Have you applied to be part of the L’Oreal Consumer Panel yet? Well, if not, this is another great survey company that you can sign up for. If you qualify, you will receive around 2 surveys per month that are usually focused on skin care or cosmetics. When you complete a certain number of the informational surveys they mail you a full size bottle of a high end skincare and/or makeup products.

And if you’re a little skeptical, check out the picture and email I received from reader, Nancy:


A while back there was a post to participate in L’Oreal’s consumer testing website. I joined and have been diligently filing out every single survey for a long time. I never get chosen. I was about to give up and deactivate my account when I received the attached in the mail today. Its a Thank you gift for continued participation. Kiehl’s from what I know is not a cheap brand. If you post about them again, tell other readers not to give up 🙂

Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us, Nancy! And if you are currently a L’Oreal Consumer Panel member, I’d love to hear your feedback on this program.

    I’ve been filling out any survey L’Oreal consumer testing sends me for about 6 months. I was sent 2 lip balms to test and keep. I received a thank you gift similar to your as well. I will keep trying to qualify for more testing.

  2. Alea

    I’ve been part of their testing panel for probably a year and like Nancy – I never qualify either. No gifts for them, but that is really nice she got a mail surprise 🙂

    • Amber

      Me either 🙁

    • kelly

      Same – over a year and never qualified. I’ve been on the edge of cancelling, but it’s such a non-investment for something… maybe… someday?

    • MegGal

      ditto

    • Patti

      I have not qualified for any of the product testing and thought maybe it was my age 40 plus – lol. The last survey I did was different at the end. Even though I did not qualify, there was a page to print out with the survey number. Once you had reached a certain number of rejections, then you would input the number associated with that particular survey.

      As usual, I printed it out…but can’t find it in my stack of savings and coupons. Anyone else know what I’m talking about

  3. Liz

    I also signed up, and got a welcome gift. But in 6 months, I still haven’t qualified for a survey. Sort of glad i’m not the only one, I thought it was just me.

    • mackyjane

      I signed up up 2 months ago and never received a welcome gift, and have only filled out 3 surveys…none that I qualified for either. I’d love to try out different products, just guess I’ll keep biding my time.

      • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

        I received a gift for filling out 4 surveys and it was a big bottle of Kiehls lotion. I never qualify either but the surveys are so short it was worth it for the lotion 🙂

  4. Maggs

    I have been a member for a loooong. I qualified for one program – and the gifts that came for that were worth it. So, keep filling out those surveys!

  5. All4Savings

    thanks to nancy, i was about to deactivate my account too!! I’ve stopped taking their surveys..

  6. Jennifer B

    I have qualified a few times, most recently I tested a product a few weeks ago. They send you a full size product in the mail every (4) informative surveys (not qualifying for a study surveys) that you complete. I have received at least 2 products for doing surveys, and they were both expensive products.

  7. lmwynn

    I have been a member for about a year now and have never been chosen for any programs and never received any gifts. But I will keep filling out the surveys!

  8. Leslie

    This is promising. I was considering deactivating my account too.

  9. Trish

    I just finished a trial for them. It was for foundation. It only ended a week ago but I still have no idea about compensation. There was no mention of any and they still haven’t even contacted me thanking me for the surveys or anything. If anything changes, I’ll let you know…

  10. Janet

    I check the site every day and have never qualified for a study. I’ve never received a survey to fill out either. Guess I’ll hang in there a little longer.

  11. megan

    I love getting surprises in the mail, if there’s even the slightest chance I might qualify im all in! 🙂
    THANKS COLLIN!

  12. Christie

    Done 2 studies. Great participation gifts, full size of name brand products.

  13. Alla

    I would like to ask something totall off topic because I don’t know where to get answers for this. I was looking for an answer on rite aid site and on your FAQ and 101’s but still did not find an answer. I watched all the September & October videoperks and had them in my rewards list untill the november ones came and now I only see October rewards. Are the September ones gone, I printed few of them but not all. I thought they will be there till November.
    One more question. The Mitchum deodorant single check rebate starts today but if I purchased it yesterday and submitted it, would I still qualify for the SCR? Thank you in advance. I really appreciate your help and answers Collin and the help of my fellow couponers.

    • Collin

      Hi Alla!

      The September Video Values were only available to print through October 22nd so they would have automatically been deleted from your account on that date.

