Olay Pro-X Microdermabrasion Plus Advanced Cleansing System, 1-Kit

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Vine Customer Review of Free Product (What's this?) I've been using this product for two weeks. I've done the crystals three of the nights and the cleanser alone on the other days.



The cleansing cream is designed to work with the scrubber and I like it fine. I haven't noticed a difference with it or other cream cleansers at this point. Prior to this, I used a variety of cleansers and I wash my face with my hands (versus using a washcloth) unless my makeup needs some extra help to come off.



MY SKIN TYPE: Oily ... MY CLIMATE: humid (so I wouldn't normally need much moisturizing, but even with the natural conditioning, my skin feels softer and smoother with this product).



I have used nearly identical crystals with Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion & Peel System 1 Kit where you rub the crystals with your hand around a wet face and then apply a thermal product. That one was cool, but rubbing the crystals with your hands is fairly abrasive. Your hands get kind of sore. So having the tool is a real bonus.



The crystal "salve" from both products require rinsing and rubbing off with wet hands or a washrag, but I tend to use less with this system so it's easier.



The motor..well, I can't see much use for level 1, but I guess that's a personal thing. I tend to use the highest level on everything and it's not nearly as powerful as I had imagined. I would like to see a proportionately level 5 at least!



Why the tool can be an improvement to using your hands:

1. The abrasive crystals in the salve are abrasive to your hands

2. It keeps everything cleaner

3. Probably more gentle to use the cushioned disk. It seems to limit the pressure.



Professional microdermabrasian has a reputation for leaving skin raw, so I expected something MORE when I used this... Like raw skin or something. But that might be actually damaging to the skin. And painful. This is not painful. It's slow and steady.



Verdict on my skin? It's definitely smoother. In two weeks, my dark spots do seem a teeny bit lighter. Olay does not promise that it will change that soon. It seems my occasional acne has not been appearing. But honestly, the first few days it seemed like it was.. so it may have been drawing out the bacteria at that point.



After using the product and rinsing your face. Pat dry and apply a good night cream or Argan Oil (that stuff is fabulous for making your skin soft). When you need to refill the crystals, I recommend getting the set mentioned above Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion & Peel System 1 Kit because the warming product is very cool and it will work better with this tool.



At first I wasn't excited about the product, but I have been converted and I do like it. I like how it does go into the crannies of my face if I move it around enough and it feels good to me during and after.



Amazon provided me this product for free in exchange for an honest review. I know 5 stars is a lot and I don't give that easily, but for the price and what you get and how well it works, I think it deserves it. It's not a facelift, but it does make for a soft face and will work those nasty dead cells off your face.
