I used the day cream on and off for 4 weeks as part of the Loreal Revitalift trial. My skin can breakout easily but thankfully I didn't have any issues with this.
My least favourite of the range. This cream is so thick and heavy for a day cream and I had trouble wearing it in the summer heat. This is why I could not wear it everyday I ended up using it every 2 days. It made my face feel sticky and with the super hot days we have been having it made my bb cream slide around and just generally felt far too heavy on my face. I think this would be best used in the winter or at night time. I wish they had a lighter option in this range.
I would not purchase this when I run out. Even though I have dry skin it is far too rich. Will be interesting to see how it goes in cooler weather.
The packaging of all these products are lovely - but the jars are just so heavy. It's not a biggy but it was the first thing I noticed.
This day cream didn't work as well as I hoped with my makeup routine. I tend to just use a BB cream as a foundation.
The cream itself is lovely and light, and when on the skin you feel that it is very nourishing - and having typically dry skin, my face loved the cream, but for me it did feel a bit 'greasy' and I felt a bit shiny. If I wasn't wearing makeup that day, then the shiny settles down, and the cream feels good. When applying the BB cream, I found the BB cream slid around my face and caked a little, unless I gave the mouisturiser a good 10-15minutes to settle (of course the BB cream could be the problem too!). If I used my fingers to smooth out the bb cream I got a better finish. When using a matte foundation I didn't have any problem with the day cream at all. With or without makeup my skin felt soft and nourshed - and it took care of my usual day time dryness that I'd normally get. The velvety feel the product describes would be accurate. My pores seem a little less visable too
If I could solve the BB cream problem this would be a 5/5.... I think its more a compatibility of products issue than an issue with the moisturiser.
Tips: Leave the cream to settle on your skin for 10-15 minutes before applying any primer, makeup etc. to let it settle in
