After six weeks of using day cream, night cream, serum and eye cream, my skin feels very soft, the dark marks are less visible, you can not see them when I have make up on. Fine lines are a lot less now. My skin is less oily as well. I really love the serum and the night cream. I will continue using the products.

I had the best time reviewing the LÓreal Revitalift filler range. Changing from one brand to another is not always easy, but what I found most reassuring, is the fact that this product really works.
The shape of the applicator (eye serum and filler creams especially) assists with quick and easy beauty regimes which is such a pleasure, especially considering our busy schedules!
My skin appears brighter, plumper and has a beautiful healthy glow.
The dark under-eye circles are less visible and I can only imagine how much more impactful this product would be over longer periods of usage.
All the creams are lightweight and I no longer worry about shiny, oily skin.
I highly recommend these products, especially if you seek relief from aging, dull skin.
Thank you LÓreal and Beauty Bulletin for an outstanding product!

Its now been 6 weeks that I am using these products and I definitely am in LOVE with it.

They are true value for money.

I’ve been using the L’Oreal Revitalift Filler Renew range for a month now, and am very impressed with how my skin looks and feels.
To briefly recap; the range contains the highest concentration of Hyaluronic Acid formulated into a cream by L’Oreal. The products are also enriched with Fibroxyl plant extract, renowned for its firming properties. Inspiration for the range comes from analyzing how hyaluronic Acid injectable fillers work to plump lines and wrinkles in the skin. L’Oreal then sough to replicate this action in the Revitalift Filler Renew Range.
Below are the four products I tried from the range and my true feelings on each:
Revitalift Filler Renew Hyaluronic Replumping Serum (R284.95).
I’ve tried this serum about a year ago and really liked it, so was keen to really put it through its paces for a month. It was only after doing some research on how exactly to apply the product that I realized I’d been doing incorrectly! To get the best results, you really should follow the application method HERE
In general, serums contain higher concentration of active ingredients and, because their molecules are smaller, are able to really penetrate into the skin. Aside from the super cool packaging (it resembles an injectable), I enjoyed the lightweight, almost watery texture of this serum that absorbed within a few seconds. On application, the serum has a slight fragrance but it disappears within a minute.
Revitalift Filler Renew Filler Precision Eye Cream R284.95
This is definitely one of my favourite eye creams. I love the metal tip applicator that immediately cools and refreshes the under eye area. If I’m to be totally honest, I don’t use an eye cream daily, but I committed to trying this every morning and evening for the duration of the campaign (4 weeks) and have to admit – my eye area looks a LOT better. Dark rings are certainly diminished and my under eye bags (especially visible when I wake up in the mornings) are a lot less pronounced. My eye area feels wonderfully hydrated after using this, making applying my heavy-duty concealer that is quite thick (Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer), so much easier.
Revitalift Filler Renew Anti-Ageing Day Replumping Care R284.95
Aside from the fact that this day cream hydrated my skin, I noticed that immediately after application, it seemed to almost mattify my skin slightly. I read reviews of this particular product before using it, and noted that a few women said they found the product left a film on their skin, or they need to allow it to absorb before applying make-up. This was NOT the case with me. I found this cream absorbed really quickly (and I have normal/combo skin) and acted as a brilliant base for make-up. The cream does have quite a strong scent (that I really like), but if you’re one that doesn’t enjoy fragrance in your face creams, do be aware of this. As I mentioned in my previous post, there is no SPF in this cream, but it does contain Titanium Dioxide – so there is some protection built in to the formula. However, I’d recommend you apply some additional protection after – like a foundation with an SPF.
Revitalift Filler Renew Anti-Ageing Night Replumping Care R284.95
Even though this nighttime moisturiser is quite heavily fragranced and has colour (I don’t have an issue with either - but if your skin is very sensitive you need to consider this), it’s my favourite product from the range. I enjoy a really rich, comforting and nourishing night cream and this one ticks all my boxes. My skin feels immediately hydrated after using it, but leaves no greasy film.
I was also lucky enough to interview top dermatologist Dr Sian Hartshorne.
Q: What lifestyle changes can one make that will assist in counteracting volume loss in the face?
“Exercise that strengthens the neck and facial muscles such as Pilates and Yoga are recommended. These help keep the tone in muscles. Including a Collagen supplement is also advised, because it assists in collagen and elastin production - thus boosting the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid reserves.”
