L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser Retinol Pressed Cream

I just started using the brand and am super pleased. I like the idea how the packaging is a press jar. For a first user of the brand , I really do like it, it did leave a tingle on my face after using after two weeks but it started to settle As for seeing a difference on my face it is early days . As I said in the title I’m still trying .

L'oreal is a favourite brand, I was lucky enough to receive this from the vault. This night cream comes in a generous 50ml plastic jar with a clear plastic lid and a push down dispenser. The consistency is creamy and easy to apply. I have been applying just a small amount to face and neck sparingly because my skin can be sensitive at times. A bit tingley at first, but settled down after the first week. The scent is nice and not too overpowering. My skin feels hydrated and refreshed, will keep using three times a week, have noticed a slight improvement in skin tone. Haven't noticed a big difference to lines and wrinkles but over time might improve.

This a tricky product to review over a short time as you gradually use product. I am currently using every other night. I found the product quite stingy which lasted a few seconds and made my skin quite red for a few minutes after application. My skin felt very smooth and soft and alot firmer and some of the fine lines are less visible not much change to the few deeper wrinkles i have yet and skin tone is becoming more even alot less harsh looking its more youthful. My skin in my around the chin and cheeks has become very dry after cleaning my face in the morning so have had to use a day time moisturizer with spf... I am going to continue with the trial as I do like the way my skin is starting to look. The press to release container is perfect for ensuring you get the right amount of product. The packaging has all you need to know printed on the side of the box.

I was really surprised to get a full size to trial so was delighted to find out what goodness it could do. The jar had a handy press down top that allowed you to get the desired amount - about the size of a pea which would cover my face. The first few times I used it I had a tingling feeling on my skin but I put it down to the good active ingredients starting to work. I used it twice a week like they said and every 2nd day for the second week so really haven't seen much difference. I did get breakouts but that is not unusual for me. My skin did feel a little pumper but not sure I have noticed any improvement to the plumpness of my skin after this short time though. I'm keen to see the full results once I get to use it on a nightly basis.

I really liked the one press delivery of this cream , its much more hygenic than dipping your fingers in a pot and it delivers exactly the right amount too. The cream smelt pleasant and wasn't overwhelming in fragrance. It made my skin feel lovely and soft after just two weeks, i didnt notice any wrinkle reduction as yet , but i have only been using it two weeks, i did notice it was very moisturising and my skin does look quite clear. I have used retinol products before so i thought i would be ok to use it almost daily immediately instead of working up to it over a few weeks, however my skin did start to peel a bit, so i have gone back to working up to using it a couple of times a week. I do like it and will continue to use it and see how much my skin improves.

There are warnings about using this cream on sensitive skin. The instructions require you to build up usage slowly to allow skin to get used to it. The first day that I used this product my skin was very red and sore as my husband had just had a massive heart attack and I had been doing a lot of crying and I have sensitive skin. I was worried I would have a reaction with all that irritation along with my sensitivity but it did not sting or hurt. Once I started using it on a daily basis I had a couple of days with mild redness and a slight sting but it went away quickly. So far the product has made my skin feel very soft, plumper and firmer. I believe there may have been very slight reduction in wrinkles but at this stage I’m not willing to say that it does improve wrinkles. My neck feels smooth and glorious. It’s a lovely rich and luxurious cream that is absorbed easily and leaves my skin feeling nicely moisturised. I love the packaging of this product. The bottle dispenser is awesome! You only need a small amount and it glides on easily and has excellent coverage. It will be interesting to see how well it dispenses when it is near the end of the bottle and how much is left in the bottom.

Feels great on the skin, nicely scented and refreshing to apply. Good enough however I didn't see any changes to my wrinkles.

I already use a number of L'Oreal products so was exited to get this as a trial

The pottle is lovely. The product smells good and i especially liked the way the product came out (push down on lid and a pea sized blob comes out). Easy to apply. The amount in the pottle would likely last 2 months or so i think. Its a similar price to my other products and if you keep an eye out on places like Farmers they usually have a good sale (or Chemist Warehouse).

I followed directions by using 2x a week for first week (wed and Sunday). I will admit i was worried as i tend to be sensitive to certain ingredients and my daughter many years had a severe burning of skin with another retinol product. Thankfully NO severe reactions for me!

As a lot of my L'Oreal products are in a similar squarish pottle, it was good to get this one in a round one. I avoided my eye area as instructed. I put some on my upper chest also and this was the only place through the trial for the first 4x using that i felt a little itchy, (very mild around 1 collarbone in particular) but no redness, no reaction. Feels soft and skin felt great including the next day. The 2nd week i applied every 2nd night. All times i followed up the next day with my usual day cream (L'Oreal day cream with inbuilt SPF) .

REACTION????: If anything i noticed when i sat near the heated air con my face tended to go quite flushed, but upon moving away it settled. I suppose its in keeping with avoiding the sun or wearing a sunscreen the next day as recommended. And again the slight itching on my neck only. Currently i am sitting under the air con and have removed all makeup (will put product on later tonight) and i do find my skin feels dry/tight until i apply some nightcream which never felt this dry prior to using this. But still nothing obvious to look at

Im not one with many wrinkles and what i have mainly only show when i smile. I do have marionette lines that are obvious however. Did i see any drastic changes in 2 weeks? No..not really but im now in the stage (3rd week) that i can apply daily or as tolerated so i will keep using this. I have some uneven skin tone so im hoping this product will sort that out

Would i purchase? Hmm... i already use the day cream with SPF and their night cream with HA, so would i alternate this with my nightcream, or replace my night cream? I dont think so. I think if at the end of this month i see some changes then yes i would swap out....otherwise no, id go back to my usual night cream

My ratings are based on changes in my skin in the past 2 weeks. I'm kinda neutral on it as i think i need longer using it. I will come back and post later after a longer use of this.

Only downside was the writing on the container and box was super small, but thats me being picky. Also i was a bit paranoid about the ingredients and did not want to get this in my eye accidently, probably more concerned then my usual sunscreen getting in my eye when my eyes water :)

when i just applied it , it feels so smooth and light ,not greasy at all ,but did not see much improvement on my skin .

I have used retinol creams in the past, and not had any issues with them. Unfortunately for me and my skin this one was way too strong. I started by using it every other day, but by the third use my skin was very dry, and when I used my usual mist toner my skin went extremely red and took hours to calm down. I stopped using the retinal cream at that point, and unfortunately the only product I could put on my face was paw paw ointment and rosehip oil. It was over a week before the dryness dissipated and I was able to return to my normal routines. I will try again, but maybe just once a week until my skin has gotten used to it. I have never had this issue with retinal creams previously so it took me by surprise. The cream is highly perfumed, but quite light, I found it absorbed well. The container it comes in is fantastic, no dirty fingers, or having to find a spatula for this one. 'd love all my creams to come in a container like this!
