As the excitement builds up, with the arrival of OLAY Regenerist in the country, I decided that it’s time to let you guys in on my own experience with testing some of the products included in the roster. Slated to be launched mid-November, OLAY plans to start of with five (5) products from the Regenerist line, which will be exclusive to Watson’s Stores until January 2009.

I reckon each deserves their own 15-minute fame, so tonight I’m putting the spotlight on the “star” of the lot, the OLAY Regenerist Regenerating Serum (Micro-Sculpting Serum). I reckon this one plays a huge role in optimising and maximising the efficacy of the Regenerist line. I’ll tell you why later on. Moreover, it’s packed with Olay’s exclusive amino-peptide complex, which is proven to harness the skin’s natural cellular repair abilities to regenerate and rejuvenate, plus potent anti-oxidants and hydrators to protect and deeply nourish, respectively. Basically, the serum has taken on the functions of a laser without the, er, laser. (Get it?)

The serum contains two (2) kinds of Amino-peptides which work deeply in the skin surface level and enhance its natural renewal process, meanwhile helps make your skin firmer and more elastic, and visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Me with a squeaky clean face. Washed it using the OLAY White Radiance Foaming Cleanser then toned it with Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner.

Squeezed a small amount of the serum on my index finger so you guys can see what it looks like. Light, semi-translucent substance with a soft scent, too.

Me pleading, “please make my pores a wee bit smaller and, oh, though I AM getting a bit older, make the lines go away for now. They can come when I’m 40 or something.”

The serum is part of the suggested Daily Treatment. It’s formulated gently enough to be used frequently. I normally apply it after showering in the morning even when I’m staying in (would apply the day cream if I’ll be stepping out of the house) and again at night, right before I apply the night cream and eye-lifting serum. This is what I mean by frequently.

Application is easy and has brilliant absorption. The serum has non-greasy texture and feels like silk on the skin. It’s so light that you’ll even forget that you have it on (even with the other two creams on).

OLAY Regenerist is perfect for women in their 30s through to 50s. It is, after all, OLAY’s premier anti-aging line. Perhaps women in the their late 20s who wish to reduce the obvious signs of aging can consider using the Regenerist line, too.

If you can’t wait till November to try it out, I suggest that you check out the OLAY Regenerist One Day Pre-Sale on Saturday, 18 October 2008. better yet, sign up and be on the Priority list.

Note: The packaging is different from the one they’ll be releasing here in the Philippine market. This one with all the red is for the China market. To see how ours will look like, check this post: Welcome the OLAY Regenerist Line in Manila.
