with other products. It feels very comforting and moisturising and has a slight fresh floral fragrance. It's slighty shimmery so leaves a bit of a glow but it's not obnoxiously shiny. I loved using this serum so much. It's a truly lovely product.

Another easy to dispense container that you will be able to get just about every drop out of. This serum is very light and glides on the skin easily and the 2-3 drops I used go a long way leaving my skin feeling silky. I used this twice a day with my L'Oreal morning day and evening night creams. I can't say my skin has any major differences after 3 1/2 weeks of use but then when you look in the mirror every day, it is hard to see subtle changes although I do feel my skin looks glowing at the moment. This product has a lovely fragrance and I would definitely keep using it along with its partner products. I think at $36 a bottle, it is very good value as I have used less than 10mls of product over the 4 weeks (and using it 2x per day)

In the morning I first applied a small amount of the serum on clean skin, it goes a long way so not much is needed. It is a light pink serum and it smelt heavenly, it is addictive. It is in a clear container, there is no pump which would of been good to have so not to over use it. It is light, refreshing and very hydrating on my skin and I love this product. I use the serum in the morning first before I apply the day cream and then again at night before I put on the night cream.

This little gem works well in conjunction with both the day and night creams (although it wasn't recommended with the night, I used it anyway) It goes on really well and is absorbed quickly. It provides a nice base and appeared to have a 'tightening' feel to it on application. Unlike the pink of the day cream I really liked the 'highlighting' hue in the serum. Generous amount of product so I used it again on my neck and decolletage.

I've always been a fan of serums and have used some of the more expensive ones over the years - and often been disappointed with the results. This is absolutely not the case with this serum from L'Oreal! It is light-weight perfection with a lovely scent that isn't overpowering. Does it make a difference to your skin - absolutely it does, to the point where I would almost go without makeup and that is saying something as I have a bit of an issue with rosacea. I've also had several people comment on how good my skin is looking which I haven't had since I was in my 20s! (I'm now in my early 50s, so this was a nice boost, particularly as I'm dealing with some pretty serious health issues). This serum really does do all it says it will do - and more. I'd absolutely recommend it if you want a light serum that makes a difference to your skin. Combine this with the other products in this range and you've got a skincare regime that really works and doesn't cost you an arm and a leg.

I was lucky enough to trial this product, after trying serums before I was pleasantly surprised by this one. The directions state to use 2-3 drops, however, I use 3-4 drops and put this on my face, neck and décolletage after cleansing twice a day. Allow to dry slightly before using moisturiser.

My skin certainly does look more hydrated, however I cannot say that at this stage of usage (3 weeks) that there is any diminishing of fine lines.

I have dry skin so use 3-4 drops twice a day, someone with a less dry skin may need less product daily.

It is a large container, and certainly provides value for money, and I would recommend anyone with mature skin to try this product in combination with day and night creams.

It has a light texture and is easy to apply, you only need a couple of drops. It is refreshing to put on and my skin felt hydrated without being greasy or sticky. My skin had a luminous glow and felt plumped up but not too tight. It has a very pleasant scent and comes in an attractive bottle which needs to be on display.

These products felt like silk on my skin, refreshingly different to anything else I have tried. They moisturised and covers my skin well and I did not have to use much at all. Very economical.
