So I put the Olay Rgenerist Overnight Miracle Regime to the ultimate test. I spent 7 days in the Yukon dog sledding, hiking and snowmobiling and aurora watching in temperatures that were cold...very cold -9 to -21.... and let me tell you I was pleased I was on this trial. I was exposed to snow and extreme cold....well for me it was extreme cold. I found that this regime definitely made my skin resilient to handle the conditions and look good and stay hydrated. There was no greasy feeling or residue and it was an easy regime to get into. My skin felt great and there were less visible lines. It worked so well in the Yukon I wondered how it would help my skin with the wind and rain of San Fransisco. I am pleased to say again it has come through for me leaving my skin feeling soft and hydrated and repairing the damage done while I slept.
I have had in the past a tendency to react to some skin products but not with Olay. The regime is easy to do each night, feels great from the first drop of Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence and the Micro-sculpting Night Cream was amazing.
Now I am off to see how it holds up with the heat and dust of the Grand Canyon and in the heat of Las Vegas......
Thanks Olay for a product that has looked after my skin and definitely made me feel more youthful in a vast range of climates and conditions over the last month. I will definitely be continuing the regime and recommending it to others.
My skin is in need of some anti-ageing tlc, being 52 with very English skin (fair and fine), I was interested to trial these products to see if they could really make a difference.
Serum: Couple of drops applied to my face and neck before the moisturizer, did sting a little at first, but this went after a couple of days.
Day Moisuriser: Feels rich but not too thick, it was perfect for my skin, which after a few days did not look or feel dry/papery. My skin actually felt moisturised and supple all day until I cleansed at night. Only down side was on warm days my foundation didn't wear as well, but that could be overcome with maybe a little less moisturizer and maybe pressed powder if that's your thing. The fragrance is light and pleasant.
Night Moisturiser: Silky and rich, felt wonderful feeding my skin at night with this luxurious cream. The fragrance is again very pleasant, not too much and not too little. In the morning my skin didn't look tired or drawn, and still felt moisturized and supple.
I have used these products over my face and neck and especially on the décolletage (base of my throat/top of my chest). My skin feels softer, supple and looks good, although I could not say that my lines are any less noticeable - this may become more evident after using for a few months. The most dramatic difference is to my lower neck and décolletage, this has been transformed to a much smoother appearance, the skin surface is smooth, unlined and feels supple to the touch. This area was previously lined and uneven taking on a leathery appearance, but not any more!
I would certainly buy this product again if it see it on sale, it is a little pricey for me, although the results may change my mind about that. Would recommend to others over 50, it is definitely rich enough for aging skin. I have been so impressed by these Olay products that I would now like to try the cleanser and eye cream in this range.
Tips: A little goes a long way, both moisturisers are rich enough not to have to use too much.
