Claims:
High-performing star ingredient elemi PFA* stimulates the production of tensin, improving the quality of skin's collagen and elastin fibers, and helping to improve their bonds within the skin to create a firm supportive network. Ultra-light, oil-free fluid, luxuriously textured and delicately scented, offers an visible lifting effect.
 
Review:
This is the lotion version of Chanel’s Ultra Correction Lift Lifting Firming Day Creme SPF 15, and overall the same review applies. This daytime moisturizer with an in-part avobenzone sunscreen follows the same pattern as many other Chanel products: Mention a star ingredient, in this case elemi PFA; attach an anti-aging claim to it; then include just a dusting of it in the formula and don’t bother to mention that there’s no research anywhere proving it lifts skin. The exception for this version is that this isn’t packaged in a jar, but that doesn’t change the paltry amount of exciting ingredients. This is about as ordinary and dated a moisturizing product as you will find. Given the wafting amount of fragrance, this doesn’t shape up to be a brilliant choice for anyone’s skin. For more information about elemi PFA, please see the review for Chanel’s Ultra Correction Lift Sculpting Firming Concentrate.
