Once I got over the fact that I have reached an age that requires a specific hydrating cream, I was quite excited to trial this new product, especially before it has been released.
It comes in a glass jar, which gives it an expensive (upmarket) feel to it. It is quite small (only 50ml) but luckily a small amount goes a long way. It absorbs well into my skin and doesn't feel greasy or oily afterwards. The product is quite a thick consistency, and has a soft faint perfume smell to it.
It states on the box to apply every morning, but because it doesn't contain SPF I have been using it after cleansing at night. The consistency is thick enough to almost be a night cream.
I haven't seen a difference in the appearance of my face - there is no demonstrable difference in my fine lines or wrinkle. However it does feel better - firmer, more toned, and smoother. Hopefully it is working its magic though to prevent any new lines and wrinkles (the ones I already have are probably a lost cause!).
I was included in the pre release trial for this new product. On opening the product, I was a bit disappointed as the box looks like any other L’Oréal Day cream and its hard to differ what new and improved about this formula. It states it is a ‘wrinkle expert’ with 35+ collagen (which I thought was a collagen level, until I read the back of the box and realised it was stating age), but as it mentions it 1.Smoothes wrinkles, 2. Improves firmness and 3. Hydrates 24hr , this clarifies it is a product suited to me. One thing I was unsure in the box was under clinically proven results, -28% of women trialled had wrinkles appear reduced..I wasn’t sure if this was a great result to print on the box. On opening the decent sized (50ml) tub, I noticed the consistency was quite thick, a lot different to the daily moisturiser I have been using for the past 15 years. On applying this to my skin though this thickish cream was quickly absorbed. It has a pleasant smell and leaves my skin feeling very well moisturised. I have now been applying this cream everyday for the past three weeks. I did have a wee break out in the first week, maybe due to the change in product but this cleared quickly. Three weeks later, my skin feels smoother and well moisturised. I now feel like my previous moisturiser was not up to standard at all. I have received several comments in the last week how my skin looks very healthy so even though I struggle to see it looking closely in the mirror, this cream must have made a difference. I am now over halfway through my tub (which are great, as with this tubs you can get every last bit of product out) and will be buying a replacement of this product as I am very happy with how this is working.
