L'Oreal Paris Wrinkle Expert 45+ SPF 20

I have dry, sensitive skin so prefer a thick creamy moisturiser which is what this is. The fragrance is light & pleasant and a little goes a long way. I also like that the jar isn’t plastic which is always nice with a product which retails for under $20. While I didn’t notice any difference in fine lines nor do I have age spots my skin definitely felt firmer and looked smoother. Unfortunately this was at the cost of not feeling moisturised. My skin felt tight and uncomfortable after applying the L’Oreal Paris Wrinkle Expert 45+ SPF 20. I ended up applying a serum first and then the moisturiser which made a huge difference. Is this product value for money? Yes & no. If your skin is normal/combination, I would say yes. If you have dry skin, it’s a no unless you also use a serum. Would I recommend it to a friend? It would depend on their skin type but I would probably recommend something different in the same price bracket. I am happy my skin didn’t flare up though so unless your skin is super reactive this should be a safe bet.

I was a little nervous to try this product as I have combination skin and sometimes find these moisturisers for older skin too heavy... but this definitely wasn't the case with this one! It has a lovely scent and is light and easy to apply, melting into my skin easily. My skin feels hydrated all day long with no oily patches on my T zone. It has SPF 20 which I wish was higher, but happy it has some protection. My skin tone has definitely improved and evened out... dark patches lightening and red broken capillaries less visible which is incredible after only a couple of weeks! I haven't really noticed any reduction in my wrinkles, but as mentioned earlier, I have not used this product for very long and am hoping this will happen over time. Overall, I would definitely recommend this moisturiser.

Another great moisturiser by L’Oréal. Packaging as expected with L’Oréal‘S skin care ranges. Quite a heavy jar with a easy to use screw on and off lid

The product itself is quite thick which meant my skin felt instantly nourished and hydrated. I used it Morning and night and always woke with my skin feeling hydrated. Loved that it had an SPF on it - wish it was higher to suit NZ’s harsh sun but I used a sunscreen over top. Makeup say great over this moisturiser with no issues at all and skin felt great all day!

I imagine with long term use the wrinkles and firmness would continue to improve - but hard to know after only a couple of weeks of use but my skin certainly appeared plumper and skin firmer. My skin isn’t overly wrinkly but the fine lines certainly seemed less visible particular with make up.

Another great product by L’Oréal. Love that they have ranges targeting the mid 40’s age group!

I have been using the L'Oreal Paris Wrinkle Expert 45+ SPF 20? For the last few weeks. My skin has started to look amazing. It has definatly firmed up. Would use again.

I have been using L'Oreal Paris Wrinkle Expert 45+ SPF 20 for a few weeks now. My skin feels firmer which reduce the fine lines. Will use it again!

I feel like the most amazing effect I’ve had from trialling this day cream is the softness I feel in my cheeks. It’s just wow. After a couple of days of use my skin was smoother and softer and looks fresher in the morning after applying. After two weeks I’m sure my lines are slightly reduced.

So the product itself, it’s quite a thick texture probably a wee bit much for my combination skin but it made BB Cream application afterwards a lot easier. Because it’s got a SPF in it I found there was a bit of a white cast on applying but it quickly absorbed. It has a nice fragrance and you only need a fingertip full so a pottle will last a few months.

My day routine is cleanse, tone, serum, moisturise(or SPF) then BB if I’m working and I’m normally a light sunscreen lotion kind of lady so this cream was a bit heavier than I’m used to.

My skin feels comfortable later in the day and not at all oily which I sometimes get with heavier day creams. My age spots haven’t changed I think after a month but I do keep touching my cheeks to check they really are as soft as they are - just for this reason this cream rocks! Note though I am working my way through an expensive serum sample at night so I can’t rule out that one is helping too. I haven’t noticed any negative side effects I’ve heard retinols have and this was the first retinol I’ve tried.

I’m definitely going to purchase a night version of this (if they do one) once my jar is up instead of this one as it’s just a bit heavy for me but if you need extra day moisture this is a winner.

First time trying a dedicated 45+ product, and having used L'Oreal products on and off over the past 20 years, I was looking forward to giving this a go. Very pleased to see it contains an SPF20, along with Pro Retinol A and Peptides to which help stimulate the skins regeneration process, as I'm currently using another Retinol product. The packaging is very typical L'Oreal, with the box outlining proven results in 4 weeks of 82% of women with smoother skin, 30% age spot visibilty reduction, and 76% more with radiant skin.

The glass pottle with wide top is good to access the product inside. The cream itself is light, not thick, with a slight colour, and fragrance that isn't strong or overwhelming, such a familar scent for L'Oreal moisturisers. It goes on very easily. I usually use a richer cream moisturiser, so it took me a few days to get used to using a different amount of this lighter texture cream. Easily absorbed, and is not greasy at all. Skin felt hydrated and moisturised throughout the day.

My skin did react a little over 2 weeks, with small bumps on my forehead and cheeks, and my cheeks started to feel a little drier than normal, however I continued use. I haven't noticed any difference with reduced wrinkles or nourishment in this space of time which coincided with some drying, environment conditions of winter.

My tester for new products is to use on the back of one hand during a trial period, and in this case, the skin felt smooth and hydrated, without any noticeable change in sunspots or wrinkles.

Overall I think it's a nice, daily moisturiser which I will continue to use until it runs out, as that will be well into the 4 week period where results should start to become noticable. I would recommend to friends of a similar age with few skin concerns.

This moisturizer is what I consider a good basic moisturizer, but isn't one I would rave about. The container is a standard twist off the lid pot which makes it messy and unhygienic compared to some of the other great bottles that other brands do. It is a good thick cream that glides on easily and is not greasy or oily. My skin feels soft and nourished after using it. I love the fact that it has an SPF factor, but it is nowhere near high enough for me, so I still have to use a sunblock with it. The fragrance is soft and not overpowering, which is also nice. I am about to turn 50 so have started getting age spots and fine lines, but I did not notice any real improvement from using this cream. I would use this cream again if I couldn't buy a better one. It's a nice cream, but it didn't do what it said it would.

I received the L'Oreal Paris Wrinkle Expert 45+ SPF 20 I have to admit I was a bit skeptical as I don't usually buy any L'Oreal products for my skin I was wrong I should give this a try earlier ,this product is amazing .

I have been using it for two weeks or so and I love the texture the scent and the hydration it brings to my skin I will be 50 this year and my skin need creams that work and this absolutely do the job! The retinol and peptides work fantastic together I will definitely buy again .

Oh what a good day cream!

When I googled to check the price point I was floored. It's under $20, and it is a really, really good cream.

My skin is more even in texture, and so much brighter. I think it feels firmer and looks plumper. I love it!

The only reason I marked this down on 'would you use it again' is that I'm a bit of a product floozy, and like to try new products!
