It is time to analyze another of the products of the multinational L’Oreal. I have already analyzed other products on other occasions, and they have not left a very good taste in my mouth.
In this case, it is a facial care cream created to correct wrinkles, prevent and eliminate blemishes and unify the texture.
It has a protection factor 20, which protects the skin from UVA / UVB rays, thus preventing stains. And the 3% Pro-Xylane concentrate is the compound in charge of filling in wrinkles.
Let’s see what else it has in its composition, and in what position are the assets. To do this, as we have done in this Analysis of the Best Face Creams , we are going to go directly to the INCI and explain its ingredients one by one.

LOreal Revitalift Laser X3 SPF 20 Day Care Review Summary
Already in the second ingredient a sunscreen appears, followed by an ingredient derived from vitamin B3 that prevents spots and reduces wrinkles. This ingredient (Niacinamide) is safe in low concentrations, in this case it is in the third position, so it may have some risk of toxicity.
Then we find ProXylane, L’Oreal’s star molecule to fill in wrinkles, in a good concentration.
But from there the ingredients get worse. Silicones, alcohols, PEGs, irritating and sensitizing, photosensitive, and toxic ingredients begin to appear. I have even a paraben.
In addition to the problem with these compounds, Octyldodecanol (sunscreen) is a low-risk ingredient, but it has the ability to increase the irritation of other ingredients, so it can be quite an irritating cream.
What is clear is that it is not beneficial for our health, present and future. It has very few assets, and the only good thing is that it has sunscreen. Although I prefer to use a better cream, without sun filters, and apply a sunscreen afterwards.
It is clear that the brand is still on the same path, and continues to make mediocre products that can cause a lot of damage in the long run.
Alternative
There are many creams that exceed the level left by L’Oreal cream, but one stands out among all of them, the Nezeni Cosmetics anti-aging cream.
It has more anti-wrinkle and moisturizing actives, and in a better proportion, and it does not include the plethora of undesirable ingredients that I mentioned before. Much more effective and respectful of your skin and health.
