P&G Beauty & Grooming scientists presented research at the AAAS Annual Meeting (Chicago, Feb. 12-16) that offers evidence of science’s role in evolving beauty and grooming product efficacy. This year’s meeting theme observes the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth, affording a unique perspective for examining the company’s use of advanced science and technology to help individuals feel and look their best. Five studies–with subjects ranging from color optics to skin aging genomics to razor engineering–will be on display.

“The way people have managed their personal beauty and grooming routines continues to evolve, and scientists at P&G Beauty & Grooming are constantly driven to apply science insights to bring more advanced products to the market,” said Steve Shiel, PhD, Associate Director, P&G Beauty & Grooming Science. “The AAAS Annual Meeting provides a premier forum for us to share insights with science peers and hear feedback that can lead to new hypothesis.”

The following research summaries provide illustrations of the rigor brought to bear on product innovation at P&G Beauty & Grooming.

My Favorite Product to Use After Face Waxing

I do all of my face waxing at home, which is convenient and cheap, but I still have to deal with red skin for long after the waxing. In fact, until I found my favorite after face waxing product, even when I waxed my brows, they would be red for at least 2 days. When you’re waxing your upper lip, the last thing you want is for the world to know it.

If you have sensitive skin, or deal with red skin after face waxing, I found the solution for you. I always wax before bed, so there is no chance that I’ll have to leave my house. Then, after waxing I apply The Body Shop’s Aloe Cooling Body Gel (buy direct) right over the areas that have been waxed. By morning, you can’t even tell I waxed the night before. (That never happened before using this product!)

Olay Pro-X Anti-Aging Starter Protocol

Olay’s starter kit for their Pro-X anti-aging line consists of the Pro-X Age Repair Lotion with SPF 30 (1oz), Pro-X Wrinkle Smoothing Cream (1oz) and the Pro-X Eye Restoration Complex (0.3oz ). The three-part daily anti-aging regimen promises to repair the skin’s moisture barrier and spur the renewal of outer skin layers in as little as 28 days.

Using any three step formula is bound to be a lot more work than a single application treatment. However, you can adjust use for this starter kit in any way that best fits your schedule, apart from being truly worth every minute you spend applying it. Personally, I use the Eye Restoration Complex and the Age Repair Lotion in the morning. During evenings, I apply the Eye Restoration Complex again (since eyes have been my problem area ever since) and follow up with the Wrinkle Soothing Cream. I find the results amazing, to say the least, and have since moved on from the starter kit to stocking up on each of these products.

Pro-X Age Repair Lotion

The lotion, designed for morning application, shields your skin from UVA & UVB exposure, a major cause of damage and wrinkles. It’s very light and odorless, making it an ideal moisturizer, even allowing you to wear make up over it with no problem.

Pro-X Wrinkle Smoothing Cream

Designed for evening use, this non-greasy moisturizer works amazingly well when applied to the neck and face areas. Used over time, it smoothens overall skin texture while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Pro-X Eye Restoration Complex

This specialized treatment is meant for use twice a day (AM and PM) and works to keep the area around the eyes well hydrated. It diminishes dark circles, reduces puffiness and improves the appearance of crow’s feet. So far, reviewers who tried the started pack regard the Eye Restoration Complex as the best product in the set and I couldn’t agree more - it simply works.

Check out two of the large number of reviews for this product from Amazon:

With these kinds of products, it’s always a wise decision to approach with some caution. A lot of them use sometimes harsh chemicals to perform their work leaving the user red and sore.

The Olay Anti-Aging Starter Protocol, I’m very happy to say, works exactly as advertised with no problems. For starters, this is not a fragrance-heavy product like some I’ve tried in the past when putting up with a strong perfume is an overwhelming experience.
Application is a delight because it’s not heavy or greasy but a light and pleasing texture.

How about the results? After almost a month of use, I find my skin smoother and definitely firmer although I can’t report on the wrinkle-smooth effects because (thankfully) I don’t have any wrinkles. If it works as advertised and as it has so far, I will definitely continue its use.

Well, I’m getting to that age where “anti-aging” takes on a whole new level of importance. So I was glad to receive this item.

The good news is, it really works! My skin feels better, looks better, and as the result of another review I took the test of photographing myself and yeah, my improved skin even seems to be apparent in photos. ;)

Anti aging skin care treatment is easy to find, these days. It’s a booming business and every cosmetic company wants in on it. The problem is that most of the lotions, creams and other solutions found in department stores and “seen on TV” are mostly ineffective. Some may even be dangerous.
