L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Clinical Vitamin C Serum

As someone without a regular skincare routine, this review opportunity seemed like a good one to find out if this product would work!

My first thoughts were that the serum comes in a simple but elegant package, with a dropper top for easy application. The initial scent is orange-y and pleasant, but the lingering smell was not as nice after it sat on my face for a while.

I have now used this consistently for around 5 weeks, morning and night, according to the directions of 2-3 drops applied and gently massaged in after washing my face. It applies smoothly and feels good on the skin, just very slightly tacky as it dries.

While I had some hopes this would make a difference, I unfortunately haven't seen any noticeable improvement in my skin. It is maybe a little brighter than normal... if you stand back and squint a bit!

Since I haven't noticed much difference, I will use the rest of this bottle up, but I wouldn't purchase this product to use again - unless my skin becomes noticeably worse after stopping. On that same note, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're looking for a somewhat nice-smelling serum to add to your skincare routine.

My skin is on the combination oily side. I have large pores, particularly on my nose and I have a lot of redness, acne scars and uneven skintone. I thought this serum would be good at brightening my skin and helping to fade the acne scars and redness. Overall this was a nice serum to use, but I didn’t see much difference to my skintone.

I have been using the serum for over a month. I have sensitive skin so I introduced this slowly into my skin as vitamin c and salicylic acid might be a bit harsh for my skin. I used the serum one a day at night for 7-10 days and then increased the usage to twice a day, morning and night. I applied this underneath my moisturisers. Even though I did not see any change in my uneven skintone, but skin does feel smooth after using it. I think my pores are also smaller. So I will continue to use it as I have a lot of redness which will take time to fade.

I found this product easy to use. The glass bottle is thick and opaque which means the product inside is protected well (vitamin c has a short shelf life if exposed to the light). The applicator is a dropper and I used two drops for my whole face. The scent was fresh and almost had a slight citrus scent.

Overall I will continue to use serum to see if I can any better results with fading my acne scars.

I've been using this for about a month now and have noticed that blemishes from pimples/blackheads etc are fading more quickly, and my skin seems a bit "glowier". It has an artificial fragrance that is a bit overpowering at first but I quickly got used to it (other cheaper products have been much worse), though I would've preferred no added fragrance at all. The bottle is quite nice, and I like that it is opaque to protect the vitamin C from degrading in the light. At first I used it twice a day as per the instructions, but with my sensitive (eczema) skin I found that it left a burning sensation. After that I switched to using once a day and had no further issues. 3 drops (1 on forehead, 2 on the cheeks) is sufficient for covering the face and neck. Overall I'm happy with it and will continue to use every day

I’ve used serums before but I don’t think this serum has really changed the look and appearance of my face. I have more acne due to using it and I’m unsure if this is just a coincidence. I stopped using it for this reason and it’s started to clear up.

I like that it doesn’t really have a smell, previous serums I’ve used they have had harsh smells which I don’t like very much.

I like the texture and it absorbs very quickly and I can use it nicely under my makeup or bb cream.

I don’t know if I’d use this again but I’m acne prone so it may just be my skin type, although this hasn’t happened with other serums before.

I feel like my skin tone hasn’t changed very much but I do feel it has reduced my pores.

Overall I probably wouldn’t use it again.

When I received the serum it had unfortunately leaked a bit in the box and the product that leaked out had turned a dark orange colour. It says on the packaging that it will begin to turn a yellow/orange colour when it is exposed to too much light but this doesn't reduce the effectiveness of the product.

It comes in a glass jar and I really liked the look of the packaging (although I'm not sure how secure it is with it leaking). The only downside for me is that it was that it was obviously still letting some light into the bottle as the serum has continued to yellow inside the bottle - even though I kept it in a dark cupboard while I wasn't using it.

It has a dropper and recommends to use 3-5 drops to your face after cleansing, I found that 3 drops was more than enough for my face and neck. The serum is quite runny and easy to apply. I definitely noticed my skin seeming brighter and more hydrated so I am pleased with the results this far. It does have a fairly strong fragrance which I personally quite liked, but I could see people disliking it too.

