Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I didn't expect to like this product so much, since I've long been a fan of the (dreadfully expensive) Dr. Hauschka product line. But this simple skin care system succeeds on all fronts.
What I like:
Overall, the line has improved the look of my skin, but take note: it does take daily use and about 4 weeks to see results.
Cleanser - the biggest bottle, the cleanser, is silky and non-greasy in consisitency, with very small exfoliating beads. I was skeptical of a cleanser with exfoliant initially, but decided to try it because I live in a polluted city and have aging skin - two reasons to want a slightly more aggressive cleanser. But I also have sensitive skin and I have to hand it to Olay, they got the balance right. My skin feels great and looks toned.
Lotion - my favorite part. I really, really like the lotion for daytime under makeup. Lotion is the easiest thing to get wrong in a cleansing system. They're either too heavy, too watery or too tacky. This one was light and the finish was somewhat powdery. I use a tinted moisturizer over it and the result is a good glow without looking greasy. I'm not going to get too heavily into the chemistry of these products, but I did appreciate the inclusion of beta-hydroxy (anti-aging), pro-vitamin B5, vitamin E, vitamin C and amino peptides (amino acid chain, think collagen). All three products do have fragrance, but it's subtle.
Eye Cream - it does its job. The Dr. Hauschka version blows little Olay away though in my opinion. It's a soft, watery cream and does well under makeup.
What I don't like:
No Night Cream - A must in any skin care line is a night moisturizer and that's lacking here. The lotion included is definately a day lotion, not as heavy as I like for night time.
Packaging Waste - Two stars for packaging. A cardboard box, A plastic sleeve over the box, die-cut cardboard paneling and over-the-top anti-theft adhesion on back. This thing was on lock down and was difficult to extract even with scissors. The cardboard is recyclable; the plastic box, probably not. Combined with the heavy plastic bottles, there's a lot headed for the landfill and recycling warehouse here.
