Forget queuing up for prescription retinol – this budget pick is just as good
Here’s what our Review Crew® had to say about this potent serum formula
The product
Retinol is the OG ingredient to have in your skin care routine when it comes to ageing gracefully, but it’s had a revamp in recent years.
No longer do you have to cue up at the pharmacy to receive a prescription dose of retinol. No – we can now look forward to budget-friendly retinol picks lining the aisles of our local supermarkets.
Case and point: L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Laser X3 Pure Retinol Night Serum. Delivering a potent concentration of pure retinol (we’re talking a whopping triple dose here people) straight to where you need it. This new offering from L’Oréal is dermatologist-approved and tackles wrinkles (even the really deep ones), as well as age spots and uneven skin texture for your best skin yet. Plus, thanks to the addition of hyaluronic acid, glycerin and lightweight oils that soothe skin, this pick is gentle enough for even a retinol novice – though we do recommend easing yourself in. Rome wasn’t built in a day after all.
The panel
Beauty Crew sent L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Laser X3 Pure Retinol Night Serum to a panel of women aged 30 to 55 who regularly use serums and retinol in their skin care routine.
