L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Re-Plumping Gel Wash

This cleanser has been lovely to use - thanks Beauty Review.

Packaging: the tube is very functional and the purple is just so pretty!

Formula: It's a gel so it doesn't over foam and doesn't feel really astringent. I've been using in the shower, twice daily and have been really happy with the results.

Results: My skin feels clean after use and it removes my makeup easily.

Does it do what it says: Yes I think so! My skin is plumper and smoother than it was before use.

Would I buy it again: Yes I would!

Confession: I didn't realise Loreal made cleansers, it's just not a brand I think of when I think 'cleanser'!

I've been wowed though! This gel wash is hydrating and feels so luxurious on my skin, it's just so gorgeous to use.

It does what you want a cleanser to do - cleans skin removing dirt, oil and makeup.

My skin feels firmer after the shower and looks refreshed. What more can you ask for?

I never really thought of a cleanser as being a product that did all that much...other than, well, cleaning skin. They're not where I apportion the majority of my skin care budget, there what I consider a workhorse product, as long as they get the cleansing done with no ill-effect I'm happy.

Well. I was happy. Now the bar hath been lifted thanks to this purple-robed cleanser.

You literally need a 10c sized dab to adequately cleanse your face and neck. The basics of getting rid of grime, foundation etc are a given with this product, and it does it without stripping your skin dry.

But the true effects are felt once you get out of the shower. I don't immediately feel the need to grab my moisturiser to restore softness to my skin. My skin feels soft and moisturised after using this cleanser, and it looks so glowy and healthy.

Now I'm basing this review on just a couple of week's use, but I expect the results to continue with time. My fine lines look plumped up after use and my skin feels tight (in a good, firming way!)

So thanks L'Oreal and Beauty Review for upping my expectations of cleansers and showing me what I've been missing!

This is lovely stuff. Cleans my face thoroughly but gently. You know how some gel type washes make your skin feel a bit tight, taut and stripped? Not this stuff. This stuff leaves my skin feeling clean but moisturised. Good value, I think I paid about $20. Will repurchase for sure.

I love the Revitalift face products. This one especially.

I only need a small amount, about a ten cent piece to cover my face, it foams up and cleans all my makeup off including eye makeup.

It doesn't dry out my skin, which a lot of other products do. It leaves me feeling clean, smooth and firm.

It has a nice refreshing smell, nothing over powering. The tube lasts a long time as you only need a small amount and there is no wastage as it stand upside down.

Price is very cheap at about $10 from Chemist Warehouse.

I trialed this product over a holiday weekend - so one of the first things I noticed was the flip-top lid. I am always a bit worried about these leaking in my bags, but this one is good quality and snaps shut nice and tight! No leaks, woohoo!

The product itself is a clear gel, which has a light clean scent which I really liked. Although the scent was nice while washing my face, once I rinsed it off, there was no scent left on my face, which I like. I don't like face wash that feels like it leaves residue.

The gel is not overly thick, and foams really nicely. When I rinsed it off, my skin felt really soft, and didn't have any of the dry, tight feeling that I sometimes get after washing my face. After the first use, I was pretty happy with the product.

After using it morning and night for 5 days now, I can say that my face definitely feels very soft and hydrated, and I will use this product again. I would still alternate this with a face wash that helps with spots, as my skin likes to flip between being dry and a bit spotty (yay), so although I will purchase this, it wouldn't be my one and only face wash.

This is a very hydrating cleanser which doesn't dry my skin out and leaves it feeling very smooth and soft. For the most part it does what it says - leaving it smooth and replumped with moisture. However, though I didn't try it long enough so far to see any anti-ageing improvements, it's not what I would expect to see from a cleanser. I would definitely use this again, as I love the feel of it when using and after use, particularly the softness of my skin and the fact I don't feel I need to immediately apply moisturiser after using it to stop my skin from shrivelling up. Furthermore, though it doesn't make any difference on the product itself, the packaging is very attractive and an added bonus.

First thing you notice with this product is the beautiful scent inviting you for the great experience. Initially I found the gel to be a bit runnier than usual gel wash/foam cleansers so it's easy to "overuse". I tried using with my hands initially and it was a wee bit difficult to get the foam formed up because every now and then I lay up the foam over my face and leave for 3-5 seconds. I used the facial form maker to build up and the foams came out very thick yet gentle. With this gel wash, I've kept my usual beauty regime and I did noticed that my face doesn't feel as dry as the previous ones I've used. I used to have to put something on my face straight out of shower but with this, I definitely felt like I didn't need to rush.

As I inch towards my 40s I have become more aware of how tired my skin can look, especially as I run a lot abs expose my skin to the elements! I was thrilled to be offered the chance to review L’Oréal Revitalift Replumping Gel Wash which promises so rehydrate, smooth and clarify skin. The product is encapsulated in an attractive lilac tube with a flip top opening. It is fragranced and smells pretty - quite soapy and floral. I personally don’t mind scent in my facial products but know many people do not tolerate it well so bear this in mind! Luckily as a cleanser, you wash the product off and the scent doesn’t linger. The cleanser has a gel like texture and when added to water lathers up a little- don’t expect lots of suds! I used the product morning and night for a week and found that it was quite gentle and didn’t leave my skin feeling tight and avoids that “ so clean that your skin feels stripped” sensation. After three days I noticed my skin felt significantly softer to the touch- very impressive! After a week of using the cleanser I can see my skin looks brighter and well hydrated and the texture of my skin has definitely improved. I am excited to continue to use the product and see continued benefits!

I have been using this cleanser in the mornings to freshen up my skin before makeup and to remove remaining night cream/oil and in the evenings I was using it as a second cleanse after my balm cleanser to get rid of leftover residue of makeup and balm and I enjoyed this cleanser both ways, removes everything perfectly, very cleansing yet I don’t get a tight, dry skin feeling after using it. Contains a lot of SLS though, so I probably wouldn’t recommend it to very sensitive skin types, but my skin was good as gold using it, no complaints here! I also enjoy its fragrance, it’s not overpowering, just nice and luxe. I also noticed I don’t need a whole lot of it as it foams up nicely, a little goes a long way. I would recommend this cleanser as it can be used morning and evening and it always gets rid of stubborn mascara residue that my balm doesn’t get off, I don’t feel like it was harsh on the eye area at all. It says it hydrates as well, but I always use a face cream pretty fast afterwards, so not sure I would be able to skip moisturiser, but definitely doesn’t give me a tight dry skin feeling like a soap bar would for example, but I also don’t need hydration from my cleanser, so this claim is not that important for me.
