Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Face Cream Review

This is my new favourite product. Comes in a generous sized container, just a small amount goes a long way. Pricing online was reasonable. I use it before bed and it doesn’t leave your face greasy and absorbs fast. Smell is subtle and didn’t have a particular scent. I’ve been using it daily for 2 weeks and my skin already feels smoother and moisturised, I look forward to what it will be like after consistent use, hoping it will improve the early stages of wrinkles but if course only time will tell. I will be recommending this product to anyone in the early stages of skin ageing, and will be purchasing it for myself.

I used this cream in conjunction with the Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence. The packaging is a gorgeous red with a pretty silver lid. I felt so grown up having 2 matching products sitting on my bathroom vanity. Because I used this product in conjunction with the Pre Essence I cant say exactly which product gave me the amazing results but I am sure this cream had something to do with it! I applied the cream morning and night after the Pre Essence. I found the texture of the cream really different. It is a very dense cream, but then glides on smoothly onto my skin, it almost "melts" into it. Leaving make up ready skin. No greasy after feel. Immediately the cream improved the texture of my skin. I have been using the product twice a day for a month and the results have been amazing. The most noticeable change is the my skin looks so much clearer and brighter. It looks and feels firmer. I had some visible pores around my nose,and they have been reduced. I dont have any deep wrinkles, but I do have some visible wrinkles on my forehead, I swear they have smoothed out. So combined with the great visible results and the value for money (I've only used about a third of the jar) I would definitely recommend this product.

I am a routine kinda girl – I like my skincare systems or cleanse, tone, moisturise set up sort of thing – I cannot just cleanse or use soap. The night cream I was using, I was using to use up.. I didn’t actually feel like it was doing anything for me so my skin was at a great blank canvas to see if this actually made a difference.

And it did. For a start my pores shrunk.

But let’s start with the basics.

Prettily packaged in a red box is a lovely red pottle with silver lid encasing a creamy white cream inside.

You don’t need to use a lot as a little pea sized portion goes a long way. I think this will last me longer than the pre-essence… but I guess it depends how you use it. It’s a really light non-greasy formula that feels so silky and smooth. It glides over the skin and leaves you feeling hydrated.

With a light floral scent that isn’t too perfumed this cream delivers a moisture boost that lasts. The following morning my skin didn’t feel dry.

I found it did apply best to washed/cleansed skin – at night after my cleanse in the shower and morning after a cleanse and rinse. It’s very hard to tell individually the effect this is having as I was testing as a duo. I applied this straight after the application of the pre-essence. The pre-essence worked its own magic making my skin feel firmer but then this cream comes into action with its amazing smoothing power and hydration.

It’s recommended that you apply twice a day so it had to sit under my makeup. 100% it works like a primer – creating a nice base that made makeup easy to apply. It stays put and doesn’t let makeup slide off either like some other moisturisers/sunscreens tend to do.

I am quite realistic I don’t expect my wrinkles to disappear – BUT I feel this would be doing a great job to slow the aging process/protect from further damage while using. The ingredients list have some antioxidants listed which I always look for that are well known for its anti-aging properties.

I did find it hard to tell if it visibly reduced my wrinkles. But it did noticeably reduce my pores. It increased the moisture to my skin, as well as smoothing and firming it so I feel like it was working but yes wrinkle wise it was very hard to tell.

I absolutely love Oil of Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Face Cream. It is surely the BEST cream ever! It is like a miracle in a jar. It makes my skin feel amazing. I love how my skin feels young again when I use this wonderful miracle cream.

This product comes in a red tub. I prefer products to come in a pump bottle as I don't like dipping my fingers in the cream and getting product under my nails. You do not need to use a lot of product as a little goes a long way. I applied it to my face, neck and décolletage. It is quite thick but spreads easily. It didn't absorb into my skin and left it feeling quite oily and sticky. I don't have time to wait an hour before applying my foundation so found my foundation was diluted and didn't give as good coverage as it normally does. I have used this product for 3 weeks but my skin broke out on my T section after a week of use. (Am 43 years old with fine lines, so thought this product would be ideal). Am going to discontinue using this product as it has not delivered on it's promises.

