Overview

Olay Regenerist is a fairly new product in the well-known Olay family of skin care treatments. It is available through a variety of drug stores and other retailers both online and at brick and mortar locations. The Olay Regenerist line has a handful of products including a 14 Day Skin Intervention, a Daily Regenerating Serum, a Regenerist Filling + Sealing Wrinkle Treatment, a Daily Thermal Mini-Peel, a Thermal Contour and Lift At Home Treatment, and an Eye Lifting Serum, among many others.

Product Details

The Olay Regenerist 14 Day Skin Intervention is a two phase process during which each phase lasts one week. It claims to give the skin significant firmness and a reinvigorated look as an alternative to a painful and costly surgical face lift. The Daily Regenerating Serum has amino-peptides to help regenerate damaged skin. The Olay Regenerist Filling + Sealing Wrinkle Treatment penetrates the wrinkle surface to immediately reduce the appearance of wrinkles and also seals in a moisturizer so that the effects last all day. The Daily Thermal Mini-Peel claims to regenerate surface skin just like a professional peel. The Thermal Contour and Life At Home Treatment infuses moisture, increases natural production of collagen and visibly lifts the skin. This product was inspired by professional thermal facelifts. The Eye Lifting Serum is made to smooth and brighten the eye area and contains a concentrated form of amino peptides. All of the Olay Regenerist products have a full ingredient list available on the website and you can also purchase the products directly from Olay. There are twenty products in the Regenerist line in total.

The Good

  • Olay Regenerist products are widely available and reasonably priced.
  • Olay Regenerist products are made by a reputable manufacturer.
  • Olay Regenerist has twenty different products available that are inspired by professional spa and surgical anti-wrinkle treatments.

The Bad

  • The ingredients in Olay Regenerist are common in other mainstream drug store anti-wrinkle treatments so they may not be extremely effective in creating noticeable results.
  • Olay Regenerist products do not contain powerful ingredients backed by scientific data such as Hyaluronic Acid.
  • Olay Regenerist does not have online customer testimonials or before and after photos to demonstrate effectiveness.
  • Although it is well known, the Olay brand tends to focus more on moisturizers and other general skin treatment products, and less on scientifically fighting wrinkles specifically.

The Bottom Line

Olay Regenerist products are well-known and widely available. They are reasonably priced and although the Olay website does not specify a money back guarantee, many retailers are willing to accept returns if the product does not work as it claims to. Olay Regenerist does contain amino peptides which are effective in treating the effects of aging on the skin. It would be better if Olay chose to use stronger and more powerful ingredients in its Regenerist products. One would think that customer testimonials should be available through Olay however, the website does not post any at this time.

Our top pick for 2008:  Dermapril-SP

Dermapril-SP was rated the best-in-class performer, with a cutting-edge formula and results visible immediately after use. Matrixyl 3000™, the primary active ingredient in Dermapril-SP, is backed by clinical research that showed reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of as much as 33% after two months of use. Additionally, the formula contains the European miracle ingredient Argatensyl™, which creates an immediate tightening effect on applied areas, making results visible within minutes of use.

The treatment helps the skin regain a more youthful biochemical makeup by supporting the natural production of three building blocks – Collagen, Fibronectin and Hyaluronic Acid. The result is a rapid rejuvenation, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and other cosmetic signs of age caused by sun exposure, smoking, stress, and other common factors.

In clinical trials, Matrixyl 3000™ decreased the appearance of wrinkles by as much as 33% over a six week period. With the immediate tightening benefits of Argatensyl™, this formula has a completely unique combination of short-term cosmetic results as well as sustained, cumulative benefits to the skin. Common reported results include smoothing and firming; softer skin; diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and healthier looking, glowing skin. Based on the high cost and quality of the ingredients, Dermapril-SP is reasonably priced. Customer satisfaction seems high and Dermapril-SP offers a risk-free trial, so users can evaluate the product prior to paying the full retail price.
