Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Face Cream Review

I have been using this product in conjunction with the Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence in the mornings and before bed for three weeks.

The product comes in a very posh looking red pottle - matching the pre-essence bottle. It is very fancy looking, but it has a silver lid that shows up my fingerprints (especially after using the cream), which irrationally annoys me! Whilst I like the glass over plastic, I do prefer using a bottle/tube over a jar/pottle for hygiene reasons.

The cream is quite thick, but very smooth to apply as it guides one easily. It absorbs well, especially when used with the pre-essence, and isn't greasy or oily. It has a pleasant generic cream smell. Because I am used to tubes or pump bottles, it took a bit of trial and error to work out how much I needed to apply.

It makes some big claims about what it can do - reduced appearance of lines and boosts hydration, skin feels smoother and brighter, noticeably firmer skin and skin elasticity is improved. It may be that I need to use it for longer than three weeks (they say it's by Day 28 that it reverses the appearance of up to 10 years of wrinkles) but I don't think the product lives up to all of those claims. But it did leave my skin feeling hydrated and smoother.

Because it has no sunscreen protection, it will probably become just a night cream for now.

First of all was impressed with the packaging ,I’m a sucker for being drawn to attractively packaged products . I’m referring to the shape of the bottle. .

The cream had a beautiful smell and felt smooth,rich and creamy ,I loved the velvety feeling on my skin and that it felt smooth and nourished immediately after appiplication . I had high hopes for this product ,but maybe it would best suit a younger skin ,as it just didn’t give me the results I had hoped , I had to use quite a lot of the product ,which wouldn’t make it very economical,my skin still feels somewhat dry and not really improved as such . So disappointing results for me .

I LOVED the Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Face Cream!!!

It makes your skin feel super soft and instantly moisturised but it doesn’t feel sticky or heavy on your skin. It feels very nourishing but also light at the same time. It is easy to apply as it just glides on and pretty much dries straight away and just feels amazing!!! It has a lovely subtle smell which is not overpowering and you don’t need a lot to get full coverage which makes it good value for money.

I really like the outside packaging but I don’t like the white disk that sits on top of the cream on the inside as it is very fiddly to get off. That is the only thing I don’t like though and it’s a pretty minor thing.

After using the Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Face Cream my skin definitely looks and feels smoother and softer. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

Opening the packet I LOVED the shape, color and feel of the packaging. It looked expensive and exuded luxury.

The cream itself, is a creamy off white and smells devine. A little goes a long way! I found the cream to be of a decent consistency, not watery and not too think. It spread over my skin beautifully.

However, After using it twice a day, morning and night as my go to moisturizer, I found no change in my skin other than how soft my skin was in the morning after applying it at night before bed.

When I applied it in the morning, I noticed a few hours later if I happened to touch my face that the cream was rubbing off. I would find flakes of the cream where ever I rubbed my face. I tried using less to see if the amount was an issue but still had the same problem. I also found my makeup (mac longwear pro and also the ordinary) separated when applied on top of the moisturizer.

I unfortunately found it to sting if it came in contact with my lips but this soon subsided after I wiped it clean with micellar water.

The Olay Regenerist Microscultping Cream has been a fantastic addition to my beauty routine. As a new Mum with a newborn my skin certainly needs some firming and plumping and this product does just that. You don’t need much to get a nice even coverage and when massaged into the skin it leaves it feeling smooth and hydrated. I haven’t been wearing makeup lately so this product was all I used during the day and I could still feel its hydration late into the afternoon. In the 3 weeks I’ve been using the cream I noticed firmer skin that was really well hydrated and soft - it has so far done what it said it would. I’ve even noticed some of my fine lines (particularly around my eyes are less visible. The cream has a pleasant smell and feel (not greasy) and is an affordable powerhouse product to add to your beauty regime. I’d certainly recommend this as a lightweight and effective moisturiser to refresh and firm the skin.