Q: Can you describe some of the typical signs of volume loss in the face and where it's most likely to happen?
“One of the first signs is a more noticeable square shape to the face. This happens due to of the loss of volume in the upper cheeks, and a movement of facial pads into the lower jaw areas. In some cases, vertical lines along the cheeks - commonly known as “jowls” become visible.”
Q: At what age can we expect to see volume loss in the face?
“This can start at any age from 40 years + However, some people have great genes and the real signs of aging only become evident from 60 years. Unfortunately, for women, menopause seems to accelerate the volume loss process as levels of oestrogen decrease.
It has been noted that those who suffered with severe acne as teenagers seem to have very early volume loss, and may look older even at a fairly young age. This is thought to perhaps be due to the damage created by the inflammation of the acne to the structures such as collagen and elastin fibres.”
Q: I've been using the L'Oreal Revitalift Filler Renew range of products for about 3 weeks now. The key ingredient in the day cream, night cream, serum and eye cream is Hyaluronic acid. But, applied topically can Hyaluronic acid REALLY penetrate the skin (it’s a large molecule) and make a difference to volume loss?
“If you look at all the research, the regular HA molecule is too big to penetrate the skin. However, L’Oreal have made the molecule smaller so it is able to penetrate into the skin, absorbing water and literally plumping it up. However, if the molecule is too small, it may create irritation and inflammation. All the products produced in the L’Oreal Revitalift Filler Renew range have been thoroughly researched and contain the correct size molecule; perfect for penetration that yields results. So yes, it can make a difference.”
Q: What is your top recommended non-surgical treatment for volume loss and why?
“For immediate effect injectable fillers (that contain hyaluronic acid) can make a real difference for areas where volume loss is of concern. The key is using small amounts, and making sure your doctor / aesthetician has had the correct training and experience.
Overuse of dermal fillers creates poor balance and strange looking features. Depending on the area being injected - and the desired effect wanted - the choice of filler is very important.
I also recommend treatments like Glycolic Acid Peels, laser and micro-needling to my clients who have fillers as these awaken fibroblast cells in the dermis of the skin, making them produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.”
To conclude this post, I’d say that the L’Oreal Revitalift Filler Renew Range is suitable for all women 35+ concerned with the signs of ageing. Now, while lines and wrinkles are generally a concern for women in this age group, there is a growing amount of women who say that sagging skin and a lack of fullness is actually their top concern – I know I fall into this group. This type of ageing is due to the gradual deterioration of tissues under the skin and the slowing of the skin’s youthful mechanisms.
If you have any of the signs below, the range would be appropriate for you:
- This skin does not hold moisture well.
- Skin is more marked when you wake (pillow lines).
- Deepening of dark under eye circles.
- Appearance of vertical wrinkles in dark circles.
- Hollowing of cheeks making the cheekbones appear less prominent and cheeks less rounded and plump.
- Cheeks seem a few millimetres lower.
- Accentuation of ‘laugh lines’.
- Appearance of a marionette line from the corner of the mouth descending to the chin.
- Loss of skin tone – thinning of the face.

These products are awesome. Easy to use and it actually does what it tells you it will do.
So you finally realize you not getting any younger when you start seeing fine line and a bit of wrinkles. Seems a bit scary though!
I probably have the most unusual skin on this planet. In the winter it goes absolutely dry and flaky. With my recent travel plans, my skin was also got more damaged from the aeroplane airconditioners. When I got back to South Africa, I was looking for a products that would not only help with my wrinkles and fine lines but also improve the texture of my skin.
Revitalift Filler Renew Day cream: I used this cream in the day. At first I was sceptical that it might not suite my skin, however I noticed that my skin adapted well to it. It made my face look full and the fine lines and wrinkles were not quite visible like before.
Revitalift Filler renew night cream: This cream is awesome. I can be a bit forgetful with a day cream but I definitely stick to a routine with a night cream as I found that using a night cream is more important than the day cream. After using this cream my skin feel soft replenished and fuller.
I feel and look a lot younger now!!!!!
Hyaluronic replumping serum: This product has really made my skin look hydrated and younger looking. I have had no irratation. It has a nice floral scent to it and really works well.
Filler precision eye cream: This is truly a holy grail product. You can actually see the difference after using this product. My fine lines have faded and my under eye looks more firm.
I would definitely continue using these products and would really recommend these products.

