Anyone who reads my blog will know what a huge fan I am of L’Occitane and when the latest launch L’Occitane Pivoine Sublime Skin Perfecting Collection dropped through my door, I was pretty excited to give it a try, especially as it has amazing pink packaging! The range itself consists of eight different products and the main focus is on the star patented ingredient - peony extract. The new Paeonia Lactiflora, to use the official name, is an extract which is not only rich in natural plant sugars which target cells to correct irregularities in the skin’s texture it works to reveal a fresher and more radiant, natural complexion.
I have three products from the new L’Occitane Pivoine Sublime Skin Perfecting Collection which I’ve been using and they are the L’Occitane Pivoine Sublime Perfecting Makeup Remover, the L’Occitane Pivoine Sublime Perfecting 2 in 1 Scrub and the L’Occitane Pivoine Sublime Perfecting Toner. All of which come together to create a lovely little skincare routine.
The Perfecting Make-up Remover is always the bottle I reach for first after coming home from work. Described as being a refreshing gel which effectively removes impurities and make-up, including waterproof make-up, from the face, eyes and lips. It is enhanced with active ingredients that help to transform the quality of the skins surface, it gently cleanses, leaving the complexion fresher and more luminous. First things first, can we high five L'Occitane for making a bottle which has a pump! I am a lazy product user, I want them to be easy and require little effort, essentially pump action and this does make for easy use because I don't have to unscrew a lid and so and so forth. That said, I find two pumps onto a clean cotton wool pad/muslin cloth more than enough to remove the daily gunk from my face and this has currently replaced my make-up remover because I actually feel it does a much better job. Priced at £19 for 200ml it is an absolute bargain.
The second product is a 2in1 perfecting scrub which is a little bit different to what I had expected. Again it does contain peony extract, delicate micro-granules, and micro-exfoliant active ingredients and it is described as an innovative gel which not only has a unique texture but has a dual usage. So on the skin it transforms into an oil to cleanse and exfoliate, so technically it is an exfoliating oil (how clever). For those of you who like a product which isn't too abrasive, then this is one to look out for because it is really gentle on the skin, but it does exfoliate incredibly well. So not only have you got an exfoliating oil but it can also double up as a mask, so once you have massaged it into the skin, leave it for up to 5 minutes to work its magic and then massage the skin as you remove the remainder. This is a scrub I have been using once a week during my pamper time and my skin does absolutely love it. A 100ml tube retails for £19.
The final product within my trio is a Perfecting Toner. I have admitted on many occasions that I never have been bothered about using a toner, much the same as a Micellar Water, I don't quite see the point. However, I am always willing to try something before knocking it and with this product I was left pleasantly surprised at how much I did enjoy using it. So having removed the majority of 'gunk' off my face with the Perfecting Make-up Remover, I then use the Toner to mop up what is left or has come to the surface of my skin. Described as being a gentle toner which completes he make-up removal routine and revives the complexion with natural balancing actives. Enriched with perfecting Peony extract, it leaves the skin hydrated and smoother. So dispensing the toner onto a cotton wool pad, I wipe it across my skin and it is quite refreshing and cooling I find but it also leaves my skin so soft, smooth and hydrated. It costs just £15 for 200ml so is an absolute bargain.
This is such a beautiful range of products and one that is well worth looking into if you have never tried anything from L'Occitane before.
These products all sound amazing, I have not tried this brand before but do love the sound of them x
ReplyDeleteI love their products so much. They always smell so good!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I never use toner either :-)
ReplyDeleteI know that I should have a better beauty regime, especially as I am getting (ahem) older.
I will go and take a look at these products. Thanks for the recommendation!
What great looking bits, can't go wrong with some pink packaging. x
ReplyDeleteThis sounds lovely, but what are the granules in the scrub made from. I try to swerve the plastic ones, but if it's natural exfoliants then this if perfect for me!

ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of this brand - I always have one of their delectable hand creams in my bag! H x
ReplyDeleteI have never tried L'occitane before, I keep hearing great things about them though xx
ReplyDeleteLove L'occitane, and have not seen this range before. I find them especially good for presents for chaps who have everything too.
ReplyDeleteI want to try their make up remover because most ones I try leave my skin puffy and inflamed because it is so sensitive.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this brand before but it sounds impressive. Would love to try it first.
ReplyDeleteI love L'Occitane hand cream, and like the idea of the make up remover, but I'm not sure I could justify trying it for £19! I'm a cheapskate when it comes to skincare apart from my cleanser
ReplyDeleteI really love L'Occitane products and have never been disappointed with them and so glad to hear this range is just as good! Thanks so much for sharing

ReplyDeleteThese sound amazing! I have only ever used their hand cream but it was amazing x
ReplyDeleteI really like L'Occitane products - and your personalised flannel is too cute!
ReplyDeleteThe products all look and sound amazing. Loving the vibrant reds used.
ReplyDeleteOoh I hear so much about L'occitane but have never given it a go - worried about the price if it's not something that suits me... maybe I shall see if I can just get little samples or something to see how my skin gets on with it. Love the idea of an exfoliating oil! Sounds right up my street and I bet the whole range smells gorgeous if it's peony. Mmm!
ReplyDeleteI received some L'occitine products for Christmas one year and I have to save I was so impressed with them. I haven't had chance to try there scrubs etc but scrubs are one of my favourite buys always trying new brands out, will have to look into this one xx