In terms of I used the product every morning and I have used up about a quarter of the bottle so far. I am unsure of how much this retails for so I am unsure whether or not it is worth it for the price. I would say it doesn't feel like the best value because it only has a shelf life of 3 months and I wouldn't like to have to repurchase a product that often, but that is just personal preference. I also haven't done much research so maybe this is the norm when it comes to vitamin c serums.

I will definitely continue to use this product and I would recommend it to others as I have enjoyed trialing it. I am going to be on the lookout for a vitamin c serum with a longer shelf life though!

As someone who's starting to get a little older and noticing the effects of pre-mature aging, I want to do what I can to slow aging down.

I've been trying this Vit C serum over the last 6 weeks as part of my night routine. I've slowly noticed my skin looking a little smoother, especially the pores on my cheeks looking less obvious.

This serum absorbs quickly into the skin and has a pleasant scent (a very light fragrance). It didn't flare up my sensitive skin either.

It comes in a nice sized bottle with a decent dropper to dispense it.

I will continue to keep this in my daily routine, as I'm keen to see if I can make any further progress.

I was very excited to trial this as I have tried a couple different vitamin c serums. In terms of packaging, its easy to use and I like that its not a clear blttle to extend the shelf life. The texture I really liked, it felt nice on my face. I have quite sensitive skin and this was much stronger than other vit c serums I've tried so after a couple of days using it twice a day I had to cut down to once a day because it was a bit much for my face. I'm not sure that I saw a huge amount of difference in my face after 6 weeks, my face looked a bit more even but not a huge difference. I don't think I would buy this again.

I have been using this serum for just under a month. The serum has a lightweight, non-sticky consistency. I have been shaking up the bottle before applying, otherwise the serum doesn't seem to mix properly and comes out clear and orange. The packaging recommends applying 2 - 3 drops. 2 drops was enough (as I ended up just focusing the product on my dark spots). I did struggle with the dropper a bit as it didn't seem to pick up much product - and since the bottle is not clear it's hard to gauge how much product is in there.

After using for a few days, I was a bit surprised to notice orange product in my hairline one afternoon! I realised it was the serum - this is why I ended up focusing on the dark areas away from my hairline/brows. It also meant that I changed from applying the product morning and night to night only unfortunately (unless I was working from home and wouldn't see anyone!). I also noticed that the serum had a strong, almost unpleasant scent on a makeup remover pad when I'd be washing my face at night (after applying it earlier in the day) which was a put off putting.

Despite this, it felt pleasant on my skin and there was no noticeable scent while it was on my skin. It didn't clog my pores which I really appreciated.

I will keep using the serum but I would not purchase it again. There are serums that are just as nice/nicer (and provide the same or better results) at the same or better price points. I think my dark spots may have faded a bit, however my pores look the same and overall my skin doesn't look brighter.

I’ve been using a vitamin c serum in my morning routine for a few years now (for brightness and skin tone) so I’ve tried a number of different options. This one really surprised me! I didn’t find it sticky at all and it just soaked right into my skin - very impressed! It’s a high % of vitamin c so I know it’s doing a world of good and all of the other goodies in this product are such a great bonus! And I think the packaging looks super slick as well. This will become a regular part of my routine for sure.

I usually use a vitamin c serum on my skin but the one I like is quite expensive, and so I have had a bit of time away from it. I saw this pop up and had to try a cheaper alternative to my usual.

The appealing thing about this was the price point, I found it quite an affordable alternative.

The size was decent and for the quantity received seems to be a reasonable for the outlay on price. It’s a good consistency and not too thick a solution which will add to the longevity of the product.

The application of the product is smooth and readily absorbed. It smoothes and softens, but doesn’t clog skin. It creates a subtle layer that feels dewy and appears bright.

With usage I feel this has perked my skin up immensely regarding the brightness alone. My skin appears to have a fresh face look versus the usual dull tone.

Definitely a more affordable swap in my routine with decent benefits in my appearance.
