My life as a Wrinkle Cream Guinea Pig,
By P. Falcioni "Ducatisti" (Central Oregon, United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Olay Professional Pro-X Intensive Wrinkle Protocol Kit (Health and Beauty)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I am not a very fussy person when it comes to beauty. I don't wear makeup most days, but do want to keep from looking like a Char Pei on a bad day before I'm 60.
Because of allergies, I've always been a Neutrogena gal, using their Healthy Skin line for years. I'm currently using the Anti-Wrinkle / SPF 15 with Retinol, which I've been happy with. When the Olay ProX System became available through the Amazon Vine program, I really looked forward to testing an expensive anti-wrinkle system. When the box arrived, I was ready to throw my cheapo Neutrogena tube in the junk drawer and start slathering the high-dollar solution on my wrinkled mug, but then I got a thought, "why not do a side-by-side test?". Literally, the right side of my face would be Neutrogena, the left would be the property of Ms. Olay. I started on May 29, right after taking a `before' photo. So nice to take a close-up makeup-free snap of yourself in bright daylight, such a wonderful way to start the day, but this was for science! Every day (and night) since I've faithfully applied the three Olay products as directed to the left side of my face and neck, and done my usual Neutrogena in the AM and nothing at night on the right. After a month, there is absolutely no discernible difference between the right and left sides of my face; well, besides the differences that were there already. I have the same amount of wrinkles, the same depth, the same age spots, everything. In the interest of science and for +40 ladies everywhere, here are close-up views of my wrinkly un-made-up face for all to see: (check comments for this info) Yes, it is ugly, but for a good cause! In conclusion, I did not have any adverse reaction to the Olay products. All three felt good on my face, never oily or heavy. If I had seen any results at all, I would be happy to continue using them and paying 4x the cost of the Neutrogena Healthy Skin cream. However, without results, I can't see any reason to spend the extra money just for nicer packaging.

Benefits, but no miracles !!,
By trp "serencymru" (Woodville) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Olay Professional Pro-X Intensive Wrinkle Protocol Kit (Health and Beauty)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
To give some background, I am a middle aged woman who is showing a little wear: crinkles around the eyes, a "surprise" line on my forehead and those wrinkles between my eyes. I have fair skin, not too dry.
I got the Olay Pro-x Intensive Wrinkle Protocol Kit about a month ago. The company says that this formulation works by making the outer layer of skin act younger by renewing itself more quickly and maintaining the moisture barrier more efficiently. Here's how to use the kit: After washing the face in the morning, apply the 30SPF lotion. Then, on the "deep" wrinkles, like around my eyes and on my forehead, apply the deep wrinkle cream (in the tube). Then apply makeup as usual. I found the lotion to be very moisturizing. I had been using Bare Escentuals powder foundation, but found that I couldn't use it while using the kit because my skin was too moist and the powder "clogged". Instead, I mixed some cream foundation with the lotion and applied it with a makeup sponge. At night, again, after washing, slap on the anti aging cream from the jar, followed by the deep wrinkle cream on the forehead and eyes. Did it make my wrinkles go away? Nope. What it did do was soften their appearance and give my skin a nice dewy look. I liked the SPF in the lotion and the way the deep wrinkle cream smoothed out my crow's feet. I enjoy using the kit and it does make my skin feel and look softer, but it hasn't removed any years (more's the pity!).

Please TEST before using!,
This review is from: Olay Professional Pro-X Intensive Wrinkle Protocol Kit (Health and Beauty)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I cannot stress enough that you should test this on a small patch of skin first before using. Especially the tube of anti-wrinkle cream. On my second day of use, I noticed small blistery bumps around my eyes and on my chin. I stopped using the products immediately and washed my face thoroughly, but the skin irritation got worse. I tried calling the toll free number on the box but was never able to reach a live person because their phone system kept disconnecting me. I eventually sent an email and the reply was that if needed I should see my doctor. The blisters got worse, broke open, and it took over a week for my face to completely heal. I was really disappointed, not only in the product but in the customer service from Olay. Even though there is not a warning on the box telling you to test the product before putting it on your face, I really urge everyone to do that. I sure wish I would have!
