Being successfully selected to review this product, I received three items, OLAY Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence, OLAY Regenerist micro-sculpting cream Moisturiser and OLAY Regenerist micro-sculpting cream Moisturiser Night.\nI used them together, as per instructions for 7 days before writing this review.\nAlways on the look out for products that will improve my skin fullness, plumpness and overall smoothness I was very eager to try this range. Fine lines and wrinkles are a problem (not for a 2 year old but they arefor me). Sadly I am ageing, things sag where they never sagged before so firmness is another complaint.

Fine lines and wrinkles are a problem (not for a 2 year old but they arefor me). Sadly I am ageing, things sag where they never sagged before so firmness is another complaint. I want to look the best I can and hydrated skin just sings!\nThe instructions were; after cleansing and toning,apply 1-2 pumps of OLAY Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence to your face, avoiding the eye and lip area and allow it to absorb briefly. Follow with OLAY Regenerist micro-sculpting cream in the morning and OLAY Regenerist micro-sculpting Night Cream in the evening.\nOLAY Regenerist micro-sculpting cream Moisturiser Night has a kind of weak “blah” scent, no pleasant fragrance here! Has a gel like appearance and texture. Spreads very, very well. Easy to apply too much as this slides and absorbs more than I initially thought. No stickiness but there is a “coating” sensation often felt with night creams.\nI noticed my skin feels more hydrated, appears fuller and generally is smoother. In the limited time to date, I definitely feel an improvement in my overall appearance of my skin.\nI can't say it reduced wrinkles or fine lines in that short time I have been using it but some lines around my mouth do appear to be less visible.\nMy skin feels lovely after using this product, of course it was combined with OLAY Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence and OLAY Regenerist micro-sculpting cream Moisturisert but I feel it is smoother and appears fuller.\nRecommending this product would not be hard at all. I plan to purchase it in future for my own use.\n

Previously, I have tended to steer away from night creams to avoid overloading my face with product as I'm highly susceptible to milia seeds, so I was concerned this product might have an adverse effect on my skin. \n\nWith the highest concentration of Olay's amino-peptide and Hydra Firming complexes, I'm pleased to report that the lightweight gel-like formula agreed wholeheartedly with my skin and adding this step in my night routine in conjunction with the Miracle Boost Pre-Essence took no time and felt completely natural. The scent is also very faint and inoffensive and it's quickly absorbed into the skin so you're ready to hit the pillow without sticking to it. \n\nOne thing: the packaging is identical to the Day version with the word Night in small letters on ... MorePreviously, I have tended to steer away from night creams to avoid overloading my face with product as I'm highly susceptible to milia seeds, so I was concerned this product might have an adverse effect on my skin. \n\nWith the highest concentration of Olay's amino-peptide and Hydra Firming complexes, I'm pleased to report that the lightweight gel-like formula agreed wholeheartedly with my skin and adding this step in my night routine in conjunction with the Miracle Boost Pre-Essence took no time and felt completely natural.

For ease of use, I'd suggest a colour differentiator on the lid or jar. As I noted in my review of the Day cream, I am not a fan of tub-based products as I don't like getting product under my nails.\n\nIn terms of results, while my skin felt and looked good with no reportable reactions or milia seeds, I didn't notice any reduction in visible signs of aging. However, to be fair (don't hate me), I don't have very many so it's possible this product is not designed to be suitable for my face at this stage in life. I enjoyed using the Regenerist range of products and I would still recommend to others to have a go - it's a good quality moisturising product at any rate and that can't be a bad thing. \n

I have been using this night cream along with the Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence as part of my anti-aging regime. This is a lightweight cream that has a slight gel texture, so it absorbs very easily into the skin and does not feel heavy or rich. I find the fragrance a little overpowering and slightly irritating for me, so probably wouldn't recommend this cream for those with sensitive or over-reactive skin types. This cream helps keep my skin smooth and hydrated all night, so I always wake up with softer skin, especially when applied over the Regenerist Pre-Essence. One drawback for me is that it comes in a jar and I really would have preferred a pump bottle or tube instead, as I don't find this packaging very hygienic at all and dislike dipping my ... MoreI have been using this night cream along with the Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence as part of my anti-aging regime.

One drawback for me is that it comes in a jar and I really would have preferred a pump bottle or tube instead, as I don't find this packaging very hygienic at all and dislike dipping my fingers into the cream. I don't have any major lines or wrinkles, just a few fine lines here and there and after using this product for about 4 months I can't say that my lines have significantly improved or changed at all. Overall this cream does have a lovely, smooth velvety texture and it absorbs well leaving my dry cheeks feeling more hydrated instantly. However at this price, I believe Olay do have better moisturisers and creams that seem to work better on my skin, so I cannot justify repurchasing this night cream. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting a lightweight night cream, and think it is best suited to normal-combination skin types as dry skin types may not find it moisturising enough. \n\nPROS:\n- Lightweight, velvety texture that absorbs easily\n- Not too heavy or thick and ideal for night-time use, especially in hot/humid weather\n\nCONS\n- Jar packaging is not ideal, making the product unhygienic \n- No significant changes to skin noticed after using cream for months\n- Slightly irritating fragrance and formula\n- Pricey\n

Not bad and not that good

Thankfully, bought this on a discount. It's a nice cream, it does moisturizes my asian brown skin but it leaves some residues whenever I put sunscreen lotion over or other lotions. It's quite annoying though. For the result I get from it, I can't see any significant changes in my skin but maybe it will when I'll be entering my 40s? The cream is smooth and it gets very slightly greasy. Nonetheless, I'm still using it.

Not for me

First claim that Olay markets this cream to contain is:"highly concentrated Amino-peptide complex that stimulates collagen production to reduce wrinkles, renew skin's surface cells and firm up skin". This ingredient is last on the list, coming after synthetic preservative that can be used in concentrations of 0.1% or less. So this "highly concentrated" complex is present in this cream in Trace amounts. Fact.One active that can be beneficial applied topically on the skin is vitB3 that is present in this formula as 4th ing. Which is good. Base of the cream is water/silicone/glycerin/plastic (aka polyethylene) emulsion. If they got rid of micromised plastic, perhaps I would like cream more. Also packaging is excessive (in plastic too, non recyclable).Cream itself ... MoreFirst claim that Olay markets this cream to contain is:"highly concentrated Amino-peptide complex that stimulates collagen production to reduce wrinkles, renew skin's surface cells and firm up skin".

Therefore, I used it up on my neck and chest. Need something more on my face.

Not recommended

Not sure if the product has changed. These are made in Thailand and have about 6 months to expiration. It’s not white and creamy. It’s more of gel like and the color is more yellow/light brown. It’s not very moisturizing as it should be since this is a night cream. It didn’t cause skin irritation or breakout but I also haven’t noticed any change to the skin after 3 weeks.

Over priced Night Cream

I have never found the perfect night cream yet and have tried that many different ones. This night cream isn't greasy like some and has a lovely fragrance but very expensive for what it is. Lovely packaging but that doesn't help my skin. I only buy when half price. Still trying to find the best cream though
