Customer Reviews of Olay Regenerist Night Recovery Moisturizing Treatment, 1.7 Ounce
Customer Review: (HELPS) WITH DARKNESS IN EYE AREA
Summary: 5 Stars
Well I tried this because I subscribe to consumer reports and they said that the eye cream is usually the same as the face cream but the eye cream is more expensive. So I tried it on my face but I have very oily skin it worked well but I had a breakout but I continued to use on my eye area and I do notice a big difference from before they are not totally gone but they sure have lightened up alot. By the way I am african american but I am very light skin and before using the cream someone asked me who hit me in my eye (no one hit me in the eye they were just dark circles) because it was a little darker than the other but after using the cream they are the same. so it is worth a try and consumer reports said it works better than th $300 creams.
"Moreover, the luxury-priced skin-care offerings didn't work any better than the drugstore brands. La Prairie Cellular, the most costly product we tested ($335 for an ounce of day cream and 1.7 ounces of night cream) was among the least effective. Our top-rated product line, available at a drugstore near you, is Olay Regenerist--as it happens, the nation's best-selling brand of wrinkle cream--which cost about $19 apiece for the "enhancing lotion," "perfecting cream,"and "regenerating serum" combination that the company recommends.

Customer Review: Keeps my skin feeling moisturized all night
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this product because I've been using Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum - 1.7 fl oz for about a year and thought it made a difference in the smoothness of my skin. This product is a little richer, for night time use and has kind of a weird purple-ish color. Not sure why they added the color, but the cream feels good on my face and keeps it feeling moist all night. It doesn't really get rid of existing wrinkles but hopefully it'll delay the formation of new ones.
I'd prefer a product without fragrance. This has a light fragrance that seems to dissipate after a few minutes and it's not really offensive. Still, I'd like to be able to order one without the fragrance. The Daily Regenerating Serum that I ordered this last time has a fragrance as well; I ordered it by mistake after using the fragrance-free version Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum, Concentrated Amino-Peptide Complex, Fragrance Free - 1.7 fl oz previously and really liked it. I'll order the fragrance-free version when this one is gone.
Customer Review: Going Back - Scent Overpowering
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this tonight after doing a lot of looking for a great "drugstore" brand anti-aging/antioxidant night cream. This got high marks and reviews from a number of sources. I thought the consistency and texture were fine, not too heavy and spread easily. It has a light violet color, certainly didn't notice once it was spread on. I was not prepared for the overwhelming perfumey smell.
The Smell:
No sooner than it was on I was thinking "This isn't good...". If you've ever been to the movies, you've surely encountered a heavily-perfumed woman who you can smell from the moment she walks in. You just hope that she doesn't sit by you...and then she does. Within minutes you know you can't make it to the end of the show let alone eat or drink anything with that stench permiating everything around you, so you get up and leave. That is the intensity of this scent - I had to wash it off. My husband said he could smell me from down the hall, before he reached the end, and I was sitting in a room around the corner.
I can not give it another night, it's going back tomorrow. WHY on earth do companies feel this intensity of smell is appropriate?!?!?!
Customer Review: Caused severe breakouts
Summary: 1 Stars
I typically have very good skin. It is on the dry side but I do not have acne -- in fact I break out very rarely (just the occasional hormonal pimple or two). When I first opened this cream, I noticed the fragrance was unpleasantly strong, but I put it on anyway. When I got up in the morning, I had horrible red splotches and whiteheads all over my face. Some of them were even painful cystic-type sores beneath the skin on my chin and jawline. I stopped using the cream right away, and I haven't gotten any new pimples, but the old ones are taking days to clear up. It totally ruined my week to have my face covered in painful pimples and crusty sores. Thankfully I didn't have any big events to go to, or I would have been traumatized.
On the plus side, I called the 800 number on the back of the jar, and the Olay representative was very courteous and helpful. She said they would refund my money (since Amazon doesn't take returns on opened cosmetics). I have used the eye serum without problems but I will not try the face creams again. Just not worth the risk.
Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
To be honest ladies, when I buy a moisturizer I don't expect it to get rid of wrinkles; all i expect is that it will do a good job of moisturizing my very very dry skin; Up until this past month I used Clinque Moisture On Line exclusively; it is a wonderful product with no scent; that product was discontinued. I have spent the entire month buying products on the internet and at the drugstore trying to duplicate Moisture On Line; guess what, the only product that is the closest is Olay Night Recovery Cream; yes the color is putrid (sorry Olay) and the smell I could live without (but I can tolerate it); this is a really good moisturzing cream; if I want to get rid of wrinkles I'll get a facelift; If I want a moisturizer that makes my skin moist and smooth, I will use this product. By the way the only difference between a night cream and moisturizer,as I understand it is that moisturizer has suncreen and night cream obviously doesn't.
