Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence Review

This product has helped my skin a lot since I received it in the last beauty vault. It comes in a red see through bottle with a silver lid, it took me awhile to figure out how to get the product out but once I realized I thought it was quite clever! You turn the lid then press the top down and the product goes into the dropper, unscrew it some more and your ready to press the lid again to squirt it into your hand. I found one squirt is enough for your entire face and neck. The product is like a gel that goes on smoothly, it feels a little sticky at the start but once it dries it feels nice and smooth on your face. It has a strange smell to it but not over powering. I use it before I moisturize and have found it has made my skins texture a lot better. I will definitely be repurchasing especially because of how long it has lasted me and is a good price.

It would take a miracle for my skin to go back to its glory days of youth - alas, this wasn't the miracle I needed, but I really did enjoy using it.

I LOVE the packaging - it's very luxe-looking. The dropper is the best I've used. It gave me just the right amount of product and it worked right until the very end of the bottle.

The scent wasn't too strong, which I appreciate. The serum itself wasn't too thick nor too watery (Goldilocks would approve), and it sunk quickly into my skin after I'd cleansed and toned.

Did I see amazing results? Nothing mind-blowing, BUT my skin did not react to any of the ingredients and I felt my skin looked more toned and my wrinkles did not deepen, which made me feel it was holding off the march of time.

Would I use again? Absolutely. Would it be my holy grail? No... the search is still on for that particular miracle product.

I’m Not a huge fan of serums and what they are supposed to achieve ,but stayed open minded with this one . Attractive bottle and interesting way to apply this product .,at first I found it a bit tricky but soon got the hang of it . Again had a pleasant aroma and initially felt a bit sticky but after applying had a nice cooling effect on my skin ..

I can’t really say I’ve noticed any difference with my skin using this ,so for me it’s not something I would purchase ,it just doesn’t deliver for me or live up to the advertising . If only It did .

Noticed a massive difference to my skin after just a few days using this essence. My skin feels tighter and using this has evened out my complexion which is great. I definitely have brighter looking skin and the pores on my face are not as visible. I love the dropper on the bottle, great feature so no more guessing how much to use. The product is a light clear texture which I have been applying under the Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting cream fro great results.

My skin received this really well. I have been very slack with my skincare routine lately.. I ran out of my usual serum (or the first step of my skincare routine) and just kept using a night cream (step 2). What I was using, I was using to use up.. I didn’t actually feel like it was doing anything for my skin so my skin was at a great blank canvas to see if this actually made a difference.

And I believe it did.

It applies easily once you can master the pipette applicator. It’s actually quite a smart pipette that doesn’t drip and draws a nice amount for application. The essence itself is almost a clear fluid.. almost. With kind of gel like consistency. The box recommends two pumps for ideal results but I found one plenty for my face and neck. It isn’t oily. It is very quickly absorbed so you need to work quickly. 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 doesn’t apply like an oil based serum as it pretty much absorbed straight away and leaves an almost sticky layer. But not horribly sticky- it feels like something is there.. but the skin is beautifully smooth. I almost used a whole draw of the pipette every time so you do use this faster than you would an oil for example but not a great deal faster. I still have the majority of my bottle left and I have had a few weeks with this already so that’s not too bad in my opinion. I do think I would finish this bottle faster than the cream pottle. It has a slight smell in my opinion.. a faint curry smell. But not offensive and disappears very quickly.

It sits very well under makeup. As it’s applied twice a day there’s no doubt it has had to sit under my makeup. It was great. It was amazing actually. I found it acts like a primer – smoothing and creating a dewy finish that made makeup apply so easily.

It’s very hard to tell individually the effect this is having as I was testing as a duo but I noticed straight after application of the pre-essence that my skin felt tighter, more plump and smooth. The actual packaging states it “boosts skin renewal” and this was based on an exfoliation study of skin surface cells.. so going by this I would say YES I felt a difference - my skin felt so smooth like it had an exfoliation treatment, but I hadn’t.

