As a brand, L'oreal has been really competing against high end brands in it's offerings to us lucky consumers and this Revitalift range is no exception.
All of the products have wonderful active ingredients including hyaluronic acid which is my favourite ingredient of the moment! It also includes increased doses of Pro-Xylane to re-plump the skin and Adenosine for anti-ageing.
The packaging is all glass with the exception of the eye cream which comes in a plastic tube with a metal dispenser.
I was impressed with the whole system and have some standouts:
Serum - this is a great day-to-day serum that is smoothing and really easy to apply. It gives that extra oomph to the skin, preparing it for the daytime moisturiser.
Day Cream - This was the stand out product for me. It was a lovely gel-like cream that had a light fragrance. This felt delicious to apply and you could feel it adding moisture and plumpness to your skin immediately. Hydration lasted all day. It worked well with an SPF on top as well.
Night Cream - not an overly heavy night cream, this delivered hydration during the night and my skin looked great in the morning! It wasn't as rich as some that I have used, but I actually really like it.
Eye Cream - This was my least favourite product of the regime. Having said that, it's still a great daytime eye cream. It just didn't stand out among the heavy weigh products above. I usually like a heavier eye cream and found the metal dispenser a little gimmicky. BUT my makeup did go on smoothly over the top. It may just be that my under eye might need something a bit more powerful.
I had great results with this. I used all of the products the over summer holidays were I enjoyed lots of food and drink. This regime meant that my skin didn't get dehydrated and was lovely an moisturised during the summer!
The whole regime works so well together and can stand alongside some high end skincare systems with its head held high! I'd definitely recommend and as it's available in the supermarkets, you can get some great discounts on already accessible pricing.
Loreal X3 set includes the: *Eye cream - genius applicator - recommended to all. **Serum - my favourite product in this set, fits so well with the eye cream & day cream - highly recommended to all. ***Day Cream - devine, such a lush product to use, no SPF is the only negative for me - recommended to all. ****Night Cream - is thinner than the day cream, seems like the day should be the night cream and the night be the day. Felt that the night cream stands out as the odd one out, its texture is different than the other three, colour is white and unfortunately the cream rubs off - not recommended to anyone.
I have used all 4 products for the past 4 weeks with a remarkable result. I have noticed reduced intensitiy of fine lines, noticable reduction with the intensity of my frown lines inbetween eye brows, much smoother & even complexion, long lasting moisture and reduction of red cheeks. I don't have Rosacea or anything nasty, just red cheeks, very annoying to me and I am so stoked they have reduced dramatically. This was a unexpected result.
With the exception of the night cream I would certainly recommend the system. Eye cream and Serum being used morning & evening would be a minimum. Don't forget SPF when using the day cream.
All products have a subtle fragrance & are easily absorbed. I have seen myself take a little more time and care using the products, they require a delicate touch and with the busy life we all lead rushing face care can be easy.
If you can't invest in all 4x products in range at one time my advice is Serum 1st, Day Cream 2nd then eye cream 3rd giving the night cream a miss.
I am rating 4.5/5. I don't think not using the night cream would make too much of a difference. The magic must have is the serum, that stuff is devine and in my opinion its done most of the work.
Loreal & BR, thank you so very much for the great trial. It really does remind me that using products designed to be used together can create amazing results.
Tips: Use the serum in place of primer, I have found this to be great for the lighter summer makeup
