Olay Regenerist Night Firming Cream

I cannot stress enough how important moisturizing is, most especially at night!

I've been searching for a night cream for a long time now; a night cream that is effective, something that is not too rich and thick that could possibly clog the pores, something that is not too fragrant or fragrance-free and something that won't put a hole in my pocket.

I've browsed the net and found great reviews on Olay Regenerist Night Firming Cream. So, of course, the curious in me reigned once more and I tried it out! Here's how it looks like...


Product Description:

My experience with the product:





The product comes in a glass container with a shiny, silver twist cap. Since it is placed in a thick glass, this makes it inconvenient for traveling as it is heavy! And since you also have to dip your finger in the container everytime you use it, this makes the product open to contamination.

The texture of the product is thick but it glides well unto the skin. It is absorbed easily and it's matte! Rarely will you find a cream-based product that is not greasy, so that impressed me. I used a little more than a pea-sized amount for the whole face and when I woke up in the morning, my face still felt soft and moisturized! It also did not cause irritation, although it may be perhaps I only used it twice. Why only twice, you ask? Here's the reason: THE SCENT. THAT OVERPOWERING SCENT. Yes, I don't like products that are too scented. The scent is so fragrant I can't even take it, I'm sorry. If it wasn't for the scent, it will be a great product for me. But it smells like perfume!

What I like:

  • fast-absorbing
  • matte finish, non-greasy
  • inexpensive for a good quality night cream
What I dislike:
  • the scent!!!!!!!!!
  • packaging is unhygienic

I still use the product, but not on my face, not anywhere near my nose! I use it as a neck cream; I also use it on my elbows and knees. But after this one is done, I won't buy again!

Price: Php 950.00
