I would highly recommend exfoliating before using this product and also perhaps using a Spritz of water on your skin before application if you have drier than normal skin as Hyaluronic Acid is designed to absorb moisture in your skin to help plump it up
My skin is dry/sensitive and even on my skin it worked well and I noticed a fairly good improvement to the physical touch to my skin, and also had no extra negative reactions or extra dryness.
Little to no scent, very light and pleasant and easily absorbed and pats touch dry within a minute or so very quick to apply
Admittedly I found the "pump" a bit confusing at first as I had not used product in a jar like it before - but I do wonder what will happen at the end of the jar with this design. Will I get to use all of the product? How does the pump inside it work? I haven't been able to answer this question over the specified time period as there’s still a bit left in the jar but I may come back once its empty and comment what happened at the end for anyone's reference after I’ve opened it to have a look.
There was an eye-sight visible difference in the texture of my skin so the plumping definitely worked and there was an improvement in the overall texture and I found a slight reduction in redness provided I remembered to spritz in order to help the hyaluronic acid do its work properly, giving it a bit of extra fuel.
Normally I use a barrier product as well but i found with the spritz and cream method I didn’t need to use it along with it and only for my nighttime routine, so it did help me use less of my other product.
Would potentially recommend people with very sensitive skin to avoid as I think it may be a bit much for them
Easily identifiable L'oreal packaging. Container itself is made of plastic and does not send out luxury vibes in any way. But the dispensing mechanism is spring loaded (you can hear it when you place the container down) so the design is understandable.
The pump applicator is easy to use, mess free and no wastage. Gives the right amount of cream for application on the face and neck with no wastage.
It had a lightweight, gel-like consistency that was refreshing and with it's light texture it absorbed into my skin effortlessly. A little goes a long way and my face felt much softer after use.
While my skin did feel supple and moisturised after the application trial period, I didn't notice any visible differences to my skin, other than feeling softer. However this may come with prolonged use.
It was not greasy, easy to spread on my skin and absorbed quickly. Sits well underneath makeup. I applied in the morning and at night. After application, my skin instantly felt hydrated, smooth, and incredibly soft. The water cream provided an instant burst of moisture and throughout the day, my skin felt nicely hydrated.
There is a slight scent to the product which did not linger too long. If you are sensitive to smells it may not please, but it did seem to go reasonably fast.
Nice lightweight texture that gives good hydration but you would definitely need something thicker if you have very dry skin. With no SPF it's not a product I would use as my morning moisturiser (I prefer a product with it in to reduce the number of products I'm using). But if you are after a lightweight product that provides hydration, it certainly is a contender.
Tips: Use a separate SPF if you intend to use this as your daily moisturiser.
