We dedicate this article to the popular anti-aging series of an equally popular French cosmetic brand. Home care products fight wrinkles and volume loss like professional fillers.
The uniqueness of the line “Revitalift Filler [+hyaluronic acid]” L’Oréal Paris
The first visible signs of skin aging – small mimic wrinkles – appear already at the age of 25 and are localized at the outer corners of the eyes (“crow’s feet”). Horizontal wrinkles on the forehead and vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows, also caused by facial expressions, become more and more noticeable over time and do not add youth. Not to mention the deep nasolabial folds.
But that’s not all: skin aging is not only wrinkles and folds. The face gradually loses volume in the area of the cheeks and cheekbones, deflating like a balloon. The reason for this is a decrease in the production of collagen, which serves as the frame of the skin. External factors play an important and, alas, negative role in this process.
This is where the sad story ends. Today, there are many ways to reduce the visual manifestations of age to a minimum.
The most popular methods of correction are biorevitalization and mesotherapy. The second place in popularity among injection methods is occupied by injections of hyaluronic acid. The number of procedures performed is growing rapidly (+31,5% per year). And this is understandable.
Features of composition
The L’Oréal Paris Laboratories have pioneered an original formula based on the combination of two high-tech ingredients.
hyaluronic acid in high concentration moisturizes the skin, smoothes wrinkles and “fills” the face.
Fibroxil in day cream, eye cream and mask – a plant extract that stimulates collagen production for skin elasticity and wrinkle control.
However, finding an effective component is only the first step to success. The second is a formula that allows the actives to reach their goal and of course a texture that is a pleasure to use while using the product.
Expertise and technology have resulted in products with a delicate texture that are easy to apply and quickly absorbed, without leaving a greasy feeling on the face.”
Varieties of Revitalift Filler

Overview of the line “Revitalift Filler [ha]”
In our review, we will pay attention to each tool and clarify what users think about them.
Night Hyaluronic Mask Revitalift Filler [+hyaluronic acid]
The melting texture of the mask includes microspheres of hyaluronic acid, which “dissolve” during the application of the product. How to use as indicated on the package: apply the mask on the face, avoiding the area around the eyes, and in the morning wash off or remove excess with a cotton pad. The result is smooth, rested, hydrated skin.
Revitalift Eye Cream Filler [+Hyaluronic Acid]
A real homemade “filler” for the area around the eyes, aimed at correcting the relief of the nasolacrimal trough and “crow’s feet”, as well as fighting bags, lifting the upper eyelid. The bottle is equipped with an applicator, the curved edge of which is convenient to evenly distribute the product around the eyes, while lightly massaging the skin to reduce swelling and increase tone.
Serum Revitalift Filler [+hyaluronic acid]
This intensive serum is enriched with hyaluronic acid, the concentration of which is twice the concentration of the day cream in this line. The ingredient penetrates deep into the skin and, filling the space, pushes out wrinkles. The product is enclosed in a sealed bottle that prevents light and air from penetrating inside, which can harm the formula. There is a dispenser for precise application.
Day cream Revitalift Filler [+hyaluronic acid]
The stellar combination of hyaluronic acid and fibroxil gives you the right to count on a visible effect from the use of the product. Here’s what the test data says: already after 8 weeks, wrinkles are noticeably reduced, the oval of the face looks clearer.
Revitalift Filler Night Cream [+Hyaluronic Acid]
The composition contains the same highly concentrated hyaluronic acid, which regulates the water balance in the skin, in alliance with the plant extract of galanga. The function of the cream is to help the skin to properly rest during the night and recover so that the face looks fresh in the morning.
Rules for the use of funds
For optimal efficiency, it is better to use the entire line. Before application, work the skin with pinching movements along the contour of the lower jaw, in the area of the cheekbones, cheeks and on the forehead to activate blood flow.
Serum
Apply the product in drops at 6 points, between the eyebrows, above the eyebrow line, in the middle of the nasolabial folds in the area between the corners of the lips and the wings of the nose (on both sides) and on the chin.
Gently spread over the face with massage movements.
Cream
Apply the cream on five points: above the eyebrows, in the middle of the nasolabial folds (on both sides) and on the middle of the neck.
Distribute in upward motions from the bottom of the face to the top.
Stroke the forehead from the middle to the periphery, and then move down the contour of the face, with soft sliding movements.
Expert opinion

Elisabeth Bujadana, International Scientific Director of L’Oréal Paris
«Hyaluronic acid injections performed by dermatologists instantly correct the signs of aging by eliminating certain wrinkles and affecting the volume of the face as a whole.
The choice of the size of hyaluronic acid molecules, viscosity and volume of the administered dose depends on the area of the face and the severity of age-related changes. The more molecules of injected hyaluronic acid, the longer the result lasts.
When creating cosmetics based on hyaluronic acid, the situation is different: the smaller the size of the molecules, the better they penetrate into the upper layers of the skin and the brighter their properties are manifested.
Micrometric hyaluronic acid with a low molecular weight (from 20 to 50 kDa) easily penetrates the epidermis to a depth of 120 microns, allowing you to achieve anti-aging effect in addition to moisturizing. When added to cosmetics, it stimulates fibroblasts, resulting in restoration of volume.”
