L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser Gel Wash

I really enjoyed this trial team thank you so much BR!

So this is a cleanser containing glycolic acid, which meant I was expecting super smooth skin and my dry patches to be gone. I was not disappointed!

I like the tube format, it's functional, however you really don't need a lot of this product and I think it needs to dispense less at a time.

It's really thick - it took me a couple of days to figure out you really have to agitate it quickly so it doesn't get washed away. I used a reusable face pad that's super soft and fluffy and the combo seemed to work well together.

I really like the feel of this cleanser - you can feel it doing something and I think that's not often the case for a cleanser. This is really effective at cleaning the skin and removing make up, but its also the bomb at exfoliating the skin.

I had a few dry patches at the start of this trial, on my cheeks and forehead. These were gone within 2 uses and haven't returned.

My skin looks brighter and healthier and is much nicer to the feel.

I can't believe this is a $15 cleanser - I'd pay more!

I'm a fan of the L'oreal Revitalift Laser range and this one was no exception. I was really keen to try a glycolic acid and had heard recently on a podcast that if your skin is slightly sensitive that using acids for short periods like in cleansers was the way to go.

This cleanser has a lovely fresh citrus scent which I love. It applies easily and is a traditional gel texture that foams up nicely. The difference is when you start to take it off. By then you can feel the active ingredients and I start to have a slight warmth - like a pre-tingle lol. Over the period of time that I used it I noticed that my skin was definitely smoothing out a little and seemed a bit brighter.

My only challenge was that because I wear SPF on my face, my face is lighter than my body so I use face tan. Because I'm now using this glycolic acid it takes my face tan off faster.

I quite like using the L'Oréal Revitalift gel Wash. The directions recommended using the product twice a day, though I only used it once a day (in the morning shower).

It does a great job at cleansing the face and you only need a tiny bit of cleanser - a little goes a long way with this product.

I was unsure that this product would exfoliate as there were no beads/scrubby stuff - it seemed to exfoliate fine!

I’m not convinced it will assist with anti-aging, I guess time will tell.

I have started to get oily patches on my face (before using this product), which I found reduced (not 100% gone) whilst using this cleanser.

The texture is gel like and feels wonderful when rubbing over face and the aroma is quite sutle.

As a long-term acne sufferer I'm a big fan of products containing glycolic acid, so I was excited to trial L'Oreal's Revitalift Laser Gel Wash. Glycolic acid is a keep ingredient I look for in my skincare as not only is it fantastic for keeping my skin looking clearer from acne but as I've gotten older and my skins needs have changed (I'm 34 now) I look to it for anti-aging reasons too.

Let's skip a thorough review of the packaging and go with a basic run through - totally fine, the tube format is great for travel since seals well and hyginic, while easily dispersing product. My only comment here is with a tube it's very easy to dispense too much of a gel format so don't squeeze too hard!

The cleanser itself is what you really want to know about, and safe to say she's a keeper! The formula itself is thicker than other gel cleansers I have used, you really only need a small amount as it works very easily into a thick lather. I know some people don't like things too foamy but recently my combo skin has been feeling particularly oily under all these face masks so I appreciate the foaming feeling which helps me feel like I've really removed the impurities from my skin, without stripping it bare.

I love a chemical exfolliant but am often cautious about using one too often, this cleanser however is gentle enough that using it morning and night didn't irritate my skin. Instead I was left with noticeably clearer, visibly brighter skin that to me really did look healthy and glowing. Personally I didn't notice any changes in visible pores which is the only claim I would say it didn't meet in my use.

If I could make one change make to this gel wash would be in the fragrance. It does have a pleasant perfume but I did find it quite overpowering, and completely unnecessary in a product which is going to be washed down the drain.