I was chosen to test the L'oreal Revitalift Filler Eye Cream and I am enjoying using this innovative product. It has a double-applicator tip that features of a curved side that perfectly fits under your eye and into the tear trough, along with a flat side to gently massage the eye cream into your skin. The metal tip feels super-soothing on tired eyes, and the cooling effect definitely helps reduce the appearance of bags.

What I love most about being a beauty writer and blogger is constantly trying out new and exciting products and then - of course - sharing them with you.
And after trying a budget-friendly range that gives me great results, I get a real thrill, mostly because I know so many women can’t afford to spend upwards of R500 on an anti-aging product.
For the next four weeks, I’ll be trying the products below from the L’Oreal Revitalift Filler Renew range. They contain the highest concentration of Hyaluronic Acid formulated into a cream by L’Oreal. They’re also enriched with Fibroxyl plant extract, renowned for its firming properties. While this range is great for women’s skins 30 years and up (those concerned with aging and volume loss), it’s women in the 40’s age bracket (like me), as well as 50 and 60-year-old women who’ll see the most benefit. Best news is, all four products in the range, retail for a very price-friendly R284.95 each.
The Inspiration
For the Revitalift Filler Renew product range, L’Oreal took inspiration from Hyaluronic Acid injectables, analysing how this filler works to plump lines and wrinkles in the skin. They then sought to replicate it in the range.
Hyaluronic acid injections work on two levels:
1. They provide instant volume
2. They actually stimulate the natural production of collagen.
‘The swelling of hyaluronic acid results in a mechanical pressure, stimulating fibroblasts which in turn produces more collagen,’ explains dermatologist Dr Emma Wedgeworth.
An easy to understand explanation on the loss of facial volume
Skin cells are embedded within a scaffolding-like structure called the extracellular matrix (ECM). This consists of collagen intertwined with various proteins and other connective tissue molecules. Collagen is often known as the ‘building block’ of the skin.
As skin ages, the ECM becomes more fragmented, losing collagen, which in turn contributes to the loss of volume.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally found molecule in the ECM, which is responsible for keeping the skin moisturised. It’s a highly hydrophilic molecule, meaning it attracts a significant volume of water and swells to many times its original size. Hyaluronic acid molecules are capable of holding a thousand times their own weight.
This incredible substance is found throughout the body - with 50% in the skin. It gives the smooth and dewy look of youth, but sadly dissipates alongside collagen from about 30 years of age.
The Revitalift Filler Renew range also contains Fibroxyl – an extract rich in sugars, which has been shown to activate fibroblast cells. Fibroxyl mimics the actions of a filler injection in the dermis (the lower layer of the skin), stimulating the fibroblasts to produce collagen, making skin behave as if it were much younger.
The Products
When the products arrived, I was instantly struck by how cool the packaging is. The serum’s packaging in particular is my favourite. It resembles a giant syringe and is designed to protect the formula from air and light. Clever huh?
I also like that fact that the eye cream has an applicator that’s curved on the one side. It also has a flat metal end that you use to gently massage the cream in.
Both the day and night creams are packaged in glass jars, giving them quite a luxe feel. I like the silky texture of the day cream, and noticed it absorbed super quick, without leaving my skin looking shiny. While the day cream doesn’t have an SPF, I noticed in the ingredient list that it does contain Titanium Dioxide. However, I would recommend applying a separate sunscreen, or using a foundation with a built-in SPF for extra protection. The night cream has a very luxurious texture and is super hydrating.
Good To Know
Back in 2003, while working for True Love magazine, I was fortunate enough to visit the L’Oreal Head office in Clichy just outside Paris. I was given a tour of the research lab, and it was there that I got to see just how cutting edge their scientific research really is. At the time L’Oreal had just pioneered growing actual human skin to test their products on. It was mind-blowing to see skin cells growing in petri dishes, and the whole experience gave me a new perspective on the brand. The thing with mass brands like L’Oreal is, because they’re so big, they can afford to spend millions on research and development, and that ensures their products are effective and safe.
Too many women think expensive equals better.
But, this is NOT the case.
I’m super excited to report back in a month on how I – and my skin - experienced this range.

