L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Midnight Cream

I was pleased to be able to review L’Oreal’s new Midnight Ceeam as part of a BR trial team. The packaging, if I’m honest, felt a little bit like it was trying to appeal to 1990’s me, with its dark glass pot. Inside the pot though is a rich cream with a pleasant enough fragrance that doesn’t overwhelm. It goes on nicely and feels silky smooth once applied. My skin is pretty good (I’m in my 50’s with a few fine lines evolving into wrinkles). However I found that too much of this cream really made my pores more visible. For this reason I only used it every couple of nights, as each night felt too much very quickly. For that reason I probably won’t purchase it in the future, but if your skin needs a little extra nurturing and responds well to richer creams then this would definitely be a good product to try.

I love the very light scent and the velvety feel of this night cream and the look of the container as with it being black and gold it stands out so I don't have to look at the label to know it is my night cream. I enjoy using the cream although it goes leave my skin a little greasy and takes a while to absorb which is the only reason I marked it down slightly however my skin does feel really nice and soft in the morning. I am past the age to expect miracles but still want my skin to feel and look the best it can and this night cream certainly does that.

I bought this as the ingredients looked good and it had been highly recommended to me by a friend. I use it along with another product - L’Oreal Revitalift Laser pressed- cream which I apply, and then about an hour later when that has fully absorbed I apply this renewal midnight cream. I find this combination is a great one for me, my skin feels and looks soft and supple the next morning - amongst other things it makes it easy to apply foundation etc. Both products are easy to apply and knowing that the skin is most receptive at night - it sure sinks right in.
