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.

Reviews
Tips: Do not judge a product by its price tag or brand. Luxury is not the definitive best.
This product is marketing the 45+ age group so is fairly obviously an anti-aging product. I was very pleased to be part of this trial as I love trying new skin care products especially anti-aging ones & seeing if they live up to their promises. This is an anti-wrinkle firming day cream. It is developed to: - reduce wrinkles (in 85% of women) - firms the skin (in 96% of women) - nourish skin (in 98% of women) So, does it live up to its promises? First of all the packaging is fine; a glass pot which makes it easier to access the cream. It smells very nice - a lovely fresh fragrance & not too overpowering. Also a great texture to this cream. I did keep a close eye on my fine wrinkles but did not notice a massive difference as yet; but am keeping positive as I have only been using it for 2 weeks & the blurb says to give it 4 weeks. It definitely firms the skin & it really does feel silky smooth & I think my skin looks much better too. One of the main bonuses for me it that the cream feels lovely & light on the skin. Often products for mature skin are just so heavy (in order to moisturise) they feel revolting. This kept my skin nicely hydrated all day but without feeling greasy. This is another plus point. The cream is absorbed really well so that it does it's (anti-aging) job within the skin & also moisturises. So, in a nutshell - I really liked this product & will definitely continue to use it. I am hopeful that my fines lines will reduce. It is a trusted brand that I have used many times in the past & again will continue to do so. I think this product has a place in the market & will recommend it to my friends.
Tips: Worth trying; I think it will have many converts.
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 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
Tips: It's quite a hydrating product so you don't need very much product, a little goes a long way!
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.
Tips: Don't forget to apply sunscreen - this doesn't have SPF.
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.
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 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.
This luscious hydrating day cream has my skin looking and feeling soft, smooth & silky...And, in my opinion the texture of my face does look and feel firmer, plumper and has a more youthful glow. The fine lines that are beginning to develop around my mouth not being so obvious is a great plus for me! The packaging is no frills and the pot size is excellant value for money, as a very small amount of the cream goes a very long way. The gentle fresh scent is perfect for my sensitive skin (and nose as I have a real dislike for strongly scented products).This luxurious day cream melts into and onto my tired, thirsty skin leaving me looking and feeling hydrated, refreshed and ready for the day. If I was going out and wearing makeup I would wait for the cream to be fully absorbed before applying as it is quite rich. I will most definitely purchase this product and recommend to anyone looking for gentle intensive moisture.
Tips: Don't forget your regular facial sunscreen as there's no SPF Keep hands scrupulously clean, wash before using to avoid possible introduction of bacteria in to the pot. When using intensive facial serums and moisturisers etc never waste any product left over massage this into hands and onto your chest to help these areas age gracefully as well. x
