Olay Miracle Boost and Micro Sculpt Duo Review

I received this product in a beauty box, and we'll timed it was to as my other moisturiser was just running out.

This is a simple 2 part system where you apply the serum first followed by the creme morning and night to help fight the early signs of ageing.

I love the ease at which the serum disappears into the skin without leaving a film. Then the moisturiser is lovely and thick but melts easily into the skin. It has a lovely floral fragrance. I have found my skin feels softer and smoother and there may have even been a slight reduction in the fine lines around my eyes.

Overall I am loving using this product and have been using it exclusively for the last 3 weeks and both serum and moisterisir are no more than a third used so the product lasts we'll.

As a duo, these products worked really well together. I have done separate reviews for each product. They did give me a little skin irritation to start with but I couldnt tell you which products did that, but pretty sure it was the moisteriser as the perfume was quite high.

I really enjoyed using both these products and although my fine lines and wrinkles are still there (boo hoo) I did like how they both hydrated and evened out my skin tone as well as giving it a bit of a brightening boost, nice!

As far as packaging, I had trouble getting into both products. To start with not being able to figure out how to get lids off was a bit of a hassle and with one, nearly made me give up but once I'd had that aha moment it was all good, lol.

Very happy with these two products, they will last a long time if you dont use too much so I think the price is reasonable, although, I would probably wait till Farmers had a sale before re-purchasing these.

One of the techniques to get great looking skin is to layer different skincare products. This technique has been around for decades with the cleanse tone moisturise mantra. It has since exploded to 5 or so steps for your typical everyday beauty fan, to the extreme of 14 plus steps of the ultimate K-Beauty consumer. This duo is a great way to start building steps into a beauty routine. I loved having 2 matching products sitting on my bathroom vanity. The 2 products worked really well together. The Pre Essence has a really light texture that felt like it was being immediately absorbed. It seemed to help the application and absorption of the sculpting cream. It left my skin smooth and make up ready. After a week of use twice a day I swear that my skin looks firmer and the texture is more refined.

I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial these products. I am 38, with dry skin, and fine lines on my forehead. I have been using these for approximately 3 weeks: once a day at night-time.

The packaging and design of the products is eye-catching and clever. They come in red and silver boxes with pictures of the product on the front. The bottle is 40ml, and the jar is 50g. The Micro Sculpt has an innovative pump design to gather the serum into the stopper. It is pretty easy to use and makes using the dropper applicator simple. You can cover your face with 1 - 2 drops.

The jar for the Miracle Boost is red, while the lid is a chromatic silver. The circular lid has an oval indentation on the top, which is slightly off centre and which gives it a modernist, slightly sci-fi quality. It would look very cool sitting in your bathroom.

I have not noticed a huge difference, after three weeks of using these, to my skin. I only used them in the evening as I did not want to use heavy skincare in the daytime. So it is hard to tell if my skin is better for using this, but it is definitely not worse.

One thing I have a problem with is the smell of the Miracle Boost cream. It smells like a chlorinated swimming pool, and I have had trouble getting past that. Every time I go to apply it I am overcome by the scent. It is an unusual choice of scent for skincare, and it is very strong. Perhaps they were going for an ocean scent, but I can't help but notice it every time I apply it.

Although you are meant to layer these products, I do not think you have to use them together to get the full effect of the products. I think you can mix and match them as much as you like. I think if you are looking for a serum along the lines of international brands that you can buy locally, then Micro Sculpt is worth a go. I think Miracle Boost cream is a good night cream, but I do not think it is noticeably better than other night creams that can be bought locally.

These two products are part of a set of 4 but can be used individually as well. Both products are packaged very elegantly in gorgeous red containers. The serum has a neat pump in the lid to draw the product up and ensures you get just the right amount each time. The cream is in a regular pot, nothing is supplied to scoop it out so you'd need to have your own if you didn't like using fingers.

