L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser x3 - Intensive Anti-Ageing Regime Review

Review disclaimer: This was a BIG review and to be as fair as possible to the products, I shelved my regular routine and didn't add in any new products just so I could gauge the effectiveness of this line alone.

Serum Oh my gosh. My skin loved this. Two pumps, twice a day and my skin was just drinking it in. Doesn’t smell too bad, and does make my skin feel amazing straight after application. The texture of my skin did improve slightly, but I also starting breaking out.

Day Cream Not offensive and probably a bit heavier than I’d like from a day cream. No SPF which is disappointing as over the summer holidays, I gave my skin a break and didn’t wear any makeup. I would say that yes, my skin is firmer, but marginally so. A thick-ish cream too, so not my favourite as I like my creams to be super lightweight. Merely a personal preference kind of thing.

Night Cream For two weeks, when this cream went on, I wanted to claw my face off. Its not so much as a cream, but a moisture mask. I despise heavy moisturisers every night. The texture is kind of like a jelly/cream; smell not offensive, but its so thick and heavy. Every morning I woke up with the Exxon Oil Slick for a face. It is just too much moisture. It’ll have its place, like after an AHA peel where you want to get as much moisture in to settle the skin as possible, but every night, its a nope from me.

Eye Cream The bags under my eyes are Chanel. Or at least, I wish they were. This was the only product that gave me the most noticeable results. Whilst my wrinkles didn’t get zapped into history, they certainly were slightly less visible and my skin texture certainly improved. Even a wee dark spot beside one eye has started to go away as well. The applicator is bizarre and with my bad eyesight and a mirror far away, I got it in my eye once, so resorted to using my fingers for application.

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.

I've been using the L'Oreal Revitalist system for three weeks now. I've really enjoyed using it, and my skin is looking lovely and healthy.

I can't really measure if it has reduced wrinkles, or if it is equivalent to a laser, but I do think that it is an excellent option for a skin care regime for older skin, at a very reasonable price.

I really like the packaging, with the red square glass bottles and gunmetal lids. It looks good on my bathroom shelf and seems more high-end than a range that can be purchased at the supermarket.

I think that you don't need to spend a fortune on skincare, Cleanse well, use SPF and moisturise. My skin seems to respond well to consistency, instead of switching products all the time, so I do intend to continue using this system as I'm so pleased with the results.

I was so excited to be selected for this trial. My skin is dry and I have fine lines around my eyes and some deeper lines on my forehead. I really wanted to give this a good test so I have  been using it day and night for 4 weeks and never missed a day. The packaging is beautiful. Very sturdy glass jars in a rich dark red with metallic lids. I love how the set is all the same colour, they are all really appealing to me.

At first when I applied all the products my skin burnt and stung so much. I was feeling quite disappointed as I thought I would not be able to trial them, I decided to try again the next night and phew I did not have the same reaction and it has been fine since! Not sure what that was about. Perhaps a new ingredient my skin needed to adjust too.

For my routine I only used the eye cream and moisturiser during the day and the full range at night obviously swapping the day cream for the night cream.

EYE CREAM: This comes in a cute wee squeezy tube with a metal applicator. I simply place the end under my eye area and gently squeeze the tube then lightly pat it in. It feels very cooling and luxurious. It does not sting my eyes at all which is great as lots of other products have in the past. It has made a huge difference to my fine lines which I find incredible in such a short amount of time and I wish I took before photos.

SERUM: I love this! It is very light and smells gorgeous like the rest of the range. I use 2 pumps and it covers my entire face and neck. I like to dot it on my forehead, cheeks and chin then lightly pat in. It sinks in so well and does not leave my skin feeling greasy or sticky. I have just over half left which is awesome. So I should get just over 2 months use out of this.

DAY CREAM: 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. 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.

NIGHT CREAM: Love this night cream. It has a gel kind of texture which I adore. Smells fantastic. You really only need a little amount as it spreads well. I dot it on my forehead and cheeks then gently rub it in. It does leave my skin a bit shiny but as I use this before bed I am not fussed. My skin feels super soft and smooth and when I wake up in the morning it is never dry.

Overall this range has done wonders for my skin! I have not had any breakouts since using it, my skin is definitely more plump and looks so fresh. My lines have reduced and the overall appearance is way more smoother. Not to mention how soft my skin is! I love this range and think it is a great price for fantastic products. If they could sort the day cream out it would be a 10/10.

I loved using the Revitalift Laser x 3 skin care range although I applied slightly different to the recommended routine. I would first cleanse my face and then apply the serum which was quick and easy to apply an absorbed easily.

I would then apply the eye cream and leave it to soak into my wrinkles and fine lines before waiting 10 minutes and applying the day/ night cream.

Both creams were quite thick and left my skin feeling nourished and plumped. I did find the day cream quite thick and over hot days felt my skin feel quite shiny and was disappointed it didn't contain a SPF. The night cream was lovely and thick and it felt very luxurious!

Over the 3 weeks I used this I have definitely seen an improvement in my skin with the fine lines pretty much disappearing! I still have 'laughter lines' and a few deep wrinkles on my forehead that are still there but they feel less noticeable. I really recommend using this regime if your skin is starting to age or even as a preventative measure. Probably not 100% as effective as surgery but a great range that is worth every penny!

Prior to this review I had used the serum before, but none of the others.... I changed completely from my usual routine

Serum: The first morning and night I put this on I got a very slight tingling to it. It went on very smooth and my skin felt fantastic. Over time my complexion has definitely brightened and looks clearer with use. I LOVED the previous serum and this one doesn't disappoint either.

