I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial this plumping water cream by L’Oreal. I have very dry skin, and this cream contains hyaluronic acid. I have to be careful how I use hyaluronic acid so it does not draw moisture away from my skin instead of keeping it in! The L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler Plumping Water Cream comes in a shiny lavender coloured box. There are pictures of the product on the outside, and the box states that it can be applied both morning and night after the application of a serum. Though I used this at night only as a night cream over serum.
The product jar itself has a really cool design. It is round and has a clear plastic lid. To apply the product, you pop off the lid, depress the central purple column, and the cream pops out of the hole in the centre. I found one depress was enough to deliver sufficient product to apply to my whole face. The design makes getting the correct amount of product easy with little to no waste.
The product itself appears to be a luminous lavender through the sides of the jar, but comes out white. It has a mild, slightly chemical scent. I have been applying this every night for the past few weeks since I received it for trial. It absorbs easily, and in the morning my skin looks soft and moisturised. I would not say that I noticed a big difference between this and other creams that I have applied over the top of serums, but it was not worse either, so maintained the look of my skin.
Altogether I think this is an easy to use cream that is worth trying if you are a fan of products containing hyaluronic acid.
The packaging for this product is a metallic purple, which happens to be my favorite color, so of course I like it. I absolutely love the press-action top on the bottle and wish all other skincare products came in this type of packaging. It dispenses the perfect amount each time and I know if it had been a normal type pump bottle I would have used far too much product each time.
This product claims to be suitable for all skin tones and types including sensitive skin, however I found it gave me eczema when I was using it twice a day, so I reverted to once a day use.
The cream is a light formula that absorbs really quickly with no greasiness left behind.
I definitely noticed some improvement in my skin tone and texture while using this product, but I think this was a lesser result due to having to only use it once a day. I didn't really notice any difference in the fine lines around my eyes or mouth, but again this could have been because of the reduced use.
Overall this product was a dream to apply and there was some improvement in my skin tone, but with it giving me eczema I won't be adding it to my regular skincare routine.
