L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Collagen Expert Retightening Care Day Cream

I very much enjoyed my trial of the L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Collagen Expert Retightening Care Day Cream.

I have a few age spots and the usual fine lines and wrinkles one would expect from a woman of my age. I have moderately dry skin.

This day cream soaks into the skin with no residue or greasy aftermath. It is lightly scented, not unpleasant or overbearing, just a, dare-I-say-it, skin care-ry scent.

I have noticed a real reduction in the colouring of my age spots, whether this will continue I don't know, but even if the fading I've experienced so far was the max I was to get, I'd be blooming stoked!

Retightening is a bit of a scary word I think, I hate the thought of tight skin, it makes me think of that horrible over-cleansed feeling. Thankfully this doesn't feel anything like that! It feels good, a gentle firming sensation.

Great product, will be telling my friends!

Firstly, thank you to Beauty Review for sending me this lovely product to trial.

I really enjoy using L'Oreal skin care products, I have never been disappointed in any of their products.

This is a day cream, the claims on the packaging are, after 1 day skin is intensely re-hydrated, more elastic and radiant. After 1 month sagging is visibly reduced by 15% and the contours of the face are visibly redefined.

I can attest to the 1 day claim, I was happy after the first day, my skin looked and felt great. I have used this cream for around 14 days and I am noticing my skin, especially around my eye area is looking firmer and younger.

The cream contains collagen amino acid fractions. These are found naturally in our skin and as we age we need more help to keep our skin firm. The cream also includes Melanin, this ingredient helps reduce age spots and pigmentation, which is particularly helpful for me.

The cream comes in a glass pot, 50mls. It is thick and luxurious with a very nice scent. It goes onto my face smoothly and absorbs well. I do give this day cream quite a while to absorb before I start my make up.

I feel there wasn’t much difference between the day and the night cream. It has a very light scent that you can’t smell once applied. It spreads easily even though it’s a firm cream (won’t run out of the pot if you knocked it over). It isn’t greasy so I felt it created a good base for makeup. I have some dry patches which aren’t nearly as noticeable so I’ll keep using this product to reduce them even further. Definitely recommend if you’re starting to see lines and early stages of aging.

This day cream comes in very attractive white and gold packaging. The product itself has a very light, pleasant scent and is a very pale apricot in colour. The day cream absorbs into your skin very quickly so you get on with applying sunscreen and make-up without having to wait around. It does leave your skin feeling very moisturised and nourished throughout the day. Some of the L’Oreal creams can be quite thick in texture but this one spreads easily so you don’t feel like you’re pulling at your skin when applying.

I really liked this day cream and did notice how soft and moisturised my skin felt right through the day. If you’re looking for a good day moisturising cream this one is definitely worth trying

I've enjoyed using this day cream. It is a cooling cream upon application, refreshing the skin. A wonderful and sumptuous start to the day.

I love the L'Oreal packaging and branding, it's simple but effective. There's a lot of info on the pack, so keep your glasses on!

The results have met my expectations and then some - my skin is firmer, smoother and looks brighter. It is very moisturised and very soft.

I've not given it full marks as it doesn't have SPF in it, and I think that's a must for a day cream for Kiwi skin.

I was very grateful to be chosen to trial this product, thanks goes to Beauty Review and L'Oreal. I thought the packaging classical as is the jar. The jar is white with a gold lid and is square making it easy to grasp and open, a plus for older not so nimble fingers. L’Oreal Paris Age Perfect Collagen Expert Re tightening Care Day Cream is ideal for mature skin or skin that has age spots or is sagging I have dry skin and some moisturisers feel too light. When I first tried this one I thought the consistency was quite thick but I soon realised after applying it all over my face and neck that it absorbed well, especially once warmed it spread beautifully.

It left my skin feeling soft and silky. You don't need to use a lot to get a hydrating feeling and I love how hydrating this cream is, it has really helped with my dry skin and the effects last all day long.

It has no overpowering scent so would suit most people. I have noticed a slight lightening of the darker patches on my face however I didn't notice a great deal of difference in my skin given the trial time but it felt good so that's a plus.

L'Oreal is a brand I trust and have used many times so I would recommend this to anyone.

I've been using this cream now for about 10 or so days. I did receive it as part of a trial team, but I can honestly say that it is making a difference already- tightening and improving the firmness and smoothness of my face & neck. The cream is aimed at the 50+ group focussing on anti-sagging and anti-age spots (some of the joys accompanying & after menopause!). I have no age spots to mention but definite anti-sagging is happening. The peachy coloured, lightly fragranced cream is reasonably thick but quickly absorbs well without feeling greasy. The packaging is the classic white/ gold L'Oreal cardboard outer and the cream is contained in a 50ml white opaque square glass pottle with a gold lid. Writing/ instructions on the outer package is large enough to read, except the ingredients- which need glasses. There doesn't appear to be any SPF in this cream so make sure you wear sun protection. I've been slathering the cream on so I estimate it will last me perhaps 6 weeks - 8 weeks My take on this is that it's worth a go if things are starting to head a bit downwards :)

I am a little disappointed in this day cream by my favourite skincare brand L’Oreal. Yes, it is designed for the more mature skin but I find it far too heavy for a day cream. It’s not easy to apply and to be honest I can’t find a lot of difference between this and the night cream consistency wise. It also does not contain a SPF which is an absolute must these days. However, once on it seems to do the job okay and my skin feels hydrated all day.

I like this day cream, I just don't love it. I didn't find it very tightening (but then, I've only been using it for 2 weeks, and they say on the packaging to allow a month to see any 'retightening') but it was very moisturising and left my skin feeling refreshed and hydrated. I have quite dry skin that usually needs a bit of extra TLC so I found this day cream to be great in that respect, I just haven't seen any sign of the retightening results. I'll continue to use it until the jar is empty and re-evaluate whether to purchase another jar at that stage.

As to the packaging, it's the usual pot which is easy opening and very pleasant to look at. The cream itself is quite thick so I warm some up in my hands before I apply and that really helps it to spread nicely. It doesn't seem to pill under makeup and leaves my skin feeling nice and smooth afterwards.

It doesn't have any SPF so you'll need to wear sunscreen over it (no big deal for me as I wear sunscreen every day regardless, but worth mentioning if you don't).

Overall, a nice cream that does a good job of moisturising. If it wasn't for the retightening claim, I'd probably rate it higher but given that I've only been using it for 2 weeks, I can only comment on what I know to be true thus far.

Thi day cream does suit my skin. Fortunately I am not very wrinkled for someone of 70 and this cream certainly goes a long way to tightening the small lines without leaving any residue.. I will keep using it because I have had no adverse side effects at all. We cannot expect miracles though using a good cream like this every day goes a long way to improving and maintaining our complexion as well as we can. It works well under my makeup too which is important for me. I give it a tick and certainly recommend this Day Cream very positively.
