Olay Cleanse Refresh & Glow Cleansing Toner, All Skin Types, 200 ml

Product Information

Based on the formula, you’ll likely notice a temporary plumping with the cream thanks to the combination of the silicone dimethicone with plenty of humectants (glycerin, panthenol, sodium hyaluronate, etc.). However, keep in mind these effects are transient — as soon as the product is rinsed off, lines and wrinkles will return to normal size. Olay Regenerist Deep Hydration Regenerating Cream is an anti-aging face cream that is said to keep your skin moisturized and immediately soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles. One of the key ingredients in this cream is niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3 that plays a vital role in cellular metabolism. This means that niacinamide provides skin cells with the energy needed to perform important processes, such as DNA repair and cell turnover. Niacinamide also has the ability to repair the skin barrier and improve skin moisture, as well as reduce inflammation, blotchiness, hyperpigmentation, acne, and wrinkling. Another key ingredient is palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, a type of messenger peptide that provides anti-aging benefits by signaling to cells to produce more collagen. Ultimately, this helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. There are two very effective humectants in the Olay Regenerist Deep Hydration Regenerating Cream: glycerin and panthenol (provitamin B5). A humectant is a hygroscopic substance that has a molecular structure with several hydrophilic (water loving) groups. This structure allows humectants to attract moisture and draw that moisture into the upper layers of skin, thereby improving hydration. Another key ingredient in the Olay Regenerist Deep Hydration Regenerating Cream is allantoin, which is a very gentle and effective moisturizing ingredient. Additionally, allantoin is a keratolytic, which means it has the ability to smooth skin through exfoliation of the top layer of dead skin cells. Allantoin can help to increase skin smoothness, aid in wound healing, and promote cell proliferation and longevity. Lastly, Olay Regenerist Deep Hydration Regenerating Cream provides your skin with protection against free radicals due to the antioxidants in green tea leaf extract and the lipid soluble antioxidant vitamin E. The formula also provides sun protection with four chemical sunscreens — avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene — that provide broad-spectrum SPF 25 protection.

Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Night Serum overcomes the issues that the Night Moisturizer has thanks to its opaque plastic bottle with a dropper dispenser that protects retinol from exposure to light and air.

HOW TO USE

The Olay Eye Deep Hydrating Eye Gel combines all of the benefits of a lightweight gel with a moisturizing and nourishing eye cream to create a unique, hybrid product. This formula was developed to maintain a lightweight texture that melts into the skin with ease, while also delivering a range of skin loving ingredients. According to the brand, this product specifically targets signs of fatigue that can affect the eye area that makes skin appear duller, drier and less radiant. But what ingredients are responsible for these benefits? The formula behind the Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel contains supercharged hyaluronic acid, peptides, pro-vitamin B5, witch hazel and cucumber extract. Each of these ingredients benefit the skin in different ways. For example, peptides are amino acid precursors which work with the skin’s essential processes to boost the production of collagen and elastin. Unfortunately, as we age, the production of these two compounds begins to slow down, which can lead to fine lines, dullness and fatigue. Using peptides in your skincare routine helps to supplement the loss of collagen and elastin, delaying these signs of aging. One reason is the higher concentrations of sunscreen ingredients providing SPF 40 protection (although this moisturizer contains the same four chemical sunscreen ingredients, which aren’t as safe as mineral sunscreens). A good place to start when selecting your toner is determining your skin type. Common skin types include: Bottom Line: A facial moisturizer for all skin types that combines the “collagen peptide” with niacinamide and hydrating ingredients.

Dimethicone forms a thin, invisible film on the surface of the skin that helps to disguise lines and wrinkles, while humectants bind moisture on the skin. The extra hydration is the extra volume, which effectively plumps out the skin and makes lines and wrinkles less noticeable. Olay Foaming Face Wash is designed for those who have sensitive skin but need a facial cleanser that provides them with a deep-down clean. This cleanser is part of the Olay skin care collection of products, which range from anti-aging products to cosmetics that are marketed by Olay's parent company, Proctor and Gamble. Olay Foaming Face Wash contains none of the ingredients that typically irritate sensitive or acne-prone skin, such as harsh soaps and fragrances, though it is still possible to experience an allergic reaction when using this product. But if you have been looking for a dermatologist-tested facial cleanser for your sensitive skin care kit, then this product may be a good choice. If you are under the care of a dermatologist, asking a professional opinion about whether the ingredients in Olay Foaming Face Wash are appropriate for your skin situation, will help you make a better-informed decision about this product and possible alternatives.

Alcohol is the reason that toners have gotten a bad reputation through the years,” says Dr. Corey L. Hartman, a board certified dermatologist and the founder of Skin Wellness Dermatology in Birmingham, Alabama. “Alcohol is a harsh astringent that causes excessive dryness and triggers rebound oil production. If it makes your skin feel too tight after use, then move on to another product.” One ingredient that Olay loves to include in their formulations is niacinamide. Niacinamide is the amide form of vitamin B3 (niacin) that provides many benefits to the skin. Housed in a little red jar, there’s no doubt you’ve seen the brand’s most iconic moisturizer — Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream — lining the shelves of any drugstore you walk into. The brand claims that this cream will visibly reduce wrinkles and fine lines starting day 1. But is this true?