I actually really loved this product. The bright red and silver packaging is lovely and looks great in the bathroom. I did initially find the smell off putting as it smells like a hair product in my opinion, and i was concerned the fragrance would be over powering - how wrong was I? The cream itself is a velvety white cream that looks and feels really thick however is absorbed into the skin quickly and doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky nor does it have a "heavy" feel on the skin. The fragrance isn't too bad at all and dissipates quickly. Results were fantastic! Within a couple of days my skin looked healthier and definitely plumper - I luckily don't have a lot of wrinkles but I have large pores and quite a bit of hormone discoloration which has definitely faded. Pore size is reduced and my skin looks and feels smoother. I would definitely be using it again and making my husband try it! It didn't take 10yrs off but it has a made a noticeable difference to the appearance and feel of my skin.

I have never used a moisturizer on my face before not even sunscreen (terrible i know) ... now I am in my late 40s I have noticed fine lines appearing and my skin is changing becoming dry in patches and an uneven skin tone. I found the Olay Regenerist to be a lovely silky smooth face cream. When I first applied the cream (I used quite a lots as I wasn't sure how much to use ) im sure I could feel my skin soaking it all in and I noticed a difference almost instantly... like watering a plant that is wiltered. The fine lines plumped up and over a few days I felt they had almost gone... my skin feels beautiful and I feel it looks younger and hydrated. I will definitely keep using this product i am loving the way my skin looks and feels.

I was extremely excited to try this cream as I am now mid thirties and the dreaded fine lines have started to make an appearance.

The cream comes in a sleek jar making it looks quite luxurious and expensive. The jar isn’t as heavy as it looks this making it easy to carry around in the makeup bag.

Upon opening the jar, the first thing I noticed was the smell. This cream smells beautiful. It has a lovely scent that makes you feel freshed.

The cream is quite thick which I like but it is easy absorbed into the skin.

I cannot say if it has helped with my fine lines, as I haven’t noticed a huge difference in this area but it has made my skin more supple and plump.

The texture of my skin has improved since using this cream and I have not experienced any breakouts.

It applies well under makeup and makes a great base.

I would definitely be purchasing this again when I run out.

First of all this product comes in a real lux packaging that makes it feel like a luxury brand, my only negative about the bottle is you have to put your finger in to scoop out the product so it gets contaminated every time, yes you could use a tool to get the product out. The moisture is such a beautiful texture and absorbs into your skin quickly, I used this both during the day and as a night cream, my makeup stayed out during the day with using this. I did prefer it as a night cream as I felt like it then did it’s thing overnight.. would definitely recommend and as someone who usually purchases dermalogica I now know I can save a little money and still get a great product.

I don’t enjoy writing negative reviews about products but I know they can be helpful so here we go!

I have enjoyed and loved many Olay products over the years (I’m looking at you Total Effects!) so I was super excited to trial this cream now that I’m getting older and noticing more signs of ageing as each year passes.

So first things first. The packaging. I am absolutely not a fan, I don’t understand why big brands (or any brand for that matter) continue to use jars when it has been shown time and again that the product degrades quicker and oxidises faster when exposed to the air. Not to mention bacteria! I understand that jars can seem “luxurious”, but I would rather have an effective product than something that looks pretty on my shelf.

Now for the cream itself. It smells exactly like Pantene shampoo and it is STRONG. Again - why do companies continue to add strong fragrances to their skin care? Fragrance is a known irritant to the skin and can cause allergic reactions in certain individuals. Some of us can absolutely handle fragrances but just be aware that this contains a very strong scent that can be irritating.

But does the cream work the way it claims to? In my few weeks of using it I’m going to say no. The cream is thick and heavy and while my skin is on the drier side, I found that the texture didn’t allow for good absorption. The scent also lingers which can be overwhelming.

The one benefit I did find from this cream is that is does hydrate the skin. Did I notice a reduction in fine lines? No. Did I notice that my skin looked and felt firmer than before I started using it? Again, no.

Overall this cream is good for one thing only - adding hydration to dry skin. There are plenty of creams on the market that can do that plus more. I passed the cream on to my mother to try for the last few days and so far she’s said that it’s “fine” but is nothing special.

I feel that this would be suited to mature skin aged 60+ that needs added hydration and likes the luxury feeling of fragrance (providing your skin can handle it).

Overall I wouldn’t repurchase this when it runs out and I probably wouldn’t recommended it due to fragrance, packaging and lack of results!
