Age Perfect Extraordinary Facial Oil Reviews

This is the oil I have been using as part of my skin care regime for about 2 months now and I love it (I love all L'Oreal products!) I love the packaging, the cute glass bottle and the eye dropper dispenser. As soon as I opened the lid I loved the scent, it reminds me of getting a facial in a day spa!

A few drops on my face every night have definitely made a huge difference to how my skin feels in the morning. You would think because it is an oil it would make your skin feel oily but my skin just sucks it up straight away and as soon as it is absorbed it is just smoothness that you feel.

You only need a small amount every day so I think the 30ml will go a very long way making it very affordable.

the package and the price is what initially drew my appention .
iv been curious about other oils since iv only ever used cocnut.
it didnt have the oily , shiny residue afterwards.which was suprising.

the huge bottle, and little amont needed means its great value and will last aaaages.
soft and well nourished was the end result

This facial oil is my everyday holy grail item! I apply this oil at nighttime before going to bed and I find that it does the job of mosturising my skin very well! It is absorbed quickly into the skin and leaves no greasy trail! I cant even tell its on!
However, this oil does have a slight fragrance that some people might find a little overpowering. It smells like essential oils. i personally do not have an issue with the smell, its nice to put on at nighttime (quite relaxing actually).
I also use the oil to thin out my foundations (my old makeup trick). I have a lot of heavy duty foundations and to thin them out i mix the oil in with one pump of foundation and its makes applying them a breeze!

Now in my 50's, I find that my facial skin is becoming drier and drier, and not even the richest moisturiser can soak in enough. I've tried a couple of different facial oils, and have found that this Oil is lighter than others, which are alright during the winter months, but too heavy and suffocating in the wamer months. The LÓreal Age Perfect Oil is very enriching, absorbing into my skin quickly and leaving it much more supple. After using it daily for a few months, I find my face doesn't dry out and have dry, flakey areas anymore, and my foundation sits more smoothly on my face. I'm a LÓreal Extraordinary Facial Oil convert.

I received a sample satchet of this oil from priceline. I squeezed it all into a small air tight container and used it for a few weeks. A little of this goes a long way! Your face will feel super oily if you put too much on, so apply sparingly. This is one of the first facial oils I have used (the other being rosehip, and since then a few others).

The first thing I must mention about this oil is the smell. I really disliked it. So much so that based on this alone I would not buy it. I couldn't wait to finish the sample so I didn't have to smell like this anymore! (and I finished it to ensure I received all of the benefits it was offering) I found it seemed heavily perfumed, very strong and floral. It also lingers for quite a while so it is difficult to avoid. I could even taste it when it was around my mouth. Perhaps some might like the smell but it definitely wasn't for me.

The texture is as you would expect, oily and slippery, easy to smooth around on your face. The colour is yellowy and golden. I would apply this sometimes at night but usually of a morning before using foundation/bb cream, or sometimes alone. It worked nicely under my makeup, almost like a serum. My skin would feel quite soft after applying, though I didn't notice any dramatic changes to my skin whilst using this.

Overall this oil is very expensive compared to others which deliver similar results for half the price. It definitely didn't make any further difference to my skin than rosehip oil does (which I think is somewhat overrated, but still preferable to this). I don't think its worthwhile trying. It smells bad and is overpriced. There is a lovely range of different essential oils from different brands retailing for around $20 - do some research and try one of those instead.
