L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser Gel Wash

I was lucky enough to recieve this as part of a trial. I have used another skin resurfacing cleanser so was excited to try out another brand.

The tube is functional (and made with less plastic which is always great) and the cleanser is a very thick clear gel consistency with quite a strong scent, I really like it as it reminds me of a fancy day spa. You really only need to use a small amount otherwise it is too thick and doesn't foam up too well. There is a cooling affect which took me by surprise, and due to this it's best to avoid the eye area so for me not great to use in the evening to help remove makeup as it stings a bit. However it does do a grerat job at removing makeup if you can power through the cooling burn!!

My skin felt great, smooth and soft right from the start. After a few days of constant use my skin definitely felt thirsty and needed an extra moisture boost. However reducing use to not every day has stopped this and I have started using only in the morning every few days with better results.

This is a great cleanser, especially for the price point, however as it is recommended for sensitive skin and promotes anti-aging I do find it too drying for consistent use.

Another product I was excited at trying.

By day two of using this, I was ready to give up as it felt like after I had used it, my skin was burning, well it was more of a tingly feeling but I believe this could be due to the menthol in it?

In saying that it did leave my skin feeling a lot cleaner and smoother and glad that I persisted with it and a great exfoliator at the same time.

It does not foam up which is not a bad thing and is a very clear colour and would be great to have it in a pump bottle as I found I was probably squeezing the tube too hard!

Well imagine my excitement when I got an invite to review the L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser Gel Wash. I have trialed the revitalift range before with great results so was super excited to give this a whirl, especially given the results it promises. The packaging is actually quite generous in size so it was off to a great start as far as value for money goes. The appearance is in line with the rest of the range, intense red in colour which grabs your attention. Now the gel itself is a surprise for me. It promises to exfoliate the skin of dead skin cells but it is a clear thick gel with no exfoliating materials that I would have expected. It then had me wondering how it would remove the dead skin cells with being so smooth in consistency.

I used this wash morning and night. It made more sense to use it while I showered to avoid using excess wash cloths. I squeeze a small amount of the gel on my hand and using circular motions (as the directions suggest) I wash my entire face, making sure I avoid the eye area (again in the directions). I leave it on my face for about a minute to ensure it has time to work then rinse thoroughly afterwards. I have to admit the feeling of during and after using it is slightly burning/cold feeling like it would be after using vicks on your skin. It is very unpleasant. I thought that I would be ok using it considering that it was dermatologically tested to be suitable for sensitive skin.

Despite that I carried on with it to give it the fair test period. It has been over a week since I have been using this and I would have thought that the results would be more apparent. I am finding that my skin is feeling denied of moisture, and flat. I don't have the bright, smoother skin that it said would happen. I use the revitalift anti aging moisturizer after using the wash, just to give it the best possible chance but it was a let down. It may have been my skin type or just the product in general. For me it's a thumbs down. It didn't deliver on results and made my skin worse afterwards. 2/10 all over from me.

I was pleasantly surprised by this product. The packaging is nothing to write home about, a pretty stock standard L'Oreal bottle. It has a pleasant fragrance that is not too strong. The gel itself is very thick which makes it easy to dispense just a small amount. And a small amount definitely goes a long way - you do not need to use much at all - which I think is one of the benefits of this product as it will last a long time, making it extremely cost effective. The directions on the bottle are clear and easy to use and the gel lathers up nicely on the face. After rubbing it around for around 20 - 30 seconds, it has a cooling feeling on your face - or maybe a slightly burning feeling, but it feels fresh and nice. And after rinsing off my face felt cool and tingly. The first night I used it, I was so surprised that my skin looked so smooth and shiny and was so soft and smooth to touch. I couldn't believe it would give me that result the first time using it! And even better, it gives me that result every single time I use it. I have also noticed that my skin is looking visibly smoother and brighter all round and that is only after 2 weeks. The directions are to use it morning and night, and to be honest I find it hard to use in the morning as I shower every morning and forget to take it into the shower with me. I will definitely continue to use this product. I love the results and the product is actually really cheap to buy.

I've never tried a face wash like this before and have to say I love it. Leaves skin feeling clean and fresh. My skin definitely looks and feels alot better. I like the smell and it has a refreshing feeling when applying it to the skin.

I have been using this product for almost 2 weeks now as instructed twice a day. It has a floral smell, not too strong. The smell goes away once the gel is washed of. It has gel consistency, it stings a bit when I apply onto my face. After I rinse and pat dry my face, I feel my face is smoother and more supple. After a week, I can see less pores also. However, I don’t see the brightening effect yet. I will keep using this product until it runs out but I don’t think I will repurchase except if I see the brightening effect in a few more weeks or so.

I really enjoyed using L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser Gel Wash. It had a nice refreshing (and most importantly) light scent, the directions were simple and it was easy to use. It leaves a lovely refreshing feeling after its been washed off and although I didn't see any sings of my skin looking "brighter" or "smoother" I did notice after the third consecutive day of use my pores seemed smaller or less noticeable.

So while it didn't do everything it said it would, it is an enjoyable gel wash that is simple to use that works well on oily skin like mine.

So when I first got this I thought ok standard packaging and tube so nothing too exciting there I tried the 1st time in the morning used a small amount as it directs and the first thing that got my attention was the beautiful smell this is something I have found lacking in alot of face washes I have tried in the past then it semi foams up into a lather on your skin and you rinse off after the first use my face felt very fresh clean and just abit brighter I used it each morning and night and at the end of trialing it my skin definitely looks and feels like it's really resurfacing my skin especially my pores they aren't so prominent anymore the fine lines around my eyes are starting to firm give it time I think they will become even less visible I am going to continue to use this product aswel as add more of the products to my daily routine I think this 1 could be a game changer for woman starting to look and feel their age

Packaging is classic Olay colouring and style. With a snap lid, and soft plastic, it is easy to dispense a small amount of cleanser onto hand. And you only need a small amount, meaning this product will last for ages… which is also good, as it is good. Applying to wet face as directed it has a slight pleasant fragrance, and is smooth to apply. The gel foams slightly to give that white soapy look. I then use a wet cloth to remove. It left me skin feeling fresh and clean, and worked well removing makeup. In the two weeks I have been using it, I haven’t felt the need for extra exfoliating, so it’s hidden exfoliate feature must be working.
