There aren’t a ton of things businesswoman and reality starBethenny Frankeland I have in common.

After watching a few seasons ofReal Housewives of New York,I think it’s safe to say that she and I are not likely brunch compatible, but where Frankel and I do come together is our love forL’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Midnight Cream.

The first time I saw her rave about this night cream on social media, I laughed so hard because she said exactly what I was feeling (in a slightly different New York accent) with the same passion and zeal — and foul language — that I would say it. I’ve been usingL’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Midnight Creamfor more than a year, and it’s one of thebest night creamsI’veeverused.

As a beauty editor, I’ve tried hundreds (if not thousands) of skincare products at this point in my career, and this L’Oréal Midnight Cream is so impressive because, for less than $30, you get a high-quality, luxurious-feeling cream.

One of the major benefits of this face moisturizer is howhydratedandsoftit makes my skin look and feel. This past summer, I wastesting a new face wash, and it left my skin dry and flaky overnight. Just a dime-sized amount of Midnight Cream immediately erased the look of dryness and made my skin feel smooth. (Yep, it may be considered a night cream, but it’s okay to use in the daytime, too — justdon’t forget your SPF!)

This night cream is made with shea butter, vitamin E, and glycerin, which would explain why it’sso moisturizing, yet it still absorbs quickly, and I don’t feel it once it’s on. I’d consider this anocclusive moisturizerbecause it’s quite rich, but the soufflé-like texture isso lightthat I still use it in the warm months in small amounts (and again, when I need a large dose of hydration for really thirsty or crepey skin).

Did You Know?Bethenny Frankel was such a fan of L’Oréal Paris Midnight Cream that the brand partnered with theRHONYstar to make her an ambassador for the product.

L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Midnight Creamhas many benefits, including the type of deep moisture that leaves skin looking radiant and glowy.

My skin feels renewed and hydrated after using the anti-aging night cream before bed, and it looks brighter when I use it in the morning. When my skin looks hydrated and glowy, my complexion is more even, and my hyperpigmentation looks less pronounced.

The moisturizer layers well under makeup without pilling and it adds a softness that makes me forget that my skin ever felt rough, textured, and dry.

Absolutely. This potent little cream is proof thatyou don’t need to spend a lot of money to have a luxury skincare experience.

I don’t have wrinkles and I haven’t experienced any skin sagging, so I can’t attest to how effective the cream addresses those concerns, but with3,500 five-star ratingson the brand’s website,4,250 five-star ratings on Target, and more than700 jars bought in the past monthon Amazon, I feel confident saying that it’s working its firming magic on someone (and smoothing a wrinkle here and there).

What I do experience is dullness and sallowness, and I see how Midnight Cream infuses my complexion with a brightness and glow when I’m using it consistently. And yet, it never feels greasy and slick over the course of the day.

I’m just glad it comes in a jar and not a pump so that I can get every single drop out of it without needing to cut the bottle (don’t judge me). I too hit pan on this product, and I prefer not to injure my knuckles for that last drop. Though if we’re being honest, I would if I had to.
