Twenty-three. That’s the age when I started working, and when I started spending my first pay cheque on beauty products. Back then, all I needed was the basic 3-step skin care set that consisted of cleanser, toner and moisturizer. Fast forward a few years down the road and I’m now heading towards the dreaded 3-0 while realizing that my skin’s needs are changing. Oh yes, as much as I hate to admit it, ageing is a process that cannot be avoided. But the good news is, it can be delayed.

L’oreal Revitalift Night Essence

It was just recently that I was introduced to this new product from L’oreal, called Revitalift Night Essence, that would apparently revive the elasticity and firmness of the 8 key zones on the face and neck that are especially prone to wrinkles. 8 zones! That’s a pretty huge number of zones to take care of, don’t you think? I’ve always been paying attention only to the eye area, boy did I miss out!

And so, I decided to head out to the nearest pharmacy and get myself a bottle of Revitalift Night Essence to try out. Apparently, cell renewal increases by 200-300% at night, making it the most optimum time for skin repair. Therefore, night-time usage is highly recommended for best results.

According to the information on the box, the New Dermalift technology acts within the skin’s layers to boost the production of 8 natural lifters, essentially the components that ensure skin’s firmness and elasticity.

Handy size

Reading all the information on the bottle got me all the more excited to try it out. The handy mini pump ensures that we use just the right amount of essence every time during the application. The fluid was thin and light, with a semi-transparent white colour and a pleasant fragrance.

The light and thin fluid

Following the instructions, I applied the essence on my cleansed face before any of my three-step skincare procedure. It was surprisingly easy to penetrate the skin, gliding on effortlessly on my face. Even though the box mentioned that it would not leave a sticky film, I could feel a mild sense of stickiness on my face after applying.

When I woke up the next morning though, the stickiness feeling was gone! My face turned out to be supple and smooth with a radiant shine. Best of all, I did not feel the skin tightness in the morning anymore – something that is common when I sleep in an air-conditioned room.

It’s quite an amazing product, if I may say so myself. Well, as for delaying the process of ageing, I will definitely have to use it for a longer term to make sure the wrinkles are kept at bay!
