Oil of Olay has been the moisturizer of choice for millions of women through the years and now from the trusted name of Olay comes a new line of anti-aging products designed to diminish the signs of aging by exfoliating and regenerating new skin cells.

Regenerist contains an Amino-Peptide complex that encourages exfoliation of dead skin cells and the generation of new cells. Unlike harsh chemical peels and dermabrasion, Regenerist is good for your skin and maintains the moisture barrier, allowing for deep moisturizing as well as speeding up the skin’s natural regeneration process. The result is younger-looking skin without irritation.

This is what Olay has to say about Regenerist:

In a recent study among 190 women ages 35-60, women who used Olay Regenerist for eight weeks noticed anti-aging advantages over a typical moisturizer. The women noticed their fine lines, crow’s feet, and facial wrinkles becoming less noticeable and found skin softer, smoother, and better moisturized. And more than 80 percent reported that their skin felt better and, as a result, reported that they felt better about themselves.

I wrote a while back about my experiece with a trial sample of Olay Definity. At that time I wasn’t very complimentary, I had not seen results and that was what I was basing my review on.

Well, it’s a pretty good-sized sample and even after I used it for about a week and saw no results, I kept applying it here and there when my face felt dry or if I thought of it. Olay Definity does have a very nice scent and leaves your skin with an especially silky feel. I figured, at least its a good moisturizer.

It was about two days ago I noticed something subtle. My face did seem brighter. I might not go so far as to say “luminous” but then I am not given to exaggeration. So, let’s say I noticed a brightening and maybe a clarity I hadn’t seen before. That spurred me to do a few more ample applications from the last of the sample.

So, I returned to my co-worker Shawn and asked if she noticed anything and this time she agreed there was a change. She still doesn’t want her Olay Definity Mousse and this time I took her up on her offer to give it to me (my sample now being spent).

So, when I am wrong, I admit it. I still think it took far too long for me to notice results. It may be that others see results more quickly or that I am just impatient. In any case, I think if you have the patience to wait for it, you will see some changes in overall skin brightness and clarity as well as more even skin tone.

Some time back I did a post on free samples available on the net and I told you that I signed up to receive some. One of the samples I received was a small (.24 oz) tube of Olay Definity.

Definity is a new product in Olay’s anti-aging line. The product is touted as being able to penetrate 10 layers of skin to fade discolorations and even out skin tones, diminish fine lines and wrinkles and make skin more “luminous”.

The cream has a lovely scent and it feels wonderful after you put it on, leaving skin feeling smooth and soft. The morning after my first application, I didn’t see any difference, except that my skin did seem more hydrated. I resolved that I would use it daily until the sample tube was gone. While I didn’t expect my face to light up or glow in the dark, I was hoping to see some difference after several days. For the next week, I carefully watched some freckle-type spots and the fine lines near the eyes and was unable to perceive any difference.

When I told a friend at work that I was trying Definity and asked if she saw any changes in my skin, she offered to give me the full-size product she had recently purchased. She had tried it and was not impressed by any difference in her skin. She also felt it was too expensive to continue to buy without seeing results. I declined her offer as I had meanwhile carefully read the product packaging and realized it says that it takes 8 weeks for you to notice your luminosity. I also read that it will make your skin “more flawless” - a strange claim, since if your skin was already flawless, it would be foolish to apply any product and risk disrupting that state.

Perhaps if I invested the 8 weeks, I would experience more results. I suspect that most women will abandon any product that doesn’t provide some results within a few days. I have read good things about this product and find that some women are experiencing the type of skin-tone changes that it claims to effect.

I believe that every woman’s skin is different and no product is for every woman. If your experience with this product is different from mine, please let me know.

What price beauty? How does free sound? Many companies offer free samples and usually there is no real catch, although sometimes they will request you complete a survey or a questionnaire on the product you sampled.

At this site, there’s a long list of free sample offers with little required. To drop a few names, how about Olay, Sephora and Covergirl? I checked out quite a few of them and they all seem legitimate. In fact, I completed a request for my own free sample of a couple of products. A few of the offers are really contests you enter to win a free product, but again, the entry requires only that you complete a short survey.