      In terms of the Mitchum SCR, you would need to purchase the item beginning today in order to take advantage of the rebate offer. Hope this helps! 😀

      • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

        Thank you, Collin. Actually I already purchased mitchum yesterday with kerasal foot cream and submitted my SCR so they accepted the Kerasal one but the mitchum does not show, so probably I did not qualify. It’s ok though, because it was free anyways. I’ll take my husband today with me to do it on his card and submit it on his account. Just wanted to share with you one more free thing I was gonna purchase today. Garnier Fructis shampoo is $2.50 at our RA and you can submit $2.00 SRC starting today. So here is the deal
        Garnier Anti Dandruff Shampoo $2.50 it’s on sale till Oct 29th
        Use 2 $1.00/1 Garnier Fructis Shampoo or Conditioner or Treatment RP 9/18 and use $1.00/2 Garnier Fructis Anti dandruff shampoo November adperk.com Pay $2.00 and submit for $2.00 SCR
        2 Free Shampoo. Wohoo 🙂

        • Renny

          Thanks! LOVE free shampoo!!

  14. mamaofblessings

    Just filled out survey. Worth a shot.

    Thanks!

  15. Shellie

    I was a member for a long time- never qualifying until about a month ago I qualifed to test Lipstick. I got 2 full tubes of lipstick that I had to try one each week and then fill out short surveys on line. At conclussion I got to keep both lipsticks plus they sent me a full size Lacome mascara(oscillation intensity)-$34 value on Lacome’s website!

    • megan

      thats awesome!! sounds like a great deal to me!

      • Mandy

        I did that same test and got the mascara too. I usually LOVE all beauty products but I DO NOT love that mascara….it is really clumpy! But it was free so I am not complaining, just wouldn’t buy more!! 🙂

  16. E

    I gave up on L’Oreal’s consumer panel. I kept filling out surveys with no reward ever coming. So I felt like it wasn’t worth my time to continue.

  17. Rachel

    Just filled out survey info. I’ll have to see what happens! Thank you!

    • Melissa

      i did the same about 20 minutes ago and still havent received an email or phone call from them im hopin it just takes a lil time to process

      • Rachel

        I was wondering as well. It didn’t specify when they would send an e-mail. I guess we will have to wait & see! 🙂

      • mackyjane

        When I signed up about 2 months ago, it took a while before I received an email. About a week after I signed up the email I got gave my my “username” (a number) and my pin. And since then I’ve only received 2 other emails letting me know about product testing that I needed to take a survey for to see if I qualify…which I have not. I usually just check the site daily to see if any new surveys have popped up. Hopefully you’ll get an email in the next few days. Good luck!

  18. Rachel Jokela

    I had been a part of the testing group for awhile and then just last month I qualified for a lipstick survey and got to keep 2 tubes of lipstick and then my gift for participating was a Lancome mascara! Those things are like $22! I was so excited!

  19. kevin

    I have been a member for a year. Never did any of the testing and only qualified for some surveys but have gotten 2 full sized products. One was kiehl’s the other was a yves sant lurent deodorant. Both are great products.

  20. Ella

    I filled out every single one but never qualified, except one time but they never send me anything in mail to test 🙁

  21. Kelly

    I’ve been on the panel for a few months. I always do the surveys RIGHT after they send them out but I’ve been chosen to do two product testings so far. The first one was for a night cream that was actually pretty awesome stuff that you get to keep AND they also send you compensation which my first compensation was a firming face cream that retails for $110 !!! My second product to test was mascara, they sent me two different tubes and had to wear each one for a week and compare (both were awesome!) and compensation was a Lancome exofilator which retails for $25. I LOVE being a member of this panel and the products are nice that you get to test and better yet the compensation you get. I’m not sure if I qualify more since I respond to the surveys right away or if I’m just lucky but I say don’t give up because it’s an awesome company!

  22. Breanna

    I’ve been a part of this group for over a year and never received a survey but like Nancy I got a Lancome moisturizer lotion in the mail. I looked up the price of the lotion and its like $80 retail price! I wasn’t even expecting it at all but it was nice of them to send me somthing. 😉

  23. Barb J

    I have been with them for 8 months and never qualified for anything.

  24. Roxy

    I haven’t completed too many surveys, but still they sent me a Kiehl’s eye cream priced at $22 and I had to test some foundation if I remember well.

    And their surveys are usually pretty short

  25. Lynn G.

    I have a Question for all of the participents. I am quessing that you are all about 25 to 40 in the age range, yes? Your answers would be appreciated I am just wondering if an old bat would have a chance with this survey!

    • Diane

      I’m 52, and I’ve been doing the surveys for about a year. I’ve only received one product, but it was an expensive facial scrub that I really liked.

  26. Vicki

    I have been a panelist for L’oreal for about a year now. Like you said, I get about 2 surveys a month and I rarely qualify. For the few surveys, I did complete I recieved a Kiehl’s eye cream, facial scrub, moisturizer, and a full size L’oreal mascara so I honestly can’t complain.

  27. Laura

    I actually got a base primer for Lascome, for doing 5 surveys was very happy that I finally get an insentive for answering a few questions!

  28. Adelia Hammock

    I haven’t tested for L’Oreal but have other companies and am looking forward to qualifying for L’Oreal. It’s feels great to give input and feel you do have a say in developing quality products.

