Olay products

Meowingkitty — Mon, 07 Apr 2014 01:47:04 GMT

Does anyone have any opinions of Olay products. After years of trying Kiels, clinique, bobby brown among others and spending mega bucks I have decided to try Olay products again and I was wondering what others have experienced. I recently invested in the Regenerist line. I am hoping I like it so I can clean out my stash of half used products and settle on one line.

Every time I try something from Olay I get serious breakouts. I hope you have great success with it.

I find it has gotten as costly as the others you mentioned. I just started on a path with Paula's Choice. I first purchased her 2% BHA gel, since I have plenty of Philosophy Purity face cleaner. I also have plenty of Avalon Renew Rejuvenating Oil-Free Vitamin C Moisturizer. I did need more foundation/CC cream and powder, so I picked up her RESIST foundation and powder. I also picked up her Skin Balancing Antioxidant Serum to use as a morning primer for my makeup and night treatment. I have oily skin with some eczema popping up from time to time, so that means combo skin. There are always coupons and sales for Paula's Choice, so it is in the same, if not cheaper price point than Olay unless you are using generic version of Olay. I did find my skin liked the generic versions of the Olay moisturizer and cleaning wipes than the brand.

I think OOO makes some great skincare products. The Regenerist line keeps improving all the time. They also keep reformulating the products to incorporate the latest ingredients proven to make a difference. I highly recommend them especially if one is trying to stay within a budget. You can find them on Amazon for less than local drugstores and if you think you'll stick with them for awhile then sign up for Amazon's Subscribe and Save where you'll save even more. You are under no obligation to remain in the S&S plan but it sure adds to the savings. You can easily cancel even if you just ordered once under the S&S program. I ordered some skincare that way (using the S&S) then decided I wasn't going to continue with that particular skincare and it was as simple as pie to cancel (it wasn't an Olay product as they have many others you can also buy under the S&S plan.) I was saving 30 to 40% over buying it in local drugstores and no shipping fees.

The other fYI is that Consumer Reports has tested the Regenerist line against much pricier skincare products and they have always come out #1. They don't do it yearly but periodically and Regenerist seems to always do super well. And CR doesn't mess around with their testing - they do real skin clinicals using equipment that documents actual improvements. It is not based on tester's opinions.

Regenerist is a very nice line. It is gets high approval ratings on Beautypedia. It's not all that cheap for drugstore but if you get it at CVS, it is often on sale or on buy one, get one 50% off. I get P&G Olay coupons in the Sunday paper as well. Plus at CVS, you get those extra bucks all the time.

CVS also has knock off versions right beside the real thing (compare the ingredients lists though), although when I go in to CVS armed with all my various coupons, the real thing can be much cheaper than the knockoff.

I am sure Rite Aid and Walgreens have pretty good specials and knockoffs too. There are ways to whittle down Olay costs.

I'm using other things for treatments rather than Olay now, but I still use the Regenerist lotion with SPF 50 for my daily facial sunscreen. I use a different sunscreen on the arms and legs. I really like the Olay with SPF for the face. (Edited)

I've been using Olay products for 35 years. Regenerist for probably 4 years. I'm happy that people say I don't look my true age.

I just opened a Regenerist night cream about a week ago and I am loving it. I used to use the original Olay day lotion with sph, but have switched to something with high spf.

I just recently did some research on reviews & decided to stop buying the more expensive brands & switch to the Olay Regenerist line. The 2 products I am currently using & like are the Olay Regenerist micro-sculpting serum & microsculpting cream. The serum goes on light & soaks right into the skin. (I liked it as much or better than WHINE). The texture of my skin seems better using it. I've always used Dr Denese & while I like it I'm trying to really cut back on cost & the Olay moisturizing micro-sculpting cream (which I use at nite) leaves my skin very soft & moisturized the next AM. I also buy on Amazon & it is very economical compared to other products I've purchased in the past. I still use a Vitamin C serum, but the Olay products are keepers for me.

I used and liked the Olay Regenerist Night Recovery cream for years but have switched to a product that I like just as well but that is in a tube and not a jar. I really don't like skincare in a jar or tub.

My Mom swore by Olay products and used them until her last day and she had beautiful skin.

I can't use Olay. It cause severe breakouts for me, regardless of which line of theirs I try.

This may seem silly but I have been turned off by the smell of Oil of Olay products.

I reallly love oil of olay products. Iam almost 50, and have been using them for years. I started when i was 17, with just the simple pink fluid lotion. Every single oil of olay product I have loved. In my opinion they work great. My face never feels dry when I use it. Always rinses clean. With other products I feel like I have to apply two coats of moisturizer. But with olay I dont. Love it!

OKAY LADIES, I hate to sound like a broken record, but no matter what skin product you use, face, neck, body, arms, legs - EVERYTHING works better if you have used a SALUX cloth in your shower. That is the biggest improvement I have discovered in recent weeks thanks to this forum.

I use it daily and my skin is so soft it is shiny. My feet are as soft as babies. Check out the website for this product if you aren't familiar with it. SALUXSHOP.com

I use it lightly on my face and neck (stay away from the private area) and use more pressure on my legs and arms. I swear I don't even have to shave as often. Then I smear on lotion. My makeup goes on so smoothly, too.

Other posts indicated there are knockoffs out there that aren't nearly as effective.

Now I'll get off my soapbox. No, I do not own stock in SALUXCLOTH.com. It's the best $5 you'll ever spend.

When I saw your post, even though I was ready to shut down my computer, I had to respond.

Before my daughters were born my late husband and I always used Oil of Olay. My daughters grew up using Oil of Olay. We all smelled good.

My oldest daughter sometimes still uses it as does my youngest daughter.

I think it is a good product. I use Hydroshield now because I've been using it since my husband died.

I remember my mom using Olay Beauty Fluid for years, when I was a kid. I used it for awhile many, many years ago. At one point, I did try some other Olay products and just didn't have very good luck with them.

Love the Regenerist Micro-sculpting for night. I buy it at Costco --- 2 jars for $38. It's normally about $25 in CVS. Works as well or better than anything else.

I use Foaming Face Wash in sensitive to wash my make up off at night. I have been using that for years and so far, knock wood, I have had no breakouts. I did try the Regenerist line of cleansers and moisturizer and broke out in cystic acne. I normally never break out. My friend tried it also and she broke out in cystic acne also.

I remember the ORIGINAL OOO pink Beauty Fluid in the square glass jar...it was very thin and my mother used it every day--and at night NIVEA in the blue round metal tins. (btw--is the Original still even made/available...I wonder...hhmmmm).

I did not start using skincare until my 40's..it was actually a suggestion from a friend that I try OOO Regenerist...and I still don't know if I should have ""blessed her or cursed her""!! j/k

(It was all downhill after that--I too became a skin-care junkie..WHO KNEW there were so many lotions/potions!)

But I am now thinking mother DID know best...but then again--our mothers did not have the (too) many options we women have today. It was not so much that ""simplicity is a virtue"" but more

the fact that it was either OoO or VASELINE back then!! heh

I've used a couple serums that last quite a while and work well. I've also used the dupe for philosophy's micro derm pell the 2 step system and have really enjoyed that as well. I do feel the prices are quite high for drugstore, but I've been happy with these items.
