L'Oreal Paris RevitaLift Clinical Repair 10 Day Cream

New to L'Oreal's RevitaLift line is two new products designed to address the 10 signs of aging. I recently bought a tube of L'Oreal Paris RevitaLift Clinical Repair 10 Day Cream.

Packaged in a red, metallic tube, this cream is similarly scented to the other RevitaLift products. This slightly off white cream is thick and not as easily spread as some moisturizers. This product is said to contain clinic amounts of Retinol which is thought to reduce wrinkles. This cream is designed to reduce the signs of aging while protecting the skin with sunscreen.

I like this product a lot; however, it is a bit difficult to spread as it is quite thick. The scent is rather light and pleasant and similar to some of the Lancome products. This cream contains soybean oil which is thought to benefit the skin but because of that it seems to spread during the day and I noticed that it got into my eyes a few times. It can't be applied too closes to the eyes for that reason. This product is silicone free.

L'Oreal Paris RevitaLift Clinical Repair 10 Day Cream comes in a 1.7 ounce tube and retails for $25.

The Naked Bee Moisturizing Hand and Body Lotion

The Naked Bee Moisturizing Hand and Body Lotion is certified 70% organic. I discovered this great product at a museum gift shop. This product contains Aloe, White Tea, Honey, and Hyaluronic Acid. It is free of parabens, propylene glycol, and mineral oil.

This slightly thick, rich, emollient, lotion has a wonderful Green Tea scent. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling moisturized and soft. The scent is rather strong and lingers, but is pleasant. This product is concentrated which allows me to use less of it.

Availability of this product is somewhat limited as the manufacturer website does not allow consumers to buy the products online. Instead, I have found it available on Amazon. Available in a variety of formulas, scents, and sizes, prices vary.

In addition to the hand lotion The Naked Bee has a line of facial skin care products. Some of the products are available unscented.

The Body Shop Nutralift Firming Serum

The Body Shop's Nutralift Firming Serum is a new line of products designed to firm and plump the skin. This serum is rather strongly scented, a sort of sweet, fruity scent. Infused with Pomegranate and Honey, this serum seems to hydrate my skin and give it a bit of plumping. It is similar to Garnier skin care products (L'Oreal owns The Body Shop and Garnier.) I found this serum is a bit heavier than some of the others manufactured by The Body Shop, and it can "ball up." This seems like a great choice for a fan of The Body Shop who is looking for products mean to firm and moisturize.

A one ounce bottle is available at The Body Shop boutiques and from their website for $36.00.
