Overview

Regenerist is a line of skin care treatments developed by the brand Olay (founded in the 1940s), that offers a total of eight different product lines. Olay endeavors to address every (woman's) skin type and concern. These "anti-aging" facial products claim to "regenerate the skin's appearance at a cellular level." The goal of this modern skin care regimen is to provide consumers with an at-home alternative to more serious/pricey cosmetic procedures such as Microderm Abrasion, Botox and chemical peels.

The Olay Regenerist product line offers several skin treatments that aim to assist in regular skin exfoliation, hydration and the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. The full Regenerist line consists of a Daily Serum, Contour and Lift Treatment, Eye DermaPod Anti-Aging System, MicroSculpting Cream, Microderm Abrasion Peel System, Targeted Tone Enhancer, Thermal Skin Polisher, Touch of Sun, Anti-Aging Lip Treatment, Deep Hydration Regenerating Cream, Eye Lifting Serum, MicroExfoliating Wet Cleansing Cloths, Daily Regenerating Cleanser, Night Recovery Moisturizing Treatment and UV Defense Regenerating Lotion. These skin care products contain active ingredients like an exclusive Amino-Peptide Complex, which potentially helps to regenerate damaged skin. The Olay Regenerist product line is non-comedogenic and commonly found in most drugstores around the country

Product Details

The Olay Regenerist skin care line is primarily marketed towards women who desire assistance with common skin aging afflictions such as fine lines, sun damage, facial sagging, wrinkles and collagen loss. These products aim to increase facial skin exfoliation and new skin cell turnover. The desired result is a fresh, hydrated complexion with improved firmness and overall radiance. Regenerist treatments contain the active component known as Amino-Peptide Complex. This primary ingredient supposedly helps regenerate damaged skin and exposes fresh skin in the process.

The Good

  • Some free samples and coupons are offered on the official Olay website.
  • Olay is a cosmetic brand that has been around for many years.
  • A convenient store locater is offered via the website to assist potential customers with finding a vendor that sells Olay Regenerist products.

The Bad

  • Olay Regenerist skin treatments are not offered on the official website.
  • A money-back guarantee is absent from the Olay website.
  • Complete ingredient lists cannot be found on the website.
  • No customer testimonials on the official website.
  • Olay Regenerist skin treatments do not appear to be dermatologist-endorsed.
  • Some ingredients found in Olay Regenerist products may irritate the complexions of some users.

The Bottom Line

Needless to say, most individuals have at least heard of the Olay brand. Since this cosmetic/skin care line is found in most common drugstores, it's generally not difficult to come by. While availability is most likely not an issue for most people, the notion that Olay Regenerist products do not come with a money-back guarantee might be a problem for some. It would be nice to see some skin specialist recommendations for Olay Regenerist on the official website, or at least a few customer testimonials. Unfortunately it's not easy to tell if the "anti-aging" Regenerist line really offers anything unique at all that will truly benefit aging complexions. This may be more of a general skin care line, as opposed to one targeted specifically at reducing wrinkles.

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.
