Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Face Cream Review

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 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 am a long time Olay user, though I usually just use the everyday moisturiser.

I found the Olay Regenerist to be very moisturising, it was very creamy and felt luxurious when applying. The cream seemed to absorb into my skin pretty quickly and didn’t leave my fingers or face feeling greasy.

Olay has quite a strong aroma when sniffing the jar, though the aroma wasn’t overpowering when applying.

The packaging seemed to make a lot of claims, I do believe my lines around my forehead were slightly duller - which is a great thing. So there is a chance further fine lines/wrinkles will reduce the longer I use this product.

I also found the moisturiser to be a good base for my primer and/or foundation.

My only downfall of this product is that it does not contain any sunscreen.

I was lucky enough to be picked by BR to review this product! Olay is a reliable brand and this face cream is a nice addition to their range. This face cream has a nice scent and is a good texture and weight. I have found some Olay face creams to be quite thick and heavy in the past but this one strikes a nice balance between not being too heavy or light. I'm lucky enough not to have any wrinkles yet but this face cream has made a nice difference to my skin and maybe its firmer, it's so hard to tell. The packaging is what you expect, a nice plastic jar that's not too big. I can have breakouts when I change my skin care products up but that didn't happen with this change which was good. I will keep using this after the trial period is up and am interested to see where my skin is at after 28 days of using the face cream.

When I got the invite for this moisturiser I was excited and couldn’t wait to try. The packaging of the moisturiser looks very high end- with the red and the silver teamed up, very stylish.

The moisturiser is quite thick consistency and pleasant smelling. It felt really nice on my skin. My skin can tend to be on the dry and sensitive side. This moisturiser sunk into my skin and gave it a lovely smooth surface to my foundation.

Overall I’m impressed about the quality of this moisturiser. I found it to be a really nice formula that worked well on my skin. I would recommend this and would repurchase.

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.

Nice everyday moisturiser and good for its price. Has little to no scent which is good if your sensitive to products that do have scent. The cream it’s self is a medium to thick consistency, so a little does go a long way! I have been using this as my everyday morning moisturiser before I put on my make up. Has been helping with the odd bits of dry skin around my nose, but haven’t notice any major chances with fine lines and wrinkles- but it’s still early days so far !

Hardly has a Scent which is great as I have sensitive skin but this didn't affect it at all. You only need a little bit as its quite a thick consistency but my skin has felt so hydrated while using it. I'm not sure my skin looks higher but it's only been a few wks, maybe I'll notice it more in a month. I have noticed the puffiness under my eyes is lessening since I started using it.

I've been using it morning and night and I like the fact its quite light, which means if I was wearing my makeup everyday it would probably be ok under my foundation.

Overall it's a really good product & I have seen the price in stores which is really reasonable so would probably still use it even if it doesn't firm skin as its great at hydrating. But I'll continue to use and see how it goes.

I am 29 years old and am just starting to notice some changes in my skin such as fine lines, wrinkles and dry skin. This makes me terribly sad inside!

I tried this product as they briefly had a sample size available for purchase. I loved it! My skin felt soft and moisturized and not at all oily, I noticed my fine lines were disappearing and my foundation went on a lot smoother.

Definitely the best moisturizer I have used. I ran out of my sample size bottle and decided I needed to buy a replacement immediately. Sadly I went to the supermarket and this product was not what I would typically call supermarket prices. It was $52.99 and while I desperately wanted it I knew that sadly I could not afford it.

Every time I have to purchase new moisturizer I look longingly at this one but it is usually out of my budget so I go for the cheaper option which is ok but it just isn't the same!

If it was closer to the $30-$35 mark I would always use 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.
