L'oreal Rosy Tone Moisturizer

tototwo · ‎03-09-2010

If there are already threads on this, I'm sorry to repeat. I've seen the L'oreal Age Perfect Rosy (Peony?) Tone moisturizer in stores and advertisements. I'm interested because I have a fair, colorless complexion -- and I seem to get more and more pale with every passing year. I have to wear a moisturizer anyway, so one with a rosy glow interests me.

If any of you have used the L'oreal "Rosy" moisturizer, what do you think of it?

I've almost used up almost a whole jar of it. Like it as a moisturizer but don't notice any of the "rosy glow" that initially interested me in buying it. I have fair to medium, pink toned skin. Maybe it just blended in and I can't see it? On a side note, it does have a fragrance. I don't smell it after I put it on, but someone who is sensitive to fragrance, may be bothered by it. Bottom line--good as a moisturizer but no benefit (at least to me) as a way to enhance a rosy skin glow.

I was given a sample of this and I burst out laughing when I tried it. "Rosy tone" looked like bright pink on my skin. Honestly made me look like a clown. Also, the heavy fragrance was a big no for me because my skin doesn't react well to any perfumed skin products. Into the trash the sample went!

I won’t use L’Oréal (or Lancôme) face products because of the perfume. I don’t get why they do it

I bought some items years ago and was impressed by their effectiveness, but I couldn't tolerate the fragrance. And I'm not that sensitive to scented products!

No I haven't used this brand, but my all time fav moisturizer with a color and spf is Laura Mercier illuminating bb cream----It cost around $42 a tube but it lasts many months. Have tried other bb/cc creams and this brand is the best.

@tototwo Don't use L'oreal due to animal testing,

Cons from Beautypedia review:

Jar packaging means its most beneficial ingredients will lose potency over time.

Lackluster formula contains few ingredients skin needs for anti-aging results.
Contains fragrance, which can irritate skin.

@tototwo I bought some and it really didn’t impart much color or rosy tone on me. That said, it’s a pretty good moisturizer and, sometimes, that’s all I want. I like the smell and the smooth texture. I actually wish the rosy color was brighter on my skin.

I've been using this off and on for the past few months.

It's perfectly fine as a moisturizer; my skin is oily and even in the hot, humid summer it doesn't feel greasy or make my skin look like an oil slick.

I really LOVE the smell. IMO, it's fresh but not overpowering. I suppose if you're sensitive to smells you may not like it.

Does it make my skin 'rosy'? Not really. It DOES give it a nice low glow and I like to wear it on the days when I don't want to wear my usual face makeup.

Overall, I really like it.
