I recently tried out Oil of Olay's new ProX line. Seems to me like this brand is really trying to step its game up with more advanced lines of products. And for $61.50 for three products, this line is definitely a few steps ahead of it's regular price point.
It came in a really snazzy packaging. Do you think the model's skin looks that good because of the product?
I love how they have such clear instructions in the packaging.
The set includes: Eye Restoration cream, Age Repair Lotion with SPF30, and Wrinkle Smoothing Cream. I really like how the line came with all 3 products together...it makes it a lot easier to put together a face routine.
I'm a big fan of Oil of Olay's Daily Moisturizer with SPF15 for sensitive skin. As you might know, I really do have sensitive skin. I break out into disfiguring hives (okay maybe that's an exaggeration, but I do get allergy rashes) when it comes to a lot of face products.
This line seems like it's geared towards repairing fine lines and wrinkles. At this stage in my life, i'm more so trying to prevent this from happening. Still, I was excited to see the results.
Check out the ingredients:

There is a lot going on huh? I'm definitely not a skincare expert so I decided to follow the steps and see what happened.
Results: OMG my skin broke out into those nasty hives I was telling you about! On top of it, my skin got this really rough feeling texture...almost like Sand Paper. My skin definitely does not react well to all of the ingredients. I think the product is too strong for me.
My conclusion: This line seems like it's more for mature skin who are actually looking for age repair solutions...hence all of the specific ingredients. If you're into prevention like me, I would skip. If you have super sensitive skin like me, please be wary. It's also super expensive. I realize that Oil of Olay is attempting to offer a more upscale line, but it's still hard for me to swallow. On a positive note, I will say that the eye cream seemed to work okay on me...no adverse reactions. I think i'll use that one for my mature clients and throw it in the kit.
Would I repurchase? Nope! I'm sticking with my current skincare regimen--it's cheaper and works better for me.
Till next time, Ciao Bellas!

Aww I'm sorry you had a negative experience with this product. Maybe something all natural would be better for you. I have very sensitive skin too so thanks for the warning.
PJD
thanks for the review!! wonderful!!!
Ooh thanks for this review. I've found a skin care line from the Body Shop that works for me but, I ran out the other day and have been too lazy to get some more. I'm going to stay away from the Oil of Olay Prox line. I have really sensitive skin too.
Thanks for this review RR - will not be dropping a needless $60 now!
xoxox,

Hey Ren!
This stuff really made me break out too!!! I thought it was because I had oily skin, i don't know. Plus the night cream felt like it was sitting "on top" of my skin, not absorbed...
Still trying to get my skin back to normal...
Aww...that just sucks that it didn't work out mama. I was wondering if that stuff is worth checking out but sadly it sounds like the answer is no. Thanks for the review Ren!
nice review.. thanks!
Ahhh. Hope your skin gets better. Loved your newest tutorial btw! <3
