L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser Pure Retinol Night Serum

This serum comes in a gorgeous blue glass bottle, the applicator dropper is easy to use it’s nice and narrow and it is easy to drop the right amount onto your face without using too much product. It has a beautiful light fresh fragrance. I used this the first two nights twice a week, the second time I used it I got a slight reaction of redness and a little dry skin around my chin area. But my skin got used to it quickly and haven’t had that since. I have been using it every night after cleansing, making sure it’s well away from my eye area. It is lovely and smooth and light feeling which absorbs into your skin quickly and doesn't leave it feeling greasy. I feel is isn’t quite long enough to know really what the results are like after two weeks but my skin feels smoother and a little more even toned. I look forward to seeing what it’s like after using the whole bottle.

I looked forward to reviewing this product because it contains 0.2% pure Retinol which I know is such a powerful ingredient in a skin care regime. I followed the initial instructions and am now using it nightly and have experienced no side effects as suggested on the box. It has a creamy consistency and is easy to apply - I am using 4-5 drops and it absorbs well. The product is well presented and the lid is very secure. I apply it at night after cleansing to my warm and slightly damp face and it absorbs well, and it doesn’t make my face feel uncomfortably sticky and tight like other serums I have used. My skin is feeling more supple, smoother and tighter already and I have noticed particularly that the creepy skin around my eye area has softened and lessened already. Overall my face is looking plumper and my wrinkles are less prominent. It is still early days but I really am really pleased with what I see so far and am looking forward to working my way through the bottle with more pleasing results as time goes on. I would certainly recommend it to others - why wouldn’t I when the box says - 0.2% Retinol Delivered Straight To The Skin !

Gosh I didn't think you could buy skin care this powerful from the supermarket! I've used retinol products in the past, and mostly to good effect.

This night serum comes in a gorgeous wee bottle, loving the blue! The dropper is effective and I found just a few drops more than enough for my face.

I used this every other day to start and experiencing no sensitivity I increased to nightly.

My skin is definitely responding well, it feels like wrinkles are being replumped as you rub it in, its really quite something.

If you're looking to add an active in to your routine to counteract the signs of ageing, I would recommend this.

This is my first time using retinol - I've heard of it, but never taken the plunge. So thanks BR for the push!

Packaging: It comes in a classic L'Oreal dropper bottle, in a lovely blue colour. It's functional and looks nice.

Formula: The serum is pretty thick and white, almost like an emulsion type product. It is scented, which could be off-putting. It's probably my least favourite part of the product.

Use: I built up to using this every other day, from initially twice a week. It did tingle and I felt a definite sensation. But it didn't feel like a reaction, more just the serum doing something.

Results: I absolutely can say this has greatly plumped my wrinkles and firmed my skin. It has been most impressive around my lips, with my forehead furrows a close second. I've been using for around 3 weeks and I'm really impressed.

Price: I'm not sure what the price point is, but being a L'Oreal serum I'm guessing around the $40-$50 mark - which I would be happy to pay.

In brief: I would buy again, do recommend and it most certainly does what it says.

I've used Retinol serums (and creams!!) before but found them pretty expensive to introduce permanently to my routine. This costs around $50 (less during one of Countdown's Beauty Weeks I bet!) and is comparable to other high end Retinol serums for sure.

The box is jam packed with information, definitely sit and have a read before installing the bottle on your vanity! The main takeaways from the instructions are that this is high strength retinol and you should expect a bit of a tingle and redness.

I did get quite red after use, thank god you have to use retinol at night ha.

This for me is a bit of a glow-booster, it almost refinishes your skin, making it more even, softer in texture. I was worried it would be a bit drying, but it's not at all!

The big question is of course - what about your wrinkles? Well whilst not a miracle cure-all I'd say they look better, and I'm happy with the improvement in firmness I'm seeing!

I have been using this for three weeks, and so far I really like it. I followed the instructions on the box very closely - only use twice in the first week, every second night in the second week, and then each night if your skin is happy enough from the third week. I had slight redness on my cheeks in the second week, but nothing too bad. The redness has gone, and the only slight issue is that any strong smelling moisturisers have been stinging when I put them on during the day. Nothing too major, but means I needed to try a new plain moisturiser.

In terms of how its working, so far my skin seems better, softer and smoother. My deep wrinkles are still there, but I'm persistent! They took years to get there so they won't disappear overnight. This retinol has definitely worked better than others I have tried, I have never noticed my skin feeling soft and smooth like this before, so that is promising.

It does have a scent, but it fades quickly. Its a really well priced product, especially as it seems to be on special regularly.

I really liked the feel, smell and absorbency of this night serum. I got on discount at Countdown for $30 but probably won't buy again at the regular price-point. I like how refreshed and plump my skin felt the day after using this however no improvement on fine lines or wrinkles. Would try other retinol serums at a lower price point before buying again.

I was sceptical . . . . a product that says on trial 100% of women saw a huge reduction in wrinkles is setting itself some high expectations. Especially with my 'late 40s' skin. However, I have been amazed, specifically my 'crows feet', they have definitely reduced after 6 or so applications. The product itself is super easy to use with the dropper and with 3 drops it covered my face and neck so therefore very economical. I didn't have any tingling, which is possible on certain skin types, so progressed quickly to using twice a week, then three times a week. I used at night and in the morning my skin had a 'silky' feel to it which is the first time with any product I've experienced this. This is a product I will forever use . . . . it does exactly what it says!