I’m over 30, I have a few wrinkles – I have the laughter lines, frown lines and I sleep on my side lines. I don’t expect these to disappear. After using this I still have wrinkles.. I didn’t expect that to change – BUT I feel this would be doing a great job to slow the aging process further for someone my age. I am pretty happy about the minimised pores.. pre 30s I never worried about my pores but post 30s my pores are noticeably bigger so yay! As well as this my general appearance is considerably better - smoother and more plump skin just another bonus. I can’t complain about this so thanks BR for another fab product.

Love this amazing " Olay regenerist miracle boost pre-essence "! The design is elegant and it is easy to pump without any problem. Clear egg white like serum immediately absorbed by skin. My skin ( mature skin ) feels very comfortable after using. I can notice that my skin looks healthily moist and dewy and not oily. I also love the pleasant smell. This product is definitely a hydration boost on my mature skin and it does a very good preparation before my next step---- to apply the " Olay regenerist micro-sculpting cream".

I have been using this product in conjunction with the Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Face Cream in the mornings and before bed for three weeks.

The product comes in a very posh looking red bottle (to match the high price!). The best thing about the bottle is probably the most innovative design in packaging I have seen in a while - a clever auto-dropper (when you open the lid it loads the applicator with product) that ensures the exact right amount of product. I initially started out using two pumps, but am more comfortable using just one now.

The product absorbs well and does not leave any stickiness. It does have quite a chemically smell that I didn't like, but it doesn't linger.

It makes some big claims about what it can do - visibly reduce fine lines, pores, and firm the skin. It may be that I need to use it for longer than three weeks but I don't think the product lives up to those claims. But it did leave my skin feeling hydrated and it helped the moisturiser go on more smoothly. So I won't be using it with expectations of knocking years of aging off my face but will continue using it as a primer that prepares skin for moisturising.

I am always up for trying new products to search out the best products or my skin. The benefits listed tick all the boxes and after two weeks these still need to come to light for me. I hope over longer use my skin will improve.

I love the scent and the feel of this serum. A cool gel, my skin does feel plump and refreshed shortly after using it. I did break out when I started using this product and I personally find the recommendation to use two pumps of the serum per use is excessive, and one is sufficient for my face and neck, also the dispenser is a bit fidgety to need to pump the second time. As an indication, after using the product for just under two weeks, using two pumps of the dispenser, I have used half the bottle.

Will keep with the regime, and see what results are to come!

There are many many serums out there, and I’ve tried a fair few of them, I think this is my favourite for many reasons. The number one reason is the packaging. Not only is it striking to look at with its sharp red and silver container, but the way the lid had the dropper in it, with a push button to release the serum onto your hand is fantastic! Once the lid is screwed on properly the button is flat, so you can easily see if it is open to not. This will reduce my chances of spilling. The red glass is clear enough to see how much serum is left, I like this too. As for the actual product, it is pretty good. Opaque colour, smooth serum which spreads over and is abosorbed by my face easily. Just one pump was enough for me. The odour is very slight and pleasant. I used the serum twice a day after toner, as directed... do I have more youthful skin? Maybe. This is definitely a product I would purchase... after I use up all my many other serums. I will continue to use this until it is empty, which judging from the last 3 weeks, will probably take about 4-5 months.

I have been using this product for just over 2 weeks both morning and night. I'm loving it. It smells pleasant and is easy to apply. It is fairly runny so 2 pumps is adequate for the face and neck. It does take a little bit for it to soak into the skin but feels really good on the skin once it has. It comes in a nice bottle, first time using it I did find it hard to twist the bottle open. It's great how it works as a syringe, no spilling anything! I have noticed a difference in my skin after the 2 weeks, my pores have reduced in size and the lines around my eyes are definitely smoother. It is slightly more in price but I think it is totally worth the money, highly recommend trying this product, lives up to it's name "Miracle Boost".
