 Silky and Smooth |

I got my Olay Pro-X Anti-Aging Starter Protocol products a couple weeks ago and I've been using them morning and night. In the morning I use the Eye Restoration Complex and the Age Repair Lotion with SPF 30. The eye cream is silky and smooth. The age repair lotion hydrates skin and protects it from the sun and also helps to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles.
In the evening I apply the Eye Restoration Complex again and this seems to banish those dark circles, puffiness and crow's feet. And a plus, it reduces excess under-eye fluids. My last step at night is to apply the Wrinkle Smoothing Cream (which is also silky and smooth). It smoothes uneven textures with moisture, combating those fine lines and wrinkles.
Although I've only been using the Pro-X Anti-Aging Starter Protocol products for a couple weeks I already feel a difference on my face. It's smoother and I think I have a nice glow. I've used many other Olay products in the past and loved them all, but these, for me at least, are the best so far. You can't beat silky and smooth, you really can't. |
My neighbor asked if I got Botox!!!!!

Background- I am 38 and have been told I look good for my age. I have olive and oily skin but not prone to breakouts. I do have some discoloration from many years out on the beach and have some fine lines around my eyes. I got Botox and IPL treatements a few years ago before my wedding and I loved the results however I cannot afford to do that on a regular basis and I don't want to end up with a freeze face as I call it. Too much Botox is not a good thing.
Fast Forward- The effects of my IPL and Botox treatments are long gone. I have tried many lines of beauty products, studied ingredients, etc. When I heard about Pro X, I decided to try it. For the price, it's really not bad considering what I have paid for dept. store brands. I had a $5 coupon and a $25 rebate so it was a $31 investment.
I have been using the "starter kit" for just about a month now and this is what I have observed:
*Tightening of skin around eyes/crowsfeet- yes, my neighbor asked my husband if I had got shot up with Botox! 2 other friends of mine wanted to know what I was using on my skin. They said I look refreshed.
*My skin is more even toned and pores appear smaller- I say "appear" because your pores can't shrink and don't buy anything that says it will SHRINK pores. Also, my skin has better clarity and it's more even toned. This product does not claim to cure hyperpigmentation but it really has improved mine!
*My skin is moisturized, glows- I have oily skin and these products are not oily at all. Also, I have psoriasis so fragrance is a NO NO! I don't need a break out on my face. I also like the fact that the product seems to absorb rather than SIT on the surface of my skin. It just feels good on my skin!
All and all, I think this product, especially the eye cream and night cream are exceptional! The daytime moisturizer is great but I prefer a tinted moisturizer (my preference- MD Skincare Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 20, worth every penny! ).
I don't use Olay cleansers as I prefer Cetaphil, Witch Hazel and Baking Soda (YEP) for exfoliation. My experience with cleansers is simple is better. Also I believe their cleanser have fragrance.
I will continue to use Olay Pro X religiously! Everyone will have different results of course but my experience has been nothing short of exceptional and NO MORE NEEDLES! It's the first time I have written a product review and this one I felt was worth sharing. |

| One thing I would NEVER skimp on is my moisturizer. I've been an Estee Lauder girl for years. I tried this kit and have been amazed at what it has done for my face. I am almost 60 years old. The starter kit lasted for 2 months for me. I use it twice a day. The skin around my eyes is so tight compared to what it was that it's hard to believe. The face creams have made a difference in the look and feel of my skin too. This kit, combined with the Regenerist Sculpting Cream for the jaw line only, have made me an Olay convert!! Amazon has the best price around. Order it and give it a try. You won't be sorry!!! If you don't like it for some reason, Olay will refund your money as long as you've used it for 30 days. I don't normally write reviews, but on this one I had to pass it along. Amazing stuff and reasonably priced. |
I Look Better in Pictures Now

Have you ever looked at a photo of yourself shortly after it was taken and said, "I don't look like that."? You look and look at that picture, shake your head and wonder, because that's definitely not the person you see in the mirror every morning. I mean really, those tiny wrinkles around my eyes, they're not on that girl in the mirror. The lines above my smile, she doesn't have those either.
The itty bitty wrinkles between my eyebrows, not on her face, I've looked. So what gives? How come the girl in the photos looks older than the girl in the mirror?
It seems we see the person in the mirror differently than the one in the photo. That mirror person, I think, is the person we want to be and the photo person is the person we are. Well, looks wise that is. I looked long and hard at that photo, then went up to my bathroom and looked long and hard at my reflection and all of a sudden the photo person was becoming the mirror person and that just wasn't on. I wanted the mirror person to become the photo person.
And now she is on her way. I've been using the Olay Pro-X Anti-Aging Starter Protocol for a month now and I have seen a definite improvement in that photo person. I really do look better in pictures now. Yes, the product is a bit pricey, but it's very worth it, because those photos are going to be around for a very long time. |
WONDERFUL non-greasy skin care product

I am familiar with many skin care lines- Lancome, Nivea, Clinique, Estee Lauder, Elizabeth Arden, La Prairie, to name a few. Sure, they are all nice, but the price can be high.
About a year ago, a reputable group tested many of these skin care creams. The overall winner was Olay ( Regenerist I believe?)-big surprise. It won the No 1 spot over some very pricey creams. And they did make the point that high price did not mean better (they even tested the extremely expensive $250/oz creams).
A few years ago, I started trying out more & more of the Olay products. They have gone way beyond that pink lotion from the 70's to 80's. Their skin care lines are lovely, rich, and absorb well into the skin. And they are quite remarkable. Their Definity & Regenerist lines are terrific.
I was curious to try this new addition to their lineup: Pro-X. I am very pleased with it. As my skin has had some bad reactions to some high priced creams-discontinued due to rash or comedones (a.k.a. bumps or pimples) , I usually patch test a bit on my arm first a dot or so). If OK 24 hours later, I'll put it on my face and eyelids. So, I am happy to report that this is well tolerated & quite nice. No problems at all.
I follow the directions for day & night use. Although, I have found that putting Olay's Regenerist under the ProX night care may provide added benefit. With this ProX line it is possible that the results might be quite good overall. (I'll try to update in a few weeks.) I have also applied this cream after using an exfoliant (other brand) and am quite pleased to note a new softness to my face. That's always nice!
I am especially pleased that a small amount of this cream covers the skin nicely and is well absorbed. There is no greasy mask feeling to this at all-no smears on the pillow, either. So, if something isn't thick and greasy, I am more likely to use it steadily.
A word about the packaging- I like the Red containers-more importantly, they are easy to store, open, & apply.
In Alaska, it can be pretty dry in the winter. This is a great cream to combat winter dryness!
I am very glad that fine skincare is accessible and more affordable!
With skin care-high price does not mean better!
Later on: Face looks good. No intolerance to product. No rash.
I read a few other reviews. I'd like to add that I have been very diligent taking care of my skin since the teen years. Always used a good moisturizer. (not every night, but more so mid 20's). I guess I got spooked by a TV ad that said "For that skin over 25"-horrors!
Even so, I would say there is a significant nice soft feel to the skin after exfoliation (a few times a week) & application of Regenerist serum, prior to use of Pro X (again, not every day). I'm familiar with most skin care lines and I find this to be quite good. Price certainly is an issue-especially these days! I am glad that Olay has expanded their line.
