L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Intense Nutrition Repair:
LÓreal claim this is a rich sumptuous cream. It sure is! However for a day cream I feel it is a little heavy but having said that, it isn't greasy. I looks like whipped butter, and has a very subtle fragrance. For the more mature skin we need a little more oomph in our moisturisers and this certainly delivers. It contains manuka honey for cell repair and calcium for densifying the skin and supporting skin tone. It also comes in a glass jar, not plastic, which is always a plus. I've used this for about a week and my skin is looking a bit firmer and fuller looking. It doesn’t have an SPF though so loses points for that.
L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Intense Nutrition Night:
This very rich night creams' promised action is to be anti-sagging & anti-crinkle. It also looks like whipped butter, only thicker and has a very subtle fragrance. It also contains manuka honey for cell repair and calcium for densifying the skin and supporting skin tone. My skin feels and looks fuller which means it is less dry, so this night cream works for me. The only down side is it is very thick and thus takes a while to get it spread and blended into the skin.
Scoop it out of the jar and dot it around and let the warmth of your skin heat it up a bit, then it is easier to blend in.
L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Intense Nutrition Serum:
Fortified with manuka honey for skin repair and calcium B5 for moisturising properties, this is a lovely serum. It's a light gel, and 2 small pumps does the whole face and neck area. It has a really nice light fragrance. Comes in a glass bottle with a handy pump. What I really like about this serum is that it is so easy to apply and it feels very luxurious. The only downside I can see is that used twice a day you will run out pretty quickly, so perhaps a bigger bottle would be preferrable.
The L’Oreal Paris Intense Nutrition Rich Repairing range enriched with NZ Manuka Honey, Calcium B3 and Apricot Kernel Oil, is designed for mature, dry skin (60+) and is meant to help restore dull, ageing skin leaving the skin hydrated and intensely nourished. The range includes serum, moisturiser and night cream. The three products come in reddish brown glass jars with a gold rimmed screw top lid for the creams and a gold pump action top and clear plastic cover for the serum. An inner white plastic lid keeps the creams from drying out. There is a lot of information on the box including ingredients, how to use it and what to expect, along with a scientific explanation of the benefits of using Manuka honey and calcium. I like that there is an expiry date. The pump dispenser on the serum ensures the right amount is dispensed and there is no wastage. It was lightweight yet hydrating and didn't leave an oily residue. I would use the serum in the morning and at night. It would make my skin so hydrated and gave it a healthy glow. It was not oily at all and I could put it on both for daytime and night-time. After the serum was absorbed I would apply the L’Oreal Paris Intense Nutrition Rich Repairing Day Cream. It is a light, creamy consistency and just a hint of a honey aroma. It absorbed quickly into my skin leaving no residue. The only thing I would love to see in this cream is SPF – something my skin definitely needs in the NZ climate. Applying makeup over the cream was very easy. I have really dry skin but this thick and creamy product was so easy to use and complimented the serum really well. In the evening I cleanse, tone and then reapply the Serum. To end my skincare routine I apply the L’Oreal Paris Age Perfect Repairing Night Cream. The night cream is a little thicker and richer than the day cream but only a very small amount was needed and it absorbed very well into my skin without leaving a greasy feel. The next morning my skin felt soft and very hydrated. My skin gets very dry in Winter. After using all the products together my skin has definitely improved. It's much more hydrated and looks a lot more plump and healthy. Most importantly for me, my skin is well moisturised from the morning when I start the regime to the evening. I have been using the regime for 10 days now. I haven’t noticed any major changes with lines or wrinkles but I feel as though my skin is plumper and more hydrated which eventually, hopefully, with continued use will help to soften any fine lines and wrinkles. I like to use a skin care system featuring products from the same brand as these products have been designed to be used with one another or layered over one another. Another benefit for me is that the fragrances complement each other and won’t clash.
Tips: Use these products in tandem to increase repair and create a more intense hydration.
