Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence Review

When I was invited to trial the Olay Regenerist Regime I was less nervous than I would have been about trialing any other skin care - because I love the Olay brand. I usually moisturise twice a day using the Olay Sensitive Lotion and it's kept my skin in good condition.

I'm 53 with the usual ageing suspects, fine lines, a few wrinkles. I have a rosey complexion. I was immediately curious about the Essence - with its sleek dropper bottle it looks very fancy. I was expecting a serum but this wasn't an oily serum, it was kind of gel-like. It absorbed beautifully from the moment I applied it. Within minutes my skin was so smooth, I didn't feel the need to moisturise. (I did of course...but that's another review!)

A few weeks in of twice a day use, my fine lines have reduced, quite dramatically, in fact. I think my skin tone is more even.

It's hard to separate the two products for the review, but I think there's a synergy between them both, so I'd definitely use them both together. (This serum apparently makes the day cream more impactful, I believe that!)

I think I'll easily get 8 weeks out of the routine, maybe more, which makes the price really competitive compared to other anti-ageing products on the market.In short, I think this is a really great routine and highly recommend it. The results after just a few weeks have blown me away!

I was immediately impressed with the packaging. The bottle is a beautiful red. The lid has a built in dropper that automatically "sucks up" the product as you unscrew the lid. Very clever! I used one dropper full per application and found that that was more than enough. I used it morning and night in conjunction with the micro sculpting cream. I have normal to combination skin. I'm 43 years old, so I am beginning to see the wrinkle appear, tired dull skin texture and a bit of sagging...booooo!!!!!. I found the pre-essence really soothing and made my skin feel so fresh and bright. It is a clear liquid gel. It has a really nice subtle fragrance, that's not too overpowering. Because I was using it with the cream, I cant say whether it was this product that was giving me the positive changes. But I am sure that this product had something to do with it. I used the product morning and night everyday for a month. Even though I was not stingy on the product and I applied it liberally I still have at least half of it left! The most noticeable difference I have experienced is that my skintone is so much more even and brighter. It no longer looks dull or tired. My pores are less visible around my nose and it feels smoother. I am amazed at the results from just using half of the jar. I cannot wait to keep using these products and experience even more improvements.

I got this product in a recent BBBE and was very glad, because I love Olay products and I love serums!

This comes in a very classy red bottle with a silver lid. You push the lid down to fill the dropper that you then use to drop the product either onto your face or finger, to apply. The lid goes down when you close it and pops up when you open it - very clever.

The serum is clear and thick. It has a delicious scent. I apply one dropper of the rpoduct to my face and neck every night after cleansing.It absorbs quickly into my skin and leaves my skin feeling fresh and smooth. I love it. I've been resisting the temptation to over-use it, so it is week 3 and I am about half way down, which is pretty good value for me.

I feel like my skin has improved since I've started using it. My complexion looks more even and brighter. I follow it every night with the Olay anti aging moisturiser and the two together are making my skin feel lovely. I have dry skin that can now get quite blotchy with the wrong products, but this product does not irritate.

I highly recommend it.

My daughter got to me onto this so when I saw it pop up on sale at countdown I had to grab it.

I do like olay and have had a lot of luck with their products in the past especially their moisturisers so was excited to try this and it was a great price at half what I pay for the other serums I buy.

Instantly felt like it tightened my skin on application. It looked smooth and was easily absorbed.

Slight scent to this one and the essence itself is like a gel almost. One application was plenty but I hadn't to work fast as like I said it's quickly absorbed.

Feels light to wear when it's on and also quickly tightens the skin.

The end results after using for a while are noticeably smaller pores and smoother skin. I have been using this with the night cream but I'm sure it's this tightening I can thank for the smaller pores by pinching them into place.

One dropper for me once a day has proven to be plenty and effective.

Highly recommend for the price I paid.

This product has helped my skin a lot since I received it in the last beauty vault. It comes in a red see through bottle with a silver lid, it took me awhile to figure out how to get the product out but once I realized I thought it was quite clever! You turn the lid then press the top down and the product goes into the dropper, unscrew it some more and your ready to press the lid again to squirt it into your hand. I found one squirt is enough for your entire face and neck. The product is like a gel that goes on smoothly, it feels a little sticky at the start but once it dries it feels nice and smooth on your face. It has a strange smell to it but not over powering. I use it before I moisturize and have found it has made my skins texture a lot better. I will definitely be repurchasing especially because of how long it has lasted me and is a good price.

There are many many serums out there, and I’ve tried a fair few of them, I think this is my favourite for many reasons. The number one reason is the packaging. Not only is it striking to look at with its sharp red and silver container, but the way the lid had the dropper in it, with a push button to release the serum onto your hand is fantastic! Once the lid is screwed on properly the button is flat, so you can easily see if it is open to not. This will reduce my chances of spilling. The red glass is clear enough to see how much serum is left, I like this too. As for the actual product, it is pretty good. Opaque colour, smooth serum which spreads over and is abosorbed by my face easily. Just one pump was enough for me. The odour is very slight and pleasant. I used the serum twice a day after toner, as directed... do I have more youthful skin? Maybe. This is definitely a product I would purchase... after I use up all my many other serums. I will continue to use this until it is empty, which judging from the last 3 weeks, will probably take about 4-5 months.

I am really enjoying this product. Love the clever dispenser, its a self loading dropper bottle, when you turn the lid it draws up the required amount. It has a dewy, liquid gel texture, and absorbs quickly into your skin, without feeling sticky. I do feel my skin is looking more youthful (wishful thinking?) and will be purchasing it again, to continue using in partnership with the micro-sculpting cream.

So I cleanse, tone, serum, oil, moisturiser, SPF..... I thought I had all the skincare bases covered. But no! What I didn't even know I was missing was a Pre-Essence! I didn't really know what a pre-essence was. Nor do I really know what an Essence is, exactly. But I was game to give it a try, and I'm really impressed. I really do need a Pre-Essence in my life! Olay Regenerist Pre-Essence is a lightwieght serum-like product, intended to be used after cleansing and toning but before serums or other treatment/moisturising steps. I love the packaging. It has a pipette applicator, which is automatically filled with the perfect dose when you unscrew the bottle cap. Then you push press the button on the top of the cap to squirt the product into your palm. I just rub it between my palms and then press my hands onto my face. It's not sticky at all and it absorbs quickly. There's no noticable fragrance. Then I apply serum, oils and all the other myriad of products that I use to hopelessly attempt to stave off the inevitable. I couldn't give it 5 stars for doing what it said it would, because I can't say for certain that I will look 10 years younger. I live in hope though! I really do think that it has helped make my skin look smoother and fresher, so I'm really happy with it.

I LOVED the Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence!!!

It makes your skin feel velvety smooth and is so easy to apply. The packaging looks good and is also practical as the top acts as a dropper/pump. When you unscrew the lid it draws the liquid up into the dropper and then you just push the button on the top to dispense it. ONE drop is enough to get full coverage so a bottle will last you ages which makes it good value for money. It feels lovely and light when you put it on and doesn't feel sticky. It dries really quickly too and has a nice but very subtle fragrance. Your skin feels super soft as soon as it dries and just feels amazing!!!

After using the Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence my skin definitely looks smoother and softer. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.