When I was chosen for the Beauty Bulletin L’Oréal Review Club I was very excited, because a few of my friends had been using Revitalift products for years, with great results. I wasn't sure that it would do the same for me.
I received the following products:
• Hyaluronic Replumping Serum
• the Filler Precision Eye Cream
• the Anti-Ageing Night Replumping Care
• the Anti-Ageing Day Replumping Care
The serum and eye cream packing is particularly impressive. It looks far more sophisticated than the price suggest.
What I like most so far is the Eye Cream, because it comes with an applicator, so I don't need to touch my eye area with my fingers. And it's pretty simple to use too.
The day and night creams are rich and creamy and absorbs into my skin with minimal effort. And the serum is good preparation for before applying the day cream.
In the email I received from BB, I was told that results take 2-4 weeks to show, however, my skin almost immediately felt and looked more hydrated after using the products twice daily. I can't wait to see what happens after 4 weeks!
So far, so good.
My only issue so far is the scent. It smells good, however I have sinus issues and so a runny nose follows for an hour or two after applying the creams. But that's a small issue in the bigger scheme of things.
I would certainly recommend the product.

I am 46 years old with severe sun damage skin, and I am thrilled to try out this range!
I only received my products about 10 days ago as Skynet made a mistake with my delivery address, but I would love to give my initials feelings & opinion regarding this range.
The packaging:
Love the colour of the packaging and the Hyaluronic Replumping Serum and The Filler Precision Eye Cream are divine. I so wish the day and night cream can also be made in a pump action. So much better for functionality and the ingredients will last longer.
The product:
With all the products I can feel a sensation on my skin after application, but not irritating my skin at all. My skin feels very soft and plump in the morning. What I dislike is the amount of glycerin (not sure), my skin feels a bit greasy after application. BUT for the affordability and the way that my skin feels hydrated, soft and smooth, it is a winner in my eyes.
I would love to see the results in a month time and see if there are differences regarding my wrinkles! :-).

I have been brand loyal to a different brand of beauty products for the last 15 years and was quite interested to see how my skin reacts to a change of product.
When I received the range of products, I was immediately impressed with the super-sleek, sophisticated packaging. It speaks of class and I loved it from the offset.
I have a concern with dark under - eye circles as well as fine lines underneath my eyes, so that was the first thing I targeted. I do not have concerns with wrinkles but have smiling lines and forehead crease lines which I was keen to see whether the product would assist with these.
I was very impressed with the 'syringe' resembling tube - the filler serum was packaged in. It made the application process easy and effortless.
The eye cream has a shank side on both ends and this assisted with application around the sensitive eye area very controlled.
Both the night and day creams have a lavender colour which took some getting used to, but I absolutely love the smell of the product. On application of all products I felt my skin was plumper, softer, and the creams were light and easily absorbed. There was no heaviness or oily residue which is perfect for my combination skin. What is also quite a treat, is that at the end of the day, my skin is normally very oily, but I do not have this problem at all. My skin remains bright, and moisturized, even when I decide to wear make-up certain days.
I would have loved to see the visibility of SPF 15/20, just as extra assurance of my skin protection, especially with our Cape Town sun.
The eye cream had a very refreshing and cooling effect and I can see that the tiredness is not as visible anymore. This helps quite a bit!
I am quite keen to see the results of the products over a six week period, where I will compare the before and after images.
I am very happy to see the small differences in my skin and cannot wait to share more of the results over the next few weeks.

