I saw this at costco with the claim that you'll see results in 4 days. It's supposed to firm up all the sagging places. It's currently having a $7 off coupon from the member passport book, so it reduces the price down to $30 for two jars. So I could not resist...
I'm on my 3rd day of use, and must admit that so far so good. The area above my NL lines seems to flatten out nicely.
I like the smell of this cream, too. I tried the other Olay Regenerist before, and didn't care for the starchy feel or the smell. This one is different.
The jar is burgundy red with a gold lid. The cream texture is very smooth and white. It absorbs rather easily. The instruction is to massage upwardly in a circular fashion. I try my best to follow this.
It doesn't mix well with some sunscreen. Applying certain sunscreen on top of this balls it up. I have to pat in my sunscreen instead of rubbing it on.
As anything purchased at costco, if I didn't like it, I'd return it. As of today, I like this one, and think I'll be keeping it. |

| I have just read the report on Olay's wrinkle cream...Olay regenerist is Unbelievably recommended.Considering its price, it's not a bad idea to try it. |

I saw that I goofed on the color of the lid. It's silver not gold. Minor detail. LOL
Day 5 - same results as Day 3. I still like the texture.
The only thing I don't like about it is it is hard to apply sunscreen on top of it. I think I use too much though. I'll try to use sparingly and see if the balling up problem subsides. |

Maybe use this cream at night, and a different lotion and sunscreen during the day?
Also, is this a copper peptide product? |

Thank you for posting the ingredients list, Bira!
From what I can tell, it's "big guns" are Niacinamide and Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4. Wish they hadn't horned fragrance into it, but it is Olay; whaddya gonna do...

| The fragrance is quite pleasant for me, but what I don't like is the ball-up effect with sunscreen (LRP SPF60). I tried just patting it on, and I still got flakes all over. I'm trying not to give up on it since I heard such great things about this, and I really have forever to try the product since I bought from costco. I want to stick with it for at least 60 days. |

| I may not stick with this cream for 60 days after all. The balling up bothers me. I don't want to hassle with it every morning. |

If the peptides in it have a long-term, cumulative effect in "resculpting" and firming, why not use it as an overnight cream, and use something else that works with the sunscreen and makeup in the morning?
I wish I could try a sample of this to see how my skin reacts; not up for investing in a full jar in case the fragrance or other ingredients irritate my skin.  |

I have really wanted to try this, but c'mon, what is with all of those parabens? Talk about a motherload! Their products always have a ton of them and I'm guessing it's to keep them on the shelves for awhile.
Olay makes some really nice stuff, but I wish they'd consider cleaning up their ingredients list a bit.
Glad to hear it's working for you. I've read nothing but good things about it. |

| Olay Regenerist now has a day lotion with SPF 50 that I use for daytime use and I use the Micro-sculpting cream at night time. |

| See results in 4 days? Olay? I think skin care must safe,it's the most important! If the product have a quick result on our face,I think you'd better think before you leap.I used its cleaning before,unsuitable for dry skin type. |

| I didn't notice any difference. I have now switched to SAS Anti-Aging and will wait to see how it works as I just started. |

| I think Olay likes to make outrageous claims to get your attention. I don't agree with results in 4 days. I did like it at first, but it was not a good cream to be used with sunscreen. Too thick maybe. So I was unable to continue using it to see what results I would really get in 4 weeks or 6 weeks. |

I really like the Total Effect and Regernerist. I believe it's all based on niacinamide. It does heal up my eczema like patches on my cheeks in 4 days! Nothing else had worked.
The ingredient is meant to repair the intracellular matrix on the surface of the skin and it does work.
However, I dislike the texture of the serums and the fragrance. |

| I second Olay Total effect and Regenerist, but too exaggerated to say it has effect in 4 days, actually they are good moisturers and anti-aging effects come slow. |

I've been using the Micro-Sculpting cream for about a week now and I don't see any changes. Will use the bottle up for sure, so maybe I just need a bit more time.
I put this under the Olay Night Recovery Moisturizing Treatment. Usually 30 minutes apart after washing face for the day.
It then goes on first thing in the morning after washing. I have no problems with sunscreen, since my makeup has it in it, I do not put on an extra layer before hand.
Again, its only been a week with no visible results. |

| I love learning about a new product and hear about different individual users' experiences. It is so true everyone's skin reacts differently. A product that works on one may not work on another. That's how the skincare companies get us! We always want to try new things. |

| I keep hearing about the benefits of this product! Its unreal for a drugstore brand. I'm heading into my late 20s and would like to keep on top of aging (hello, daily SPF 60) but Olay has always been way to heavy for me. I'm on a prescription retinol so I think I'll stick with that for quite some time. |
