L’Oreal Skin Genesis Serum & Oil-Free Moisturizer Review

Finally, effective anti-aging skincare for less than $25!

When I began using L’Oreal Skin Genesis Serum ($20) and L’Oreal Skin Genesis Oil-Free Moisturizer ($25), I had few expectations. I had never even touched anti-aging skin care that did not retail in department stores — I figured you had to pay the big bucks to get any kind of decent wrinkle-preventing skin potion. I suppose I was wrong! L’Oreal Skin Genesis Serum and Moisturizer are now sitting pretty in their respective silver and pink bottles on my bathroom sink, nearly empty.

I love the serum and moisturizer combo! L’Oreal Skin Genesis Serum leaves my skin silky-smooth, but not just emollient-silky — the skin on my face is visibly resurfaced and feels baby-smooth to the touch, and it has actually replaced my former favorite skin brightening serum for now (I use Skin Genesis in the morning). Skin Genesis Oil-Free Moisturizer is a great companion to the serum and does not leave my face feeling greasy whatsoever. I am usually wary about applying moisturizer to my combo/oily skin but I love this one.

These products use L’Oreal’s patented “Pro-Xylane” technology to create an ideal environment for the skin to maintain it’s healthy, strong, and youthful look. Hyaluronic acid is also reintroduced back into your skin for healthy cell performance.

Keep in mind that the Oil-Free Moisturizer does not contain SPF. I don’t believe it was intended to, as SPFs tend to leave a greasier film.

If you are looking for affordable anti-aging skincare, the L’Oreal Skin Genesis line is absolutely lovely and delivers results. I’m loving that I’m finding so many “recession obsessions” these days!
