L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Re-Plumping Gel Wash

Being 38 I have been looking for a decent cleanser for my ageing skin. I was using another brand but it was too drying and harsh on my skin, so I decided to give this one a go. Well, I can say it has really made a difference to my skin. It’s not overly fragranced and doesn’t sting my eyes if I accidentally get it too close to them. Once rinsed off, my skin feels nice and soft, not tight and dry. I would definitely recommend this product and will continue using

As I inch towards my 40s I have become more aware of how tired my skin can look, especially as I run a lot abs expose my skin to the elements! I was thrilled to be offered the chance to review L’Oréal Revitalift Replumping Gel Wash which promises so rehydrate, smooth and clarify skin. The product is encapsulated in an attractive lilac tube with a flip top opening. It is fragranced and smells pretty - quite soapy and floral. I personally don’t mind scent in my facial products but know many people do not tolerate it well so bear this in mind! Luckily as a cleanser, you wash the product off and the scent doesn’t linger. The cleanser has a gel like texture and when added to water lathers up a little- don’t expect lots of suds! I used the product morning and night for a week and found that it was quite gentle and didn’t leave my skin feeling tight and avoids that “ so clean that your skin feels stripped” sensation. After three days I noticed my skin felt significantly softer to the touch- very impressive! After a week of using the cleanser I can see my skin looks brighter and well hydrated and the texture of my skin has definitely improved. I am excited to continue to use the product and see continued benefits!

I have been using this cleanser in the mornings to freshen up my skin before makeup and to remove remaining night cream/oil and in the evenings I was using it as a second cleanse after my balm cleanser to get rid of leftover residue of makeup and balm and I enjoyed this cleanser both ways, removes everything perfectly, very cleansing yet I don’t get a tight, dry skin feeling after using it. Contains a lot of SLS though, so I probably wouldn’t recommend it to very sensitive skin types, but my skin was good as gold using it, no complaints here! I also enjoy its fragrance, it’s not overpowering, just nice and luxe. I also noticed I don’t need a whole lot of it as it foams up nicely, a little goes a long way. I would recommend this cleanser as it can be used morning and evening and it always gets rid of stubborn mascara residue that my balm doesn’t get off, I don’t feel like it was harsh on the eye area at all. It says it hydrates as well, but I always use a face cream pretty fast afterwards, so not sure I would be able to skip moisturiser, but definitely doesn’t give me a tight dry skin feeling like a soap bar would for example, but I also don’t need hydration from my cleanser, so this claim is not that important for me.

I really liked this gel wash. I tend to shy away from face washes as they can irritate my skin or give me small breakouts. I was very happy to see that my skin thrived using this. Firstly it smells really nice. Not sure how to describe but not that soapy smell (although does still taste soapy if you get it in your mouth). I used a small amount and it lathered easily. Once washed I found my skin felt soft, moisturised and clean. My skin looked healthy and refreshed. After using for a week I noticed my skin wasn't as dry and had a nice glow to it. I'm excited to continue using in my daily routine.

The cute purple tube looks lovely and is very functional. The cap is sturdy and the upside-down tube means there will be no product wastage.

After a couple of weeks use my skin is absolutely plumper and smoother, and I like to think less saggy ha!

There's a scent to the product, but its not over-fragranced.

I did find my skin a little dry when using twice a day so I've been using this just at night and I love it!

I would definitely look to repurchase and would recommend to friends.

I trialed this product over a holiday weekend - so one of the first things I noticed was the flip-top lid. I am always a bit worried about these leaking in my bags, but this one is good quality and snaps shut nice and tight! No leaks, woohoo!

The product itself is a clear gel, which has a light clean scent which I really liked. Although the scent was nice while washing my face, once I rinsed it off, there was no scent left on my face, which I like. I don't like face wash that feels like it leaves residue.

The gel is not overly thick, and foams really nicely. When I rinsed it off, my skin felt really soft, and didn't have any of the dry, tight feeling that I sometimes get after washing my face. After the first use, I was pretty happy with the product.

After using it morning and night for 5 days now, I can say that my face definitely feels very soft and hydrated, and I will use this product again. I would still alternate this with a face wash that helps with spots, as my skin likes to flip between being dry and a bit spotty (yay), so although I will purchase this, it wouldn't be my one and only face wash.

This is a very hydrating cleanser which doesn't dry my skin out and leaves it feeling very smooth and soft. For the most part it does what it says - leaving it smooth and replumped with moisture. However, though I didn't try it long enough so far to see any anti-ageing improvements, it's not what I would expect to see from a cleanser. I would definitely use this again, as I love the feel of it when using and after use, particularly the softness of my skin and the fact I don't feel I need to immediately apply moisturiser after using it to stop my skin from shrivelling up. Furthermore, though it doesn't make any difference on the product itself, the packaging is very attractive and an added bonus.

First thing you notice with this product is the beautiful scent inviting you for the great experience. Initially I found the gel to be a bit runnier than usual gel wash/foam cleansers so it's easy to "overuse". I tried using with my hands initially and it was a wee bit difficult to get the foam formed up because every now and then I lay up the foam over my face and leave for 3-5 seconds. I used the facial form maker to build up and the foams came out very thick yet gentle. With this gel wash, I've kept my usual beauty regime and I did noticed that my face doesn't feel as dry as the previous ones I've used. I used to have to put something on my face straight out of shower but with this, I definitely felt like I didn't need to rush.

Well, I was very surprised at the large size of this tube of cleanser! It is super easy to use, you only need a small amount as it foams up well and goes a long way! I love the fresh fragrance and, unlike other foaming cleansers I have used, doesn't leave my skin feeling tight and dry. I use it morning and night, it removes my make up well and leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh. I would definitely recommend this cleanser!