Would I use this again? Yes! My go-to cleanser has been another skincare brands daily glycolic cleanser, and with Revitalift Laser Gel Wash coming in at an amazing fifth of the price of my usual product I think I will be making a swap.

i got picked to try this. thank you! i have never used anything with glycolic acid before, and having sensitive skin i was a little worried about using it, but i was pleasantly surprised. i have never had the best face care routine, but now that im getting older i really need to take care of my skin. The smell isn't the best, but its not bad either. its very easy to use, wet the face, rub the wash on, and wash it off. pretty easy. you don't need much either, about a pea size amount for the whole face, it goes a long way. the first few times after washing my face it felt pretty good, my skin was very smooth, the next few times i did find my skin was a bit drier, but nothing a day or night moisturizer doesn't fix. i think i will need to use it for a few more weeks to really see a true outcome, i did only get to use this for about a week, but overall my skin is a lot nicer feeling and softer than normal. this will be something i continue to use, at least till ive had enough time to really give it a chance

I have been using this product for almost 2 weeks now as instructed twice a day. It has a floral smell, not too strong. The smell goes away once the gel is washed of. It has gel consistency, it stings a bit when I apply onto my face. After I rinse and pat dry my face, I feel my face is smoother and more supple. After a week, I can see less pores also. However, I don’t see the brightening effect yet. I will keep using this product until it runs out but I don’t think I will repurchase except if I see the brightening effect in a few more weeks or so.

Another product I was excited at trying.

By day two of using this, I was ready to give up as it felt like after I had used it, my skin was burning, well it was more of a tingly feeling but I believe this could be due to the menthol in it?

In saying that it did leave my skin feeling a lot cleaner and smoother and glad that I persisted with it and a great exfoliator at the same time.

It does not foam up which is not a bad thing and is a very clear colour and would be great to have it in a pump bottle as I found I was probably squeezing the tube too hard!

I really like using the L'Oréal Revitalift resurfacing gel Wash. It does a fantastic job at removing makeup and cleansing the face and you only need a tiny bit of cleanser - a little goes a long way with this product, very reasonably priced, has a pleasant smell and leaves my skin feeling clean and taught.

Well imagine my excitement when I got an invite to review the L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser Gel Wash. I have trialed the revitalift range before with great results so was super excited to give this a whirl, especially given the results it promises. The packaging is actually quite generous in size so it was off to a great start as far as value for money goes. The appearance is in line with the rest of the range, intense red in colour which grabs your attention. Now the gel itself is a surprise for me. It promises to exfoliate the skin of dead skin cells but it is a clear thick gel with no exfoliating materials that I would have expected. It then had me wondering how it would remove the dead skin cells with being so smooth in consistency.

I used this wash morning and night. It made more sense to use it while I showered to avoid using excess wash cloths. I squeeze a small amount of the gel on my hand and using circular motions (as the directions suggest) I wash my entire face, making sure I avoid the eye area (again in the directions). I leave it on my face for about a minute to ensure it has time to work then rinse thoroughly afterwards. I have to admit the feeling of during and after using it is slightly burning/cold feeling like it would be after using vicks on your skin. It is very unpleasant. I thought that I would be ok using it considering that it was dermatologically tested to be suitable for sensitive skin.

Despite that I carried on with it to give it the fair test period. It has been over a week since I have been using this and I would have thought that the results would be more apparent. I am finding that my skin is feeling denied of moisture, and flat. I don't have the bright, smoother skin that it said would happen. I use the revitalift anti aging moisturizer after using the wash, just to give it the best possible chance but it was a let down. It may have been my skin type or just the product in general. For me it's a thumbs down. It didn't deliver on results and made my skin worse afterwards. 2/10 all over from me.

Packaging is classic Olay colouring and style. With a snap lid, and soft plastic, it is easy to dispense a small amount of cleanser onto hand. And you only need a small amount, meaning this product will last for ages… which is also good, as it is good. Applying to wet face as directed it has a slight pleasant fragrance, and is smooth to apply. The gel foams slightly to give that white soapy look. I then use a wet cloth to remove. It left me skin feeling fresh and clean, and worked well removing makeup. In the two weeks I have been using it, I haven’t felt the need for extra exfoliating, so it’s hidden exfoliate feature must be working.
