L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Golden Age Radiance Reactivating Serum Review

The container for the serum is quite large. It doesn’t have a dropper like many do, so getting the right amount of serum was a little bit of an issue. The serum is unlike any other serum I’ve used before. Normally a serum feels super silky and glides over my skin. Generally you don’t need a lot of serum either, but this serum feels almost dry. I felt I needed to use quite a lot of the serum or it didn’t go very far. I let the serum sit on my skin for a couple of minutes to allow it to soak in before applying the day cream or night cream over the top of the serum.

I feel that my skin looks and feels better since using the serum, combined with the day cream and the night cream.

It’s in quite a large container for a serum. I’m using a lot of serum both at night before the night cream and in the morning before the day cream. Considering how much I’m using, it seems to be lasting quite well, so it’s also good value for money.

I do feel that my pigmentation has lightened up a bit and my friends and husband agreed with that assessment. As I’ve been using the serum, with the day cream and the night cream it’s hard to tell which product is having the most impact.

I've only used a serum a couple of times before and haven't really liked them as they've left a sticky residue on my skin. But not this one! I only need one good shake of the bottle and it was enough to cover my entire face. I personally would prefer a squeeze bottle as it gives more control but once I worked out how much I needed, it was fine.

It looks a little sparkly in the bottle so I hoped it didn't leave me looking like a glitter ball which it didn't at all!

It is designed for a mature skin but I found it to leave my skin feeling lovely and definitely a fabulous base for my foundation.

The advertising says it will leave my skin looking radiant - I would definitely agree!

I was a little disappointed upon opening the serum box to find that the bottle was lightweight plastic and didn't have a pump or spray applicator. The serum itself is a pretty blush pink colour with sparkles. It's a nice consistency and smells divine. I love the smell, it reminds me of a Shiseido Skincare range I used years ago. The application of the serum is to apply 2 to 3 drops on cleansed skin, massage and then pat to absorb. It leaves the skin feeling tacky which I don't like but it does provide a nice base for the day or night cream to work with. Now, does this serum do as promised which is to refresh and smooth the marks of sleep and fatigue? Does it intensely re-hydrate the skin to re-plump and alleviate the feeling of tightness and awaken the glow of dull skin for fresher, more radiant looking skin? Well not exactly. As mentioned in the night cream review, I do not wake up looking refreshed. However, when used with the day cream the skin certainly has a fresh rosy glow. I do like this serum, however, I absolutely love the L'Oreal Laser 3 Serum so it's a hard call to find a serum I love more. In saying that, the gorgeous smell alone would have me re-purchase this product - if I couldn't get the Laser 3 Serum.

Another easy to dispense container that you will be able to get just about every drop out of. This serum is very light and glides on the skin easily and the 2-3 drops I used go a long way leaving my skin feeling silky. I used this twice a day with my L'Oreal morning day and evening night creams. I can't say my skin has any major differences after 3 1/2 weeks of use but then when you look in the mirror every day, it is hard to see subtle changes although I do feel my skin looks glowing at the moment. This product has a lovely fragrance and I would definitely keep using it along with its partner products. I think at $36 a bottle, it is very good value as I have used less than 10mls of product over the 4 weeks (and using it 2x per day)

This little gem works well in conjunction with both the day and night creams (although it wasn't recommended with the night, I used it anyway) It goes on really well and is absorbed quickly. It provides a nice base and appeared to have a 'tightening' feel to it on application. Unlike the pink of the day cream I really liked the 'highlighting' hue in the serum. Generous amount of product so I used it again on my neck and decolletage.

I was lucky enough to trial this product, after trying serums before I was pleasantly surprised by this one. The directions state to use 2-3 drops, however, I use 3-4 drops and put this on my face, neck and décolletage after cleansing twice a day. Allow to dry slightly before using moisturiser.

My skin certainly does look more hydrated, however I cannot say that at this stage of usage (3 weeks) that there is any diminishing of fine lines.

I have dry skin so use 3-4 drops twice a day, someone with a less dry skin may need less product daily.

It is a large container, and certainly provides value for money, and I would recommend anyone with mature skin to try this product in combination with day and night creams.

It has a light texture and is easy to apply, you only need a couple of drops. It is refreshing to put on and my skin felt hydrated without being greasy or sticky. My skin had a luminous glow and felt plumped up but not too tight. It has a very pleasant scent and comes in an attractive bottle which needs to be on display.

I love that this serum is such a generous amount of product! Most serums I have used in the past are around 30ml and cost the same, so this is great value! It comes in a 125ml clear plastic bottle with a gold lid. The serum itself is a light viscous texture and is rosy hued with a glow. I have enjoyed using this as it is instantly hydrating and you don't need much product. It promises to refresh, smooth, rehydrate, re-plump and awaken glow. I feel it did do all these things and this was my favourite product out of the range. With more longtime use, I'm sure it would deliver even more.

A nice serum, has quite a strong scent, but this doesn’t bother me so not a drawback. Applies nicely and is very cooling on the skin It isn’t sticky and absorbs quite quickly so not too much waiting around before applying moisturiser over the top. It does leave your skin feeling very soft.

The bottle is quite large, so not ideal for travelling. Also I’d prefer softer packaging, or maybe an application pump, as I think it will be difficult to get the remaining product out when nearing the bottom. It’s amazing how much product can be wasted due to the packaging. A plus is that you can actually see how much is left.

All up, I’d recommend, a little pricey for me, but then if I find a good product I don’t mind paying for it.
