Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence Review

Packaging: The first impression of the product was that the packaging was very attractive. The pump mechanism was intriguing but very quickly became the bane of my life. The product says to use two pumps of the product but the process of having to screw the lid on tight to load every dose quickly became tedious especially in the morning where as a busy mum multitasking is a must. So that was a negative in my view.

Product: The actual product smelt really nice, almost like shampoo so it was a familiar smell and not overpowering which is essential as I can be sensitive to perfumes and I don't know which until I've got it on. Not helpful if this is a product right under your nose. The feel of the product is good, initially when it touched my hands I thought it was going to be sticky but it goes on smoothly and absorbs really quickly. You would soon forget you have it on if your skin didn't feel so refreshed.

Results: I didn't notice a lot of plumping of the skin, I'm going with the fact that maybe I just didn't need it haha but I doubt that is true. I didn't notice any earth shattering results nor did everyone suddenly tell me I was looking radiant. What I did notice though is that a patch of eczema around my mouth that I had been battling with has healed. So I think its claim to renew cells definitely proved true.

Conclusion: I didn't see any real line or plumping improvement but I definitely felt skin renewal. I would use it again just for that! Maybe it will prevent the wrinkles from appearing.

Was super exited to try this product... It comes in a really easy bottle to use which is generous in size & will last as only a small amount is required each time. Made my skin feel super hydrated & gave it a youthful glow which I was super surprised about but of course happy about it at the same time. I have sentitive skin so was a little worried when first trying this product but I didn't need to be as it was gentle & the smell wasn't over powering. I feel my skin definitely felt more plumper and hydrated. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to avoid early signs of aging.

I was lucky enough to trial this product on my 50+ skin. It is a clear, lightweight consistency which disappears into the skin, which I followed with the Micro-sculpting cream. I wondered how this product could possibly make a difference to my skin, however, within a week I noticed that my skin was feeling smooth and soft and not in need of my usually weekly exfoliation treatment. This continued, and every day, my skin felt the same as it did immediately after exfoliation.

I certainly do not look 10 years younger in 4 weeks, but my skin does appear softer and smoother.

I would like to continue using it, and would recommend it to others.

I received this essence as part of a duo review opportunity along with the face cream. I’ve been using both products for over three weeks now and I wish I had taken before and after pics. The essence is nicely packaged and comes in a handy little bottle which is easy to use and dispenses the right amount of product at the push of the pump on the lid. It has a silky & smooth texture and very easy to apply over face and neck. It is absorbed almost immediately without any residual stickiness. One thing I did notice was a almost garlicky smell on the first instance as you apply the essence but then it’s gone almost immediately. It doesn’t linger so nothing to worry about. Used with the face cream, the results were noticeably amazing. Pores appear visibly reduced from first use and continuous use, twice daily over the course of three weeks not only resulted in healthier looking skin but also with a photo finish glow, with minimised wrinkles and an overall firmness and suppleness of skin. I am very impressed with this product and the face cream, so much so that I am going to buy the eye cream from this range of skin care. Highly recommend.

I am really enjoying this product. Love the clever dispenser, its a self loading dropper bottle, when you turn the lid it draws up the required amount. It has a dewy, liquid gel texture, and absorbs quickly into your skin, without feeling sticky. I do feel my skin is looking more youthful (wishful thinking?) and will be purchasing it again, to continue using in partnership with the micro-sculpting cream.

I love everything about this serum.

The clever cap automatically draws up exactly the right amount for one 'dose' of the serum with the action of undoing the cap is genius. So no more wondering if you are using too much or too little for maximum effectiveness.

The top of the cap then also allows really good control of serum release. You can release a precise, small amount, work that in and then drop a little more to a new area, etc if you prefer to apply that way.

The serum has a similar consistency to a very thin clear gel and is very rapidly absorbed. It is pleasantly cool on application and does not have any unpleasant post application sensations associated with its use (unlike some other serums I've tried which variously burned, tingled, numbed or tightened).

But the best thing is what happens when you use it in combination with the Olay Regenerist Micro Scultping Cream...

So I cleanse, tone, serum, oil, moisturiser, SPF..... I thought I had all the skincare bases covered. But no! What I didn't even know I was missing was a Pre-Essence! I didn't really know what a pre-essence was. Nor do I really know what an Essence is, exactly. But I was game to give it a try, and I'm really impressed. I really do need a Pre-Essence in my life! Olay Regenerist Pre-Essence is a lightwieght serum-like product, intended to be used after cleansing and toning but before serums or other treatment/moisturising steps. I love the packaging. It has a pipette applicator, which is automatically filled with the perfect dose when you unscrew the bottle cap. Then you push press the button on the top of the cap to squirt the product into your palm. I just rub it between my palms and then press my hands onto my face. It's not sticky at all and it absorbs quickly. There's no noticable fragrance. Then I apply serum, oils and all the other myriad of products that I use to hopelessly attempt to stave off the inevitable. I couldn't give it 5 stars for doing what it said it would, because I can't say for certain that I will look 10 years younger. I live in hope though! I really do think that it has helped make my skin look smoother and fresher, so I'm really happy with it.

I LOVED the Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence!!!

It makes your skin feel velvety smooth and is so easy to apply. The packaging looks good and is also practical as the top acts as a dropper/pump. When you unscrew the lid it draws the liquid up into the dropper and then you just push the button on the top to dispense it. ONE drop is enough to get full coverage so a bottle will last you ages which makes it good value for money. It feels lovely and light when you put it on and doesn't feel sticky. It dries really quickly too and has a nice but very subtle fragrance. Your skin feels super soft as soon as it dries and just feels amazing!!!

After using the Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence my skin definitely looks smoother and softer. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

This serum is step two of a four step regimen however they don't all need to be used together. The claims on the box say it boosts skin renewal, reduces wrinkles and firms. The packaging of this product is lovely, it's an elegant red bottle with a pump in the lid that ensures you dont end up using too much. It has a slight scent and is a clear liquid with a light texture. I started off using this as instructed which was to use twice a day after cleansing and before moisturiser. After a few days I found it a bit much so reduced it down to just using in the morning. This product feels divine going on the skin, it absorbs super fast and is easy to rub in. It left my skin feeling so smooth. In the short time I have been using it I don't think it reduced any wrinkles as stated but my face does feel softer and looks brighter. This is one of the lightest, most gentle serum type products I have used that doesn't leave the skin feeling clogged.
