This formula performs - I have been using Repechage for years - and this cream locked more moisture into my skin after one application than my whole experience with pricey French-based marine cosmetics. It's not greasy at all - it absorbs very well into the skin - even the day time formula. My skin feels like a baby's butt (!) and it is healthier and cleaner. I'm so impressed, and very happy I tried it.

I have been using the Olay products since about July 2006 and am very pleased. I use the Regenerist Night Recovery Moisturizing Treatment at night on my whole face and neck, after washing with Dove Regenerating Calming Night Soap (liquid, navy colored bottle) and I use Olay Smooth Skin Exfoliating Scrub about once or twice a week at night. In the morning, I use Avon ANew Eye Lift Cream around my eyes and then Olay Regenerist Deep Hydration Regenerating Cream on my entire face and neck. I think this combo, particularly the Olay Regenerist products have made me look YEARS younger--with the grace of God, of course. I added the Regenerist Night Recovery about 2 months ago, and it made a difference for me. Lots of people at work tell me I look younger, too. My skin feels great! It's firm and velvet soft. And wait till I tell you, I have lost 50 pounds in the last 9 months! Why do you care? Well, my face should be sagging all over the place with that kind of a weight loss, especially since I carried that weight for years and my skin was well-stretched. I should need a crane just to hold the wrinkles up! Guess what??? It's firm and velvet soft. I won't say I don't own a wrinkle, but they are very very minimal. I've had people tell me I don't have wrinkles, too, but there are little tiny ones there hiding in the makeup. Oh, I'm 57, too--so don't think I'm 25 and telling you I don't have wrinkles like they tell you in those adds on TV. It smells great, too. I am sensitive to certain products with perfumes, but not this. No problems.

I am mighty pleased with these products, BUT, use them awhile. Nuthin' happens overnight, Hon! (We call everybody Hon in Balmer) (That translates to Baltimore).

Update March 2007. I switched the morning treatment from Olay Regenerist Deep Hydration Regenerating Cream to Olay Total Effects 7x. It is great. Super creamy.

Update September 2007--Still using same combination of products--still working great. Am 58 now and have lost 59 lbs and am still quite pleased with these products.

I put this lotion on an night and immediately feel my face more moisturized. In the morning my face also feels softer, smoother and not as tired as the days when I do not use it. it has really worked for me!!! it is non greasy and my fine lines are not as noticeably. I do think this is a great product.

I bought four products from this line--the Regenerating Lotion with UV, Daily Regenerating Serum, Night Recovery Moisturizing, and the Eye Serum. After two weeks of use, I'm pretty pleased. I'm skeptical by nature, and I wonder if anyone notices the change produced by skin products like these other than the user. But, I think this stuff does make the skin around my eyes look smoother and lighter, and it certainly moisturizes without being greasy. I have pretty sensitive skin, and I haven't had any redness or irritation, and certainly no pimples. I also don't notice any scent. I find eye creams especially irritating (Clinique was AWFUL for me!) but the eye serum is very soothing. I'm pleased with the results and certainly the price!

Update 9/13/09

Well, I spoke too soon about not having trouble with pimples. Lo and behold, about six weeks after I began using all these products I noticed a few dreaded little red bumps, plus one larger one right in the center of my nose. Ugh! I've never had acne, even in the worst of the teenage years. After much trial and error over a couple of months, I think I've identified this item as the culprit. I notice it doesn't say that it's "non-comedogic" on the label, which I think basically means it won't block pores. I haven't had an issue with the other items in the Regenerist line, though, so I'd continue to recommend them.

I've been very happy with the Night Recovery cream for more than a year. I've never experienced a product that moisturizes so well while appearing so greaseless. In fact, because of its matte finish, I no longer use Olay's Daytime Regenerating Serum which is also a great product, but is quite a bit shinier than Night Recovery. Now I use Night Recovery during the day AND overnight.

I started using this in combination with their daily regenerist cream. I couldn't be happier. I look at least five years younger and it has taken away that tired, drawn look. My wrinkles are much less noticable. More importantly, as I have tried tons of products, it has reduced my under eye circles. This is no small feat. I have super dark blue, very hollow/sunken-in circles that, even with cover up, are still dark and shadowed because they are sunk in. This has plumped up the skin below my eyes, and, in addition to getting rid of much of the wrinkling, it has made it easier to put cover-up on the remaining discoloration, as it has taken away at least half of the sunken in look and darkness. Really a big difference in only a week of religiously using it. I highly recommend this!

My experience with beauty products, including this one, closely mirrors that of Kathy W. (I am also in the same age bracket.)
This product is a must for me. It seems to be an excellent restorative (youthful look) and "preventative" (of wrinkles) --moreso than an extinguisher of wrinkles. Used alone, it greatly reduces the no. of new wrinkles but doesn't "bust" existing ones. Other products used in conjuction with this (see Kathy W.'s review) seem to be the secret in banishing and keeping "age tellers" at bay.
I have tried going without this night moisturizer but when I do, the wrinkle busters don't work as well, my skin loses luster,and new, fine lines appear.
This product, for me, is essential in maintaining optimal skin health and appearance, and so far, no other moisturizer can come close to matching its benefits.

Smooth and creamy texture. I don't like wimpy creams, this one is just right. Have used about one week, like the results so far.

This product smells great. But I haven't noticed any significant change.Been using evey night 4-6 weeks.

Although this cream seemed to moisturize well, it made my forehead break out in small red bumps that turned into white heads. I mean TONS of bumps. It was a pimply rash of about 50 white-heads. I washed my face and thank God the bumps went away in a day. I normally don't react to creams this way. I would try a small amount to test it before use.
