Lightweight and mattifying
I received a free sample of this in the mail from L'oreal. Because it claims to be 72 hour moisturizing, I was afraid that it would leave my face feeling moist and greasy, and that it would be thick to apply. I was wrong about all of these counts. It was a lightweight formula, more of a gel than a facial lotion or cream. It applied matte on my oily skin, and smells slightly earthy due to the aloe vera. However, I wouldn't quite claim that it's a 72 hour formula because if anything, I found that it was slightly drying. Not that this is bad, because with very oily skin you want something that leaves your face not feeling oily, and that's what I like about this formula.
Mattifying moisturizer
This moisturizer is mattifying and the moisture does last all day. The texture is a little odd as it is like a thin gel so a little goes a long way. I still prefer to have my face moisturizer be a traditional lotion but if I were to stray to something new, this would certainly be in the running.
Refreshing aloe water for silky smooth skin !
I received a sample of L'OREAL Hydra Genius daily liquid Care and it only took one use to change my skin ! When I got this product in the mail I was a little skeptical that they even sent enough to make a difference, boy was I wrong ! With just a small amount of this moisturizor containing natural Aloe water and 3 Hyaluronic acids it leaves your skin feeling matté and smooth absolutely no oily residue! It calms to give 72hrs Moisture and it's been two days since I used this sample and my skin is still incredibly smooth ! I'm excited to go out and purchase a full sized product and try it out over a long time !
This product is absolutely phenomenal. I received a sample and after using it one time, I immediately went out and purchased the full sized bottle. It goes on so smooth and absorbs literally in seconds. This product is definitely a new staple in my routine!
Alittle goes along way and you cant feel it or see that you have it on like some moisturizers that make your face look shiny love to use it under my make up it not being oily makes it perfect for that so you get the moisture you want withoit making yoir makeup slip
I received a few samples and was unsure about it. After talking with a coworker who is raving about it, I decided to buy a bottle for myself, thinking that the samples might have been off.
After using it on and off for a few weeks, I have decided today that this isn't for me, after the 4th straight day of passing it up and applying something else. I really dislike the smell, its more of personal preference, I find the fragrance to be a fairly masculine. It reminders me of a mans body wash scent, which is fine for most, I just don't care for it myself.
The serum itself is gel like, almost to the point its a bit watery, I suggest to shake it before you apply it. It takes a bit for my skin to fully absorb it, and leaves a bit of shine, which is fine as I would apply my regular products over top it, finishing off with foundation.
Overall it did hydrate my skin and left my face soft and smooth, so it does work like it's supposed to. I didn't find it to be an 'amazing' or skin changing though and like I said at the beginning, its more a personal choice.
My skin is textbook combination but leans more towards the oily side and this moisturizer has been amazing!
This product leaves my skin feeling moisturized without feeling heavy or sticky because it absorbs almost instantly. The scent and the texture are both very light, fresh and when I apply it to my skin I feel very refreshed and awake. The oilier parts of my face (chin and forehead) also felt more hydrated without feeling or looking more oily than it already was - my skin overall just had a healthy shine added to it. Also, I experienced no discomfort/irritation from this product and I did not have any breakouts.
I believe it retails for around 23.99 at SDM and I do realize that does seem like quite a bit but this product is available in a 90ml - that is an unbelievable amount and I have never seen such a generous quantity for that price. Typically, skincare products come in 50ml or maybe 75ml for either the same price or more. So, this product will last you for such a long time and most likely will save you money in the long run.
I was on the fence about picking up this product as it is a little pricy for drugstore at almost $20.00, but am I glad I did. I have extremely oily skin with cystic acne and almost everything I use on my skin makes me look like an oil slick in a few hours. I put this on after my facial toner and my skin looks instantly matified. I then put on my spf lotion and this still keeps my skin looking matte for hours. This honestly may have become holy grail status for me. I've only been using it for a week, so I hope my skin doesn't get used to it as that tends to be the trend but this product is amazing.