Both products work well together and are easy to apply. The serum is so light that adding the cream on top does not feel like you have too much product and still absorbs well. For a person who is used to this sort of regimen these products would be great, they did make my skin brighter and so smooth but I feel it was too short a time to tell if they will reduce wrinkles, repair and slow ageing affects as stated on the box. My skin is quite sensitive and not keen on a lot of product too often, I found using both twice a day a bit much. While I had no reaction which was great I felt if I kept going using both twice a day I was going to have a huge break out. So I cut down to just morning and washed it off at night. So while my face still benefited from using it this may be why I didn't see the full effect.

I was lucky enough to trial this duo on my 50+ skin, and I would certainly continue to use these products.

The Miracle Boost Youth Pre-essence absorbs quickly into the skin without stickiness. Follow this with the Micro sculpting cream which is silky and rich without being greasy or heavy.

Within a week I noticed the exfoliating properties of these products, leaving my skin soft and smooth.

After 4 weeks trialling these products I did not notice a difference to my wrinkles, or jowls, but my skin does appear more hydrated and healthy. With time there may be a difference to these areas.

I would certainly recommend this duo to other people.

Used the Olay Miracle boost and Micro sculpt duo with awesome results. Skin feels naturally soft and supple. Skin is brighter and skin tone evened out. Both products are easy to apply and the Olay Miracle boost dropper endures the amount applied is consistent. Used both twice a day and was able to apply my foundation really well over product.

I was lucky enough to be chosen to review the Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence and Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Cream. I have normal skin with a few mid-30’s wrinkles around my eyes and on my forehead, and I’m usually a little neglectful of a proper skin care regime as I’ve taken it for granted enjoying pretty good skin condition so far. However I have been looking for an affordable and effective skin care products to slow the signs of ageing I’m starting to see, and keep my skin in the good condition it’s currntly in, and that I can enjoy using.

I think I’ve found this in these products. Firstly they’re affordable and accessible, being found in supermarkets. They both have a lovely fragrance which is important to me - I want to enjoy using the products! And most importantly, they have delivered effective results for me over the last few weeks. I can see my skin is smoother, brighter, and more even.

The Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence claims to renew cells, visibly reduce wrinkles, and firm skin. The Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Cream claims to visibly reduce pores, improve texture and radiance, as well as visibly reducing wrinkles, and firming skin. The only thing I didn’t notice was a reduction in my pores, but my skin definitely looks fresher, wrinkles appear to be minimised and fewer, and even though I’ve suffered from a lack of sleep over these last few weeks no one has said I look worse for it, so perhaps these products are compensating for my lack of sleep and keeping me looking great!

In terms of the use of the products, I loved the texture of the essence, you only need one dropper “squirt” not the recommended two, and it absorbed in nicely. I noticed a bit of residue for the first few days but this went away, just make sure you don’t use too much, and allow it time to absorb before putting on the microsculpting cream. I love the bottle. I initially thought the dropper was a bit gimmicky but it’s actually really well designed and the packaging looks modern and sleek.

The cream is luxuriously thick, and while I did have a few small breakouts initially I think this was skins shock at being given such rich products after not having used anything near as creamy for a while. My skins after the few weeks’ use is spot-free. I used a new foundation during this trial which combined with winter temperature changed dried my skin out, but after using these Olay products the dryness went away within a day.

A little goes a long way with both of these products and that make them even more appealing, they’re definitely a worthwhile investment at a great price, and while I don’t think Ive had ten years knocked off the appearance of my skin, I’m sure with more use the benefits I’ve seen to date will only continue to grow. Definitely recommend and would buy again!

I LOVED the Olay Miracle Boost and Micro Sculpt Duo!!!

The two products work together to make your skin feel super soft and instantly moisturised but they don’t feel sticky or heavy on your skin. They feel very nourishing but also light at the same time. They are both easy to apply as they just glide on and pretty much dry straight away and just feel amazing!!! They have a lovely subtle smell which is not overpowering and you don’t need a lot to get full coverage which makes them good value for money.

I really like their packaging although I don’t like the white disk that sits on top of the Sculpting Face Cream (on the inside) as it is very fiddly to get off. That is the only thing I don’t like though and it’s a pretty minor thing.

After using the Olay Miracle Boost and Micro Sculpt Duo my skin definitely looks and feels smoother and softer. I would definitely recommend them to a friend.
