L'OREAL Review: Face Creams.

Long time no write!

I kind of fell into wanting "perfect skin". I've been having slight discoloration in my skins pigmentation. I'm a warm yellow w/hints of pink. Although in photo's I'm white as hell! lol. Sometimes if the evening is around it's like a warm yellow brown?! It's weird.

So I've been experimenting with creams... I feel kind of old when I say this. I'm only 23 and already--wait. I should rephrase that. It's actually a good thing that I am starting and worried around this age... "better to start than later..." or... better than late than sorry or however that goes. lol.

I went to CVS a month ago for lipsticks honestly. lol I'm running out on "Pink Me Up". It's my favorite lipstick this past couple months! Anyway. I tried to find that Mint Masque by Julep at CVS but I found a similar masque called "Mint Masque" by CVS brand. Same thing just cheaper but I couldn't find the Julep. Tried that out and it burned like a mofo but I could tell it was purifying and cleaning deeply through my pores. Now when I wake up I still feel refreshed as ever from last nights face cleaning. My routine has changed a lot and I no longer use that many acne products because my face is clearing up pretty well.

My routine is pretty simple. It's 5 things:

- L'OREAL (This is if I was wearing makeup)
Skin Genesis Pore Minimizing & Makeup remover Gel cleanser.
- St. Ives Oatmeal scrub
- CVS Mint Masque
- Neutrogena Acne Cleanser (I sometimes use this, or skip to: Neutrogena On The Spot)
- Lastly, L'OREAL's Age Perfect Pro Calcium Night Cream (If it's morning time I do all above except the Skin Genesis because I only have makeup on during the evening if I'm not too lazy to do it, otherwise I'm just all natural :D).

Those are my 5 main steps. It works well for me.

But I do want to try another L'OREAL product. It's a whitening cream... this is suppose to help fix discoloration and scars etc. Which I have been working on for almost half a year since I started being more serous about my skin (my face).

So my review is about my last step I do. The L'OREAL Age Perfect Pro Calcium Night Cream.
It's semi-oily. But not too oilybecause it starts to set. I layer once by putting small portions (like tiny dots) from my forhead to the bridge of my nose and my cupids and then a semi larger portion on my cheeks to my chin and parts of my neck. I spread evenly allover w/the tips of my finger so that all the cream is fully covering all the "problem" areas that feel too dry or just needing more hydration (dryness).

Overall I do like this product. The only thing I don't like somewhat is the scent. Kind of reminds me of my mom's PONDS's face cream. It's not that strong but it's a smell I can kind of deal with but at the same time I don't like too much.

The products size is worth the $19 dollars sort of. It's a medium shape... like those Clearasil Pad containers only a little smaller. The hars lid kind of gives a slight illusion you are getting more product but the jar is thickly made so based on how you use it daily every night the product so far has lasted me from last month when I bought it and today and if you forget to do it that's still more product to use. lol Anyway, I'm assuming if you use it every day or every now and then this will last you for a good 4-5 months. If you don't do it daily it's going to last you 6-8 months. For me, I can already tell that how I use this it'll last me a good roughly 5-6 months. I'm going to try out the Whitening cream and probably write about it.

So far my experiences w/this product I rate it a 3 out of 5. Will I buy it again? Maybe. Do I like this product? Yes. But I like to try the whitening cream and then see where it goes from there. I do notice my skin seems more glowy, and the color of my skin seems more even and the darker areas are slowly matching up w/the yellow tones. I do feel that all that dryness on my cheeks have been healing from it and when I wake up my skin is very very soft.

This product helps your skin mature a lot better. On back it will reduce a lot of discoloration, and future saggyness will lessen. There is a lot of Soy Proteins and Calcium Micro spheres that penetrates deep to give a supple and smoother and strengthen skin/look.
