Packaging is nice and eye catching, fills wrinkles and plumps skin is the promise, the serum comes in a container that you push the bottom of it to pump out a bit of serum out of the spout, it’s meant to be a take on a syringe, it’s horrid and clumsy to use. I hold it in my right hand and pump the bottom with my thumb and put the serum on my finger.
But that’s the only negative the serum it pearlised in colour with a pretty shimmer, fragrance it like hops beer brewing hops.
3 pumps is not a lot but enough for my face and neck so after cleansing and toning I apply this and use a light upward stroke I pat it gently into my skin morning and night, I give it a few minutes to soak in as it states I then follow with moisturiser.
I like it and my skin likes it, I’m left with very soft skin nice and moisturised over the weeks I was using this I’m pretty sure there is more softness to my heavy lines. Definitely my skin was plumped with using this serum it’s quite hydrating.
I used this after cleansing and toning it’s nice and soothing to use so no bad reaction at all It soaks in nicely I’m sure this has improved the look of my lines
My L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler regime arrived 10 days ago, and I’ve been using this serum for the past 8/9 days. I’ve used it exactly as recommended and applied it first in the regime each morning, before applying the day moisturiser. I’ve also used it by itself when my skin felt like it needed a hydrating, pick-me-up boost of goodness.
First of all, this serum comes in a cool-looking black & silver dispenser. I love the whole way L’Oréal has packaged this regime, from the pretty, metallic, light-pinky purple boxes that house each of the four products, through to how they’ve presented each product itself. The dispenser is very easy to use and you just pump out a few drops onto the palm of your hand and then massage it onto your face as evenly as possible. It feels quite novel and enjoyable to me to pump drops of serum out of a dispenser in this way - almost like I’m some kind of skincare scientist (ha!). But also, by pumping it out from a dispenser this way, you don’t end up wasting ANY product - you only pump out as much as you need. I use three drops at a time. Easy peasy.
In terms of how it feels once applied, it’s an amazing serum in that it makes my skin feel more hydrated yet firmer at the same time! It also doesn’t feel too heavy on the skin (like some serums can do ) - it feels quite light and gentle on the skin. It also has a pleasing, subtle fragrance. My skin definitely feels firmer almost immediately after applying it, yet it also feels smoother, more elastic and hydrated. Lovely!!
I agree with L’Oréal entirely that this serum helps to ‘boost the efficacy of your day moisturiser’. The serum compliments the day moisturiser by making it easier for you to spread the moisturiser on better. The moisturiser is a thicker consistency than the serum, so this serum is necessary in that respect alone to use first before applying the day cream.
I give this serum five kisses. It does exactly what it says it can do in that it ‘seals in moisture’ and aids in the efficacy of your day moisturiser. It’s also firming and helps my skin to feel smoother and more elastic overall.

Tips: Apply this hydrating serum before using the day moisturiser in this regime as it definitely helps to spread the thicker day moisturiser on better.
