L’oreal Youth Code Luminize Super Serum Review

in Reviews, Serum, Skincare on


Hey everyone!
This review was supposed to be published one year back when I actually started using it. But oh well..Better late than never! 😛

What L’Oreal Paris says about the Youth Code Luminize Serum :

A precious, light-infusing serum developed for women aged 25-35 to help correct dark spots and reveal more even, youthful looking skin. The Serum is enriched with patented Lumi-GenTM technology to even and illuminate your skin tone.
CLINICALLY PROVEN RESULTS:
Immediately, your skin is deeply hydrated. It glows with a new luminosity. In 1 week, your skin is more even. Correction of different types of dark spots begins. Marks start to fade: dark spots, sun spots and age-spots. In 1 month, dark spots are visibly reduced. Your skin tone is even and more luminous.
HOW TO USE:
Apply this serum by itself or before your daily care, morning or evening, on your freshly cleansed face and neck. The light formula penetrates your skin leaving it intensely hydrated and incomparably silky and soft to touch. For best results, follow with Luminize Day Cream.
WHY USE A SERUM?
Highly concentrated in active ingredients, serums intensify the benefits of your daily moisturiser. Apply this serum daily on your entire face, by itself or before your Youth Code Luminize Day Cream to optimise your Luminosity enhancing regime.
The Luminize Super Serum is 40X more concentrated in Vitamin Cg which is the key active which helps to reduce spots and makes skin more even, giving it a healthy dewy glow.
INNOVATION: LUMI-GENTM TECHNOLOGY
After 10 years of research, L’Oréal scientists have cracked the code to more even, luminous skin by discovering a specific set of genes that are responsible for correcting discolourations and enhancing skin’s luminosity.
Introducing Lumi-GenTM technology, which regulates the skin’s pigmentation to reduce the appearance of skin tone imperfections.

My experience with it:
I have gone through two bottles of this serum, which means my review is based on at least 4 months of its usage.
L’oreal youth code luminize serum comes housed in a light weighted glass bottle with a pump. The pump works fine and I don’t have to apply extra pressure to dispense the product out of it. It also comes with a lock mechanism, so you can travel easily with it. All the details regarding the product are mentioned on the box in which it comes. Since it’s a glass bottle, ensure you don’t have butterfingers lest you drop it. I just wish it was a transparent bottle so I could see how much product is left.
The serum is a pearly white liquid which is quite thin and watery in consistency. It has a light refreshing fragrance. It gets absorbed into the skin easily, without leaving any stickiness behind. It not just leaves dry skin feeling hydrated but also gives a certain glow on face. I’m guessing it’s due to the pearly white particles. I have used this serum in all seasons of my skin cycle i.e. oily, combination and dry phase. While I found it heavy for my oily skin, it’s apt for my combination skin. When I have drier skin, I need to use another product for added moisture. 
I used this two times a day i.e. morning and night. It lasted me for 2-2.5 months, which is quite good. Now, the question whether does it really brightens the skin?
Yes! It does! After a week only of using it, my skin felt smoother and looked radiant. After a month of using it, I realized it had actually made my acne marks lighter. I was super happy with its performance. You know, how most products say blah blah about making your skin glow and lightening your marks, but don’t. This one actually did! One more thing, I bought this product after I saw the changes in my mom’s skin who used this religiously for 2 months. Her skin had got a lot more even, glowing and brown spots on her skin had considerably faded.
Now, the sad part is that once you stop using it, the results start to slowly fade. In fact, this is the case with most of the brightening products. So, it’s always a good idea to include a brightening product in your skincare routine to overcome dullness. In my case, I also have to keep alternating with products since they stop showing the same effect on my skin if I use them continuously for more than 2-3 months.

  *See how it absorbs so well?*


In short, I loved this serum! I have used 4-5 other serums till date but liked this one the most. It not just brightens the skin but also improves the uneven skin tone and lightens marks. Except for oily skin, I see myself giving its’ name to anyone who has a dull skin problem.
