Customer Reviews of Olay Regenerist Night Recovery Moisturizing Treatment, 1.7-Ounce Jar
Customer Review: Caused severe breakouts
Summary: 1 Stars
I typically have very good skin. It is on the dry side but I do not have acne -- in fact I break out very rarely (just the occasional hormonal pimple or two). When I first opened this cream, I noticed the fragrance was unpleasantly strong, but I put it on anyway. When I got up in the morning, I had horrible red splotches and whiteheads all over my face. Some of them were even painful cystic-type sores beneath the skin on my chin and jawline. I stopped using the cream right away, and I haven't gotten any new pimples, but the old ones are taking days to clear up. It totally ruined my week to have my face covered in painful pimples and crusty sores. Thankfully I didn't have any big events to go to, or I would have been traumatized.
On the plus side, I called the 800 number on the back of the jar, and the Olay representative was very courteous and helpful. She said they would refund my money (since Amazon doesn't take returns on opened cosmetics). I have used the eye serum without problems but I will not try the face creams again. Just not worth the risk.
Customer Review: Great product for those of us "of an age"
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to laugh when I see the 20-something reviews complaining they don't see a difference. There's no difference to be made for 20-something skin - the most important thing is sunscreen at that age. Don't waste your money on a night cream that doesn't really do anything for you.
That being said, all of us older gals DO need something that does make a difference. I became hooked on this product several months ago. I cannot go a day without it. Would be one of my stranded-on-a-desert-island choices. Makes my skin feel ultra-smooth and the crinkling I am seeing now in my neck is much less noticeable when I use the cream - not gone away but much less noticeable. Thanks, Olay!
Customer Review: An ok night cream.
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm 24 but I've been taking extra good care of my skin since I was a teenager so I'm always on the look for good age prevention beauty products! I recently decided to invest in a good night cream and noticed this one while shopping at Target but was hesitant and didn't end up buying it. When I saw that I can get it for half the price here on Amazon I decided I might as well try it because of the price and I also ended up getting the Olay Regenerest Eye Illuminating Cream (which I love!) I got this in the mail only a few days ago but so far it seems like a pretty good hydrating cream. I only have two complaints with it so far - 1.) the scent. Unlike all the other reviews I don't care for the scent at all. It seems a tad overpowering for a night cream. You'd think they'd make it a little more subtle. Also, the smell reminds me of a grandma. Or this aweful hand lotion my mom used to use in the early '90s! But I guess this cream is targeted for someone a little older then I am? and 2.) everytime I put it on, it stings my eyes a little and they go red! And I don't even get it anywhere near my eye area. But other then that it's a non-greasy, extra moisturizing night cream thats worth giving a try if you haven't already. Because of my two complaints above, I think I will continue to look for a better night cream for me. I think I will try the L'oreal Skin Genesis Night Cream next. Customer Review: great product for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
In the past I've used night creams that I get as gifts-with-purchase from department stores (primarily Lancome). If I could afford it, I'd use Lancome exclusively. Since those products are just too expensive, I thought I'd give Olay Regenerist a try.
I bought the night recovery cream along with the eye serum, face serum and daily moisturizer. I'm not crazy about the eye serum and the daily moisturizer has a strong fragrance. I do like the night cream though. It is very hydrating and makes my skin feel soft. I can't say I love this night cream though. It's thick and gummy in substance. However, I think it's a very good product for the price.
Update: I'm now using the regenerist micro sculpting cream and I find that it's not as hydrating as this night cream. Plus, I'm not really seeing a huge difference in my skin. So, I'll probably go back to the night cream once I finish up the micro-sculpting cream.
Customer Review: Good product, no miracles
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been using this product for about 18 mos. The smell is fabulous, and it feels great on my skin. Absorbes quickly and is not greasy. Does not make my face breakout, and is great for very dry skin. As far as any other results, I haven't seen any changes.
