L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser Renew Anti-Ageing Regime Reviews

I have discussed what I thought of these products individually. As a regime I found them expensive for most people. The regime was too much for my skin, it became too oily especially with the night applications. As a new regime, I followed them for a couple of weeks to see if there was any visible changes (other than the oily nature of my skin) then I adjusted the regime to the following Morning - serum + day cream Evening - serum + day cream I found my oiliness reducing and a smoother softer skin imerging, the regime I went to was more manageable and cost effective for budgets and far better for the outcome of my face. I started to get spots and a greasy feel to my face, now with the serum and day cream my skin is thriving and the spots are reducing.

The products: The day cream on its own is lovely thick and rich, but seems the wrong consistency for a day cream somehow? The serum is lovely and has a texture that’s easily absorbed, and a little goes a long way. The night cream has an interesting ‘springy’ texture to it and feels surprisingly more lightweight than the day cream. However I didn’t like the way this felt on my skin in the morning. I liked the wipes but they are very strong, too strong for every day as recommended.

The regime: I felt for me personally that if I’d been using the night cream, glycolic and serum I didn’t really need the day cream too - felt like overload for my skin, which is a bit oily and sensitive. I was pleasantly surprised that it performed quite well under makeup though ( I use bare mineral Barepro) and I think it lasted nearly as long as when I use a primer as a base. Using the combination of products I think has improved some of the fine lines around my eyes in the last few weeks. One big drawback of the day cream, and of the whole set, is that there is no product containing SPF, which is odd considering the glycolic pads in the set advise you use one. So that means buying an extra product to add to the system. It would be nice if the day cream was lighter and contained SPF. Overall I found the system not quite right for me, though I would use a couple of the individual products, the serum and the wipes again.

I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial the four products in this anti aging regime. I found these products to be lightly fragranced which is a bonus for me as products too highly scented can be off putting. Firstly I used the glycolic pads after using my usual cleanser, which I polished my skin with in a circular motion. It felt slightly tingly on my skin (which I wouldn't say was sensitive) It did sting a little on my skin where I had the odd breakout but I felt this was a good thing as the glycolic acid would help dry out my pimples. The pads had a different texture on each side of which I preferred the coarser side. Next came the serum..... The serum came in an easy dispense pump container which I found ample enough product came out in one pump and its application felt silkily smooth and glided over the skin easily. It left my skin feeling smooth and hydrated and I feel that this serum could be all you need to use in the evening however as I had the night cream mask, I also used this. The night cream was lightly fragranced and thick and creamy. It is easy to apply and a small green pea size will suffice. I do prefer to apply any creams on with a spatula so I don't contaminate the remaining cream however this product doesn't come with one. My skin felt supple and well moisturised the morning after use. In the morning I followed up with the day moisturiser after cleansing my skin and using the serum again. The day moisturiser is a lovely cream to use and glides on effortlessly and leaves the skin feeling smooth and supple. You don't need to use much as a little goes a long way. I do prefer my day moisturisers to have an spf in them as adding a sunscreen was another step I had to follow to finish my morning skin prep. As to whether my wrinkles have reduced and my skin smoothed and tightened, I am unsure about this but it definitely feels like it has been well looked after these past few weeks by using these products and I would definitely buy these products on that alone as I think looking after your skin is one of the best things you can do for it.

This range comes in a lovely red and grey glass and plastic packaging. Overall I loved this range. The Revitalift Laser Renew Anti-Ageing Glycolic Peel Pads made my skin feel refreshed and clean. The Revitalift Laser X3 Anti-Ageing Serum was so silky to touch and glided on so easily leaving no oily residue was an absolute favourite for me. The Revitalift Laser X3 Day Cream was thick and creamy and felt so lovely to apply. The Revitalift Laser X3 Night Cream was another favourite for me, with the thick gel like texture making it a breeze to apply. All of the cream products smell amazing and are value for money due to only needing to use a small amount of each, with the anti-ageing serum coming in its own pump that gives you the right amount every time. I tried all 4 products on my chest area first as over the summer this area had taken a bit of sun and was feeling under moisturised. After a few days I was really happy with how soft and smooth feeling my skin was so tried on my face. Again very happy with the results. Whilst I haven't noticed much wrinkle reduction I have definitely notice my skin is softer and smoother feeling. Very happy with these products.

