olay regenerist micro sculpting cream moisturizer

After the recent launch of Olay Regenerist Night Resurfacing Essence, Olay is proud to launch their re-formulated anti-aging moisturizer – Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream – that is claimed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in just one jar! Recently, I was glad to be invited to review this new anti-aging moisturizer.

Formulated with two new anti-aging ingredients, Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream (claimed to be America’s #1 selling anti-aging moisturizer), penetrates rapidly to deliver anti-aging ingredients 10 layers deep into skin’s surface. Results:

• 1 Day: Reduces the appearance of lines, boosts hydration & brightness
• 14 Days: Skin is noticeably firmer and skin elasticity is improved
• 28 Days: Reverses the look of up to 10 years of wrinkles

Do you know skin fatigue and tiredness will make your skin looking dull, rough and dry? When our skin is dry or dehydrated, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles will appear more obvious but fortunately these can be improved with proper skin care routine.

Mini Giveaway – NEW Gillette Venus & Olay Razor

by Shirleen on December 26, 2012 in Giveaway, Olay with 12 Comments

 

Wow Christmas Day was just over, did you enjoy it? To celebrate the 15-day of Christmas, I decided to throw a post Christmas mini giveaway now! Though I’ve just threw a pre-Christmas giveaway contest which ended last week. :D This round I’m going to give away the NEW Gillette Venus & Olay Razor!

Read on to find out more about the giveaway!

Gillette Venus & Olay shaver

For the first time ever, Gillette Venus, a global leader in female shaving, and Olay, a global leader in skincare, are coming together to deliver a new gold standard in female shaving. With the launch of the new Gillette Venus & Olay razor, the superior hair removal and skin care technologies of Venus and Olay have been combined to ensure a close, smooth shave for beautiful skin.

The razor flaunts 2-in-1 benefits: the Olay Moisture Bars help lock-in moisture to your skin for less dryness, and Venus’ five blades give a close shave with every smoothing stroke. The result is ultra-smooth, beautiful skin, which gives women the confidence to reveal their inner Goddess.

Key Benefits :

  • Five progressively-aligned, spring-mounted blades adjust to women’s curves for a more comfortable shave and fewer missed hairs, even over tricky shaving areas like knees and ankles. A thinner blade edge means a lower cutting force is needed to remove hair, therefore less pressure on your skin.
  • Olay Moisture Bars contain skin-enhancing elements found in Olay products: Petrolatum helps lock in skin’s moisture for less dryness and Glycerin helps offer that goddess glow! Just wet the razor to release a light lather – no separate shave cream required.
  • As with most Venus razors, new Venus & Olay also features a rounded, pivoting head designed for women’s curves, and a soft-grip ergonomic handle for confident control, even in wet and soapy environments.

Venus and Olay is available starting 1st December 2012 at supermarket, pharmaceutical, and convenience stores throughout Singapore, as well as online at Zalora Singapore (www.zalora.sg). A refillable Venus & Olay razor is approximately S$19.50 while three replacement cartridges are also about S$19.50.

Review – Olay Regenerist Night Resurfacing Essence

by Shirleen on October 15, 2012 in 4-star ratings, Anti Aging & Moisturizer, Olay with No comments

.

Recently I was invited to review a latest serum from Olay – the Regenerist Night Resurfacing Essence - over the course of 7 days. It is specially designed to resurface skin while we sleep.

Olay Regenerist Night Resurfacing Essence, launched on 1st October 2012 in Singapore, is the latest addition to its award-winning Regenerist line. An innovative night repair serum, inspired by the field of Chronopharmacology which works together with their nocturnal body clock to tackle fine lines and wrinkles on the skin.

The new Olay Regenerist Night Resurfacing Essence, the first daily leave-on night time serum containing glycolic acid, is designed to work with our skin’s natural nightly changes to hydrate, smoothen, and renew skin in just 7 days. Giving the term beauty sleep, a whole new meaning. Imagine waking up to fresher, smoother and tighter skin each day.

For this review, I am required to track my skin transformation journey through a 3 beauty diary during Day 1, Day 4 and Day 7.

