I agree with Leelu. This is supposed to be good for dry skin, but maybe my skin is not dry enough for it? ? It smells nice, though a bit strong, but it doesn't cleanse or rinse well at all!! It seems to leave a "film" of some kind on my face, which is not "illuminating", and I've had minor breakouts from what I'm sure is the mineral oil in it. It left my skin soft, but it's not for me. I still had to wash my face again with another cleanser. I only tried it because it was "recommended" to me from the company's skin care routine for dry skin. I didn't pay attention to this at the time, but now I've really gotten into analyzing ingredients on products. The main ingredients are not even CLEANSING agents, but moisturizing ones like petrolatum and mineral oil!! It's not a terrible product exactly, but I won't get it again because I prefer cleansers that remove makeup as well as grime, without any residue left. This might work for you if you wear little or no make-up, are NOT prone to breakouts, and also have VERY dry skin. It should be marketed as a "rinse-off moisturizer" you can use after a "real" cleanser. I've recently gotten Olay's Foaming Face Wash for Sensitive Skin, and I LOVE IT.

If this didn't come in a pump, I'd have given this a 10. This is similar to the Daily Regenerating Serum, except for the slight shimmer it has. This brightens up my eye area by minimizing the appearance of darkness and my fine lines. It works great under my makeup, and it can make me look more "awake" and like I got more sleep than I actually did. When I get near the bottom, I'll have to cut it open and scoop it out to use every drop. I don't think it "lifts", but it does smooth the lines out, as well as some minor puffiness.

I found this to be quite moisturizing, but they gave you so little for the price. Also, I didn't like all that glitter, which is why I only used it at bedtime. I find Eucerin's daily moisturizer to be better, cheaper, but with twice as much product. The fragrance was rather nice I thought. But I used it up so fast cause there's not much in there!

Revlon Age Defying Makeup Foundation with Botafirm for Normal or Combination Skin
Great for DRY SKIN too
I had gone back to this after trying that awful Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse. I had previously used this foundation's formula for dry skin for several years. This formula is actually better for my dry skin, as it has a thicker, richer texture. It gives me medium coverage, enough for brown spots and uneven tone, without having to use a separate concealer for that. I haven't used it for 14 days straight since I don't wear foundation daily, so I can't say if I look younger.:) But I look better with it than without it! I like how they upped the SPF rating to 20 from 15 as well. I wouldn't have known that this formula is more emollient than the one for dry skin if I hadn't read it somewhere. Dry skin formula has talc as one of the main ingredients, which emphasizes my dry skin! I have noticed that the shade I've always used (made sure I got the same color name & number)is a tiny bit pinker in tone, but I compensate for that by mixing a little of another foundation with it. Next time I'll get the next darker shade.

I found this to do nothing but take up space in my drawer. I used it religiously, daily, until the whole jar was gone, and I never saw even the finest lines minimized in appearance. And though I usually like fragrance, I found the one in this to be too strong. Olay makes MANY more formulas way better than this one. It moisturizes, but it's just an average moisturizer then...not an "anti-wrinkle cream". I don't like to waste stuff, so I used it up since I had no breakouts, etc. from it. But save your money.

I mostly love Olay products, but this didn't do anything for my feet. I agree with amygab and other members that it feels good, but at least the warming effect should last longer. I also think it needs a thicker texture and more gritty stuff to it. Also don't store this in a warm place or it'll get thin & runny fast. I made the mistake of forgetting to use it while it sat on top of my shower door frame. It was like water in minutes! I used it weekly for WEEKS, not just one week like they claim, and it didn't soften my calluses or feet. Like someone said, it does become thin quickly and *poof*, it's gone! I still need to use a pumice stone weekly and foot creams as well. I wanted this to work because I don't have time or money for pedicures. Hence, I don't wear sandals a lot. :)

Although I have been using this religiously everyday for about a year, I don't see "younger looking skin." It has a silky texture that leaves my skin soft and smooth. But it feels too slippery to wear under make-up, even though I have dry skin. Plus, it has no SPF, so I prefer to wear a moisturizing sunscreen under makeup instead. I'm 47,and my skin stil has the same crepe-like,"moon crater" texture. :( The fragrance is a little much even though I usually like fragrance. However, they also make it in a fragrance-free version, which I didn't know then. Maybe it hasn't been out long, I don't know.

With a name like that, I expected this cream to be much richer and hydrating. It is too light/thin for my dry skin, but it is an okay enough moisturizer to use under moisturzing make up. But I need heavier stuff, generally. It is a bit expensive for the amount you get, but it's not a bad product. Still, I don't think I'll get it again. I like Olay, and I'm sure another one of their moisturizers will be rich enough for my dry skin. I use the Micro-Scuplting cream at night, but I'd like a lighter (yet still thick) one for day.

I give it a 9 only because if it is not blended evenly, I end up with a few white streaks. Otherwise, I love this stuff. Finally a sunblock that is not greasy or heavy, and I like the light scent rather than smelling "like the beach." It works okay under makeup too, and it hasn't made my sensitive facial skin break out or anything!

I hated this stuff. Not only did I find it greasy, the fragrance was too strong. Worst of all, it made my eyes sting and burn, even though I never actually got it into my eyes! Just having it on my face, or even opening the jar, irritated my eyes. With all the fancy stuff, fancy name, and price...I expected better. This scared me from ever buying anything in the "Age Perfect" line again.
