L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser Pure Retinol Deep Wrinkle Night Serum 30ml

Wowza. Is this stuff potent or what?! At 30 years of age, this is the first time I've gone head first into a specific anti-aging product like retinol and I must admit I am very pleased with the results. Please, please follow the instructions on the pack. This is certainly a strong serum and it's worth noting the staggered approach to getting your skin used to it. Pair with a really good sunscreen with a high SPF to protect yourself too! I noticed visibly smoother skin after a couple of weeks of use. Initial irritation around my eyelids disappeared (I was a bit heavy handed to begin I think!) so be mindful and do a spot test. Fine lines and those squinty lines around my eyes seemed to have filled out a little and seem less prominent under makeup where as previously ... MoreWowza. Is this stuff potent or what?!

Fine lines and those squinty lines around my eyes seemed to have filled out a little and seem less prominent under makeup where as previously it used to collect in the seams so to speak! It's a worthy product to add to the regular skin care routine, easy to use, no chemical smell and applicator and consistency of the serum is great. Really pleased with the results and will continue to use!

It is also imperative to use sunscreen daily to protect skin while using retinol, as it can become more sensitive to sun.

My key skincare concerns are pigmentation, breakouts and acne scarring, and the one skincare ingredient that seems to work efficiently on all - without causing further breakouts, is retinol - so I was excited to try this L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Laser X3 Pure Retinol Night Serum to the test. It claims to contain a potent concentration serum of pure retinol, with 0.2% pure retinol, and the packaging gives clear advice on how to use to get the skin used to it to minimise irritation. Often drugstore brands, or even more luxe department store brands, do not mention % strength of ingredients, so the mere mention if the 0.2% concentration is a bonus, and great for consumers so you actually know what you are purchasing.

Now I have used retinol and retinals for a long time, incl highest straight via script - a fair bit stronger than this one, so I jumped right in to use nightly, and without any issues. The actual serum has a light, milky, opaque texture and absorbs quickly without greasiness, but instantly leaving the skin feeling silky soft and smooth. It is advised to follow with the L’Oréal Laser Night Moisturiser, but I followed with my usual night cream from another brand. After a few days of using - I started missing the effects of my usual higher strength retinol serum - so I switched back to using that one, and using this L’Oreal one on my decollate instead, where I’ve been usable to use the higher strength one due to irritations. My decollate has not tolerated the higher strength one bears signs of ageing, with lines, wrinkles and pigmentation. And while I didn’t see any effects on my face, after a few days, after a week or so, I did notice the skin appearing more soft and supple. I am yet to notice any major improvements in both lines and wrinkles as well as pigmentation, but overall, the skin is clearly looking more healthy, so overall I am quite happy with it and will continue to use, and hope to see further results as time goes by. It comes in a heavy duty glass bottle, with a dropper that makes it super easy to dispose just the amount of product needed without any wastage. My only negative about this serum is the fragrance - personally I love the sensory experience of beautifully scented products, but unfortunately, while smelling nice, I find this one to be a tad too strongly scented, and that is very rare for me to say something it too strongly scented. Yes, it does fade a bit after applying it, but the scent still lingers on the skin for quite some time, to the point of my scent-sensitive husband commenting in bed at night, that it was ‘twitching his nose’! Overall, this is a lovely serum, with a lovely texture and feel, and it would be perfect for those who are either just starting out their retinol journey, or have more sensitive skin. I have so many favourites from the L’Oréal range, and love how accessible they are, and that they are often available at great prices too. Again, my face is used to a higher strength retinol, but I’ve quite enjoyed using it on my decollate, and if it wasn’t for the strong fragrance, I’d without a doubt consider purchasing again. Please L’Oréal, consider introducing more subtly fragranced or even fragrance-free alternatives!
