L'Oreal recently added a new line of haircare designed for curly hair called
L’Oreal Paris Advanced Haircare Extraordinary Oil Curls
Described as:
"L’Oreal Paris Advanced Haircare Extraordinary Oil will reinvigorate your dry & curly hair. The shampoo, conditioner, and treatment regimen eliminates dryness in just one wash (compared to one wash with a non-conditioning shampoo) using a formula with 6 luscious, lightweight oils. "
As a member of Crowdtap's L'Oreal Crowd I got to participate in a sampling of L’Oreal Paris Advanced Haircare Extraordinary Oil Curls line, and received these complimentary:

**I received a free sample of Extraordinary Oil Curl Shampoo, Conditioner, and Re-Nourish Mask in exchange for my honest review. Opinions are my own.
I love trying new skincare products, especially anti-aging multi-taskers like serums I can add to my night-time skin routine that revitalize my skin while I'm getting my beauty sleep. The newest addition to my nightly skincare routine that works in tandem with skin's natural overnight recovery process is a new serum by one of my favorite skincare brands, Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum.
It's a potent and luxurious lactic acid serum that supports natural circulation and reoxygenation, provides needed hydration, renews skin texture, reveals a brighter more youthful and radiant complexion, and leaves skin resilient to future damage.
This Revitalizing Serum Will:
- Renew texture and tone
- Deeply moisturize
- Minimize fine lines
- Increase elasticity
- Brighten and Plumps Fine Lines
- Evens Hyperpigmentation
This serum is infused with a unique blend of botanicals, essential oils, and vitamins, specially selected to work together to achieve optimum results.
KEY INGREDIENTS:
- Wakame Bioferment (Seaweed): Increases skin oxygen consumption to detoxify and boost antioxidant defense.
- Gotu Kola: Lessens the appearance of scars and increases skin firmness.
- Lactic Acid: A natural Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that increases skin cell turnover, for healthier renewed skin.
- Licorice: Lightens unwanted pigmentation and corrects skin discoloration.
- Argan Oil: Naturally rich in Vitamin E, this oil reduced water loss and protects skin's resiliency and elasticity.
And as with all Valentia products, this serum is made with natural and organic ingredients, cruelty-free, made using sustainable energy, vegan-friendly, and made in the USA.
MY EXPERIENCE
I've been using this serum as part of my nightly skincare routine for nearly 2 weeks and like it a lot. This milky-colored, light-weight serum is packaged in an amber colored glass bottle with an easy to use pump dispenser – which I like because it keeps the serum air-tight, germ-free, and dispenses the right amount of serum with no waste.
It's quick and easy to use. Each night after I cleanse my skin, I apply 2 pumps of the serum to my face and neck, let it absorb for a couple minutes, then follow it by applying a light moisturizer.
The serum is light-weight, non-greasy, absorbs fairly quickly, and has a refreshing citrus scent that I absolutely love because it smells so good. It feels nice on my skin, and it leaves my skin soft, smooth, moisturized , and less dull, and gives it an overall healthier look and feel. And as someone with skin that tends to be oily, I was happy to find that it doesn’t add to my oiliness or clog my pores,
I'm happy I tried Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum. It's become part of my night-time skincare routine, and I plan to continue using it.
I highly recommend it to anyone interested in a high-quality, effective anti-aging, multi-tasking serum.

"Luxurious natural and organic anti-aging solutions combining the purity of nature and the power of science."
"The Roman Goddess of healing, Valentia, relied on nature’s gifts to heal the citizens of Umbria. Whether matriarchs seeking to maintain their youthful look or farmers seeking help for sun damaged skin, Valentia used berries, herbs, barks and other natural ingredients. We also rely on all natural ingredients due to their protective, preventative and corrective powers.
Just like our namesake, Valentia Skin Care products have been formulated with natural and organic cosmetic ingredients that will repair and protect the skin.
After performing extensive research into what skin care customers find most important, we found an overwhelming demand for skin care that is natural, free of toxins and paraben-free. Natural ingredients with an organic base have proven most effective at repairing skin damaged by sun or wind, preventing signs of aging such as wrinkles, dark spots, and reversing the effects of oxidative stress on the skin."
**Disclosure: Valentia provided me with a complimentary bottle of Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum in exchange for my agreeing to use it and give my honest and unbiased review. As always, my opinions - positive or negative - are 100% my own, honest, and based on my experiences using the product.
The line is designed to transform dry, lifeless hair to soft & lustrous with Oil Complex – a combination of Coconut, Argan, Chamomile, Amla, Soja, and Sunflower oils.
These hair-friendly oils provide deep nourishment without the weight for incredibly lustrous, touchably soft hair.
I have long, curly, brown hair. And I tend to have normal to dry hair and scalp, and oily roots.
So since these products contain oils, I was unsure if they would perhaps make my hair greasy or add oiliness to my roots. However, I found them to work pretty good for me if I alternate every other time between using this Extraordinary Oil collection and using a clarifying shampoo & light conditioner.
With the shampoo, a little goes a long way and it lathers up easily into a nice, rich lather - I've never experienced a luxurious lather quite like this, it made my hair feel like fingers were gliding through strands of silk. It smells good, rinses out easily, and leaves my hair feeling clean.
After using the shampoo, I apply the conditioner, comb through my hair, leave it on for 5 minutes, then rinse it out. The conditioner smells good, distributes easily, helps me comb out knots quickly and easily, rinses out easily, and leaves my hair soft, shiny, frizz-free, and more manageable.
I rub a spritz of it between my hands and apply it to the ends while my hair is wet, then style it. My go-to style is usually a french braid. I find this serum good to tame fly-aways, too.
