L'Oreal Paris Wrinkle Expert 45+ SPF 20

Oh what a good day cream!

When I googled to check the price point I was floored. It's under $20, and it is a really, really good cream.

My skin is more even in texture, and so much brighter. I think it feels firmer and looks plumper. I love it!

The only reason I marked this down on 'would you use it again' is that I'm a bit of a product floozy, and like to try new products!

I’m pleased to have been able to trial this product, and have faithfully applied it every morning and, because it feels rich enough to me, most nights as well It is pleasant to apply, massaging it gently into my skin and has a light, pleasant fragrance. I have some definite wrinkles and lines around my upper lip (some laughter lines too, but they don’t bother me) and I’d like to find something that might help make them less obvious and slow down their progress. This feels creamy enough without leaving any hint of greasiness afterwards. The lines are still there, but I feel my skin has a nicer texture since using this and so the lines are less obvious to me.

I have dry, sensitive skin so prefer a thick creamy moisturiser which is what this is. The fragrance is light & pleasant and a little goes a long way. I also like that the jar isn’t plastic which is always nice with a product which retails for under $20. While I didn’t notice any difference in fine lines nor do I have age spots my skin definitely felt firmer and looked smoother. Unfortunately this was at the cost of not feeling moisturised. My skin felt tight and uncomfortable after applying the L’Oreal Paris Wrinkle Expert 45+ SPF 20. I ended up applying a serum first and then the moisturiser which made a huge difference. Is this product value for money? Yes & no. If your skin is normal/combination, I would say yes. If you have dry skin, it’s a no unless you also use a serum. Would I recommend it to a friend? It would depend on their skin type but I would probably recommend something different in the same price bracket. I am happy my skin didn’t flare up though so unless your skin is super reactive this should be a safe bet.

The packing was nice on this and when you opened the box the pottle was the same size as the packing. Sometimes products are packed in a box that is alot bigger than the pottle is. It gives the illusion that you are getting more than you are, but of course you aren't. It really annoys me!! So it was good to see this one wasn't. The cream was thick, and made your skin lovely and soft. It said the cream could help with reducing sun damaged spots but I saw none of this. I look out for any products that say they can help remove darks spots. But this cream did nothing for mine and they arent that bad. The fragrance was nice, not to strong. The cream left my face very smooth and I think it plumped the skin up

First time trying a dedicated 45+ product, and having used L'Oreal products on and off over the past 20 years, I was looking forward to giving this a go. Very pleased to see it contains an SPF20, along with Pro Retinol A and Peptides to which help stimulate the skins regeneration process, as I'm currently using another Retinol product. The packaging is very typical L'Oreal, with the box outlining proven results in 4 weeks of 82% of women with smoother skin, 30% age spot visibilty reduction, and 76% more with radiant skin.

The glass pottle with wide top is good to access the product inside. The cream itself is light, not thick, with a slight colour, and fragrance that isn't strong or overwhelming, such a familar scent for L'Oreal moisturisers. It goes on very easily. I usually use a richer cream moisturiser, so it took me a few days to get used to using a different amount of this lighter texture cream. Easily absorbed, and is not greasy at all. Skin felt hydrated and moisturised throughout the day.

My skin did react a little over 2 weeks, with small bumps on my forehead and cheeks, and my cheeks started to feel a little drier than normal, however I continued use. I haven't noticed any difference with reduced wrinkles or nourishment in this space of time which coincided with some drying, environment conditions of winter.

My tester for new products is to use on the back of one hand during a trial period, and in this case, the skin felt smooth and hydrated, without any noticeable change in sunspots or wrinkles.

Overall I think it's a nice, daily moisturiser which I will continue to use until it runs out, as that will be well into the 4 week period where results should start to become noticable. I would recommend to friends of a similar age with few skin concerns.

I really liked this product. The consistency of the cream feels luxurious and is easy to apply. It soaks in well and leaves the skin feeling hydrated and firm too. I think some of the results were hampered by the fact that wearing a mask makes you more prone to dryness or break outs under your mask area, but even with that, my skin looked and felt good. I only had very occasional dry patches, which I was happy with under the circumstances (I often get more).

The cream smells lovely too, which is always a bonus! It feels great to apply first thing in the morning (I get up ridiculously early for work!) as it feels like it wakes your skin up nicely!

What I like the most about this cream is the price. For the price you get a good size tub of a thick, relatively pleasant smelling (quite floral) cream that smooths into skin well and contains SPF (20) so you're lightly protected from the sun during the day. I'm not sure I saw a significant decrease in wrinkles, but I think some of my age spots appear lighter after using for a few weeks. It's non-oily so makeup can be applied once it's soaked in (if you use too much that will take a while)

My skin is dry and sensitive but this cream felt wonderful on. My skin felt moisturised throughout the day without feeling heavy and my skin felt firmer. Although I don't have a huge amount of lines, those I do have appeared less noticeable. The smell isn't overpowering. I will be using more of this product

I've always rated the L'oreal moisturisers and so was excited to see this new one drop into the fam. Especially formulated for mature skin 45+ (I'm 49) I liked the hydration that this cream gave. Now, it wasn't a heavy cream - it's not rich rich rich - but it is lightweight and gives you moisture for the day. I'm still testing to see it's wrinkle diminishing capability because mine have taken years to get there and may need a bit more time to soften, however it is a lovely day cream and feels nourishing (but not heavy) on the skin. Sometimes I find fragrance to be a bit off putting, but I was pleasantly surprised by the very light and fresh scent that this has. It made it a lovely sensory experience to apply, but then dissipated so it didn't hang around - which I liked. The SPF was 20 and for me I need a higher one in this Kiwi environment, but it did give me extra reassurance of a base cover before I added my separate SPF to it. The packaging is luxe in heavy glass so feels and looks like something you'd keep on the bathroom bench. All in all a lovely daily moisturiser!

L'Oreal Paris Wrinkle Expert 45+ SPF 20 is a luscious moisturiser which I was excited to trial and review.

My first impression was "wow" as the moisturiser is packaged in a glass jar that makes the product look like its high quality and it also looks elegant displayed on my bathroom vanity.

The moisturiser has a gorgeous creamy texture without feeling heavy on my ageing, slightly dehydrated skin. It absorbed easily without leaving a greasy residue and provided a perfect base for my foundation. After a week of use, my skin felt firmer and looked more youthful.

The scent is delicate which is a bonus because highly scented products can irritate my skin, even if they are not designed for the eye area. An additional benefit is the addition of the SPF 20 as I believe we can never get enough sunscreen all year around to protect our skin from the ageing rays of the sun.

I definitely recommend those who are looking for a new anti ageing skin moisturiser give this L'Oreal Paris Wrinkle Expert 45+ SPF 20 a try! I will certainly enjoy continuing to use it as part of my daily routine.
