I was perusing the aisle of Boots and I came across the L’Oréal Men Expert range. Now I have tried a few of their products in the past and truth being told I wasn’t blown away by them. But there were a few new items there, they were half price and I said why not! Here’s what I got.
MEN
EXPERT PURE POWER RED VOLCANO WASH
L'Oréal Men Expert Pure Power Volcano Wash
(is a bloody mouthful) is the brand spanking
new anti-imperfections face wash; that claims to fight spots and unclog
pores. I was intrigued by this; I knew that volcanic minerals are exceptional
for absorbing oil (It’s a key ingredient of my absolute fav the GlamGlow
SuperMud). This face wash combine’s volcanic mineral extract; which it is known
for its ability to absorb excess oil, with a high concentration of the anti-bacterial spot-killing-machine Salicylic Acid to help fight the appearance
of spots. It also contains Zinc; helps to reduce shine and heal any
imperfections. And finally a refreshing blast of Menthol, that has a cooling
effect on the skin. Skin looks purified without feeling dry. These
concoctions of ingredients remove oil and dirt to unclog pores and help keep skin
free from impurities.
How
to Use
Dampen your face and neck with a face
cloth (flannel). Next apply a pea sized amount of product onto your face and
gently massage, concentrating on forehead, nose and chin (the oiliest areas of
the face). Finally remove thoroughly with the face cloth.
Does
It Work
I was a tad apprehensive
about this; it’s a think viscous red gel but it does its job well – my skin is left clean but ever so slightly tight. As for its claims to treat acne; I can’t be sure, as I don’t have an active breakout at the minute. But this would be a dream for oily to combination skin types to maintain clear skin.
Men Expert Pure
Power Red Volcano Wash is €8.39 and is available
here online
and in-store at Boots and Tesco.
MEN EXPERT HYDRA ENERGETIC ANTI-FATIGUE MOISTURISER
Now this
one isn’t exactly new but I am really into Vitamin C at the minute and when I
saw this was one of the key ingredients, I was sold! This moisturiser claims to
“Fight
the appearance of 5 signs of fatigued, dull-looking skin and drawn features in
1 step.” Did I mention that this contain
vitamin C; which is known for its illuminating and brightening effects of skin. (For more information on exactly what
Vitamin C does and how it works, check out my review of the Kiehl’s Powerful Strength LineReducing Concentrate). Caffeine acts as a stimulant to promote cutaneous micro-circulation and natural
drainage in the skin, basically it jump starts your skin – increase blood flow
and drainage. Men Expert Hydra Energetic
Daily Moisturiser combines these two ingredients to give your skin a kick
up the rear end into looking better!
Does
It Work
This
moisturiser brightens and hydrates my skin. The texture of this moisturiser is a light non-greasy gel-cream that instantly penetrates and leaves
absolutely no residue on my skin. Furthermore my skin is left looking relaxed,
energized and healthy. Any complaints of dry, tight or dull skin can be consigned
to the past as rough skin is hydrated. Not only does it hydrate and brighten skin,
it also comes with a pleasant odour. A true multi-tasking gel at it’s very
best!
Men Expert Hydra
Energetic Daily Moisturiser
is €12.49 and
is available
