I was on the hunt for a new moisturiser after my previous one was discontinued. I decided to try L'Oreal Revitalift as it was on a good special and had SPF 30, which I find many day creams don't nowadays.
Upon opening the package I was apprehensive as it had quite a strong scent and I usually avoid any products with fragrance as I have sensitive skin and scented products often 'burn' when I spread them on. It's also thicker and a bit 'oilier' than I usually go for as I have adult cystic acne on my chin which has been recently flaring up and I thought this would exacerbate the issue.
However, I was very pleased to find that neither the scent irritated my skin at all, nor did the cream cause any breakouts. On the contrary, when I looked in the mirror the next morning my skin looked amazing! Better than it has in a long time. My pimples had subsided and red marks were going away, the purple below my eyes was much less pronounced and my skin was soft, plump and had a lovely glow. After a few days of use my skin's texture is much smoother, and the red spots and purple under my eyes have faded even more.
I used to have dry skin, but have had a number of breakouts over the past couple of years. Now I think it is perhaps because the moisturisers I've been using haven't been thick or oily enough. This is an excellent moisturiser and I would highly recommend it to anyone with traditionally dry skin, even if you're prone to breakouts.
I have seen this product all over the place and it can be pretty pricey. I found it in Pricewise for $15 and decided to give it a go. It's a pretty generous amount of product, it feels nice - not too oily and thick, more like a gel, doesn't smell bad. I love that it has an SPF. I can't say if it has any anti-aging effect but it makes me feel better just for saying so on the packet. If I see it again for a good price I will buy it.
Tips: Use sparingly - a little goes a long way.
