Comment on Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum, Concentrated Amino-Peptide Complex, 1.7-Fluid Ounce by D

I have tried so many products to just be totally disappointed. But this one does work. The lines under my eys are my problem area and this has helped to make them much less noticeable..

Manufactures take note– I am tired of the false claims and when I find something that actually works I will buy it. Most I have tried before do not work and should not be advertised as such.

This is the only moisturizer I can use on my sensitive skin. It actually makes my rosacea better-redness=gone, dry flakey skin=gone, burning=gone. Just wish they made bigger bottles.

I used this product and love it. When my cousin told me that some of olay products contains ingredients that are deemed as “cancer causing in animal” and organ toxicity etc…. according to skin deep web site. I google those ingredients and found that four ingredients cyclopentasiloxane(first ingredient), Ethyparaben, propylparaben and methylparaben(actually banned in Europe to be used in skin product) are the bad ingredient. I am now totally torned as I love it on my skin and concerned that it might be the causes for my fribromygia. So, I hope Olay will remove these ingredients and produce some product that are green and non-toxic.

After one month of daily use, here is my verdict: This stuff works. It's not magic, it's not a miracle, it doesn't transform every wrinkle and age spot. But it makes your skin look BETTER than before, which is all we can really hope for, isn't it?

I've noticed a somewhat dramatic change in the fine lines around my eyes (no, I don't use a separate eye cream). They are smoother and much less noticeable. The few age spots I've developed seem to be lighter. Overall, looking at my face in the mirror now, I sometimes have to do a double-take because my skin looks so much better and brighter. The permanent dark circles under my eyes are even lighter.

I have acne prone skin and I was nervous about using a new moisturizer, but quickly found that my skin actually CLEARED UP while using this product. Likely, it was due to my regimented focus on skin care in general, but this did NOT contribute to any breakouts at all.

This is one product I can see myself using for a very long time. Rating: 5 / 5

I am 39 years old and have very sensitive skin, and because of that I had been using fragrance-free products by Clinique. I always thought I looked pretty young until I saw a picture of myself at 29. My skin was so much better looking! After doing some research I decided to give this a try based upon the favorable reviews, low cost and the fact that it's fragrance free. (Perfumed lotions make me sneeze).

After one use, I noticed a few things. My skin did tingle slightly for a couple of hours, but it wasn't painful; just mildly annoying. But there was no rash or irritation. My cheeks looked a bit red, however it appeared more like a natural tint. The second thing I noticed is that my skin almost immediately looked better! I know that sounds crazy. I also didn't need to put on any blush because of the tint I mentioned. As the day wore on, the tingling went away. (I also started using Neutrogena Light Night Cream for a moisturizer- it's fragrance-free, and doesn't have sunscreen which I don't need every day.)

I applied it the next morning again and noticed the same things. I decided to try it every other day and have to say I REALLY notice a difference! My skin looks almost as good as my pic from ten years ago.

I think the minor discomfort I mentioned is due to my sensitivity to most products, but because I am so pleased with the results I'm sticking with it.

Update: After using this for a week I no longer have any sensitivity and my skin is incredibly soft and luminous! I would change this to five stars but I am unable to edit that portion. Rating: 4 / 5

Comment on Lavender Face and Body Mist – Soothes and Tones Sensitive Skin. 100% Natural. Pure Anti-inflammatory Aromatherapy for a Rejuvenated Complexion. by Catherine A. Miller

This product is a wonderful face and body mist. I have acne prone skin, so I have to be careful what products I use on my face. This product is wonderful! It smells great, and is very light and refreshing. I use it as a finishing spray, after I have applied my mineral make-up, and I use it any time I need a refreshing mist. I highly recommend this product for any one wanting a soothing, face and body spray.

Comment on Olay Professional Pro-X Anti-Aging Starter Kit by Lots Less Clutter

One thing I would NEVER skimp on is my moisturizer. I’ve been an Estee Lauder girl for years. I tried this kit and have been amazed at what it has done for my face. I am almost 60 years old. The starter kit lasted for 2 months for me. I use it twice a day. The skin around my eyes is so tight compared to what it was that it’s hard to believe. The face creams have made a difference in the look and feel of my skin too. This kit, combined with the Regenerist Sculpting Cream for the jaw line only, have made me an Olay convert!! Amazon has the best price around. Order it and give it a try. You won’t be sorry!!! If you don’t like it for some reason, Olay will refund your money as long as you’ve used it for 30 days. I don’t normally write reviews, but on this one I had to pass it along. Amazing stuff and reasonably priced.