Eye-cream: I love the applicator. I've had another brand of eye cream with the same applicator and I love it. It feels cool on the eye area. The actual tube it’s in is quite firm and I felt I had to squeeze well and truly to get product to the applicator and sometimes I'd then have too much product - so recommend storing the tube on its lid on sloped towards the lid to have the product waiting when you squeeze. Eye area wrinkles and puffiness aren't a big problem area for me, but it was a lovely product on and certainly made the eye area feel moisturised and soft.

Day Cream: this one was a problem for me - it goes on lovely, and is super nourishing, and you definitely don't have dry skin, but it felt greasy and extra shiny..... and that was fine except when it came time for makeup, and using a BB cream rather than foundation I found the BB cream slid around my face and caked in places - I'd have to use my fingers to smooth it out and powder to de-shine me.... The BB cream is a separate dilemma for me so maybe a different one would work better for me - but it was probably my biggest issue with the products for this review

Night Cream - YES! A nourishing night cream/mask that my skin LOVED! IT is heavy, but it is a mask, but with that it is super nourishing and from Day 1 I woke up with lovely baby soft skin, that with time looked smoother and clearer (likely a combo of serum and the cream! With having the night mask in my routine, I found I was less critical of the dryness of my skin during the day which was a big flaw in my previous routine as I always felt dry and aged by the end of the day - obviously I didn't have the right night product until now. I really like this night cream and will keep it in my routine.

I enjoyed all of these products - some more than others. The night cream was probably the big win for me in helping with my on-going dry skin – it turned around my skin very quickly. My skin overall has a much better texture and is super soft. Without makeup, it looks brighter. I'd possibly switch out the day cream for another, it just left me feeling to shiny/greasy - but I didn't feel I had dry skin end of the day so it certainly does its job.

I will say re. packaging that the day and night cream containers are so heavy! I dropped one into the porcelain sink and thankfully it didn't break and the sink lived too, but I was worried! Very attractive looking packaging etc. though. Have always liked the serum pump bottle.

If you are particularly bothered by dry, ageing skin I think these products are a great regime to change that!

I was honoured to trial the L’Oréal Intensive Anti-Ageing Regime. I was immediately impressed with the packaging which is very luxurious and high-end in appearance showcasing the products in silvery/purple metallic boxes, gold script and red. The actual product is equally luxe with the day and night cream being in heavy glass jars with silver/purple metallic lids. The serum is in a glass pump bottle and the eye cream in a tube. L'OREAL ANTI-AGING POWER SERUM The serum is silky in appearance and easy to apply requiring one or two drops depending on skin dryness. It promises to reduce wrinkles, tighten pores, even and firm skin. On first applying the serum I found the fragrance to be off putting, reminding me of aftershave. However, I like this product; my skin appears to have improved in evenness and looks firmer. L'OREAL INTENSIVE ANTI-AGING DAY MOISTURISER This moisturiser is very thick and heavy in appearance but light to touch. It promises to improve skin’s quality, fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet. It also promises to firm, increase denseness and give the face a redefined look. It states to massage for better absorption. When I first started using the day moisturiser I was impressed with the overall improvement in my skin however, as the days became hotter, I struggled to use this moisturiser let alone massage it in. It slides around my face and ‘sits’ on my skin. It has reduced the improvement I first experienced when using the range. This moisturiser maybe better suited to a drier skin rather than the normal to oily combination of my skin. L'OREAL INTENSIVE ANTI-AGING MASK-CREAM NIGHT Like the day moisturiser, the night cream is very thick and heavy with a smooth consistency, hence the ‘mask-cream’. It promises by morning your skin will look new, smoothed and tightened. It will visibly reduce wrinkles and repair, re-texturise and transform skin. It massages well and immediately leaves the skin feeling incredibly soft and smooth. Until I started having problems with the day moisturiser, my skin did look great in the morning. L'OREAL ANTI-AGING EYE CREAM This is the star of the range! It is a lovely lightweight eye cream, easy to apply using the cooling metal doe foot applicator. It promises to smooth the skin around the eye area, reduce bags and refresh the look of eyes. It promises to reduce wrinkles, firm, tone and lift the eye contour area. My crow’s feet are definitely less defined and smoother looking and my eye area does seem firmer. I love this product and will be re-purchasing! Overall these products are a good skincare range for the mature skin. I have been using the range for four weeks and until compromised by the day moisturiser I experienced an improvement in my skin tone and smoothness. My skin felt plumper, firmer and looked brighter. The crow’s feet around my eyes are definitely less pronounced. Now if only it would fix the groves above my top lip!

I love these products. I’ve been using them for about 2 weeks now, and the results are incredible. I’ve found my skin to be more toned and even in complexion, and MUCH softer. I’ve had people telling me my skin looks amazing, or complementing my makeup when I’m not wearing any!

The price is steep for me, but not so bad compared to some other brands. Considering it works so well I think the price is worth it. I also managed to score some awesome discounts by waiting for sales at places like Countdown and the Warehouse.

Each product is boxed with specific instructions and comes in gorgeous ruby red packaging. They look good on the dresser.

There’s a decent amount in each pot/bottle, but you really don’t need much to spread, so I’m thinking I can really make these last long!

Overall I’m super happy I decided to try Revitalift X3 and I’d definitely buy again.
