Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream 1.7 Oz

CUSTOMER REVIEW



This Olay product is a great moisturizer. It helped with my very dry skin, plumping up my skin, so the lines weren't as noticeable and made my skin softer. It feels wonderful on your skin, absorbs well, and it isn't greasy. My favorite. I give it 5 stars for its moisturizing effect on your skin, but I take a 1/2 star off because the effects don't last long. I look great and refreshed for awhile, but eventually, as with all moisturizers, the fine lines and dryness come back. I also tend to have severe dry patches that creep up, especially in the winter when the air is dry and cold. This improves them tremendously, but hasn't gotten rid of them. To be fair, I did not find anything in the drugstore that would actually "cure" my skin, but this moisturizer comes the closest. It's the best moisturizer and lasts the longest of all the moisturizers I've tried.



I wanted to see if I could actually change the condition of my skin, and have skin that was permanently line free and soft. I won't go into all of my trials and errors, here are some of the things I found effective so you can avoid my guinea pig routine. For reducing lines, the best product was RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream, 1-Ounce. I would give it 5 stars, but it is STRONG, so down to 4 stars. It says to use it every day, but trust me, don't, it can burn your skin. A few days in a row, then break for a day. I still use it when I need a little oomph, but use it for a day or two and then off. If you want to get rid of wrinkles, this will do the job. You need a good moisturizer with it, because the major drawback to all the retinol products is that they dry your skin.



I did some more research to see if there is some way to actually change your skin so that it is younger looking permanently. I read a book by Dr. Oz that talks about what your body needs to stay young as long as possible. The chapter on skin was enlightening - our skin needs basic vitamins (A, B, C, E), omega 3's and fatty acids to keep it healthy and build the collagen and elastin that keep it firm and young looking. I couldn't find anything except the usual moisturizers, then I read about oil for skin care and found a long list of plant oils that have the vitamins and fatty acids Dr. Oz said were important. I bought some argan oil, and that's when I started to see a change in my skin that lasts long term. I looked for some products that would give me more of the vitamins, etc. and found Bel Essence All-Natural Anti-Wrinkle Treatment - Intensive Anti Aging, Facial Lift Skin Care Formula - 1.5oz that has natural plant oils (9!) with high concentrations of all the nutrients Dr. Oz talked about. This worked even better than the plain argan oil. Amazing. Using the cream with the Olay gave me both the immediate effects of a great moisturizer and long term change. After several months, even if I missed a day or two with my skincare routine, my skin was still softer, and with fewer lines. After several months of using both together along with the retinol products (not every day!), I noticed that lines were almost gone, and now, after a year, I barely have any lines on my forehead or around my eyes - even when I miss my daily skin routine.



I am very happy to report that after sticking with these products, that my skin is now, in my early 50's, younger looking and softer than when I was in my 40's. When people guess my age, the guess is 38-40, which I happily take. And I am always being asked what I do to have my skin look this good. I recommend the combination of all three.