Background- I am 38 and have been told I look good for my age. I have olive and oily skin but not prone to breakouts. I do have some discoloration from many years out on the beach and have some fine lines around my eyes. I got Botox and IPL treatements a few years ago before my wedding and I loved the results however I cannot afford to do that on a regular basis and I don’t want to end up with a freeze face as I call it. Too much Botox is not a good thing.

Fast Forward- The effects of my IPL and Botox treatments are long gone. I have tried many lines of beauty products, studied ingredients, etc. When I heard about Pro X, I decided to try it. For the price, it’s really not bad considering what I have paid for dept. store brands. I had a $5 coupon and a $25 rebate so it was a $31 investment.

I have been using the “starter kit” for just about a month now and this is what I have observed:

*Tightening of skin around eyes/crowsfeet- yes, my neighbor asked my husband if I had got shot up with Botox! 2 other friends of mine wanted to know what I was using on my skin. They said I look refreshed.

*My skin is more even toned and pores appear smaller- I say “appear” because your pores can’t shrink and don’t buy anything that says it will SHRINK pores. Also, my skin has better clarity and it’s more even toned. This product does not claim to cure hyperpigmentation but it really has improved mine!

*My skin is moisturized, glows- I have oily skin and these products are not oily at all. Also, I have psoriasis so fragrance is a NO NO! I don’t need a break out on my face. I also like the fact that the product seems to absorb rather than SIT on the surface of my skin. It just feels good on my skin!

All and all, I think this product, especially the eye cream and night cream are exceptional! The daytime moisturizer is great but I prefer a tinted moisturizer (my preference- MD Skincare Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 20, worth every penny! ).

I don’t use Olay cleansers as I prefer Cetaphil, Witch Hazel and Baking Soda (YEP) for exfoliation. My experience with cleansers is simple is better. Also I believe their cleanser have fragrance.

I will continue to use Olay Pro X religiously! Everyone will have different results of course but my experience has been nothing short of exceptional and NO MORE NEEDLES! It’s the first time I have written a product review and this one I felt was worth sharing.

My skin condition is towards the dry and sensitive side.

This is a product that requires some time to see a more clear result. But, after my first few uses, I can say that I enjoy it very much, no less than the expensive products from Lancome, Lamer, or Estee Lauder.

As soon as you apply any of the three products on your skin, you can feel immediate hydration that lasts for hours. However, it does not make you feel greasy or oily. Instead, it feels silky and soft. One thing I'd like to specially mention about the SPF day lotion is that it doesn't make my skin feel remarkably stingy like the other SPF products that I've used. It is a little bit, but very subtle. Again, my skin is on the sensitive side. It does not affect other people the same way. Most people might not even feel it.

I will continue to use it and update everyone on my observation. For a week of use now, I do enjoy the products very much. My 4-star rating comes from not knowing its full effect at this point.

***January 15, 2009***

I will continue to say that I enjoy the products and all of the above stay true.

After I apply the cream, it does what Olay has claimed, which is to moisturize my skin and help stay smooth and hydrated for hours to come. It does not feel greasy or uncomfortable at all. It is a lot like Lancome's many products. The only difference is that Lancome's smell is very strong and floral, which is partly what makes it cost so much.

The only suggestion I will make is that it would be quite nice if it were easier to be spread out on the face with a bit of fragrant smell that would not hurt.

Good skin does come from many factors, food intake, weather, hormones, genetics, chemical procedure, etc. Products as this do not reduce wrinkles or take away any permanent damanges/changes. That being said, good products do help skin stay hydrated, feel smooth and good, as well as be protected from direct sunlight.

In conclusion, I believe these products are as good as advertised. Rating: 4 / 5

I got my Olay Pro-X Anti-Aging Starter Protocol products a couple weeks ago and I've been using them morning and night. In the morning I use the Eye Restoration Complex and the Age Repair Lotion with SPF 30. The eye cream is silky and smooth. The age repair lotion hydrates skin and protects it from the sun and also helps to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles.

In the evening I apply the Eye Restoration Complex again and this seems to banish those dark circles, puffiness and crow's feet. And a plus, it reduces excess under-eye fluids. My last step at night is to apply the Wrinkle Smoothing Cream (which is also silky and smooth). It smoothes uneven textures with moisture, combating those fine lines and wrinkles.

Although I've only been using the Pro-X Anti-Aging Starter Protocol products for a couple weeks I already feel a difference on my face. It's smoother and I think I have a nice glow. I've used many other Olay products in the past and loved them all, but these, for me at least, are the best so far. You can't beat silky and smooth, you really can't. Rating: 5 / 5