I've been using this moisturiser every morning and night for the past couple of weeks, and I'm definitely starting to see an improvement in the overall appearance of my skin. I don't have as much texture as I used to, and my skin looks so healthy and hydrated all day. It is quite a dense cream, but it is easy to spread out over my skin and it absorbs well. I apply a thicker layer at night, and when I wake up in the morning I can still feel it on my face and my skin looks plump and radiant. It has a fairly strong fragrance which could potentially be irritating to some people's skin, but I didn't have any issues there. I actually really like the scent, it reminds me of a fancy shampoo (it's the first thing I thought when I first opened it!) and my partner says he likes how my face smells when I apply it. I havent noticed any reduction in my fine lines, but I am hoping that I will start seeing a difference with continued use. I would repurchase this one!

It's been many years since I have used any Olay products so I was very excited to try this moisturiser and see how their products have developed over that time.

The packaging style and design is in line with the type of skin care brands Olay is comparable to. One thing I did not like so much is the size of the outer box. It is quite wide and twice the height of the actual product, so it evoked a disappointed reaction as the actual product looked so much smaller in comparison when I opened it. It even prompted me to check the product was actually 50g as it looked so small compared to the box!

The product claims the following results: Firms, plumps and reduces wrinkles Day 1 - Visibly reduces pores, improves texture and radiance Day 14 - Noticeably firmer skin Day 28 - Visibly reduces lines and wrinkles It is also formulated without Sulphates, Petrolatum, Phthalates or Mineral Oils, so I was very keen to try it out.

Upon my first application of the product I found it to be a firm textured and smooth cream. As per the directions, only a small amount is required and best applied to the face after warming it between your fingertips, for an even application. It glides on very well and has a lovely smooth texture. It has a pleasant scent, slightly perfumed but not too heavy or overwhelming. I find the cream itself to be of a medium to light, water based type consistency. It would be best suited to those that have a normal to dry skin type, it feels quite hydrating.

My favourite thing about this product is how it pretty much - immediately after application, visibly reduced the appearance of my pores and improved my skin texture. Making it a fantastic, smooth and matte base for my make up application. It absorbs well and is not oily at all. A little goes a long way with this cream so no need to apply very much at all. With the 50g size I would estimate this cream would last at least 3 months or more with a daily application.

I find the cream to be very refreshing on my skin. After using the product every day I do feel my skin is very refreshed and the texture and radiance has certainly improved. By visibly reducing my pores it also has the effect of visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I can't say I have noticed my skin feeling any firmer since using the product but the appearance and texture of my skin certainly has certainly improved.

I would recommend using this product along with the rest of the Olay Regenerist range (night cream, face serum and eye serum) to get the best results of the product range working in harmony together. Overall a very nice, light, fresh feeling day cream which does deliver noticeable results and visibly improves skin texture.

I really liked this cream - once I got passed the first week. It's very rich, it's very thick. Some may say its heavy.

My skin is usually very clear, slightly dry, but mostly just normal, ageing skin. I experienced minor breakouts and whiteheads during the first week. They cleared quickly, but none the less, there was a purge.

I persevered because I take trial teams very seriously and I'm glad I did, it's actually a really great cream. In summer I'll likely switch to using it as a night cream only as it is incredibly rich, but I think if you have dehydrated skin or are prone to dry patches you'll really find this beneficial.

I wish brands would stop with the pottle use, but to be fair this is a thick product, a pump wouldn't work. A tube maybe? Anything to stop the ole 'fingers in the pot' problem.

Will I look 10 years younger in 4 weeks? Hmmmm, well if not looking lizardy and dry is the same as 10 years younger; then yes, yes I will!

This face moisturiser is so lightweight and hydrating that it makes it a pleasure to wear. Really nice under foundation. Have been using every day for weeks and can see skin is more hydrated and refreshed looking. I would definately buy in the future.
