It’s no secret that everything from ageing to the changing seasons means we need to change up the products we use on our skin once in a while. With the cold weather still wreaking havoc on our skin’s moisture levels and ageing skin still one of the biggest skincare concerns that people search for, Amazon shoppers have been raving about a L’Oreal moisturiser that left even their perimenopausal skin feeling soft and hydrated.
The L'Oreal Paris Hydra Genius, £6.17 here (was £14.99), has been racking up some glowing reviews from users after trying it, with many saying it improved their skin’s hydration after just one use. The non-greasy formula has also been a big hit with shoppers, and now you can get it for more than half price thanks to Amazon’s beauty sale.
The L'Oreal Paris Hydra Genius has been reduced from £14.99 to £6.17 here saving you more than 50%, and its aloe vera-infused formula has proven to be very popular with users with everything from perimenopausal skin to oily and combination complexions thanks to it’s water-based gel texture. The moisturiser’s ingredients list is also responsible for boosting hydration and softness, with aloe vera and hyaluronic acid both helping lock in moisture and plump up your skin, leaving it feeling bouncy, soft and nourished.
Although the aloe vera contents should help with soothing and calming even very dry, irritated skin, if you’re looking for something extra gentle (particularly if you suffer from skin conditions like eczema or rosacea), then Aveeno’s Face Calm and Restore Oat Gel Moisturiser, £11.99 here, could be just the thing. It has a similar gel formula that helps hydrate without leaving a sticky residue, whilst the oat content helps calm and soothe dry, tight and painful skin.
If you’re more of a combination or oily skin type, though, you can use the Hydra Genius in place of your usual moisturiser after applying your serums, and it can be used in both morning and evening, making it the perfect space-saving, does-it-all moisturiser to keep in your beauty cabinet. A little goes a long way, too, and you just need one pump to cover your face and neck, which means the 70ml bottle should last you a while.
Amazon shoppers have been raving about the L'Oreal Paris Hydra Genius, £6.17 here (was £14.99), with one saying: “Fantastic product as a primer and moisturiser. Needs just a few drops so will last. Leaves skin feeling fresh, clean and hydrated. First time I used it I was surprised at how smooth my foundation went on and stayed on all day! Smells so fresh I kept wanting to apply it. This is my go-to skincare product from now on and recommend without a doubt.”
Another said: “I didn't know how much my skin needed a gel product like this, I am getting used to my changing skin… I'm perimenopause. This gel is lightweight and absorbs very quickly into the skin, light fragrance that is pleasant and leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated if I could leave more than 5 stars I would!”
Whilst others praised it for suiting various skin types, with one person saying: “Perfect for my combination skin type” and another adding: “I love this moisturiser, good for oily skin, absorbs well, non-greasy and light, only thing is can't get the last of the product out with the pump mechanism.” Shop the L'Oreal Paris Hydra Genius, £6.17 here (was £14.99), in Amazon’s sale now.
