Benefits, but no miracles !!
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.

Please TEST before using!
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.

Benefits, but no miracles !!, June 18, 2009
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!, June 15, 2009
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!

My life as a Wrinkle Cream Guinea Pig, July 2, 2009
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 discernable 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:
[...]
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.

I had to stop using it after four days, May 28, 2009
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I'm in my early thirties, so I don't have a lot of problems with wrinkles. I have a crease between my eyes from squinting, and mild ruching around my eyes when I smile. I do think using anti-aging products is a good way to keep from going downhill fast. I'm a bit self-conscious about the crease on my forehead, so I was hopeful that this would give me results. I use other Olay products with good success, and am especially fond of the Regenerist line, so I had high expectations. Unfortunately, this product did not work out well for me at all.
Within a couple of hours of applying the deep wrinkle treatment and SPF 30 moisturizer I got red bumps all over my cheeks and chin. The next day the red bumps and turned into little whiteheads. I hoped that I just needed to push through the reaction so I continued to use it for a couple of more days. After about 4 days of using it am and pm as directed my skin was in such bad condition that it looked like I had impetigo. My skin actually hurt. At that point I decided I couldn't use it anymore.
After stopping use my skin was almost back to normal with a couple of days. I can't say whether this product gets rid of wrinkles. I can say that it is not for someone with sensitive skin. I also didn't care for the way it felt on my skin. It was really greasy. Even after a couple of hours if I touched my face it felt moist and sticky. This was true of both the SPF moisturizer and the night cream. I don't really want to go to bed with my face feeling sticky.

Another good product from Olay, July 16, 2009
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
After several weeks, I've noticed sun spots fading and my skin feels much better. As to whether it's doing anything regarding wrinkles, I can't say that I see anything. Still have those fine lines around my eyes, dangit. I like using these products, however, simply because they go on smoothly, help to keep my face moisturized, and make my skin feel soft and silky.

Wrinkle-away! Olay's new Wrinkle Protocol Cream, June 17, 2009
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Olay's Wrinkle Protocol kit seems to do what is advertised. I ordered the kit for my wife who reviewed it. I asked her for her thoughts:
"The cremes do seem to penetrate. They aren't greasy, don't smell badly and do not seem to vanish like a lot of other creams. My skin feels more relaxed and I think wrinkles do appear to have disappeared, though I can't say whether that's just the moisturizer effect or will last for a time. I like the way the cream lays but I can't tell whether I'll permanently lose wrinkles or whether or not another non-wrinkle-reducing cream might also feel similar. I do like the product and I'll continue to use it."

Wife can't say enough, October 14, 2009
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Lest I incur the wrath of a scorned woman, I'll not specify my Wife's age. But I think she'd be okay if I said we are Gen-X.
She is VERY fair skinned. Always having to keep her skin cool and minimizing sun exposure, rashes and breakouts and such are a real frustration for her.
When the Pro-X kit arrived, she was quite keen on trying it out as she'd heard very good things about this product. The price is a bit prohibitive so she never had the opportunity to give it a try.
After a couple of weeks of use, she was quite happy with the results; Smoother, more consistent skin with much less irritation and breakouts like before.
With such a positive result my Wife has gotten, I would recommend this product...But Bearing in mind some of bad results others have had, I would recommend it with a warning of trying a sample first.

Made my wife break out in acne., August 27, 2009
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
My wife got this to try it out, and it almost immediately made her skin break out in acne. She doesn't have sensitive skin and is able to use practically everything else she tries, so this was a real surprise.
I eventually gave it to my mother, who says she likes it, but for a product this expensive to cause breakouts is kind of shocking.

Seems to be working..., June 24, 2009
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I haven't had much of a skin-care regimen, and it's starting to show around the eyes, so I was interested to try out this trio of products. The daytime moisturizer is a nice product--I like that it's unscented, it goes on easily, and it appears that the SPF30 rating is good (I've used moisturizers with sunscreen that seemed about as effective as coconut oil in blocking sunburn...) The night cream is the product I use the least--partly because I'm not very diligent about a night routine, but also because it feels a little heavier than I like. But the small tube of wrinkle treatment--ah, that's the one I was really interested in. I have been using it on my two small but deep wrinkles (one vertical, between the eyebrows, and one horizontal, just below it, at the top of the bridge of my nose) and on my much finer laugh lines (wrinkes below the lower eyelid, radiating out and down from the inside corners of my eyes). Hmmm... after a month of use, I don't see much difference in the fine wrinkles, but the deep ones are noticeably improved. Strange, I expected the opposite result, but it's true--those two deep wrinkles are decidedly less visible. I'm pretty pleased with the kit overall--I've been using it a month and there's still plenty left, so take that into consideration when you look at the value for money. I had been using Olay's Definity serum, but I think I like this set of products a little better.

Like the night cream, day moisturizer not so much, June 18, 2009
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I had high hopes for these products but the bottom line for me is so far (4 weeks) I have not noticed any real difference in my wrinkle problem areas and while the day cream is a very effective sunscreen I don't like the way it feels and looks on my face.
The day cream never seems to fully absorb and sits on my face as a greasy shiny layer and as a result is not makeup/foundation friendly. In the heat and humidity it feels uncomfortably heavy and oily. This possibly could be a very good product for those with extremely dry skin. My skin is more combination normal to dry.
The night cream does absorb better. The deep wrinkle treatment directions instruct to use the product day and night on problem areas in combination with the other creams but I have found I can not use it with the day cream because it just amplifies the problem I have with the heavy greasy feeling. I have been using the deep wrinkle cream at night on two areas, fine wrinkles around my eyes and deeper wrinkles on my forehead. So far I have not noticed any real difference in the appearance of those wrinkles. I am going to continue with the night cream and deep wrinkle treatment for another 4 weeks and if I have any different results I will update this review.