Review – Olay Total Effects 7-In-1 Anti-Aging Cream

by Shirleen on May 14, 2009 in 4-star ratings, Anti Aging & Moisturizer, Olay with No comments

Previously, I used to shun off drugstore “anti-aging” products, but after reading some good reviews on products under Olay Total Effects 7-In-1 Anti-Aging range, so for the benefit of doubt, I intended to give a try on one of them.

Product claims

Olay Total Effects 7-In-1 Anti-Aging Cream works to fight against 7 of the major signs of aging. The 7 anti-aging benefits in 1 moisturizer are :

  1. Line Minimization : Reduces appearance of fine lines
  2. Nourishing Moisturization : Soothes dry skin
  3. Tone Enhancement : Evens skin tone
  4. Gentle exfoliation : Smoothes and evens skin texture
  5. Pore Refinement : Minimizes the appearance of pores
  6. Anti-oxidants : Helps protect skin’s moisture barrier
  7. Subtle Lifting : Hydrates for firmer skin appearance

My Opinion

One thing that puzzled me is that although Olay Total Effects 7-In-1 Anti-Aging Creams, which available in Singapore are manufactured in Thailand, imported in India but I don’t understand on why the ingredients are slightly different as compared to other parts of the world. Couldn’t they (P&G) make them consistent?

Having 7 anti-aging benefits are in fact very ‘attractive’ to the potential consumers. But frankly, most of the benefits are interlink, for example : gentle exfoliation not only helps to smooth and even skin texture but also help to minimize the appearance of pores. Nourishing moisturization not only soothes dry skin but also hydrates, protect skin’s moisture barrier and reduces the appearance of fine lines.

Ingredients

One of the plus points for this Olay Total Effects 7-In-1 Anti-Aging Cream is that it contains a handful of antioxidants like tocopheryl acetate, BHT, tocopherol and camellia sinensis leaf extract, which help to combat the free radicals, the major cause of skin aging.

Another good ingredient is niacinamide, water-soluble ingredient, that has been shown to increase ceramide and free fatty acid levels in skin, prevent skin from losing water content and stimulate micro-circulation in the dermis.

But it contains skin-irritants ingredients like benzyl alcohol and fragrance.

Although there is no SPF indication on the product, but it does contain some sunscreen ingredients like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.

Results

I like the texture as it doesn’t feel oily on my skin. Although my skin is more hydrated and tone, but there is no visible improvement on fine lines and firming.

I will consider Olay Total Effects 7-In-1 Anti-Aging Cream, for normal to dry skin, as a good moisturizer instead of a anti-aging cream.

Rating

I dislike the packaging so much!

Will I buy it again? …… Maybe!

Review – Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum

by Shirleen on March 12, 2009 in 4-star ratings, Eye Care, Olay with 1 Comment

Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum, a cream-based serum, is an eye moisturizer which I’m using presently. Although the packaging is different in Singapore and in the US, both are said to contain the same ingredients.

And I guess the difference in packaging is due to the manufacturing location. The product sold here is manufactured by Procter & Gamble Manufacturing Thailand Ltd.

Product review

Notice a complete turnaround in 24 days and all around eye firming, smoothing, and brightening.

Contains a concentrated form of an exclusive amino-peptide complex that hydrates to firm and visibly lift skin around the entire eye area. Visibly lifts, smooths and brightens the entire eye area for firm eyelids, smooth corners and even-tone under eyes.

Ingredients

One of the ingredient niacinamide, a water-soluble ingredient, has shown to increase ceramide and free fatty acid levels in skin, prevent skin from losing water content, and stimulate micro circulation in the dermis.

It contains antioxidant ingredients like tocopheryl acetate, also known as vitamin E and camellia sinensis leaf extract.

Although it contains alcohol which may irritate skin but it also contains a handful of anti-irritant ingredients like cucumis sativus (cucumber) fruit extract, allantoin and petrolatum.

Other ingredients are : sucrose polycottonseedate, contains water-binding properties for skin. Palmitoyl pentapeptide-3, a fatty acid mixed with amino acids. Mica, an earth mineral included in products to give them sparkle and shine.

Texture

Smooth, light, shimmer (mica ingredient) and non-greasy cream feel which is easily absorbed.

Results

Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum, fragrance-free, helps to moisture the area around the eye pretty well. Very superficial improvement on fine lines but not on the dark eye circles.

Ratings

Will I buy it again? …… Most Likely!
