[R.e.v.i.e.w] L'Oreal Revitalift 10 Total Repair Moisturizer

I wasn't aiming for L'Oreal products at all until one friend recommends L'Oreal Youth Code Booster Serum to me. Yeah, that little black bottle, tempting price and effective, is said showing a higher cost/performance ratio even than the very famous and valued Estee Lauder ANR. Well, that will be another story, I will tell it some other day. Anyway, today I am going to review this L'Oreal Paris Dermo-Expertise Revitalift 10 Total Repair SPF 20 Multi-Regenerating Moisturizer. OMG, do they really have to list all these in just a name? I decide let's just call it LR Moisturizer for short in this review.

I've been trying this LR Moisturizer for exactly a whole month. I found it in a local supermarket which costs only 99 SEK, roughly around 12 Euros, unbelievably affordable. I think that is one important reason why I tried it.  Come to the design of the bottle, I would say not the easiest one to use but not bad either. There is no way to open this bottle to see the moisturizer inside before pressing it out from the pump. It may cause a bit of waste when it's nearly done. I believe the pump can make everything clearner though. And I personally do not suggest to use fingers directly touch any cream from their bottles or boxes. You can see from the pictures below.

Well, let's read about what they say on the commercial of the LR moisturizer's function. Here it is:

To help target 10 signs of ageing in one

1. Deep Wrinkles
2. Fine Lines
3. Loss of Firmness
4. Loss of Tone
5. Lack of Plumpness
6. Age Spots
7. Dull Complexion
8. Crepey Décolletage
9. Uneven Skin Texture
10. Dryness

According to what I have experienced, deep wrinkles and fine lines? Sorry, not really as I can see for using it only one month. I am not saying it is effectless, just not obvious on my face. Plus, I'm 29 years old but have not had deep winkles yet so far as you can see in my photos. However, help to improve firmness, tone and uneven skin texture,  reduce age spots and get rid of dull look and dryness? Yes, I think it did achieve them all, more or less. For the other two, plumpness and crepey décolletage, i don't understand what they mean. Maybe you can tell me?!

I do feel kind of good when I apply this LR moisturizer every morning before using  my L'Oreal True Match foundation. They really match each other and can create a perfect porcelain look if I have done pretty well of the basic moist job for my skin, using wonderful toner or essence twice each day,to let my skin "perfect clean" and "drinking enough". The moisturizer makes my face smooth and glossy. Texture of the moisturizer is truely lightweight and a little bit oily (i thinki it is necessary though) It can last like five hours long until I need to apply some spring water again to prevent my face being too dry or too mashed. I blame that on the weather here in Sweden. It has been windy which can make skin keeps dryness. Anyway, if you are very very dry skin, this one may probably ok for half a day, but if you are very oily skin, i personally do not recommend.  

    

There is one thing I have to mention, the smell. I really don't like the semll because it smells like has been added too much chemical stuff in, very artificial. So I have a bit of doubt of the ingredients inside. Just so far, it looks perfectly fine for using LR moisturizer for a short time, however, when checking the ingredients on professional website to test the safety, I am actually a bit shocked by all the FIGURE here.  You can see from this website of seperated ingredient, how safe exactly they are? From zero to five, the lower the better. Also the safety icon, the green ones means no hazard while the red ones means can be harmful. Exactly, as the website itself describes, the safety icon is a conprehensive index fouus on long term usage. From the safety icon table, for the LR moisturizer, excluded the unknown ingredients and undefined irration, half of the known ones have question marks on, in terms of a long time usage. So, isn't it clear? Yes, it does have effect when you use it for short time, but when you have very sensitive or problem skin, bette be careful to use it. For me, I may probably will just discover something else safer.
