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.

Not only is the packaging sleek, the pump dispenses just the right amount. It's light in texture and applies well. I really do think that the overall appearance of my skin is has improved. It appears more hydrated and brighter since using this product. I will be purchasing when I run out.

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 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.

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.

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.

Olay Micro Sculpt Duo: a product with a lovely scent, a light gel and easy to apply. I did find the product absorbed easily in my skin and the feel was pleasant and felt that it firmed up my skin. Personally felt one pump of the dispenser was sufficient, rather than the two pumps recommended on the packaging.

Olay Miracle Boost: Love the consistency and texture of this creme. It did feel luxurious on the skin, and felt like it did lock in the serum more using this product as part of a skincare regime. I did break out in pimples the first few days but this improved after use.

Result: After less than two weeks using this product, I still need to see the results eventuate from using these products. I do love the serum and feels like this hydrates my skin and using both products, my skin does feel softer. Does it meet the 'Miracle' claim - not yet. I have not seen this as a stand-out from other similar brands or products (yet), but will keep on the regime for another month to see if the benefits shine for me.

I found both products had attractive packaging and with the Olay products being easily accessible and reasonably priced in the supermarket, it certainly is a product I will use in future, if the benefits work for me....time will tell :-)

So I have been using Olay Miracle Boost and Micro Sculpt Duo for about 3 weeks now and I'm still trying to work out if you actually need to use both products at the same time to see the results both products claim to give. Here are my conclusions anyway: I found the Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence to be quite drying on my skin after application (and I have oily skin) and then the Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti-Ageing Micro-Sculpting Cream Moisturiser put that moisture straight back. Perhaps that is what is supposed to happen and then if that is the case then for sure, you need both products. If that isn't the case to be honest you probably only need one or the other. Both products claim to do the same things for your skin - it's just kind of worded differently! It suggests to use both products morning and night which is what I did - serum first, moisturiser second. I really don't feel you need to use the serum and the cream together. I believe that the face cream on its own would be all you need to see results. You could possibly only need the serum on its own if you have oily skin like myself as I found it a bit drying on my own skin. If this range does sound like it would be up your alley, choose one product, I really don't think you need both xx

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.
