Advantages: Leaves your skin feeling soft and silky smooth

Disadvantages: None

I logged on to L'Oréal's website a few months ago and ordered my sample of this day cream. After trying it, it was the only thing I asked my husband to buy me for Christmas.

The Product
L'Oréal Wrinkle De-Crease Collagen Re-Plumper Day Cream with Collagen.

Availability and Price
The day cream will cost you from £6.00 - £8.00 for 50ml. It's available from Boots, Superdrug, and many online retailers.

Packaging
The packaging is quite simple yet stylish. It comes in a white box with a picture of the pot on the front, the product name, with the claims to "Visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles" and "Gives skin a Bouncy feel."

There are directions on the side of the box, another picture of the cream, a product description and underneath are the ingredients.

Inside the box is an instruction leaflet about the best directions to massage the cream into the skin and details of their other products in this range.

The circular pot itself is a purple blue colour, the lid is also this colour with a white rim, the product name and frequency of usage are written on it.

How to use
This cream is designed to be used after you have cleansed your face and neck. Unscrew the top lid, remove the plastic cover underneath, and just dip a finger tip into the cream, then massage into your face and neck.

The purpose
The Collagen Re-Plumper's purpose is, hydrate, improve the plumpness of skin and to reduce the visibility of wrinkles.


My verdict
My skin feels looks and feels radiant.

I use this once every morning after cleansing and before applying my make up. I have been using this since Christmas and I am not even a quarter of the way down the pot yet, which for me is good value.

The white creme is very thick and not at all runny. I run the surface of my finger over the cream, and although it looks quite translucent on my finger, it is more than enough to massage into a little circle about 2 to 3 inches in diameter, I just repeat this till I have done my whole face.

For me it is a great base before putting foundation on, but I would always advise to leave it about 5 minutes before doing this, because it does need a little time to thoroughly soak into the skin, otherwise it can leave you skin feeling greasy and looking a little shiny.

There is a very gentle smell to the cream, its quite a bland smell and reminds me a little of E45 and as soon as its on your skin you can't smell a thing.

So is my skin more hydrated?
Yes it certainly is, I suffer from eczema, dry and sensitive skin on my face. This has really helped keep my skin hydrated for longer with out becoming greasy or blocking my pours, and it hasn't irritated my eczema. Friends have even commented that my skin looks more radiant.

Does my skin feel plumper?
I honestly didn't think it would, but over the past week it has felt a lot firmer and softer too.

Wrinkles?
I know I'm only 27 but I do have wrinkles on my forehead, at the side of my eyes and underneath. I personally think it has reduced the visibility of them especially the ones on my forehead, but that may also have something to do with me not frowning at the other half so much!

Would I recommend it?
I really would. It is brilliant value for money. It is very gentle on sensitive skin, and even if you don't believe in the wrinkle decrease claims of the product, it does really leave your skin feeling soft and smooth. I like this product so much I'm going to buy the night version as well.

Summary: A great day cream for all skin types.
