Can we presume that you have tried this product to have formed an opinion ?
L'Oreal are certainly not unique in their advertising approach, but are certainly successful. If nothing else they've got you spreading their message to a wider audience.
Just a quick dig in the memory reminds me of triple action window cleaner, razor blades, deodorant and toothbrushes.

sorry, did i not make myself clear.. the Q. is not about the product, [that i haven't tried] it is about dumbing down, i.e. treating us like we're stupid. Excellence cream? cor, you'd need that.. spread it around, i admire their cheek, or i despair of people for taking this daily demeaning drivel and Not complaining, they'll be telling us next that it's got exotic botanicals in it and dihydogen monoxide (water).

Perhaps you are missing the point of advertising and marketing. How many products are named "bog standard" ?

[answerbok]

toilet duck, andrex, harpic, kleenex double velvet tissue..

[gilf]

Are these Extar Thick Toilet Duck, Super Soft Andrex, double action Harpic and Man Size superstrong Kleenex.

[answerbok]

If it is any consolation, I know exactly what you mean! I am sick of advertising assuming that we consumers are dense. I recently complained to a large supermarket about their latest campaign and I don't think I was alone as the advert has been pulled since. After all, strawberries imported from the USA can't possibly reach the store within a day of leaving the field.....can they???

Lighten up folks. There's a whole world full of people who can't get enough advertisers cr@p. You only have to look at this sites Adverts NEW category on a daily basis.
You should treat it as you would an AB question or answer that you don't like. Just ignore it.
That, of course, won't make it any better or even go away, but it will leave it for all those people who get a high from adverts.

Are you trying to say that you have never purchased any of theses advertised products? Adverts are for 'advertising' a certain product to make money. If there were no adverts there would be no knowledge of the products on sale.

[answerbok]

correct, greedyfly.. if they need to advertise it, you don't need it.. You will know about the products you do need, by word of mouth.. :-)
