I gave this Loreal Revitalift fragrance free moisturizer a good work out by using it morning and night. It is good for my sensitive skin, and I also tested it on my eye area to make sure. So there were no skin reactions and no eye watering thanks to no fragrance, colorant or alcohol in the product. I tested it during a bitterly cold period of winter and it stood up well to the icy wind environment and and the indoor heating. (I was outside on some of those days and also used a good quality facial sunscreen). It helped hydrate, plump and even out the texture (dry spots, fine lines etc) of my dry winter skin in the ten day trial period. I used it on my neck also with good results. The trial is only ten days so it will be interesting to see results after 14 and 28 days. I like natural probiotic and retinol products and feel that this formula worked well on my face. It helps maintain the skins natural environment so there were no breakouts etc. I don't wear makeup everyday so I rely on my moisturizer to look good. One of the tests I also give moisturizers is to put full face make up on, to check if it stops the makeup from sinking in, looking dry and accentuating fine lines. Or to see if the makeup slides off due to greasiness. It's a good test, and it works by the products good hydration property and not completely soaking into the skin. It's not a greasy product though which is one of my pets dislikes so my skin wasn't greasy looking and makeup stayed in place. I use eye creams the same way by moisturizing before I apply makeup to stop makeup from accentuating fine lines. The moisturizer is a nice creamy consistency and you don't need to use a large amount to get good coverage on the face and neck, which makes it economical. It's $27 at The Warehouse NZ. The jar is made of simple white glass with a red plastic lid and is made from 30% recycled glass, so with the cardboard packaging it's also 100% recyclable. I endorse this product as good for sensitive skin, hydrating and helping plump fine lines.

Tips: It's important to use sunscreen for outdoors or being by windows and in the car. Try using a small amount of this product first, as it goes a long way.
True to the L'Oreal branding, this moisturiser comes in a glass jar which looks and feels high quality.
The product itself is a glossy white colour and on the thicker side. It’s thick enough to keep my middle aged skin soft and moisturised all day, and yet lightweight enough to absorb in seconds without leaving a greasy residue behind.
The cream delivered on the moisture and felt like it helped to plump up fine lines. My skin's texture felt softer to the touch and looked smoother.
The product was fragrance free (of sorts, there is always a slight smell, but has no fragrance added) which was great. I don't enjoy many added fragrances in face creams and so this was a welcome omission.
But it is also without sunscreen so it is important to remember to add that into your skin care regime in the morning. It's a shame this was absent as it felt like I then had to add yet another product into my morning routine.
The product claims to lift skin - I'm not convinced the product has any magical ingredient that can do that, I certainly didn't see any evidence of this but it definitely helped plump out my skin with it's moisture content.
Tips: Remember to add a sunscreen during the day, and rub any excess product during aplication to the back of your hands, they will thank you for it :)
I like that the container is glass, and so can be recycled. A smooth, creamy formula. Feels nice on my dry skin, without any greasiness and creates a great base for my foundation. Could see some smoothing of the skin on my neck. Overall, pretty happy with this product, and would consider buying it in the future.
Upon receiving the package, I was struck by the fact that this is targeted to over 40s, I am in my mid-to-late 30s, however I have a Gordon Ramsey-esque vertical wrinkle between my eyes, so anything that will help with that - sign me up.
The jar comes in a cardboard box which advises the recyclability of the components, and the jar is glass with a shiny red and white lid which gives an air of luxury as it's quite heavy.
It says it is fragrance-free but doesn't smell like a normal unscented moisturiser, I feel it has got a pleasant scent but not at all overpowering.
The cream itself is thickish, and soaks in really fast, which does mean you use quite a lot per application. It left my skin nice and soft, and wasn't sticky or tacky. I also didn't react with redness or blotchiness after application.
I did like the way my skin looked after applying - a bit glowy and healthy-looking. However, as I have not been using it for four weeks yet I cannot comment too much about the fine lines and wrinkles claim. But my giant vertical wrinkle doesn't look quite as deep and my forehead lines don't seem as prominent. My pores are visibly reduced upon application. However, I haven't noticed much of a difference in my laugh/smile lines yet.