  29. kellyh

    I never qualify for any of their surveys either and never got a welcome gift. I emailed them at some point about it and the response was just “keep trying”. Not worth the time!

  30. brittany

    Every once in a while i qualify for the surveys. A few weeks ago, i received a Lancome vibrating mascara as a gift for one of surveys. Totally worth it!

  31. shoplessjess

    I qualified once a few months ago after being a member for more than two years. I have gotten a Lancome Juicy Tube from reaching 5 informative surverys, a face scrub study (made my skin feel nice!), a Lancome face scrub thank you gift after finishing the study, and recently, a Lancome antiaging product (can’t remember what it was) for reaching 5 surveys again. That is more stuff than I would have expected, but it seems like they have surveys open often, so keep trying!

  32. Breanna

    Hi Lynn,

    They take all ages….some of the surveys I took were probably because I wasn’t old enough or because the products were for certain age groups. I’m 32 so I think personally you should sign up because the age range is different for every product. Hope that helps you! 😉

  33. Rebecca

    I got this product in the mail too! It is awesome!

  34. Loreina

    I’ve never received anything. No welcome or emails or anything. When I read this post, I decided to sign up again because perhaps I didn’t register after all and just THOUGHT I was a member all this time. Nope, I just haven’t gotten anything. They say I’m already in their system. I’ll keep being patient!

  35. April M.

    I have been a member for over a year and I am 43. I just received Lancome’s Primer for filling out 5 info surveys. I have done quite a few product trials and love the program. They always send such great compensation items.

  36. Lisa

    I NEVER qualify for anything with them. I was wondering what the trick was. And I never got anything in the mail from them either. But I guess I will keep trying

  37. Jana

    I’ve been a member for about a year and a half and have never qualified for a home survey but I did receive a full size Keihls shaving cream once as a thank you for doing an online survey.

  38. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I live about 10 minutes away from the testing site and I have yet to qualify!!!

  39. stylngurl

    I am a member and I don’t qualify for many surveys. But the one I did qualify for I was reimbursed with a full size Lancome face scrub… Whoo Hoo…

  40. coupongangsta

    I received a huge bottle of lotion 3 days ago!! with a thank you note as well. I forgot to send you a pick but it is some nice lotion. I was surprised!

  41. MOTHERRAIFF

    I have never qualified for a product use, but last week I did receive a 1.7 fl oz bottle of Lancome Renergie anti-wrinkle firming lotion along with a Thank you letter. Sells on their website for 80.00. I have received Kiehls products in the past.

  42. Stephanie

    I’ve been a member for about a year, and sometimes I don’t receive emails about surveys, but they have them when I log into their site.
    Try logging in every day.
    I’ve only done 1 product test for them before (lip balms, plus a free Lancome face scrub as my participation gift), but I think it’s worth my time to remain a member. Surveys are always really short, and if I don’t qualify, then I’ve only spent 30 seconds of my day.

  43. Ashley

    Does anyone know how to change your contact info on this survey site? I can’t find it anywhere and I’ve moved so if they ever do send me anything I won’t get it.

    • Jill

      I was looking at the original e-mail they sent me and because I needed to know the same thing and it said to contact them at consumertesting@rd.us.loreal.com or call their toll free number 1-888-866-4953 if your contact information has changed.

  44. Savannah

    Anyone know about how long it takes to get the welcome email with your log-in information? I signed up a couple of hours ago and still haven’t received anything. Maybe it’s just slow from so many people signing up. I’ll be patient and hope that I get the email eventually, would love to be a part of this website.

    • Laura

      I haven’t received it either.

  45. Jill

    Don’t bother signing up if your pregnant or nursing because they always ask and it disqualifies you. 🙁

  46. diane

    Over a year ago I received a Vichy facial wash which retails at $20 with a thank you note.

  47. judydauteuil

    just signed up today. Sounds like there have been alot of good results. It’s worth a try!

  48. Priscilla

    I qualified for a lipstick etsy and was sent two lipsticks to test, at the end of the study they sent me the lancome vibrating mascara ( retail $34) as a gift 🙂

  49. Kristie

    I was on the panel for a while before I was chosen. I felt like I was wasting my time every time I took one of those surveys. Then, out of blue one day it said I was chosen to participate in a moisturizer study. I used the moisturizer for a week and then I answered some questions online. After the study was over, I received a very nice moisturizer in the mail. I looked it up online because I never heard of the brand. It was $125 retail price. I felt like I won the lottery. This country girl only knows about the high class Olay products! ;o) Hang in there for those of you who have yet to be chosen. Your day will come. Also, for those who are pregnant or nursing, you won’t be doing that forever so keep trying!

  50. siwing

    signed up for this when you posted about it but i never qualify.. i think because i am nursing/pregnant. lol.. all hope is not lost after seeing this post
