This day cream comes in the standard L'Oreal glass pot - its sleek and stylish - really lovely on the vanity!
The cream has an almost 'dry' texture, which I know sounds weird, but that's the only way I can describe it! Maybe its the spf? It has a slight scent, very delicate and it doesn't linger once applied.
I've used this every morning for 4 weeks and my skin is noticeably softer and just feels better. The SPF is brilliant as I usually get slack with sunscreen in Autumn/Winter!
The price is pretty good as I'm only a third through the tub.
The only reason its not getting full marks is because of the fingers-in-pot situation, I'm just not a fan!
I love this formulation, it is the colour and scent of old school Oil of Ulan (Olay). Straight away I was thrown back to the early 1990's when my mum used to use Oil of Ulan religiously.
The consistency is quite thick and a little goes a long way. I was greedy on my first go, lathering on all the goodness, far too much. Following which I got it in my eyes which I can report STINGS.
Subsequent goes were much more positive. The absorbancy is good and I can say my combination skin LOVED it!
The outer packaging has all the fine print that promises miracles in a bottle. I can't say I saw any real changes but my skin did feel better than normal. The bottle was more of a generously propotioned pottle, with next to no wordy clutter, just a coloured sash to tell it apart from the other products in the regime.
Overall I liked it, but I did see an increase in oil in my T zone after awhile with peasky blackheads on my nose and suffered a little breakout of acne by the shock of hydration. But that all settled down after awhile.
I would recommend it, it smells delicious and you skin will feel great, especially on these drying winter days.
Tips: Don't get it in your eyes!
