Olay Age Defying Protective Renewal Lotion Review

Beta Hydroxy Complex

Alexandra Morgan
The most effective day time moisturizer will combine all of your skincare needs into one, limiting the need for several products. Olay's Age Defying Protective Renewal Lotion with Beta Hydroxy Complex and UVA/UVB SPF 15 Sunscreen is a cost-effective all-in-one product for daily wear under makeup.

I don't use Olay Age Defying Protective Renewal Lotion anymore because I'm now trying Olay Complete All Day UV Moisturizer UV Skin Shield, but rest assured, Olay Age Defying Protective Renewal Lotion is a fantastic moisturizer; one which I used for several years and loved.

Olay Age Defying Protective Renewal Lotion: Product Application, Performance and Benefits

Olay Age Defying Protective Renewal Lotion comes in a four fluid ounce bottle and smells kind of like perfumed baby powder, which seems to be the standard scent for Olay products.

Application:

As with all face moisturizers, this product should be applied after cleansing and toning the face and neck. I like to apply an initial thin layer of moisturizer to face and neck, allowing the product to set in for a few minutes, and then apply a second layer to fully prime the skin for makeup.

Tip: It's best to apply moisturizer to slightly wet skin; moisturizer sinks into the skin more easily and fully when it is damp, and requires less product.

As I said earlier, I don't use this product anymore because I'm trying a new Olay day time moisturizer, but I used Olay Age Defying Protective Renewal Lotion for several years with great results. My face showed the benefits of using an age defying beta hydroxy complex pretty quickly, and I'm sure you'll find it to be the same for you.

Benefits and Performance: Beta Hydroxy Complex Provides Exfoliating and Skin Cell Plumping:

What you'll most likely notice first after trying Olay Age Defying Protective Renewal Lotion is that fine lines and wrinkles diminish a bit; this is due to the beta hydroxy complex which exfoliates and plumps skin cells. You'll see results with or without makeup, but you will see a marked difference when wearing Olay Age Defying Protective Renewal Lotion underneath makeup. The lotion acts as a base primer for makeup; it leaves a fresh exfoliated surface of new skin cells and plumps up this new fresh layer of cells, helping to fill the crevices of minor lines and wrinkles. Further priming the skin, the lotion provides a layer between the skin and makeup, which prevents foundation and powder from soaking and collecting in fine lines and wrinkles. You see, when makeup gets inside lines and wrinkles, it makes these little skin imperfections seem deeper and more severe than they actually are; which of course, makes you look older.

Within moments, you'll see a younger you; albeit not a twenty year old you, but a you that looks fresh, rested, and healthy.

Oh, and don't forget that this little four fluid ounce bottle also has your sunscreen needs filled with SPF15 protection; no need to purchase and apply a sunscreen in addition to your moisturizer.

Try combining Olay Age Defying Protective Renewal Lotion with the Olay/Cover Girl age defying makeup line for more pronounced results.

Olay Age Defying Protective Renewal Lotion: Product Price and Availability

Prices drastically vary for Olay Age Defying Protective Renewal Lotion depending on whether store bought or purchased online and where from. I bought this product from CVS for around $10, but Target is showing the four ounce bottle online for $9.49 and Overstock shows it for $11.56.

I would check around for the best deal because Olay products are available practically everywhere, so you should be able to find a price that works for you.

Olay Age Defying Protective Renewal Lotion: Overall

I can't say enough good things about Olay Age Defying Protective Renewal Lotion; I give it four out of five stars and would recommend it for any woman.

My knowledge of Beta Hydroxy's skin exfoliating and plumping affects obtained from years of product use and reading on the topic of beauty, just one particular bit that remained in the mental storehouse reference library.

    Great review. I may try this next. I could use the exfoliating, and I need a little more "plumping" in my face since losing a significant amount of weight. Thanks!
