Olay Regenerist Advanced Cleansing System Review

I've seen all the hype around clarisonic cleansing brushes and have always wanted to try one but I just can't justify the price! So when I saw this on special for $25 and had seen so many positive reviews (and mention that it's similar to a clarisonic) I jumped at giving this a go.

I've been only using mine for 2 weeks, i use it twice a week. I tried the cleanser that came with it but I wasn't too fussed on that so have been using my Michael Todd Tropical Scrub instead. The combo is a dream! It leaves my face looking clearer and sooooo smooth!

The brush is quite soft and it has 2 speeds. I find it super relaxing and tend to use it for more then the specified time (tsk tsk).

I have not had any skin sensitivity or redness from using this, and I am prone to skin sensitivity if a product is too rough or abrasive.

I am really glad I brought this!

UPDATE I'm on week 3 and I an definitely see a vast improvement in my skin, my pores around my nose are reduced to barely noticeable. I've had a few blind spots on my chin finally come up (they had been chilling for a while) which I think is a sort of purge from the brush. Once those clear I feel my skin is going to be at its best ever!

I think the Olay Regenerist Advances Cleansing System may be the single best thing I have ever done for my skin. I've only been using it for just over one week, so I'll update this over time to see it's long-term effects but here's my thoughts right now.. OH MY GOD!

Firstly, I have been cursed with the WORST skin genes ever. I have had acne since I was 10 (honestly, thinking back that really is a horrible thing for anyone anyway let alone a child to go through). The result of this as a still-suffering acne-prone adult is that I have a lot of acne scars, blemishes and oily skin.

This kit comes with the cleansing brush and cleanser. It doesn't give any particular instructions on how often you should use it but I began using it twice a day and then switched to just once at the end of the day as I didn't know if even though it's gentle, twice would be too much although I didn't notice any bad effects of using it twice.

After removing makeup, I wet my face and applied the Olay exfoliating cleanser to my face. I've used other cleansers and my african black soap too and all worked fine. I actually really like the cleanser it comes with, it had small exfoliating beads, a mild scent and was gentle on the skin.

I moved the brush over my face, 20 seconds on my forehead, 20 on nose and chin and 10 on each cheek. It feels to me like the perfect level of exfoliation, not too light like some exfoliating cleansers by themselves, and not too heavy. You can actually see makeup coming away on it which is really gross but it's good knowing that with this you get it all! Once I cleansed with Cetaphil first then used it with the exfoliant and I must have forgotten to take my brow makeup off cause you could see the brush head going dark brown!

Afterwards, my skin felt soft, smooth, clean and fresh. This brush really is gentle enough that you could use it twice a day, once a day like me, or only a couple of times a week. I really can't recommend this product highly enough to everyone, it will just add that extra touch to your skincare routine and help your products work to their fullest potential. And it's a real bargain at this price!

Oh my gosh, I am loving this. You cna use your usual cleanser and turn it into an exfoliator just by using this. I love it with the Olay Anti Aging Cleanser. Blocked pores have been reduced and my skin has a glow. I am good to go with just a bb or cc cream after this. I have oily to combination skin with concerns about aging so this is perfect. Highly recommended.

I have been using this cleansing system now for 1 week and have already noticed a HUGE difference to my skin. My skin is oily and i have small bumps all over my face. I have and would try anything to help clear my skin and this is the only product i have used that has done this for me!

I wanted to try something along the lines of a clarisonic, MINUS the price tag, so this was perfect. It really is a deep cleanse, and it's amazing how much makeup it still removes even after you think you've got it all off. Your skin feels so incredibly smooth once you've used it, and I have defiantly noticed that my skin doesn't look as dull as it did before.

didn't know my skin could be any cleaner! i use this as my daily " exfoliant " now it's also addictive! would be great if it was waterproof and rechargeably... but for the price you can't argue it did the job and it's great the bristles are super soft!

Well I've been a bit bad at cleansing lately, very lazy. My skin took the grunt of it. Having huge breakouts that wouldn't go away (because I'd pop them) and blackheads that would come to the surface and just look rather unsightly.

I'd looked at the clarisonic, and felt that for the price I couldn't justify it. There are a few things that are more important than a fancy skin brush. I discovered that this wonderful product existed and decided to give it a try.

Now I didn't know what to expect - the sensation of the brush on your face is rather interesting. I've only used it with one of my clarins exfoliating products and the one that came in the box. But my skin really loved it. Within 3 days of using it only at night my blemishes had started to disappear, no longer were the red and raw. The pores and unsightly blackheads on my nose had diminished. I felt so ecstatic. I didn't expect such great quick results - but I will take it!

Highly recommend this product, if you're a lazy cleanser like me something like this will make all the difference. Such a relaxing feeling while you do it too!

I had high hopes for this beauty gadget and so far it’s reached those and more. My pores are evening out and my skin condition is much better than it was before I started using it.

The soft rotating brush isn’t aggravating to my skin, it works very well with the Natio Foaming Cleanser I’m using. The Olay one that came in the box is sitting in my bathroom cupboard in case I need it in an emergency, I far prefer natural products though.

Make sure your hair is off your face as it can get caught up in the brush, it doesn’t hurt but it’s inconvenient.

Use water - that sounds obvious but one dampening of the brush won’t do it for you. Lather up and then add more water and the foaming will begin.

It’s actually very calming and refreshing to use. It did feel a little odd the first time I used it but my skin feels so super clean and squeeky afterwards and it’s so well prepared for the next step in my routine (toning with Trilogy Mist Toner) and then an application of the MitoQ serum. After that I use either the Plantae Fruit and Seed Serum. All in all a good routine and the brush really does prepare my skin for that. I wake up in the mornings with much softer skin.

This comes in a nice red box with a 30gm cleanser and 2 batteries and a small brush. The brush clicks on to the top and easy to load the batteries at the bottom.The gadget is light and easy to hold. There a re 2 settings which I like as sometimes you feel like an extra boost. The brush works well to remove any make up and does a really light exfoliate which I like as I have sensitive skin.Use with a little water with or without cleanser and the results are a lovely clean soft skin.After you have used apply a moisturiser which seems to penetrate into the skin much quicker than usual. I was a little dubious at first when I saw these but am really please I purchased now.The warehouse sell at $34 and currently Farmers have a special for $33 so not too expensive.
