Customer Reviews of Olay Regenerist Night Recovery Moisturizing Treatment, 1.7 Ounce
Customer Review: I call it Olay Regenerist Night Recovery Smurf Paste
Summary: 2 Stars
I am going to be completely honest here: this stuff looks and smells like someone took Vanity Smurf, pureed him, and put his remains in a jar. It is, for lack of a better description, a tacky blue mess with a hint of floral odor. The texture and feel of it can best be described as warmed lard. After applying this product my skin felt like cyber skin. I don't really want my face to feel like a real doll. Last I checked human skin wasnt supposed to feel like high quality silicone. In parts of my face it sat on my skin and although I couldn't see the smurfy goo, I could feel it... It made me feel like I had a heavy foundation on (despite the fact I used a spare half pea sized amount for my whole face). I resisted the overwhelming urge to wash it the smurf off, and left it over night. In the morning I had several plugged pores and white heads. Yay.
This stuff is pretty nasty and I didnt feel at all like I was taking care of myself when I put it on. It was not at all creamy or luxurious or even pleasent. It was like spreading congealed bacon grease on my face, nasty.
I am giving it 2 stars ONLY because my normally red skin was much less red after using it, which is pretty darned rare.
I wish I had bought something else. I am going to contact Olay and see if I can get my money back. With the plugged pores I can't see giving it a few more nights. I also purchased the SPF 15 lotion and the eye serum and I'm not even going to open them so I can return them and get my money back. I opened the night cream first so I could get a feel for the products. I got a feel. I don't like what I felt.
Customer Review: I THINK I love it???
Summary: 4 Stars
Well, since I have never taken care of my skin until the past three months, and that I have lost over 50 pounds, it is kind of hard for me to judge exactly what results I am getting. I have definite crows feet and laugh lines, but I think those are due more to weight loss than anything. My skin has always been very tight. I've been very lucky and never had skin problems like zits, dry or oily spots. Very healthy normal skin.
I have been using the Regenerist Night Recovery Moisturizing Treatment for the past two months, and on the general part of my face I feel it has been great. Those wrinkly spots? Not so much, but that is not what it is made to do. I probably need to do a bit more research to see what will help more in those areas. I do not necessarily feel like I have had a mini face lift every night. That may a bit of an exaggeration of a claim, but the moisturizer overnight is great.
I do love the automatic monthly refill program. It comes to me, no shipping, and at a discount. I have the option to change frequency, or to discontinue at any time. (However, the price has gone up each time it is sent to me. I guess that is due to their supplier? It is not nearly what you would pay in the store, so it is still a great deal.) There was no fee to sign up either. It is a win win!
All in all, I have really loved what the cream has done for my skin. Maybe those wrinkles will just have to stay "laugh lines"!
Customer Review: It really seems to work
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm usually a bit skeptical when it comes to creams that promise much, but delivers little. And yes, for the elitists, I *have* spent $200+ on premium designer labels of regenerating cream, including the overrated Chanel Sublimage series of products. Using the Olay Regenerist Night Recovery Moisturizing cream, I have noticed a decrease in the appearance of fine lines under my eyes. It's a fraction of the cost, and it has worked great for me. The weird lavender color is a little off-putting at first, but the cream goes on smooth and is absorbed quickly (someone said it feels like lard...NOT true...I'd like to smear lard on the person who said it, because obviously she's never gotten her hands dirty enough to know what real lard on the skin feels like. I believe that same person also touted her expensive $200+ products as being superior. Hey, if spending that much makes you feel superior, as opposed to spending a fraction of the cost to achieve the same or better results...that's called stupid).
To be used as reference, I am in my early 30s and keep my skin in good shape already with plenty of water, no alcohol, no smoking, and plenty of UV protection in the occasional times I spend time in the sun. The fine lines that I had been starting to notice are due to the inevitable effects of age, but this Olay product does a good job of halting (even though ultimately, I know it's a temporary thing) the aging process.
Customer Review: Nice; nice price
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought four products from this line--the Regenerating Lotion with UV, Daily Regenerating Serum, Night Recovery Moisturizing, and the Eye Serum. After two weeks of use, I'm pretty pleased. I'm skeptical by nature, and I wonder if anyone notices the change produced by skin products like these other than the user. But, I think this stuff does make the skin around my eyes look smoother and lighter, and it certainly moisturizes without being greasy. I have pretty sensitive skin, and I haven't had any redness or irritation, and certainly no pimples. I also don't notice any scent. I find eye creams especially irritating (Clinique was AWFUL for me!) but the eye serum is very soothing. I'm pleased with the results and certainly the price!
Update 9/13/09
Well, I spoke too soon about not having trouble with pimples. Lo and behold, about six weeks after I began using all these products I noticed a few dreaded little red bumps, plus one larger one right in the center of my nose. Ugh! I've never had acne, even in the worst of the teenage years. After much trial and error over a couple of months, I think I've identified this item as the culprit. I notice it doesn't say that it's "non-comedogic" on the label, which I think basically means it won't block pores. I haven't had an issue with the other items in the Regenerist line, though, so I'd continue to recommend them.
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.
