It [my skincare obsession] started back in the day as I watched my older brother agonize over his skin and slather Noxzema all over his face (it was the 90s after all). While he mainly wanted clear skin for the ladies, I quickly learned that one's skin greatly affected their self esteem. I wanted clear, beautiful skin - at a time where I had a grand total of zero pimple - so I stuck my fingers in his gigantic tub of magic and prayed he never caught me.
Fast forward eleven or so years and you have a 23- year old who is still obsessed with keeping her skin as beautiful as possible, except this time there's no need to sneak around.
Just before Christmas, I received a package in the mail containing a sample of L'Oreal's new Youth Code Serum Intense. I'd heard rumblings on the interwebs so I was pretty excited. L'Oréal scientists claim to have unlocked the code of skin's youth by discovering a specific set of genes that are responsible for skin's natural power of regeneration.
With GenActiv TECHNOLOGY™ and 10 years of research, L’Oréal Paris' Youth Code Skincare Collection promises to energize and repair gene expression, enhance the skin’s capacity for recovery faster after aggressions and unveil younger-acting skin.The line is formulated with Biolysat, a bacteria that works to repair genes, and Adenosine - a molecule that stimulates DNA and protein syntesis while producing collagen.
Having been using the serum for three weeks, I've become smitten. I've noticed that my skin is much smoother and radiant. During the winter, my skin tends to get very dull and I rely heavily on bronzer to make me look human. I've been able to ease up on said bronzer (and makeup in general) as my skin appears to be a lot healthier. I've been using this in conjunction with my Biore Steam Activating cleanser (or Clearasil DailyClear Daily Face Wash at night) and Cetaphil moisturizer. This has been giving me the best results thus far as I am not breaking out as much and can walk out of my house sans foundation.
If you're in your 20s, I HIGHLY recommend this product as it's great for preventative skincare. If you're already experiencing wrinkles, I can't say for sure how it would work at reducing wrinkles but you might want to give it a try anyway. The serum is great for anyone looking to brighten up tired, dull looking skin.
