L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler Day Cream Review

Like L'Oreal's other day creams, this one also delivers. I'm 43 and tend to have normal to dry skin. More dry in winter - so I love hydrating skin products.

This day cream is in L'Oreals signature glass jar like the other regimes. The lid I've always loved - easy open/close.

The moisturiser itself is slightly thicker than some day creams I've used recently but I really love that with it being thicker it feels richer and more nourishing on the skin. It glides on easily, so you use this product sparingly. It absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave a shiny or oily finish. Skin feels hydrated, smooth and lines look a little softened.

This day cream I found was very hydrating. I would normally use a facial oil before my moisturiser but with this day cream I haven't needed the oil (morning or night!) for the usual hydration boost.

For the past 4 weeks, using this product, I've felt my skins hydration has been well balanced, and skin has been soft and hydrated all day with the use of this cream. I've had no break-outs. At the end of the day my makeup wasn't sitting heavy or dry looking in any fine lines. My skin looked great at the end of the day.

Overall I think this cream is fantastic. It helps hydrate and plump. It's not a miracle worker, but it definitely softens lines and gives your skin a healthy glow that lasts all day. I love that the hydration isn't short-lived either. My skin has felt fantastic for 4 weeks. I'd love the 'plumping' to be a little more - but with more use I think the results will come. I'd also love to see the day cream come with an SPF - but I have a primer I use over top to provide the SPF protection I need for my skin.

I really liked the packaging on this as it was easy to identify between the day and night cream. I found this soothing and nourishing, and was a good base for my make up. If applied with the filler serum then I didn't have to use very much of this product at all and still found it hydrating. My skin did not feel dehydrated during the working day under AC!

The cream has a nice texture and smell, and it feels nice and hydrating going on. Within an hour my skin looked dry and I had to reapply, my skin seemed drier after I applied it, I felt like I used a lot. It would only last a month maximum. I wouldn’t use it again, it also seemed to come off my skin like dandruff it was horrible if I rubbed my skin I had blobs of stuff coming off, it was horrible.

My L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Filler regime arrived 10 days ago, and I’ve been using the day moisturiser for the past 8/9 days. This moisturiser comes in an attractive silvery-purple pottle. And the whole regime comes attractively packaged in pretty, metallic pinky-purple boxes.

I’ve been using this day cream exactly as directed, applying it a few minutes after allowing the serum to settle into my skin.

The first thing I noticed once opening this product was its pleasant fragrance. All too often, skincare products can either smell too strong or have no fragrance at all. Not so with this Loreal day cream, its scent is really lovely.

Its consistency, however, is slightly richer and thicker than what I’m used to. I prefer lighter, thinner moisturising creams in general as they seem to go further when applying and don’t feel quite as heavy once applied. However, massaging this cream into your skin is not a problem if you use the serum first. The serum assists in helping you to spread on the day cream more easily and evenly, so in my opinion it’s crucial to use the serum first (this is what L’Oréal recommends anyway). Besides, now that I’m in my 40s, perhaps it’s time for me to accept that a thicker, richer moisturiser might be necessary for my skin. And I guess the actual results are much more important at this stage of life than how a product feels to apply...

So, how ‘bout those results, I hear you ask. Let’s cut to the chase! Well, I can tell you my skin feels MUCH softer and smoother since using this moisturiser. It also looks healthier and possibly even slightly younger too, so it does seem to aid in filling wrinkles and revolumising facial skin. This cream - along with the whole regime - feels plumping and revitalising, so ‘Revitalift’ is an apt name for this range.

I absolutely do recommend this day cream, but only when it’s used along with the serum for ease of application. Four kisses.