It's been 2 weeks now since I started using the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Renew Filler range and as expected, when I received them the packaging did not disappoint. Clearly labelled, so no confusion as to what is what and which goes where - believe me, I mention this because I have had to Google once or twice before.
On opening the boxes, I was impressed by the opaque tubs, a good sign as this means they are conscious of the ingredients and maintaining their integrity. I feel like I'm somehow getting a little carried away here, the serum bottle was beyond fancy and pumped out in small quantities just as one would want. After-all serum is your "precious element" in any skincare routine and one wants to get the maximum usage out of it. The eye cream, also another well thought out tube with a cold steel tip to help cool the eye area and soothe any puffiness. 5 out of 5 on product presentation and packaging - seriously!
Now being an ingredient fanatic, it was important for me to note what the key ingredients were. My heart skipped a beat a hyaluronic acid. If you don't know, hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the body, it is what is responsible for your moisture levels and has the ability to bind water up to 1000 times it's weight. Think from raisin to grape. Now who doesn't want that smooth, supple, plumped up effect on their skin?!
The one thing I wasn't too sure about was fragrance. I am not one that ordinarily appreciates fragrance particularly in my skincare products, and first thing that jumped out at me was the scent. I find that my skin becomes a bit sensitised when fragrance is present, and unfortunately, yes I did have a bit of reaction in terms of a breakout, and I never breakout, yes never. The way around this for me was to then pull back and slowly introduce the fragranced day and night creams separately just to allow my skin to regulate and hopefully get used to it. Seems to have worked as nothing new has popped up since.
As with any skincare regimen, consistency is key! Results are accumulated and noticed over time, so I'm looking forward to the 4-6 week period when something significant will show up.
So initial thoughts, this gets a thumbs up from me.
6 Weeks Later - The Update
If you are serious about your skincare and anti-ageing goals, this is certainly one of those products I would recommend. 6 weeks later, you definitely begin to notice the skin's texture change. My skin was more supple, and one must remember this was tested during the winter time, where skin is more prone to dryness and sensitivity. I can only presume the results get even better over time, I continue to sing about consistency being the only true way to reap the benefits of complete skincare regime. This range gets two thumbs up from me now. Still no make needed for me as I am comfortable in my own skin!

It's been 2 weeks on L'Oreal Revitalift products, and I'm still excited. There's something soothing about trying new products, or maybe its the double applicator, designed especially for the contours of your eyes. I'm addicted to this small applicator, I spend minutes using the flat side to massage the hollow of my under eye . There is a bit of a string to it though, which you feel after a minute of application, but gradually fades off with frequent use of the product.
It will be easier for me to break this done in point form ( that's how I always unpack my throughts).
1. Packaging: I'd give it 200%. Not too girly girly, but feminine. It shouts 'sophisticated, millennium, powerful woman'. I love how you can easily tell the difference between the day and night cream. Night cream has more of a purple ombre which a touch of grey to it, whilst day is all shades of grey. Not too much writing on package, which gives it a very organized look. Shapes, not to round and not too futuristic, just perfect.
2. Product: So far so good. As mentioned above, there's a bit of a sting when applying the eye but not unbearable. The moisturizing cream (day/night) feel quite velvety on the skin, heavenly. I have observed a change underneath my eyes, less dark spot.
3. Worth the investment? I definitely think it is. I cant wait to see my final self but I'm already ecstatic regarding the outcome. I know that this is one review that changed my current beauty routine, and the price is really not bad considering that this is an investment.

