I am slowly getting to the recommended age for the L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Golden. I have sensitive dry skin and some redness. I have been using the product for a few weeks (Jul/Aug 2019). I have been pleased with the cream from the very first time I used it.
In the winter, I go from the warmth of my office to the cold of a warehouse many times during the day. I walk and hike regularly. I need to wear products that will hydrate and nourish my skin, but also keep it young looking without running down when I am sweating. L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Golden Age passed the test and I have been going home after 5pm with a skin still very well hydrated.
The cream's rosy colour mixes very well with the skin. I have been applying a big pea size amount of the day cream every morning on top of the L'Oreal Paris radiance re-activating serum. The cream is creamy and not greasy at all. I really enjoy using it. It penetrates my skin nicely and I can exercise without having it running down my face. There is a hint of a peony fragrance that dissipates very quickly. After a few weeks, with a daily application, I still have 3/4 in the container. My skin is looking nice and healthy. The pot is easy to open and close.
I wish the cream had a SPF.
The packaging is discreet. I find it nice and simple. The packaging has a PAP recycling logo. The pot is made of glass. I would think only the top and inside lids can't be recycled.
I would recommend the product to my friends 50 and over. My skin was instantly intensely hydrated and very comfortable without feeling tight.
I was quite surprised to receive an invite for this trial as the product seems to target VERY MATURE skin - and at 50 years old, I don't think I am ticking that box yet.....hopefully. But on reading the box, ages 30-50 can get benefit of re-densifying the skin as well as the rosy glow activated by the flower extracts (Imperial Peony and Iris) and Neo-Calcium. It is also recommended that you apply after using the serum from the same range, but this was not provided for this review. As a day cream, I think sun protection should always be a factor in proactively avoiding sun damage, but this sample product has no SPF rating. L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Golden Age Rosy Re-densifying Day Cream is thick and luxurious to the touch with a very light pleasant fragrance. There is a surprising amount in the 50 ml pot but you really don't need to use much, as a little goes a long way. I have used this every day day of the trial and have found that it absorbs quickly and makes a nice base to a foundation. Overall my skin is more hydrated and plumper with a better look to my face all day. Being winter time, I cannot comment on whether it will make my skin greasy in summer though. A couple of super dry spots have certainly benefited and by also applying over the lip area, I have avoided dry lip cracking over these winter months, which I struggle with. I can't really say my skin has more of a rosy glow though. I am undecided if the rosy colour of the cream is a gimmick or the ingredients really promote a more youthful colour. I do notice a sparkly glimmer on my skin however. Take care when applying around the neck area as I did notice that getting the cream on your clothes does cause light staining. I love L'Oreal for their on-going product development and innovation. Also, that their products are available at the supermarket, for each of shopping, and they are reasonably priced.
Tips: Watch out for the same product with an SPF rating, or be sure to take sun protection into consideration in another product of your regime.
