L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser x3
I am close to turn 50 and have been selected to review the L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser x3. I have sensitive dry skin and some redness. I have been using the products for about 1 month at the time of this review (Jan 2018). I am very excited about the results. In my opinion the serum has definitely diminished the redness on my cheeks.
In the summer time, I work in an environment where I go from the cold of my office to the warmth of a warehouse many times during the day. I walk and hike regularly. I need to wear products that will hydrate and nourish my skin, but also keep it young looking without running down when I am sweating.
1) Serum: I applied the serum every morning and evening on a clean face. I pumped twice and had enough serum to massage my face and neck. The serum was quickly absorbed by my skin. The scent is nonexistent. I have seen the redness on my cheeks diminishing every day and my skin tone is more even. Over a month I have used the 30ml of serum.
2) Eye Cream: As directed I applied the anti-ageing power eye cream every morning and evening around my eyes. Personally I prefer applying the cream with my finger instead of the metal applicator. When using the metal applicator, I am not sure how much cream is dispensed. I have seen some reduction of my eye bags which is quite positive. The eye cream is light and penetrates quickly. I haven’t used the 15ml over a month, however I can’t tell how much is left in the tube as it is not see-through.
3) Day Cream: I applied a big pea size amount of day cream every morning on top of the serum and eye cream. The cream is thick and creamy. I enjoy using the cream, even though the texture is thick, it penetrated my skin nicely and I could exercise without having it running down my face. There is barely a rose scent that dissipates very quickly. After a month, with a daily application, I still have a quarter left in the container. My skin has improved and is firmer. The pot is easy to open and close, although heavy.
4) Night Cream: As with the day cream, I applied a big pea size amount of night cream every night on top of the serum and eye cream. The night cream is thick and creamy as well. I enjoy waking up with a very fresh and smooth complexion. After a month, with a daily application, I still have a quarter left in the container. My skin has improved and is very smooth upon waking up in the morning. The pot is easy to open and close, although heavy.
The packaging of the L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser x3 products stands out with its bright red and grey. I found it attractive. The packaging has a PAP recycling logo. The pots are made of glass, the lids are made of plastic I believe. I am not sure the serum and eye cream containers can be recycled.
I would recommend the L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser x3 products to my friends. Over a month of use, it has made my skin firmer, reduced my redness, and made my skin tone more even.
I was so excited to be selected for this trial. My skin is dry and I have fine lines around my eyes and some deeper lines on my forehead. I really wanted to give this a good test so I have been using it day and night for 4 weeks and never missed a day. The packaging is beautiful. Very sturdy glass jars in a rich dark red with metallic lids. I love how the set is all the same colour, they are all really appealing to me.
At first when I applied all the products my skin burnt and stung so much. I was feeling quite disappointed as I thought I would not be able to trial them, I decided to try again the next night and phew I did not have the same reaction and it has been fine since! Not sure what that was about. Perhaps a new ingredient my skin needed to adjust too.
For my routine I only used the eye cream and moisturiser during the day and the full range at night obviously swapping the day cream for the night cream.
EYE CREAM: This comes in a cute wee squeezy tube with a metal applicator. I simply place the end under my eye area and gently squeeze the tube then lightly pat it in. It feels very cooling and luxurious. It does not sting my eyes at all which is great as lots of other products have in the past. It has made a huge difference to my fine lines which I find incredible in such a short amount of time and I wish I took before photos.
SERUM: I love this! It is very light and smells gorgeous like the rest of the range. I use 2 pumps and it covers my entire face and neck. I like to dot it on my forehead, cheeks and chin then lightly pat in. It sinks in so well and does not leave my skin feeling greasy or sticky. I have just over half left which is awesome. So I should get just over 2 months use out of this.
DAY CREAM: My least favourite of the range. This cream is so thick and heavy for a day cream and I had trouble wearing it in the summer heat. It made my face feel sticky and with the super hot days we have been having it made my bb cream slide around and just generally felt far too heavy on my face. I think this would be best used in the winter or at night time. I wish they had a lighter option in this range.
NIGHT CREAM: Love this night cream. It has a gel kind of texture which I adore. Smells fantastic. You really only need a little amount as it spreads well. I dot it on my forehead and cheeks then gently rub it in. It does leave my skin a bit shiny but as I use this before bed I am not fussed. My skin feels super soft and smooth and when I wake up in the morning it is never dry.
Overall this range has done wonders for my skin! I have not had any breakouts since using it, my skin is definitely more plump and looks so fresh. My lines have reduced and the overall appearance is way more smoother. Not to mention how soft my skin is! I love this range and think it is a great price for fantastic products. If they could sort the day cream out it would be a 10/10.