I turned 40 in January and there have been a few very nigly issues to deal with regarding my aging skin. It seemed that all the products I was trying just were not living up to their expectations. That seems to have changed now.
I was lucky enough to be chosen to be a part of the L'Oreal #TruthAboutAging review club for Beauty Bulletin and was very excited to receive 4 full sized products to review and give feedback on.
I was pretty nervous about doing the review because one of the requirements was that you wear no makeup while filming or taking images. Anybody that knows me, knows that I can't bear to show my face without even just a little CC cream to smooth over the surface and hide some of the nasty lines of aging so it was really challenging for me to start this review without some trepidation, that plus my video making skills are seriously lacking.
I was really excited when I didn't just receive sample sizes but 4 full sized items which is amazing because it will really let me test it properly. I have received samples in the past and not been able to give a good review because there simply wasn't enough product to go around. Beauty Bulletin has made it possible to actually review this product over a 6 week period which is great because it gives a true reflection. That saying of "Rome wasn't built in a day" is true and it will take a lot longer that 1 week worth of use to see any concrete results using any product claiming to change the appearance of your skin.
I first and foremost want to mention how beautiful the packaging is. It is really very sleek and stylish. It gives an appearance of a very high-end range of products and the look and feel of the tubes and moisturizer containers that of very high quality. I also like the uniqueness of the design of the Replumping Serum to give the impression of a syringe as a play on the idea of clinical fillers that make use of needles and syringes and it allows to really target fine lines and wrinkles. And am in love with the design of the eye cream with it's cooling flat ended applicator. It really gives a cool and refreshing feel to the eye area when you use it. It is perfect for the contoured area of the eyes and really soothes and calms tired saggy skin.
I received the following to review:

Overall my thoughts so far are very positive. This range of products claim to re-plump your skin and fill out fine lines and wrinkles as well as define contours. I have already seen a visible difference in a particularly obvious set of deep furrows between my brows. I see a marked improvement in their appearance even after just 2 weeks of use. I also see a much tighter less crepe like appearance to my eyes and skin when I wake up in the morning which is due to the Hyaluronic Acid which is in all the products.
The Day & Night creams are very rich almost like a mask or treatment and the night cream is very lush and deeply moisturizing. I love how I feel when I wake up, it really does feel like my skin underwent complete restoration during the night. The fragrances are quite strong in the containers but the strength does dissipate when it is applied to the skin. All the products absorb really quickly and leave a fantastic base for my make-up. I have not needed to use a primer since using this product.
There is alcohol in the eye cream and serum and although I try and avoid that where I can, I did not find it has had any major drying effect on my already dry skin.
I am very excited to compare pictures at the end of the 6-week trial, I am sure I am going to see a marked difference.
I have made a little video expressing my initial thoughts as well as showing the products I received.
So what happened after 6 weeks?
Well, I have been using the products religiously for the full 6 weeks and although I have seen it be extremely effective in the reduction of fine lines as well as miraculously re-plumping my sagging skin around my eyes, I sadly have to comment that I have really been experiencing some breakouts since using it. I experienced the first breakouts quite soon after starting and thought that if I stuck to it, my skin would adjust but it just doesn't seem to have. I suspect this would not be the ideal product for someone with sensitive skins and I am not entirely sure what is making me break-out but I have. My skin is not all that prone to break-outs so I can only put it down to the new product.
I would still recommend the product to other's thought but sadly have to say that I no longer think I will buy it again because of this particular issue. Had I not had the skin trouble then I would repurchase it yes.
Thank you to Beauty Bulletin for giving me the opportunity to try it out and let you all know my thoughts.

