Reveal Your Bright

L’oreal Paris Revitalift Bright Reveal

Our daily UV exposure , natural aging, hormonal changes and past acne marks cause an overproduction of skin darkening pigments making our skin look dull with an uneven skin tone. As we age, our natural ability to shed dead skin cells decline resulting in dark spots and uneven skin tone becoming more visible.

L’Oréal Paris RevitaLift Bright Reveal is dermatologist – inspired skincare line powered with : 

●Glycolic , helps in brightening and aanti-dark spots.

●Vitamin Cg, a known antioxidant with photo – protective properties

●Pro-Retinol ,  improves skin renewal minimizing wrinkles and uneven skin tone . 

First up in this collection is the ●RevitaLift Brightening Scrub Cleanser

This scrub has a light citrusy scent that disappears soon and does not linger long. This scrub had small exfoliating beads which helps in removing dead cells from the skin. My skin felt soft and smooth after using this product . 

Next is my favourite product in this line, ●RevitaLift Brightening Peel Pads.

The tub comes sealed and the pads are pre-soaked . When I first opened this product , I got a strong smell but the scent thankfully fades after application . The pads are so heavily soaked that one can cut it into two and use it twice. In this case, a little goes a long way . I have used similar products like this in the past but they Re very expensive . These pads work just as effectively as the other high end brands but cost less. I like using them every night and waking up to bright, smooth and glowing skin . 

Next is the ●RevitaLift Brightening Daily Lotion . 

This moisturizer contains SPF30 which is a must for me in any day cream . It has a citrusy scent but it fades away after application . Though the moisturizer has a thick texture , it absorbed quite well into my skin and did not leave a white cast . My skin felt soft and smooth after application . 

And finally we have, ●RevitaLift Brightening Dual Overnight Moisturizer.

This product also had a light citrusy scent but it quickly fades away upon application . This product comes in a dual shaped pump in which one side emits a lotion like serum and the other side emits a gel like moisturizer . The product applies smoothly but took sometime to sink in and get fully absorbed into the skin . It is not very moisturizing but for my combination skin it seems okay. And if my skin still feels dry , I just layer another moisturizer on top. 

I have been using this routine for a month , and it seems to be helping with my dark spots. They do seem lighter and my skin looks more radiant and bright. I received these products from Influenster for testing purposes and all opinions are my own.

My Vichy Skincare #VichyWorksForMe

I was recently selected to take part in the Vichy Skincare Super Panel hosted by the ChickAdvisor Review Club. I was super excited to try these amazing products!

The box itself was so pretty this time! I was given the Vichy Normaderm line to combat acne, pimples as well as to fade away blemishes.

● Vichy Normaderm Deep Cleansing Gel

This ultra  gentle soap – free, alcohol – free cleaning gel deeply cleanses sebum & impurities without over drying or irritating the skin. It’s ingredients have purifying, anti-bacterial & keratolytic actions to help prevent new imperfections from popping up. Retails at CAD 19.95

This cleanser smells amazing! My skin felt clean and fresh after using it. It cleanses deeply without stripping moisture from my face. I did not experience any dryness or irritation. It lathers nicely and does a great job of removing makeup too.

● Vichy Normaderm Pore Tightening Lotion

A toner specifically formulated for oily & acne prone skin with glycolic and salicylic acid to unclog , tighten pores and purify skin. Retails at CAD 19.95

This toner also smells nice. The smell is not overwhelming and fades away after application. Again I did not experience any dryness, burning or irritation with this product. My skin felt soft and refreshed after using this. It seems very effective in cleaning my pores and keeping the oil production under control.

● Vichy Normaderm Corrective Anti Acne Treatment

Combines 1.5% Salicylic Acid, LHA, Phe Resorcinol and new Air Licium technology to treat and prevent all signs of acne. Retails at CAD 29.95

This treatment is perfect for my oily, acne prone skin. It does not feel oily or greasy upon application and absorbs quickly. A little goes a long way. My skin feels smooth and matte. Completely shine free. It also has a light refreshing scent and has a gel like texture. It works well as a gentle moisturizer on my skin as well. I like the packaging with the pump. The product does not get wasted nor does it get contaminated.

Overall I am loving my new skincare routine. My acne is already fading and my pores look smaller. My skin looks and feels smoother, softer and clearer. I highly recommend this line if you have oily , acne prone skin. Thank you so much VichyCanada and ChickAdvisor for giving me this wonderful opportunity to try. #GotItFree #VichyWorksForMe

Dermae Hydrating Essential Set

Deeply moisturize & plump skin to diminish signs of aging with Hyaluronic acid. Enriched with vitamins & botanicals these nutrient rich formulas ensure soft, smooth, supple skin and a healthy, youthful glow.

This set includes:

Hydrating Cleanser with Hyaluronic Acid

I absolutely love and highly recommend this cleanser. It didn’t dry out my combination / acne prone skin. The cleanser looks and feels like a gel. It doesn’t foam very much but has a nice , light floral scent. After rinsing,  my skin feels refreshed, clean and well hydrated. This product is vegan , cruelty-free and uses natural and organic ingredients.

Hydrating Day Creme with Hyaluronic Acid.
This creme is perfect for my combination / acne prone skin. However if you have very dry skin , this will not help. The creme is very light & non- greasy. It  smells great and doesn’t break me out. Makeup goes beautifully on top of it.  This moisturizer does keep my skin plump and moisturized throughout the day. Plus it also gives me a nice glow. Again, this product is vegan, organic and cruelty-free.

Hydrating Night Creme with Hyaluronic Acid
This creme is very similar to the day creme. However,  it is a bit more rich and hydrating. But it didn’t break me out and nourishes my skin perfectly. It also leaves me with a nice glow and works well under makeup. It is not greasy and smells great! My skin did feel slightly plumper after using this. This creme is also vegan, organic and cruelty-free.

Hydrating Eye Creme with Hyaluronic Acid & Pycnogenol

I like this creme. It feels very soothing when applied and it hydrates the eye area quite well. It is not too greasy and it’s fragrance free. It doesn’t irritate my eyes and the packaging is nice too. I love that it’s vegan, cruelty-free and paraben free.

Overall, I loved using the whole set as part of my skincare routine and I will definitely repurchase.