All in all, a nice hydrating moisturiser that holds promise at this early stage so I will keep using it and hope I see more results.
I struggle with drier skin in winter with increased sensitivity - often a moisturiser I use frequently in warmer months can make my skin feel a bit irritated in winter. I also find that some moisturisers seem to mask the dryness for a short while, only for the dry feeling to return as the day wears on meaning I feel the need to apply more. I was pleasantly surprised by this cream - not only did my skin feel hydrated after applying, it felt hydrated for the rest of the day. It's great that this a fragrance-free product, and it really is fragrance-free. There's no chemical scent at all like some other fragrance-free products have.
The cream has a nice, thick consistency; and I found that I didn't need to use as much of the product as I would with others. It absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a 'film' or any sheen. Can easily be worn under make-up, although I did find it was best to leave some time between applying the cream and any primer or foundation as it felt like it pilled a little if I applied primer straight away.
Because it is so hydrating, my skin did look fresher after using each morning. The jury is still out on my fine lines - they were less visible, but I think this is because of the extra hydration my skin was getting. I'm definitely going to continue using this cream, and it will be interesting to see the long-term results of incorporating this cream into my skin care regime. The only thing that would improve this cream is if they could add SPF.
Overall, I think this is a great value-for-money cream and one I'd recommend to someone looking to add something extra to their daily routine.
Tips: Give the cream a few minutes to fully absorb before applying make-up, otherwise you may feel the product 'pilling' as you apply primer or foundation over top.
This was quite a thick day cream so a little went a really long way which is good.
I also used this at night for a bit and found that when I washed my face in the morning, I could feel the product still on my skin. Not sure if that is a good sign or not.
Definitely true fragrance free formula.
I liked this product a lot and would definitely buy again but probably only if it’s on special.
Tips: Use just a little as it goes a long way
I've always been a fan of L'Oreal products so was happy to be picked for this trial! Packaging is standard for Loreal, nice square shaped container with an extra under lid seal which is easy to access and open. Moisturizer is a nice consistency, goes on beautifully under a full face of make up even on my oily/combo skin. There is a very slight fragrance which is pleasant and not noticeable which I like as I have sensitive skin and can have slight reactions to heavily fragranced products. After a week I noticed that my skin felt slightly firmer but after 2 weeks have not noticed any change in wrinkles or skin texture. All in all its a nice face cream but I don't think its going to be stopping me from splurging on Botox!
I first tried this is my 20s. I liked it a good rich cream At one point there was nothing that compared in it,in its price range. I've since moved on but this is a good cream.
Sadly I have to report that I didn't love this one. I've loved the L'Oreal Revitalift serums but I found this cream quite thick and greasy for a day cream. It comes in a glass jar, which I love - way better for the environment than plastic. It's very sleek as are all L'Oreal products. The cream is fragrance free and I do like that about it - it really doesn't have a strong smell which is great. However, I did find that the cream was very thick. For me, it was too thick for a day cream and it felt that it clogged my pores a bit. So I actually switched to using it at night. I won't be buying this one again, but I still love, and use, the L'Oreal serums so it's not all bad!
Tips: If you find it's too thick for the day, use it as a night cream
My skin is sensitive and reacts easily to moisturisers, so I'm always looking for one that will help keep my skin looking good without causing a reaction, so I was excited to try the L'Oreal Revitalift Fragrance-Free moisturiser.
The moisturiser is a white, thickish cream that sunk into the skin easily. My makeup went on well after using this and didn't cause it to pill. The cream is not heavily perfumed (which I love) but it does have the slightest scent to this - a very mellow citrus aroma, which didn't linger, but did smell nice.
I found it hydrated my skin well, and it definitely felt firmer, but I didn't see any major reduction in my fine lines, and I found that if I used in morning and night I would have tiny pimples pop up, but using it during the day only saw those settle down.
Overall, I enjoyed this moisturiser but there are others I would choose over this. I would recommend it though to those who's skin is less reactive and prefers a fragrance-free product.