I received the L'oreal Revitalift Filler Renew Range to review and have been using them everyday for the last two weeks.
The range consists of the Hyaluronic Replumping Serum, the Filler Precision Eye Cream, the Anti-Ageing Day Replumping Care and the Anti-Ageing Night Replumping Care.
Hyaluronic Replumping Serum
"This is not a Dermalogical Filler however, it will reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and replump the look of skin contours. This serum is 10x more concentrated with hyaluronic acid than the average L'Oreal Paris day cream"
Pros:
* It contains hyaluronic acid, which is great for restoring moisture to your skin.
* I also absolutely love the innovative, fun packaging. It looks like a syringe which delivers the optimal dose of serum, and protects the formula from air and light.
* A well priced hyaluronic acid serum.
Cons:
Unfortunately it also contains a lot of alcohol, which is very drying for your skin and can do damage to the collagen in your skin.
So far I haven't seen any major changes in my skin. I'm interested to see how my skin looks and feels after 6 weeks of using these products, when I'll do another review.
I'm a bit torn about this product as I love the packaging and anything with hyaluronic acid is great, but the high alcohol content is a bit worrying.
Filler Precision Eye Cream
"L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler Eye Cream reduces the appearance of wrinkles, replumps skin with moisture, while it also replumps the hollow tear area."
Pros:
Packing is amazing. Perfect to dispense a small amount of cream under the eye, and also protects the product from light and air. The applicator is curved on one side, with a flat metalic end to gently massage the cream under your eye area towards the cheekbone. 5* for this.
Cons:
As with the Serum, it does contain alcohol but possibly not as much, as it's further down the ingredient list. I do feel a slight sting for a few seconds when applying it , so that could possibly be from the alcohol.
The skin under my eyes looks and feels hydrated and moisturised. A good addition to your skin care regime at a good price.
Anti-Ageing Day and Night Cream
What I noticed immediately about both the day and night cream is that they contain a lot of glycerin. Now glycerin isn't bad for you at all, as it increases the amount of water in the outer layers of your skin, making it more hydrated. I absolutely love the night cream as it feels really rich and smooth and you almost feel like you've applied a wonderfully hydrating mask on your face at night.
However, with the day cream, I had to use a really small amount as otherwise it didn't absorb fast enough for me to apply my foundation. I do like both creams but have to use the day cream more sparingly than I would a lighter moisturiser.
Both contain the 'highest concentration of Hyaluronic Acid formulated by L'Oreal Paris in a cream", which is obviously what makes this moisturiser stand out from previous products. It doesn't say how much it contains (just 10x more) but if you're interested it's listed about half way among the list of ingredients.
The day cream doesn't state if it has any SPF, but I do see Titanium dioxide in the ingredients list. I would still recommend applying a separate sunscreen as well though.
Both also contain alcohol which is never good for your skin as it dries it out.
Overall my skin feels hydrated, soft and smooth, and I'm interested to see how my skin looks after 4 weeks.
UPDATE: Watch the video to see the final verdict xxx
The range consists of the Hyaluronic Replumping Serum, the Filler Precision Eye Cream, the Anti-Ageing Day Replumping Care and the Anti-Ageing Night Replumping Care.

I absolutely love the night cream as it feels really rich and smooth and you almost feel like you've applied a wonderfully hydrating mask on your face at night.
However, with the day cream, I had to use a really small amount as otherwise it didn't absorb fast enough for me to apply my foundation. I do like both creams but have to use the day cream more sparingly than I would a lighter moisturiser.
Both contain the 'highest concentration of Hyaluronic Acid formulated by L'Oreal Paris in a cream", which is obviously what makes this moisturiser stand out from previous products. It doesn't say how much it contains (just 10x more) but if you're interested it's listed about half way among the list of ingredients.
The day cream doesn't state if it has any SPF, but I do see Titanium dioxide in the ingredients list. I would still recommend applying a separate sunscreen as well though.
Both also contain alcohol which is never good for your skin as it dries it out.
Overall my skin feels hydrated, soft and smooth, and I'm interested to see how my skin looks after 4 weeks.

Revitalift Filler Renew range contains the highest concentration of Hyaluronic Acid formulated by L'Oréal Paris in a cream. It is also enriched with Fibroxyl plant extract, known for its firming properties.
It is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Gives a plumper, bouncier skin and fuller-looking contours.It is also enriched with Fibroxyl plant extract, known for its firming properties.
Its texture is rich and comforting and definitely helps skin feel plumper and nourished. I'm a HUGE, did I say, MASSIVE fan of the buzzword / buzz phraze "Hyaluronic acid" and its incredible effects on aging skin. I discovered this when I used another skincare brand and had amazing results.
Hyaluronic acid is actually a natural structural component of skin, and, in fact, is present in connective tissue throughout the human body. The magic of this ingredient lies in its ability to retain moisture. In fact, one gram of hyaluronic acid is able to hold up to six liters of water! As we age, our skin loses moisture, resulting in a loss of plumpness and firmness.
Not only does hyaluronic acid provide moisture, it provides antioxidant defense against free-radical damage. This reduces inflammation.
Now that’s what I call a versatile and talented anti-aging ingredient!
