Hi,
This review is on my mother’s behalf. Major part was written by her. I have only edited the same. For I have not ventured into anti-wrinkle creams as yet. So I don’t think it’s justified for me to write it down. Though I want to give the sachets a try which we got as freebies (I love free stuff, I am cheap: p) because it has active vitamin C.
What it is:
An anti-wrinkle correcting facial serum.
What it’s used for:
• Active C Eyes corrects wrinkles and fine lines in the eye area with active vitamin C.
• Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduces dark circles around delicate eyes
• Silky, pleasant fragrance-free texture
• Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers

My experience with La Roche-Posay Active C moisturiser:
I have tried a lot of anti-aging creams but was never completely satisfied with any in particular and my hunt continued. I have used this moisturiser for more than 7 months now both am and pm. This is my second tube (recently purchased) and I have a normal skin. It’s an extremely light cream with a matte finish which comes in a sealed aluminium tube to preserve the Vitamin C, from air and light. The packaging is fragile but perfect as only the required amount comes out which is a peanut size. I never had any breakouts or skin problems ever.
This product is wonderful. Its non-greasy, easily blend-able. Pores look much smaller. Leaves skin supple and moist. I am 56 years of age and I can see quite a difference in wrinkles/lines and the overall condition of my skin. The finelines on my forehead, around the lips and smile creases are a bit faint. I have used it under my eyes along with another eye cream (but be very very careful as Vitamin C might sting and water the eyes) and it looks much fainter. The fragrance is very pleasant to me and fades away as soon as applied.
Pros of La Roche-Posay Active C Anti-Wrinkle Dermatological Corrector :
• Leaves skin smooth, refreshed and healthy.
• Skin glows.
• Vitamin C gives an even complexion.
• Skin feels supple and light.
• Worked on fine lines.
• Little goes a long way.
• Not too pricey for an anti-aging cream.
• Good consistency.
Cons of La Roche-Posay Active C Anti-Wrinkle Dermatological Corrector :
• Don’t try it as an eye cream as the Vitamin C might sting the eyes bad.
• Does not do much for the wrinkles.
• Contains Parabens.
Would I recommend La Roche-Posay Active C Anti-Wrinkle Dermatological Corrector ?
Yes! This is my second tube.
Would I re-purchase La Roche-Posay Active C Anti-Wrinkle Dermatological Corrector ?
Yes, it is much cheaper than a lot of other anti-aging creams or serums.
Love!
