The 2 step process is ingenious.

The 1 step peel doesn't work as well (glycolic acid peel). This 2 step product package by Olay gives you professional results and makes you look half a decade younger.

I thought it was a placebo effect until my husband tells me what I did to my skin and that I look a lot younger after he came back from his 2 week business trip in Asia.

After 3 weeks of use, I notice a lot smoother skin with greatly reduced fine lines and wrinkles. I only use it 2 times a week because it is starting to get a little sensitive. I want to use it more often but don't want to risk it.

If your skin gets a little sensitive like mine, I recommend getting pure organic argan oil like this one Pura D'or Pure & Organic Argan Oil 4 fl. oz. and apply a tiny amount over your face after this treatment to help protect and moisturize the area. It also has great anti-aging effects.

Buy this product and you will feel like you had a facial, seriously. I have used it twice and my skin felt ultra soft. This kit is easy to use, simply rub the crystals on your face for about 1-2 minutes. The crystals are like a salt scrub. Then put the peel serum directly on top of the crystals and rub for about 1 minute (it will feel warm on your skin). Then rinse throughly with warm water. Less than 5 minutes and you are finished! The kit looks like you could use it 10-20 times before running out. Be careful not to get it near your nostrils and eyes. After using this kit, my pores were less noticable and my skin wasn't red like most products will do. For $30, it isn't too expensive and you will actually save money by not going to a spa for a monthly facial.

I hemmed and hawed over buying this, spending 15 minutes looking at it in the drugstore before deciding to buy it. Then I had to literally run to the register and pay before I changed my mind. I'm glad I did.

I didn't know what to expect, since I've never used a microdermabrasion product before. I have no regrets. This seemed to lift a veil of dullness from my face, even as I was massaging in the tiny crystals, which are the first half of the treatment. Both elements of the treatment smell divine. I recommend this product to anyone who is on a tight budget, or dosen't have time to skip off to a dermatologists office over their lunch break (like the beauty magazines nonchalantly suggest) for a professional chemical peel.

The missing star is due to the high price. I think that there are similar products on the market available for 7-10 dollars less, though I can't vouch for their effectiveness. All in all, however, a nice product I will purchase again without buyers remorse!

I am mean to my skin. I smoke, I don't drink water, I use tanning beds, sleep in makeup...etc.

I got home tonight and this was on my doorstep. I immediately tore open the box and read the instructions then went to work.

5 minutes later, someone else's face was looking in the mirror.

I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT believe how fabulous my skin feels and looks. It's like silk. After only one use. I am floored.

The uneven bumps...GONE...The uneven tones...GONE...Big pores on my forehead and chin...GONE.

I can't quit feeling my face.

It just so happens that I recieved a sample packet of Regenerating Serum last week. I put it on afterward and WOW...even better.

No greasy feeling at all. Just clean, super soft skin.

I am hooked after only one use. I can't wait to see what it will do with a few weeks use.

For under $30 bucks you will feel like a million.

Great Job Olay.

I got this in my Christmas stocking and didn't expect too much, but I used it and was floored. The first time you use it, you will be surprised at how much better you look afterwards, but the coolest part is, if you keep using it twice a week, you will notice all old scars or uneven spots gone, no more flaky skin, and a total glow. Before, I always used St Ives apricot scrub-let me tell you...NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE. After using this, you will not use anything else-oh, and the yummy smell is awesome!

I can't handle reviews with hype so I have to write something. I bought this at Costco but this price seems fair. I love this stuff. My skin felt exfoliated, felt fresh and very very clean. I still have large poors and wrinkles and sun spots. Even so, I called my sister and told her to get it. It's better then any mask, mud or home treatment I've used.

I read about this product in the Parenting magazine and decided to give it a try. After the first use itself, I saw wonderful results. Skin feels so soft and supple and it seems like those blemishes are hidden.I use it every week and I recommend it for anyone who does not have the time to go out for those one hour facials every other week but can manage to spend a few minutes in the shower using this product.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 starts is because I observed that you have to very gently rub the product into your skin and if you are not very gentle, you might end up with red spots or a burnt skin. This happened a couple of times but now I am very careful and very gentle whil rubbing this product into my skin. I still highly recommend it.

This product is great for those who have normal skin and no/occasional acne. It gets rid of all the build up on your face and leaves skin looking fresh.
However, if you have sensitive skin or are prone to breakout (like myself) then don't waste your money. It's too harsh and left my face feeling red as well as scratchy. I broke out the next day too.

I've been using regenerist daily for 6 months. I added the peel system this past month. What a change! I'm 60. My skin has clarity I haven't seen in years. Pores close up, small lines and wrinkles really do seem to disappear. I'll stick with this from now on.

To call this product microdermabrasion is misleading. It's more like a nice scrub/exfoliant. Compared to professional dermatological microdermabrasion, this product is very mild/light.

That said, it seems like a good product that will yield many applications out of the bottles. I like that you apply it with your fingertips and don't need some kind of battery powered applicator like other home kits, which can be a bit dangerous to use.

Although the granules are very fine and probably quite safe, you probably still don't want to rub them into your skin that hard nor very often. Doing so may cause permanent damage to your skin (redness, etc). Sure, you want to exfoliate, but you do not want to do any damage so please use it gently.

I think this product does a good job of exoliating your skin and can be considered a good product for that. But it should in no way be compared to professional level microdermabrasion which you get done in a dermatologist's office; the effects of that will be much more noticeable and pronounced.
