L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Day Cream SPF 30 Review

Love the square jar the day cream comes in as sits nicely in my cupboard. Also love that it has an SPF 30 factor. The cream is a light peach colour quite thick with quite a scent to it. You definitely only need to use a small amount of cream and using too much made my skin feel greasy. Overall it wasn't my most favorite face cream (although I loved the L'Oreal eye cream) I felt the cream was a bit thick for my skin and I ended up with quite alot of breakouts. I also found that the scent was a bit overpowering for me I could smell a sunscreen type scent which I found not that pleasant. Sadly my skin felt alot greasier whilst using so definitely don't think it was for me.

Being picked to be part of this review could not have come at a better time for me because I was just about to run out of my usual day cream. And by usual I mean whatever cream was on special at the supermarket. I am not the sort of person who would ever splash out on a $33.99 cream so I was pretty interested in seeing what this L'Oreal Revitalift Day Cream could do compared to whatever $7 cream I had been using. For the price I had extremely high expectations! The cream was packaged pretty nicely (albeit a little excessively for my liking) and had a faint aroma that wasn’t overpowering. So far so good. It did have a slight orange tinge which was concerning but I put any fears to one side and forged on in my investigation. The cream felt rich and slightly glamorous, and It made my skin look and feel healthy. My face felt extremely hydrated and I loved the fact that it also doubled as a SPF15. However, I am unable to say whether or not my face’s network of elastin fibres were multiplied, strengthened and supported through the use of this cream. All in all I did enjoy using L'Oreal Revitalift Day Cream but once it’s gone it’s highly unlikely that I will replace it - I just can’t justify the price!

I love the stackable containers which are great on my dressing table, they take up little room!!

i was thrilled to see the day cream had an SPF of 30, so important in this day and age. I liked the consistency of the cream which I found thicker than many I have used, this was great for keeping the moisture in my skin I thought certainly I think it was great for keeping my skin hydrated.

I like that the day cream is a different colour from the night cream, at my age just another wee thing that is great so I know which cream I'm putting on when!! I early did not notice a difference in the firmness of my skin but I did notice the difference in the hydration.

For me I found the scent overpowering, just a bit too much, I would have liked less fragrance. I It was a nice cream but I just don't feel that the firmness of my skin altered at all

I received this as part of the L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Regime trial and it was my 2nd favourite product of the trial.

Like the other 2 products in this trial, it was packaged in a heavy white glass jar with a red lid. The day cream itself was a lightly fragranced peachy colour which was easy to apply and absorbed very well into my skin.

Although this worked quite well on my skin, it was on the very heavy side for a day cream and some skin types would probably not react all that well to the weight of it. For me though, it was OK. Personally, I will use this again, however, I think I might find it too heavy for all year round use, maybe more of a winter product. I felt my makeup didn't wear quite as well as it normally does whilst using this cream. It seemed to not want to "stick" to my skin. Again, for the price, I feel this would be a great starting regime for someone who doesn't want to spend the earth but who also wants skin that feels nicer than average.

My day cream is SPF 30, not SPF 15 (as specified above).

It unfortunately does have a slight sunscreen-like smell to it in my opinion, not overwhelming, but it’s definitely there and it is not a favourite smell of mine in skincare. However, I do appreciate that all good skincare regimes should probably have sun protection in them and I know why it needs to be there. Perhaps it is because I am used to lighter day creams, but it did also feel a bit too thick on my skin. But it does moisturise well and make my skin feel hydrated.

I would probably give this about 3 out of 5 for all of those those reasons.

Not the best, not the worst. I like how this day cream has a strong spf, but that comes with a relatively strong sunscreen smell. I also find the texture quite greasy which is why less is more with this one. It does, however, absorb quite well after ten minutes or so and it leaves behind a nice glowy look. I've been using it consistently for some time now to see if there has been any improvement with fine lines or wrinkles, but unfortunately there's not much to report on that front. Overall, this is an ok product with a few downsides.

When opening the glass jars on the day cream it has a luxurious feel, the smell isn’t over powering or offensive. I wore this with and without make up. And found that it left my skin feeling hydrated all day. I love the fact it has the added SPF which is a huge bonus. I found my skin has felt silky and looked more plump. I haven’t noticed a huge reduction in my fine lines.

I really liked this cream straight away. This was my favourite out of the three to trial. The texture and fast penetration was great. Normally products are too rich so leave a greasy residue or instantly absorbed leaving my skin tight and uncomfortable. Positives: My skin felt moist, comfortable and did not break out. It absorbed quickly and my foundation applied easily over the top and stayed on for the day without sliding off. SPF15 which was an added benefit. Negatives: Fiddly lid where the square lid was not easily closed. I really don't like the fragrance it is too perfumey and smells like cheap air freshener. Would I use again? Yes if it gets results (it is still early days to see). The postives outweigh the negative

I've been using all three of the L'Oreal Revitalift creams for 3 weeks now and its been a bit of a mixed bag for me. The day cream comes in a heavy glass jar which freaks my ocd out a little bit, sticking my fingers in every time. Thankfully I didn't have to share! The cream itself is apricot tinted, quite dense and has an interesting smell. Its kind of old fashioned a bit like a soapy kind of smell and not really my cup of tea. Having said that, the smell doesn't last long and as a negative it's a little one! The cream goes on smoothly, a little goes a long way thou! It soaks in quickly and doesn't feel greasy at all which was a surprise given how dense the cream is. I haven't seen a noticeable reduction in the fine lines on my face but it feels tighter and smoother than it did 3 weeks ago! I love that it has an spf factor, a must these days!

I was super excited when I was picked for this review - been using good old faithful products that I reviewed a few years ago and thought this would give me the option to find something new - This regime consisted of: L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Day Cream SPF 15 LOréal Paris Revitalift Night Cream & LOréal Paris Revitalift Eye Cream. Great looking set of these products arrived in nice looking boxes. The day cream has a nice peach colour to it and not to heavy for day wear. The night cream consist of a rich white cream that spreads easily over the face, and I used eye cream sparingly because it is quite thick compared to other eye creams I have used in the past. No overwhelming fragrance that suited me just fine. I did not have to use much of any of these creams as it spread easily onto the face and neck.

I have been using the product close on 3 weeks and still it I have only used a little bit - think these will last for quite a long time and I think it will be good value for the price. Its is pretty affordable as long as you don't go out and buy them all at once. The pretty simple and I liked the presentation - unfortunately again packaging goes to waste (outer packaging) - the white containers easily fit on my dresser. I think that using the products for longer will help to reach its full potential, I don't think it can be reached in only a few weeks - its not a miracle cream that have made my wrinkles magically disappear unfortunately but I'm still holding out for a miracle :)
