Olay Professional Pro X Review

I'm always trying to beat back the signs of aging so you know I was excited to try out some Olay products!  I used to use Olay but stopped and can't remember why.

 

ProX is designed to target specific skin issues, mainly if you have an anti-aging concern this is for you. I tried the Anti-Aging Starter Protocol which came with the Age Repair Lotion with SPF 30, Wrinkle Smoothing Cream and Eye Restoration Complex.

The Age Repair Lotion is described as

New Olay Professional Pro-X Age Repair Lotion with SPF 30 is a daily full-face UVB and UVA
moisturizer that provides broad spectrum sun protection, moisturization and anti-aging benefits. Utilizes a multiple-technology approach to help shield skin from harmful UVA and UVB exposure. This formula also hydrates skin to help repair the stratum corneum reducing the
appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The Wrinkle Smoothing Cream

New Olay Professional Pro-X Wrinkle Smoothing Cream is a nighttime full-face moisturizer
that is professionally designed to help improve skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines
and wrinkles.

The Eye Restoration Complex

Pro-X Eye Restoration Complex is designed and professionally tested for the part of your face that communicates age the most: the delicate eye area. This Specialized Treatment hydrates to restore the area to its optimum appearance by improving the look of crow’s feet. Massaging it in reduces excess fluids to diminish dark circles and puffiness.

I would skip it with the exception of the eye cream. The eye cream is excellent! There was a visible difference in my undereye skin and darkness. It's a definite keeper. I don't think the Age Repair Lotion and the Wrinkle cream are bad just not right for me at this point in my life. When I used it it left my face extremely dry looking and it seemed like I needed a lot of product just so my face could look normal. If you have serious wrinkle issues then this is perfect for you if not skip it and use the other Olay products.

Dinner out to celebrate my birthday. I tried to wear some lashes. The first pair was very “Statue of Liberty” according to Shawnta. The second pair was fine until I tried to clean the wad of glue on my lash line and took the whole thing off.
