L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Crystal Fresh Hydrating Gel Cream (50ml)

L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Crystal Micro Essence is the number one facial essence of L’Oreal Paris, which helps to preserve youthful and radiant skin. Not only does this facial essence aim to hydrate, it also reveals crystal clear skin in just 7 days. This facial essence is powered by brightening actives such as Hepes, Salicylic Acid and Centella Asiatica, which are well-known for accelerating skin renewal and giving a bright, crystal clear complexion. Not only that, these ingredients in the L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Crystal Micro Essence help to control excess oil sebum and minimise pores, all while gently exfoliating dead skin cells to reveal brighter, more refined skin with minimised pores. In addition, the Centella Asiatica will greatly help to deeply repair, boost skin’s elasticity and smoothen out lines and wrinkles. Powered by micronised technology, this facial essence penetrates up to 10 skin layers allowing for a more efficient absorption and to prepare the skin for better moisturisation, increased smoothness and brighter radiance.

The L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Crystal Micro Essence contains Salicylic Acid, which is a type of beta hydroxy acid (BHA). This BHA act as an exfoliant by removing dead skin cells from the skin’s surface. One of the biggest benefits of Salicylic Acid is its ability to declog pores, reducing the appearance of blemishes for crystal clear skin. However, unlike Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid is oil soluble, making it suitable for exfoliating oily skin. As it is oil soluble, it penetrates into the pores more effectively rather than remaining on the surface. Salicylic Acid is suitable for all skin types, however some women with extremely dry skin profiles may experience irritation and discomfort upon application of products containing Salicylic Acid. 

A facial essence such as the L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Crystal Micro Essence should be applied after cleansing your face and applying toner. As it helps your skin in absorbing your skincare products better, it is best to apply your facial essence early in your skincare routine. Just as with any skincare routine, the first step is to cleanse your skin of any impurities.
