L'Oreal's New Skin Genesis Line

L'Oreal has introduced a new skincare line called Skin Genesis. They call it Multi-Layer Cell Strengthening Skincare and they say that it recreates stronger, tighter, more homogeneous skin, layer by layer. To do all of this, they have created something called Pro-Xylane, extracted, they say, from the beech wood plant, using an environmentally friendly process known as "Green Chemistry," making it bio-degradable and bio-assimilable. They also incorporate Hyaluronic Acid, an ingredient used in many other skincare products.

I don't know how interesting this sounds to you, but for me, a woman past the age of 35, anything with "cell strengthening" in its ad copy gets a second look from me. Thanks to Total Beauty.com I had a chance to do more than that when I received full-sized packages of the line's Daily Moisturizer Oil-Free Lotion and Daily Treatment Serum Concentrate.

The problem I have with most anti-aging products is that they are too oily and/or heavy for my skin. While my skin is aging, it is still rather oily and it is always a challenge to find lightweight, oil-free products that are also anti-aging products. I believe I have found the solution with L'Oreal's Skin Genesis line. Both products are lightweight and they don't leave me wanting to reach for the blotting paper.

I only used each product for a week so, at this point I cannot say whether or not they make my skin look younger, but after passing my initial test, they definitely deserve more consideration. I will continue using them and I look forward to seeing some results!

Tried the eye serum and hated it. $20 down the drain with nothing to show for it, plus it burned my eyes. Will not try anything else from this line!
