Product Review: Olay Regenerist Deep Hydration Regenerating Cream
According to the Olay website at http://www.olay.com, Olay Regenerist Deep Hydration Regenerating Cream will intensely hydrate and beautifully regenerate your skin's appearance. The website goes on to say "Olay Regenerist Deep Hydration Regenerating Cream uses our exclusive amino-peptide complex, which combines vitamin E, pro-vitamin B5 and Olay moisture in a rich, non-greasy formula. It visibly regenerates skin's appearance and intensely hydreates dry skin. The unique dispensing pump delivers a fresh, clean application every use. Suitable for everyday use for normal, dry and combination skin. The results? Younger looking skin without drastic measures. Instantly the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is softened and skin's texture is improved. Over time your skin's appearance will be beautifully regenerated. Use alone or create your own regimen with other Regenerist skin care products".
I've never been one to spend a lot of money on the higher priced skin care items such as Lancome, Clinique, Estee Lauder, etc. But I had heard some good things about Regenerist products, and their website certainly makes the product sound like a dream come true, so I decided to splurge and spend my hard earned $18 and give this product a try.
On the back of the bottle, it says "Olay Renegerist doubles skin's surface cell regeneration rate vs. untreated skin, for a younger looking skin without drastic measures".
Directions for use on the back of the bottle: Pull overcap. Peel protective seal off top of package. Gently push down on top of package to dispense product from center of package. Wipe product with fingertips and smooth evenly over face and neck. Use one of twice daily, alone or under make-up.
Here are my pros and cons on the product.
Pros:
- The cream is a nice peachy pink color, pleasing to the eye.
- I love the silky creamy texture of the cream.
- After using for 1 week, my face is incredibly soft and silky to the touch.
- After using for 2 weeks, the blotchy red areas on my skin are starting to even out.
- After using for 3 weeks, some of the fine lines around my mouth and eyes are fading.
- After using for 1 month, people are telling me that my skin looks different and "glowing".
- After using for 2 months, my age spots are fading.
Cons:
- The product comes in a 1.7 oz container but the black retail box it comes in makes the bottle look much bigger than the actual size of the bottle, so I was a bit disappointed in that.
- It has a light scent, which I didn't really like. I personally do not like scent in my face cream - when you smear something directly under your nose you tend to smell it all day long.
- My face feels sticky for about an hour until the cream had soaked in.
- There is no SPF protection for daytime.
I have to say for $18 this product is worth the cost and I recommend it to others who are looking for a good product without spending a ton of money.

Post a CommentI HAVE BEEN GETTING CHEMICAL PEELS AT A PLASTIC SURGEON FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS.I FOUND THE OLAY REGENERIST MICRO SCULPTING CREAM ON SALE.I HAVE USED IT DAILY FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS NOW.MY SKIN LOOKS WONDERFUL,IT KEEPS THE OLD SKIN SLUFFED OFF.I HAVEN'T HAD CHEMICAL PEEL SINCE I STARTED USING THIS PRODUCT. I HAVEN'T NEEDED ONE. THIS IS REALLY A GOOD PRODUCT AND IS ENDORCED BY THE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING SEAL.
HAD THE WORST EXPERIENCE ATTEMPTING TO USE REGENERIST IN 3.4 OZ BOTTLE. THE PACKAGING USED MAY BE GOOD FOR SHIPPING AND DISPLAYING MAY WORK FOR OLAY BUT NOT FOR THE END USER. I HAD TO ASK MY HUSBAND TO SEE IF HE HAD ANYMORE LUCK TO EXTRICATE THE PRODUCT. FORTUNATELY HE PREVAILED. THIS IS ENOUGH TO MAKE ME SWITCH TO A COMPETITORS PRODUCT!
I absolutely love Olay products. I haven't tried this one yet, but after such a wonderful review, I sure won't mind shelling out $20+ (probably more here in Canada LOL). You did a super job on this review :)
Great review, thanks a lot for sharing. I'm going to try it out!
i bought olay total effects, and liked the way my skin would feel after using--however, when it was gone--i used a hammer to see if there was any left--there was, lots--you might rethink the package--money is tight, i don't like to toss away cream i can't get to. thank you b. lewis
What is the difference in Active Hydrating Cream and Moisturizer? Should you use both?
I like the way you clearly presented the pros and cons. Very helpful.
I have used Oil of Olay mositurizer since the age of 30. I will be 50 this year. I use this product twice a day have have not missed using it in 20 years. I am told by everyone that I meet how young I look when telling them that I have a 29 year old daughter they can not believe it. When I am out with my daughter or any place that we go and someone hears her refer to me as mama they look and will comment with surprise. I have great skin that is clear and radiant without wrinkles. I would like to say THANK YOU! for producing this product. I would love being featured in one of your commercials to promote your products.

Dear People:
I have just purchased (March 22,/08) your product 'Olay Warming Deep Purifying Cleanser", and although I do so far like this product for
cleansing, especially with the warming feature, I must tell you the container is very poor. When you sweeze out the cleanser the whole
tube collaspes' inward and doesn't re-take its shape no matter how you try to re-shape it back to its original shape. It is also very difficult
to get the cream out of the tube when its in this shape.
I do think you should do some more testing on this container and try to re-package this cleanser for easier use.
Thank you.
I remain. Anna Meihm Lopes (contact would be appreciated)
