Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Face Cream Review

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 .

Review is based on using this product for 3 weeks. I was initially concerned when I felt a slight tingling sensation after my first application - however that went away quickly and was fine thereafter, havent experienced this since. This product moisturises really well. I have brighter smoother softer skin. There is a noticeably improvement in the texture of my skin. What I really love is that I can use this under my makeup, it is easy to apply and goes on smoothly. It has a very light scent which is not overpowering or nauseating like some others I have tried in the past. Using twice daily and saw visible results after a week of use. I have received so many compliments about my skin since using this product, I look and feel amazing!

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.

Thanks for this good opportunity to try this amazing face cream. I was very happy to experience the pleasure and benefit of this product. Most importantly, I noticed that my mature skin became more smoother, radiance and firmer. * The smell: It smelled very pleasant, fresh and gentle. * The texture: Felt creamy but when you actually applied on your face it melted straight into your skin without oily. * The packaging: Lovely Olay classic elegant design. * The price: Compare with other product that has the similar effect," Olay regenerist micro-sculpting cream " is really worth the money you pay for. * The result: My mature skin looked more vibrant. Especially my draw line skin looked more lifted and firmer which definitely made me looked younger!

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.

With my review being under 2 weeks' of use, I am certainly looking forward to the proven benefits listed after 30 days of firmer skin and reduced appearance of up to 10 years of wrinkles.

My verdict: I love the smell and packaging of this product. A thick face creme, I enjoy the feel of the product on my skin and felt it was hydrating when I use it. I did break out, so not sure if this is due to the Olay serum or the creme, or combo of the both, but this settled after the first few days of use. My skin does feel a little tighter, but not noticeably different results at this stage. I am optimistic after extended use this product will help smooth out my skin. At this stage though, nothing much to report, to be whole-heartly be able to recommend this product to others.

Firstly the packaging is bright and cheerful and you can clearly tell which range you are using. The glass feels sturdy, like most other Olay products and the silver lid is Eye catching. The only thing I don’t like, is the instructions tell you to use your finger, I would much rather use a little spatula than my fingers. The cream is amazing! Firstly the fragrance is like green apples, I love that! Thick rich cream, easy to rub in. I did have to wait a bit longer than with other creams to apply primer, but found if I went straight to my foundation, I didn’t really need the primer anyway. I’ve used it twice a day over the last 3 weeks along with the serum and it is a good combo. This is a product I will purchase once I’ve finished up ther many day creams in my stash, I simply love the apple scent that much!

Olay Regenerist micro sculpting face cream is amazing. It is white in colour and comes in a large pottle which will last ages as you don’t need a lot. It has a pleasant fragrance. It does take a little time to absorb into my skin so I wait a few minutes before I apply my makeup. I feel it has made my skin more youthful looking. Definitely refreshing.

You have to love any product that contains Hyaluronic acid ! I always look out for this in my moisturiser as it’s a powerful humectant keeping your skin plump and hydrated, I haven’t used Olay in a long while and I was pleasantly surprised how great this moisturiser is ! I used it on top of their pre essence , it absorbed quickly and my skin felt amazing the next day ! I will definitely be keep using this product!

I haven't used Olay products in quite some time, so I was a little bit excited when I was chosen for this trial. The packaging is quite cute and it is the standard 50g which most face creams come in these days. The scent reminds me a little of Pantene shampoo, which would make sense as I believe they are manufactured by the same company. The cream itself is quite a rich white thick cream consistency and because of this you don't really need much for a whole face application. It did say on the instructions to use upward circular motions to apply the product - not sure why it would matter in which direction you apply your face cream, but hey, I did it anyway. This cream has a timeline of effects on the skin and when they are supposed to happen - at this stage of the game I am supposed to be seeing the reversing the appearance of up to 10 years of wrinkles. I'm 41 and the only wrinkle I really have is a small one by my right eyebrow...unfortunately it's still there Speaking of make up, on my oily skin, I have noticed that since I have been using this face cream and not using much at all (and I haven't changed anything else in my beauty regime), by mid afternoon my foundation and my face is an oily mess - and I have no idea whether that it a fault of the face cream. It is something to keep in mind if you do have oily skin and you are a daily foundation wearer. I also already have pretty firm skin (thanks to some awesome genes) so cannot comment as to whether the face cream has any effect on the plumpness of my skin! I do believe my skin does look brighter though. Even though I haven't really seen any of the results that have been promised, I am going to continue to use the face cream after the trial....and who knows, it may take longer for me to see results more than the average person and if that is the case, I may have found my holy grail (apart from the foundation issues, but that's nothing a little powder can't fix!).
