The Advertising Standards Authority says the retouched images were exaggerated and breached its code of conduct.
L’Oreal admits that for the images it did “lighten the skin, clean up make-up, reduce dark shadows and shading around the eyes, smooth the lips and darken the eyebrows“.
But other than that, the stuff is absolutely great and they back it 100% to do the job. As such the firm’s “anti-ageing” foundation is still called anti-ageing foundation – because that is exactly what it is.
