Loreal Plenitude Hydrafresh Aqua Fluid is marketed as a moisturiser with a very unique texture : the moisturiser is half cream/half gel which is supposed to literally melt into your skin. It is enriched with vitamins and ‘essential’ minerals – the box doesn’t quite say what these minerals are that make them so essential, but the moisturiser should leave your skin hydrated without the greasiness.
VERDICT : What I like about this moisturiser is the fresh, fruity fragrance. It comes in an attractive light green tube, similar to the colour of its texture, and has a pump which makes it very to use. As sad as it is to admit, I was looking forward to the promise of the moisturiser ‘literally melting into the skin’ – the words are printed in bold on the tube after all, and that is what they were marketing this product as different from the other moisturisers. I don’t know what their definition of melt is but mine is when you put a substance in one place and, without any prompting from anyone, just dissolves. That didn’t happen in my case. I put a small blob on my face and watched and waited for a full minute and the blob was still there.
The moisturiser is very light and the texture reminded me of a cleanser gel and I was expecting the moisturiser to foam up eventually and become sticky. It left my skin very greasy for a few seconds before it was fully absorbed. My skin did feel fresh, soft and supple. But it didn’t do anything to fight the signs of aging – which, from reading their promotions of the moisturiser, aren’t what they’re aiming for. I would probably only recommend Loreal Plenitude Hydrafresh Aqua Fluid to those with relatively younger skin – teenagers to early 20s who don’t need to worry about dark spots and wrinkles yet.
For around AUD$13 for a 50ml bottle, it’s not a bad buy either.
RATING : 4/5
