L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Day Cream SPF 30 Review

I was lucky enough to be picked for this trial and to say I was excited was an understatement. I’ve been searching for a new day cream with SPF for ages. I actually trialled this product with an SPF of 30 which was ideal for me as I’m very fair. I usually find that moisturisers with sunscreen leave my skin quite oily but this cream was different. It was definitely moisturising but without the shine. I noticed a difference in the tone of my skin within 3 days but I continued using it for a further 3 weeks and wow just what I was hoping for....... brilliant results. I have officially swapped my usual high end moisturiser for this one and am so excited at the prospect of spending $35 versus over $100. This is an amazing moisturiser at an even more amazing price and I urge you all to try it

I really really liked the consistency of the day cream, it was lovely and refreshing after my morning face clean and again smelt great. It was a much lighter cream and the night cream, but did seem to be slightly slower to absorb so I did look a little shiny starting off the mornings. I think my only big concern around this product is that it is only an SPF15 - given the shine I was already getting in the morning I'm not sure I'd want to add another product to my face everyday in the form of a high SPF sunscreen. As a standalone it was good, but not keen on layering it. I think that L'Oreal may have an SPF30 day cream though and will give this a try when I have finished the current SPF15 pot. I've found that around my cheeks in particular they have lifted and brightened. I assume this is a combination of both the creams in conjunction.

When opening the glass jars on the day cream it has a luxurious feel, the smell isn’t over powering or offensive. I wore this with and without make up. And found that it left my skin feeling hydrated all day. I love the fact it has the added SPF which is a huge bonus. I found my skin has felt silky and looked more plump. I haven’t noticed a huge reduction in my fine lines.

My day cream is SPF 30, not SPF 15 (as specified above).

It unfortunately does have a slight sunscreen-like smell to it in my opinion, not overwhelming, but it’s definitely there and it is not a favourite smell of mine in skincare. However, I do appreciate that all good skincare regimes should probably have sun protection in them and I know why it needs to be there. Perhaps it is because I am used to lighter day creams, but it did also feel a bit too thick on my skin. But it does moisturise well and make my skin feel hydrated.

I would probably give this about 3 out of 5 for all of those those reasons.

I've been using all three of the L'Oreal Revitalift creams for 3 weeks now and its been a bit of a mixed bag for me. The day cream comes in a heavy glass jar which freaks my ocd out a little bit, sticking my fingers in every time. Thankfully I didn't have to share! The cream itself is apricot tinted, quite dense and has an interesting smell. Its kind of old fashioned a bit like a soapy kind of smell and not really my cup of tea. Having said that, the smell doesn't last long and as a negative it's a little one! The cream goes on smoothly, a little goes a long way thou! It soaks in quickly and doesn't feel greasy at all which was a surprise given how dense the cream is. I haven't seen a noticeable reduction in the fine lines on my face but it feels tighter and smoother than it did 3 weeks ago! I love that it has an spf factor, a must these days!

I used this product alongside the night cream and eye cream. It has the same packaging as the night cream, with the difference being the label colour. Inside is a little pot of gold, or should I say orange. It is rich but easily absorbed into the skin. I really liked that it had SPF in the ingredients as I'm so bad at putting sun protection on. I clean my skin an apply to my neck and face after cleansing. My skin feels hydrated and quite prepared for make up. I was expecting my make up to slip right off as it's quite a rich product however it sits fine. I'm happy to repurchase this myself and like that I can get this from the supermarket. I would recommend it to dry skin types. I

Love the square jar the day cream comes in as sits nicely in my cupboard. Also love that it has an SPF 30 factor. The cream is a light peach colour quite thick with quite a scent to it. You definitely only need to use a small amount of cream and using too much made my skin feel greasy. Overall it wasn't my most favorite face cream (although I loved the L'Oreal eye cream) I felt the cream was a bit thick for my skin and I ended up with quite alot of breakouts. I also found that the scent was a bit overpowering for me I could smell a sunscreen type scent which I found not that pleasant. Sadly my skin felt alot greasier whilst using so definitely don't think it was for me.

I really like this product. It fit nice in the box without there being too much box. Good info about product on box. It is in an attractive glass jar.I love the fact it has a sunscreen in it (SPF 30 according to the box and jar). It's thick and creamy and has a pleasant scent which is not too strong. This absorbs into my skin quickly without leaving a greasy feel. My skin feels instantly hydrated and this feeling lasts all day. My skin looks and feels smoother and most of my wrinkles seem reduced. There are a couple of deeper ones that don't seem to have changed. Price wise I think it's good. This product is going to last quite a while so would be happy to pay full price.

When I first started this trial I was more than a little unsure about this L'Oreal Day Cream. I didn't feel like it did much, of anything. Well time has proven me wrong.

First of all, it comes in that classic L'Oreal opaque glass pottle with the red and white lid. Classy. And I enjoy the way the night and day cream are separated by the orange of the day cream line and the blue of the night cream line. It keeps the line cohesive but offers a nice differentiation.

The moisturiser is a light pastel orange and not too thick. It has an almost citrus/floral scent to it. When I apply it, it feels powdery. This is what left me unsure of the product. But as the month went on I found my skin to look more plump, more firm, more youthful. Just what this more mature, dryish skin needs!

I was pleasantly surprised by this moisturiser and would use it again.

I didn't particularly like the colour of this product, but otherwise it seemed pretty effective. My skin is definitely appearing fresher and firmer. An extremely light fragrance. Reasonable price for this type of product. My two concerns were, if I got a bit sweaty and any of the moisturiser got into my eyes, they became quite irritated, and secondly not a fan of some much excess packaging.
