L'Oreal Paris Wrinkle Expert 45+ Reviews

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.

I was so excited to recieve this product, feeling a little like a secret spy agent waiting for my secret package. I had a feeling it would be a L’Oréal product as they always develop new skincare technology often, so I was delighted to receive the L'Oréal Wrinkle Expert - Forming Cream Day 45+. I have used lots of similar products before so I had high expectations, and I was not disappointed. The cream has such a lovely, delicate scent to it and also a lovely thick creamy consistency. I applied in the mornings, after I cleansed my skin. With the product being so thick you don’t have to use so much of it so I really liked that. I usually apply serums before my moisturiser, however to get the full effect of this product, I omitted them. The cream absorbs easily and left my skin feeling very soft, refreshed and hydrated. I havent noticed that my skin has reduced wrinkles or that its improved the firmness but it does feel more nourished and brighter. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and I shall also be continuing to use it myself

I loved trialling this lovely product. It is a day cream with retino-peptides that claims to improve skin firmness and smoothness. It is also an anti-wrinkle product. The cream has a thick consistency (not too thick though) and it absorbs instantly. My skin just drinks it up. I love the clean, fresh smell. No irritation has occurred and I do have sensitive skin. My skin feels moist and hydrated after application. I haven't noticed any improvement in smoothness or firmness, but then again, I always use a much more expensive Estee Lauder daycream that has firming properties. I have to add that my skin feels equally good on this as when I use the Lauder firming day cream. The packaging is nice and sleek. I have also given this to my husband to try and will be most happy to recommend this to friends. It is very good value for money and I will use this again in future.

Firstly, the packaging is great. I like that it comes in a glass jar, which can be reused or recycled. Unlike a lot of other products, with this product, you’re able to get every last bit of the cream out of the jar. This cream has no sun block, so if you’re like me and you wear a sunblock 365 days of the year, then you’ll still need to wear a sunblock over the top of this cream. It has a lovely, subtle scent which I found quite pleasant. It goes on really smoothly and I found it made my skin look and feel really nice. It certainly reduced any dryness in my skin. In terms of reducing wrinkles, I have some wrinkling above my lips and I saw no change in that. I didn’t really notice any firming of my skin, but to be honest, I’m not sure any cream can actually deliver on the promise of firmer skin. Having said that, I would definitely use this moisturiser again and will certainly buy it in future. I felt it delivered as good a result as many of the far more expensive brands I have used.

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.

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 :)

I am shy of 50 and have sensitive dry skin in the Summer time. I am trying as much as possible to take good care of my skin by having a good hygiene, a good diet, and by using products that suit me. I have been using the new Wrinkle Expert 45+ by l'Oréal Paris for a few weeks. The cream contains some retino-peptides, which are a powerful complex of Pro Retinol A and peptides. I am convinced. The results are as good as the cream I am currently using and costs 4 times less. The consistency of the cream is good, not too fluid or too thick. It is easy to get the right amount on my finger in one go. I personally use a full teaspoon of cream to cover my face and neck. It penetrates quickly and leaves my skin fresh and radiant. I can easily apply my foundation cream soon after or just leave my skin as is. The best outcome for me is that the cream hydrates my skin for 24 hours. I can see that the elasticity of my skin has improved. I tested the cream while biking and hiking. It did the job and the cream didn't run down my cheeks. The cream is lightly scented. The smell lasts only a few minutes. Using the cream daily, I estimate that the 50 ml pot will last me 2 months. The packaging is simple. The giftbox has a PAP recycling logo, the pot is made of glass. I am not sure however if the lid can be recycled. I would definitely recommend Wrinkle Expert 45+ to my friends. It definitely hydrates my skin and keeps it soft and supple.

Having just turned 45 I think this product was tailor made for me. It claims to 1. Smooth Wrinkles; 2. Improve Firmness; and 3. Hydrate for 24 hours.

On first opening of the glass tub, I noticed that this had quite a strong, but pleasant fragrance that I found refreshing. It does not contain SPF.

The cream itself wasn't as heavy as I was expecting - it was lighter - but it was still rich and smooth to apply. It definitely felt like it was adding hydration to my skin and I can confirm that the hydration lasted for a whole day. My makeup was smooth to apply over the top of it and over time I felt that the cream helped to improve the texture of my skin.

In this way it also smoothed some fine lines and I think this is due to the inclusion of Retino-Peptides. Given the quality of the product, I'm excited that this will be available and accessible to all.

Overall I was really impressed with this product. Because it didn't have SPF, I applied an SPF over it during the day - one that I have used regularly so that I was sure of the results - and it performed really well.

Because it is a trusted brand, I know that the claims and research supporting them are robust.
