*** FYI ***Proctor & Gamble is offering $10 off purchase of their products on Amazon until April 30, 2008!! The promo code is Apr08PNG. They don't advertize this in the checkout process - I just happened upon it while searching for other stuff.
I used this for the first time last night, after reading many reviews of the Regenerist line on Amazon. This particular product was also recommended in the book How Not to Look Old by Charla Krupp, which I browsed through at the bookstore. I have VERY dry skin, and it was getting even worse after a move this winter from Houston to way upstate Northern New York (heater on all the time!), so much so that my smile lines around my eyes were getting deeper and deeper - I'm 29!
The great thing about this product is that it exfoliated and didn't leave my skin feeling tight. It was very moisturizing, and I saw instant improvement in visual appearance/eveness in tone. I hope this product will continue to better my skin. I can't wait until the rest of the Regenerist products I ordered come in. We'll see if it helps my crow's feet.
I washed my face with Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser, then followed up with this. I was surprised to see that the creram was a funky lavender color, but it warmed instantly, and the granules were very fine, but not too gritty. The fragrance was light, not the least overpowering.
My sensitive skin wouldn't handle daily use of this scrub, but I will be using it 3 times a week as my exfoliating routine.
All in all, I recommend this product if you're looking for a quality exfoliator (ie, not St. Ives - which does nothing for my skin) that enhances skin texture, retains moisture, and is quick and easy to use.

I'm very disappointed in this product. I have acne and was using the Neutrogena peel to improve my skin tone and acne scars. I decided to give the Regenerist Mini-Peel a try to save money. The tube was a larger size for the same price. Well, I have to say that I wasted money instead. I've tried the peel 3 different times and every time I had a pretty substantial break out the next day. I think the product is a little too abrasive for acne prone skin even with gentle rubbing. Using this product has now undone all of the great results that I had with the Neutrogena Tone Correcting Peel and I'll have to start over again. Maybe there should be a warning on the packaging that it shouldn't be used on skin prone to acne.

The great thing about this "mini-peel" is it leaves my skin very smooth. The product feels warm going on my face for 3 seconds and then goes away. I have sensitive skin and I am prone to occasional break-outs. So far, I have been using this every other day now for the past week and no problems with my skin that could be associated with this product. I am going to continue using and see how my skin looks and feels after a few weeks of use. I am in my late 20's and I have very fine lines in certain areas of my face and would like to freshen & smooth the appearance of my skin without any irritation. The product has a nice light smell as well... I will provide an update in due time.

edited 9/2/11 - I had to come back and give this product an extra star to make a perfect 5 star product. I have noticed how soft and supple my skin has become and it really gets my face clean! I like to use a little on the tops of my shoulders as well as my face. The heat and tiny crystals that scrub your skin make a remarkable combination. I am not sure if this is a remedy for wrinkles per say but I can attest that this stuff seems to open the pores and ensure your dull skin is scrubbed away to reveal a more youthful appearance. Great stuff! A++

I think this product mway have broken me out. However, I gave it 3 stars because it leaves my skin feeling wonderful - until the flare up :( I'd recommend for those who don't have sensitive skin.

I really enjoy this product. It not only cleans, but removes old skin. The heat is unique and feels good.

I've only been using this a few days and already I see a dramatic difference. My skin is softer and brighter. Most importantly, it's helping to clear up my active acne! (I'm 31 and have struggled with cystic acne all my life.) I'm excited to see if it helps with the redness/scarring from previous acne...but so far, this is working wonders for my complexion. And the heat-activated formula feels heavenly!

I bought the Olay Mini-Peel to address some discoloration, acne and wrinkles that I have. I was a little nervous about the sun warning on the peel but I figured that if a product doesn't have any affects it probably won't have any results either. After only one week of use I have noticed a huge improvement in the texture of my skin. My pores are smaller and I have a much more even tone. The best part is that I haven't had a single break out since I started using the peel! I have not noticed a huge change in my wrinkles but I don't have that many anyway. Be very careful to use sunscreen when you go out for long periods of time. Serious business, you will need an SPF of 75 or more. I used SPF 50 one day at the pool and came out a little pink. (I usually don't burn at all) Also, be sure to use the peel in the shower, it seems to get warmer and last longer that way.

I bought this product based on what the Olay recommended online. I use this every morning and I like it because it does make my skin really moist and smooth. But I'm only 19 years old. I think this product is too much to spend for people my age. And it sounds like a lot of people have broken out. A good product for people in their 30 and up maybe? Teenagers, I don't recommend for y'all. Keep your money and try something else than this.

Good product but I wont buy this again for a long time.

I've been using the Olay Regenerist Thermal Mini-Peel for 2 months, and it is making a visible difference on my face. My skin is smoother and softer, and I haven't developed any breakouts. The pores on my nose have cleared. Very easy to use in the shower each morning, as suggested.

A friend had me try her very popular Clarisonic Brush ($200), and I think the Thermal Mini-Peel is at least as effective --and much less expensive.

This is one of the best products I've ever used. I've gotten all sorts of compliments and comments from friends and strangers alike about how good my skin looks - I highly recommend this product.
