L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser Retinol Pressed Cream

Ok first off!!!!!! That packaging?!!!! Am I right? Wow! I’ve never actually had a cream that is in a jar like this one. I’m not digging in getting cream all under my nails , I’m not fumbling with a tube and a lid that goes flying off into the unknown. Love the sleek , ultra modern look with our fast paced world.

When you’re so tired and that simple push down pump action on this incredible jar really makes it so much faster. Queen I know you’re tired but this only takes seconds.

Just one con for me, I’m not a fan of artificially scented face products. Absolutely no reactions which is amazing. The scent does not linger though .

I started off every third night just to make sure I was going to get any stinging or reactions. Then every second. Now nightly for that glow. This stunning cream sinks right in , no greasy afters no thick yucky ‘I’ve got something on my face feeling’ it’s absolutely gorgeous!

I also apply all over my neck, chest and hands. I sleep on my side so my chest wrinkles are fierce haha, but! I’m impressed they are softening! Yes softening. We love that!

I have large pores , like seeing into your soul large pores. I’m embarrassed by them, especially at my age because they give off so much texture and I don’t know if it’s the retinol or the niacinamide but my texture and pores (yes pores holy cow) are reducing.

I wake up with a glow! My face is bright, so smooth and refreshed somehow, I’m definitely sold! I’ve never been into night creams because I’m weird with the feeling of creams on my face haha. This is totally a game changer. Please try it!

I have never used products with retinol in it, so I was excited to try this product. I followed the suggestion on the box to gradually introduce it, and luckily I did not have any reactions or redness.

I did love the pressed-jar applicator - gives the perfect dosage, is mess-free, and it is nice and hygienic as you avoid dipping your fingers in. I will be interested to see how it works when it starts to get low in product though. It was easy to apply and a small pea sized amount goes a long way. It is quite a thin consistency compared to other night creams, has a low fragrance, and is a surprising pale yellow colour.

My skin feels hydrated and smooth after using it for a couple of weeks. The box promises in 14 nights that wrinkles will be visibly reduced and skin tone more even. I haven't seen that yet - but I wonder if it because I haven't actually applied it for 14 nights as such yet as I am following the directions to introduce it gradually. I look forward to hopefully seeing results from this product with continued use.

I received this product as part of a Beauty Review trial.

The box is small, compact and sturdy - it would withstand knocking around in a drawer or a cupboard for a little while before using. As soon as I opened the box, I could smell a pleasant fragrance, similar to that of a shampoo or body wash. At first the smell didn't bother me, but after using the product, I was beginning to find it unpleasant - none of my other skin products have fragrance, and the smell of this cream didn't mingle well with my other scented body products.

The product is dispensed with a push down pump. Weird to use if you've not used them before, but simply take the clear cap off and push the top down to dispense enough cream for one application. I like this method, no excess cream wasted, seems more hygienic than an open jar that you stick fingers in, and I would think no chance of leaking if it was left on its side in a toiletry bag. I do wonder how much product is left in these containers when they are no longer dispensing, and how recyclable they are.

Instructions on the box suggested using it just 2 times in one week, then every other day the second. The first couple of times, although I felt a sensation when applying it, I didn't find it irritating. I've not used a retinol product before, so was unsure of what to expect. By the third time I used it, I was starting to feel burning on my skin the day after, when I applied my usual skin care products. But a day or two after that 3rd application, my skin was turning leathery, and in patches starting to weep. I've been using my regular products for several years now, so came to the conclusion it was a sensitivity to the retinol in the L'Oreal Paris product. I discontinued use of the Rivalift Laser cream, and also all of my regular skincare, except a light moisturiser in the morning, and even had to brave going to work with no makeup on after the weekend - eeeeeekkkk - as I was worried the patches of weeping skin would get infected.

I've used a lot of L'Oreal skin care over the years, and makeup also, with no reaction whatsoever. I had high hopes for this as my skin is starting to show signs of ageing. I did notice the few times I did use it, that my makeup the following day went on so nicely - seems like it did a great job of moisturising at night.

I may try it again soon, I'll let my skin settle for a few weeks, then try again. But right now, this product is not for me. It hasn't put me off using L'Oreal products in the future, but I will ensure I only test patch products containing retinol, before using them all over my face.

I received the L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser Retinol Pressed Cream as part of a trial and quickly set to work on using it. I was excited to see if this actually lived up to what it said it was going to do. First of all the pressed jar concept it fabulous! providing the right amount every time. This was really exciting lol. The fragrance is lovely too, not overpowering just the right amount. The cream has a nice consistency. I normally have issues with ALL creams making my skin feel greasy and am prone to skin breakouts when changing skincare, this was the opposite. No greasy face! No breakouts! By morning my skin feels divine! After using this for almost 2 weeks I have found an overall improvement in the look and feel of my skin. My skin feels smoother, firmer and looks fresh. I will absolutely continue to use this!