Wow, I felt so lucky to receive this set for testing. I'm not yet 40 but I do suffer from dry skin, after having tried these on for a few weeks I can definitely feel that my skin is less drying and more supple, will definitely continue using these and plan to re-purchase!

Oh L'Oréal, why mess with a good thing?

The normal L'Oréal Revitalift came in little white glass pottles with eye cream, night cream and day cream. The scents were powdery, comforting and fresh. The day cream had the appearance and smell of the old formulation of oil of ulan - which to me is a glorious scent.

The new and improved X3 Revitalift comes in flashy spa quality ruby red coloured glass vessels.

For this range L'Oréal have introduced a serum and gylcolic peel pads into the regime alongside a day cream and night cream. The scents are all very similar so soft and subtle and hardly detectable. The consistencies of each product were good, and better than expect when it came to the night cream. Overall my experience was good with this regime mainly because I love a DIY spa session.

But, a few little things - I don't understand the serum, or the need for it, or the glycolic peel pads for that matter. I read the claims but the size of the test groups are too small to claim statistical accuracy of anything. However they do make the process feel like an extended pamper session, but I am not sure these extra products are really necessary for a daily regime.

I would love to see a daily range that has a cleanser option included, or a mineral tinted moisturiser with sunscreen added. Also, a no tears - non sticky version would be great as everyday the X3 moisturiser film would migrate into my eyes burning them to tears and every night my face would be glued to my bedding. I have put individual reviews on each of these products if you need more detail on that.

One other thing I did notice is that the outer packaging warns sunscreen must be warn during the day and I was surprised it wasn't an added ingredient in the day cream, or serum. I was annoyed that there was yet ANOTHER step to complete in my otherwise busy morning routine.

However, I did enjoy trying it, but couldn't help but feel the overall experience could be improved. I honestly don't think these products, or regime work for me as a daily routine, being a busy mother and full time worker. But for a quick weekend feel good pamper session with the girls I would be happy to recommend

Positives: Lip lines reduced, large scar through my lip less noticeable, neck firmer, freshness to the skin. Negatives: Can sting, pores can clog at times and cause a bit of irritation. Overall though, it has definitely given me some improvement to my appearance. I worry as always that my skin will develop a sensitivity to one of the products as the slight itching a couple of times makes me nervous. Will keep it up for a bit longer. Just wish they could combine the products in some way as I have so little time and using lots of products is just not my jam. Am I happy? Yes. Has it given me a but more confidence regarding my scar and lip lines? Absolutely.

I am 40 and have never been very good at maintaining a skincare regime and I am that girl that will go to bed with her makeup on if I am feeling too tired or too lazy. I can now say that over the past 30 days I have become very good at maintaining a skincare regime and even if I am feeling too tired or lazy and feel like flagging it for the night it is so very quick and easy and makes my skin look and feel so good I will make sure that I take the 1-2 minutes before bed to use a glycolic peel pad, the serum and the decadent feeling night mask-cream. I am going to continue using this regime as I am very happy with the way my skin is looking and feeling. I feel that my skin on both my face and neck has come so far over the past 30 days! My face no longer has massive pores, the unusual little lumps that were all over my chin for over 10 years have vanished (and I don't want them coming back!), my smile lines are only appearing when I smile, the lines above my lip have reduced, the wrinkles that were starting to form on my neck have gone and my skin in general just looks so much more youthful, fresh and radiant. I am saving money as I no longer have to purchase primer, toner or foundation - I am happy with my skin for the first time since I was in my late teens/early 20's and no longer feel like I have to cover it up.

I loved these products, the packaging, the feel, the smell it was all on point. The instructions were all very clear on how to use it and together a a combo rmthey have started to make my skin look amazing again

The packaging on these products tells me that they are specifically aimed at the 40 to 60 age group. In my 80s I am WELL beyond that so I have had no delusions that I was likely to experience any miracles. However, I have found it a lovely quick and easy routine that leaves my skin feeling really good, with softer wrinkles particularly noticeable across that pesky up lip region. A 14 year old skin cancer removal scar on my chin has almost vanished and a slightly rough area at the base of my throat is now smooth. And to have received a couple of compliments re the appearance of my skin is a true bonus.
