L'Oreal Youth Code Luminosity Extraordinary Serum

I decided to buy this on special at the Warehouse after feeling a bit self conscious about my sunspots on my cheekbones. The bottle looks quite luxurious, definitely does not look as cheap as it actually was. The pump bottle is great, no flaws, the product comes out smoothly at just the right amount each pump. This product claims to "correct dark spots", so I figured I'd give it a go. I've worn a pump on each cheek religiously, morning and night, and after maybe 2 months, my mom mentioned that my dark spots have started to become lighter! By no means have they disappeared, but I think they may have lightened!

This was the first serum I had tried. I bought this during winter when my skin was dry. It wasn't terribly dry and dehydrated but I wanted something stronger than my moisturiser to hydrate my skin. I use this serum morning and night underneath my face moisturiser. I have found that this has hydrated my skin well and I no longer get dry patches on my cheeks. I also find that my foundation sits nicer on my cheeks and doesn't look cakey at all. My skin feels softer and more plump, and the texture is more even.

The consistency of the serum is quite thin, like a thin body lotion. This makes it easy to apply to your face and glides on smoothly. It absorbs into your skin quite quickly and I like to follow with my regular face moisturiser.

The serum is a pearly white colour that has a slight shimmer to it. The sight shimmer gives your skin the illuminating effect and brightens your skin a bit more. The bottle is a simple rectangle with a pump. A pump is the perfect decanter to remove the product from the bottle. I feel like this product is too runny for a squeeze bottle. I also like how the glass is clear so that you can see how much product is left.

I use this twice a day, one pump each time, and this bottle has lasted about 6 months. Since using this serum I have found that the overall appearance of my skin has improved. The redness in my cheeks has faded and my skin tone looks more even. I must add though that I have used a couple of other new products, so it's hard to tell whether this serum is the sole cause of these results.

Overall, I really like this serum. It has hydrated my skin and improved the texture of my skin at the same time. I would purchase this product again.

I found this in a discount store for about $7. I was wanting to add a serum to my routine so I decided to give this a go based on brand and price, rather than what it claims to do.

It comes in a glass bottle with a pump, making it very easy to dispense the right amount. You really only do need one pump for your entire face and neck. It is a thin pearlised lotion which quickly sinks into skin to give its luminous glow. It does make my skin feel incredibly soft and silky, which I liken to a silicon primer. In fact, to me this is more of a primer than a serum as I think of a serum as something that adds to and nourishes the skin. I feel like this does not have any long term effects. Any benefits are gone once this is cleansed away. I like to use this in the morning before my BB cream as it is a nice base for that.

The downside for me is the scent. It is the L'oreal signature scent which is not unpleasant, I just think it is way to strong for a product that I put on my face. It really does put me buying anymore L'oreal products. I would purchase this again but to use as a primer, at the right price, but not as a serum.

I do love the lightweight texture this serum has it is quite thin and lathers on my body smoothly, it absorbs quite nicely into skin and keeps moisturised and hydrated for a long period of time,

over time i did notice it to improve my skins smoothness and complexity, id love to give it a go again