This a tricky product to review over a short time as you gradually use product. I am currently using every other night. I found the product quite stingy which lasted a few seconds and made my skin quite red for a few minutes after application. My skin felt very smooth and soft and alot firmer and some of the fine lines are less visible not much change to the few deeper wrinkles i have yet and skin tone is becoming more even alot less harsh looking its more youthful. My skin in my around the chin and cheeks has become very dry after cleaning my face in the morning so have had to use a day time moisturizer with spf... I am going to continue with the trial as I do like the way my skin is starting to look. The press to release container is perfect for ensuring you get the right amount of product. The packaging has all you need to know printed on the side of the box.

I have used retinol creams in the past, and not had any issues with them. Unfortunately for me and my skin this one was way too strong. I started by using it every other day, but by the third use my skin was very dry, and when I used my usual mist toner my skin went extremely red and took hours to calm down. I stopped using the retinal cream at that point, and unfortunately the only product I could put on my face was paw paw ointment and rosehip oil. It was over a week before the dryness dissipated and I was able to return to my normal routines. I will try again, but maybe just once a week until my skin has gotten used to it. I have never had this issue with retinal creams previously so it took me by surprise. The cream is highly perfumed, but quite light, I found it absorbed well. The container it comes in is fantastic, no dirty fingers, or having to find a spatula for this one. 'd love all my creams to come in a container like this!

I loved this, the packaging was not excessive, although the small stopper was difficult to remove originally. Once this was removed it was easy to use and great to be able to control the amount that you use. The smell was really lovely and it felt good on my skin. I would love to have trialed this for longer to give a more detailed review as you gradually increase the amount of days you apply this during the course of a week. Would definitely recommend this as I am sure it will do what it claims with longer use.

I have finicky skin that can be sensitive to some products and not others so I went into using this cautiously. Great packing. Dispenses just the perfect amount of product mess free. Only very slight fragrance. Nice and light. Nothing too overpowering. The cream is a really lovely texture and goes on the skin so nicely and absorbs well. This stuff makes my skin feel AMAZING! I had no issues at all until day three it started to feel a bit stingy when I put my normal cream on. Day four my skin was stingy and started to flake slightly. I’d recommend stepping it out to say every third or fourth day for a start to see how the skin reacts. Even if you can only use it a couple of times a week it makes the skin look and feel so lovely it’s totally worth it. Highly recommended!

I was very lucky to receive this L’Oreal product as part of a trial team, and it is probably the product that I have been most excited to try so far. I am on the search for an effective anti-ageing face cream, and this night cream contains two very powerful anti-ageing ingredients: Retinol and Niacinamide. The packaging the cream comes in certainly makes it look like a high quality product, and I really like that there are detailed instructions for first time Retinol users on the box. I have recently had some not so good experiences with poor instructions (see my Olay Regenerist Whip review), and it was really great to find that the Revitalift Laser cream comes with excellent instructions. The jar that the cream comes in is also very high quality looking, however, it is not recyclable which is a real shame. The way the jar is designed means that it acts as a pump, dispensing a single dose of cream with every pump. While this is very hygienic, I much prefer being able to choose the amount of cream I want to use. I have been using this cream for about two weeks now, and as per the instructions I have been using it both on my face as well as on my neck and decolletage. The cream has a really nice consistency, not sticky or greasy, but also not too thin, and it quickly absorbs into the skin. I am not a big fan of the smell of the cream, which I find a bit “chemical”, but this may be due to the active ingredients. As per the instructions, I have been wearing SPF during the day, every day. Due to the short trial time before this review was due, and due to the recommendations on the box to only use this cream very sparingly in the first two weeks of use, I have not been able to see any improvements in skin tone or reduction of wrinkles. However, the cream is definitely a very effective moisturiser, and the box says that the efficacy has been proven in studies conducted by independent institutes. I really like that L’Oreal do not do any animal testing, and in fact have not done so for the last 30 years. I will keep using this cream, and will aim to update this review when I have finished the jar and it comes time to decide if I would buy another one.

WOW! There that's my review. One word. It tells you everything you need to know.

Ok, I better behave and write more!

The packaging is insanely cool - you push the top down and it gently dispenses the right amount of product. No more fingers in the pottle. Honestly I love this feature.

The cream is light and really easily absorbed. It seems to go a long way too.

I'm an experienced Retinol user so I built up a tolerance faster than the recommended usage instructions.

The night cream feels smooth and soft on the skin and the next day my skin is just baby smooth. Over the course of the last few weeks my skin is even in texture, soft, supple and just looks so good.

I will not be without this from now on.
