I have long been a 'product snob' and am always keen to try new things to preserve my skin especially having hit the 50; so I jumped at the chance to try a 'mystery product'. I must now hang my head in shame as I have trialed a product that I love, which is neither hideously priced nor salon only. Twice a day I cleanse, tone serum and moisturize.Sunscreen, a must, in the morning. The only step I replaced was with this day cream and I did indeed see a difference, in my skin, over the weeks I used it. It was easily absorbed and my skin felt hydrated with a really nice glow. There was a definite improvement in smoothness. The fragrance was pleasant but not overpowering. I'm not entirely sure whether there was an improvement in firmness and I wish I had taken before and after photos to give a definitive answer. I will definitely be re purchasing and have already recommended this to a friend of a similar vintage.

Tips: Do not judge a product by its price tag or brand. Luxury is not the definitive best.
I was really excited to be selected for this trial and the product I received was from a brand that I'm really familiar with - not sure if we're allowed to name it yet. The day cream is very light and definitely non-greasy which is fantastic. The one down side is that it doesn't appear to include an SPF which is pretty important in our environment and something I do tend to look for in a day cream. Having said that, it really doesn't take a lot of effort to add sunscreen into your beauty routine. I think it is something the company should look at including, however, even if they have it as an option to choose from.
After using the day cream for a couple of weeks, my skin definitely felt less dry - it had been at the Sahara stage so, if this cream was going to work I would notice a difference, and I did. I love that it's such a light consistency and has a lovely fragrance. There was a noticeable difference in the texture and condition of the skin on my neck too - always a bonus if you've entered the 'older' age group that this day cream targets.
I would love to buy this when it's released but would really love the option of a day cream with a built in SPF. Overall, I think it does live up to the high standards of the products that this company is so well-known for.
This product definitely does what it says it will. Over 4 weeks I noticed a distinct improvement in some of the finer lines around my eyes and my skin feels softer. Its quite a light product that absorbs quickly into your skin. One of my issues with most moisturisers is after 2 hours or so my skin starts to feel dry. Not with this, easy to apply, easily absorbed and keeps my skin hydrated. I will certainly be purchasing as my ongoing moisturiser. Tough time of year to test a moisturiser - lots of Christmas parties, late nights and not drinking enough water. It held up admirably!
Tips: A light sun screen over the top worked well for the outdoor Christmas activity.
I was impressed with this product as the texture wasn't heavy or oily but neither was it too light. There was enough to make a impression as it went on and was absorbed leaving a slight surface layer. It felt protective without being sticky or weighing the skin down. The cream smelt "as though it knew what it was doing" and was pleasant without lingering. On days when it has been hot and I have had another shower I have reapplied this product. My skin does seem a bit softer and wrinkles haven't deepened. My skin does feel firmer as a result. I will buy this when the 50ml jar runs out.
Tips: Put on after showering or washing you face when skin is clean and slightly damp to aid absorption. Keep away from thin skin around eyes.
I was extremely lucky to get a chance to review this product, and I love it! It goes on the skin well and absorbs nicely. I found this to be very hydrating and my makeup went over the top well. The only thing I didn’t like was the scent I don’t like face creams with scents but that’s only my opinion and it wasn’t a strong scent.
Tips: For the price this is a good product that does what it says it will.
I have been using this product for a week. I have just turned 40 and have really noticed my skin appearance changing. I have combination to oily skin so I have always found it difficult to find a moisturiser that doesn’t over oil or cause breakouts. This product has been great. It absorbs quickly, smells great and leaves my skin feeling very soft. So far I have suffered no breakouts and my skin tone seems to be evening out. No change to the wrinkles yet though :)
This is a light, easily spreadable facial cream. I like the fragrance, it disappears soon after cream has bee applied. A small amount is needed and is easily massaged into skin. I noticed my skin was smoother and more supple after the first week. It did smooth out fine wrinkles on my forehead and face, however my deeper wrinkles need a more concentrated serum and I use a seperate L’Oreal cream around my eyes. A sunscreen component would make this a real winner for me.
Tips: A small amount goes a long way.
I am still in my 30s I wanted to give some of this line a try since I had fair results from the revitalift serum & night cream. I notice it's slightly thicker than the revitalift cream and feels a lot less oily on the skin surface and soaks in faster but it's not as thick as the cream for 55+ I tend to go for night creams and wear sunscreen in the summer or when I'm going to be in the sun because I burn easily so I was a bit baffled as to why Loreal haven't put spf in this day cream . This cream has a fresh kind of scent which I am sure I've smelt before I think it is the same type of smell in the Garnier face exfoliant cleanser I have been using. I think there's potential for this cream with continued use but I am baffled as to why they put retinol in a day cream. Retinol oxidises in sunlight so using in the day seems silly to me and I think this should be a night cream for that reason. The box says avoid eye areas yet supposedly improves crow's feet - it doesn't make sense. My target areas are wrinkles on my forehead frown lines and round my eye lines. Unfortunately it's too early to comment on weather this one is actually improving the targeted areas but I think it will but I'm doubtful if I use it during the day that the results will be very good given retinol doesn't like daylight. Honestly after putting it on exfoliated prepared skin there was a little discomfort round my crows feet area. I don't really use day creams I just use night cream and this one I think is best suited for night time for best results. I do burn easily so I do need something preferably with sunscreen. I plan to update this on how effective the wrinkle reversing is at some point. I am not convinced it is going to be amazing and wind back the years - I use something that actually does that and I stop temporarily so that my skin doesn't get immune or too used to it and it tends to show when I have stopped because the lines come back faster or slower depending on stress and what alternative cream I am using in the interim. I will use in between my favourite wrinkle fighter and see how it goes.
Tips: Honestly I would use at night for the best results as retinol oxidises in the sunlight
I was really pleased to get to review this product as I have had great results from other L'oreal products and find them a good price point. The packaging is not very exciting to look at but I was really pleased when I opened the jar to find the cream is unperfumed and a lovely thick and creamy texture. The cream was very easy to apply with both a brush or your fingers and absorbs well into your skin. I was concerned about applying makeup over the top but it wasn't a problem at all and is nice to have the SPF already in the product to protect my skin. You don't need to use a lot of the product so it is definitely going to last a long time despite the jar looking small it is an economical buy for a wrinkle cream especially given it has the SPF as well. The cream was really nice to apply and when applying with my fingertips I can really feel how hydrating it is. I definitely feel it plumps up my skin and has slightly reduced my wrinkles with the extra nourishment and will definitely continue using this in the future. I think it would also be a lovely nighttime cream so now my trial is over I am going to apply it twice a day as I'm interested in seeing the results over a longer time frame. I have very sensitive skin and rosacea so am prone to breakouts and this cream didn't irritate my skin at all. I would definitely recommend trying this product if you are over 45 and looking for extra hydration with an SPF at a reasonble price.
Tips: Allow time before applying makeup on top.
I was sent the anti-wrinkle firming day cream to try out because I'm at the age where I do have a few wrinkles here and there.
The cream cones in a small glass jar so it's easy to apply. It has a lovely fragrance which is quite a big bonus and one of the reasons I would buy it again. Once applied to your skin, it has a light feel to it, not heavy or greasy. It leaves your skin feeling quite nourished and hydrated. After using it for four weeks, I think it has made the appearance of wrinkles less prominent.; this will due to the retina-peptide.
I'm looking forward to using this product in future (once it is ready to go). I'm also looking forward to trying out other products within this range.
Tips: A little hoes a long way.
