Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre Essence 40 ml

I like the product. The listing is 2 regular size jars. I received 4 miniature, I guess it is the travel size. I feel this is deceptive. \nI did carefully check the contents at least 4 times and it was not listed that it was a small size. \nI will definitely be more cautious if I continue to do business. I have purchased from Groupon for many years (10-15).

This serum from Olay is designed to be used in conjunction with the day and night cream in the same range.\n\nIt comes in a sturdy hard plastic bottle with 40mls of product. The eye dropper applicator is a little different to your standard dropper found in similar products. To use the dropper you need to first twist the cap to make the button pop up which you then press to load the serum. You then unscrew the cap completely and press the button again to release the serum into your hand. I quite like this design and found it didn’t drip and make a mess like similar products have done for me previously.\n\nThe serum itself is a clear thin gel consistency but not so thin that it runs all over the place. It has a scent that’s a little hard to describe. It’s almost a ... MoreThis serum from Olay is designed to be used in conjunction with the day and night cream in the same range.\n\nIt comes in a sturdy hard plastic bottle with 40mls of product.

I quite like this design and found it didn’t drip and make a mess like similar products have done for me previously.\n\nThe serum itself is a clear thin gel consistency but not so thin that it runs all over the place. It has a scent that’s a little hard to describe. It’s almost a marine or salty scent which I quite liked. It’s also not too overpowering and isn’t detectable once applied to the face.\n\nThe instructions say to use two pumps of product to cover the face. I personally found this to be way too much product and feel that about two thirds of a pump was more than enough to cover my face and neck. I suggest that you start with one pump and then add another if you feel it’s necessary. The instructions also say to apply twice daily before applying your day and night cream which is fairly standard.\n\nI really enjoyed the feel of this serum. It applies smoothly and doesn’t feel oily and yet still moisturises well. I normally find that non oil based serums can make my skin feel a bit ‘tight’ but I didn’t experience that at all. I also found that it had a nice ‘plumping’ effect on the skin which made my face look fresh and hydrated.\n\nWhile I used this together with the matching day and night cream, I feel that it would also work well with other brands. I found that this even worked well just on its own as a quick pick me up during the day (on non makeup days at home). I’ve been very pleased with the results and definitely recommend you give this one a try.\n

I had heard so much about the Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence that I simply had to try it in conjunction with the Micro-Sculpting Cream. \n \nThe essence is packaged in a red plastic bottle with an auto-dropper dispenser to ensure the exact amount of product is delivered. The bottle contains 40ml of product. \n \nI have mature, combination skin with fine lines and small areas of visible pores. My skin is not sensitive at all, and I haven’t had any adverse reaction to any of the dozens of products I have tried,including this one. \n \nMyskincare routine consists of a toner, essence, serum, moisturiser and eye cream morning and night.

When I apply the clear gel essence it feels really soothing and silky and it dries really quickly. I then layer my serum and moisturiser. For day time I follow up with my BB cream which applies smoothly without any patchiness. I’ve now been using the Pre-Essence for 4 weeks. \n \nOn the Olay.com.au website the description of this product states ‘use it together with Olay’s most advanced Micro-Sculpting Cream to look up to 10 years younger in just 4 weeks’. Honestly? Maybe the key words here are ‘up to’ because I haven’t come across any lotion or potion which has visibly made me (or any ofmy friends) look even five years, let alone 10 years, younger in only 4 weeks. And, put to the test, this product used in conjunction with the Micro-Sculpting Cream didn’t work miracles in 4 weeks either. On a lighter and more positive side, perhaps my skin is much better than I thought and the product didn’t have enough to work on. Haha\n \nI’ll continue to use the Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence inconjunction with the Micro-Sculpting day and night creams in the hope that more long time use will see firmer skin with visibly reduced fine lines and pores rather than just soft, smooth, hydrated skin. As for recommending this product, I believe all products work differently on different people so give this product a go to see what you think. \n \n

I have been using Olay skincare products my whole life and now that I am getting older I decided to try the Olay Regenerist range. I never really used facial serums in the past so I thought I would try the Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence, as it is fairly reasonably priced and I love the Olay brand. It comes in a beautiful red bottle with a dropper applicator, and I find this helps to ensure not too much product is dispensed each time. Only a few drops is needed each time and I use this product both morning and night on my face and neck, before I apply any other moisturiser. It absorbs instantly without leaving heavy residue, I do find that it can initially feel a bit sticky but that quickly disappears after a few minutes.

It comes in a beautiful red bottle with a dropper applicator, and I find this helps to ensure not too much product is dispensed each time. Only a few drops is needed each time and I use this product both morning and night on my face and neck, before I apply any other moisturiser. It absorbs instantly without leaving heavy residue, I do find that it can initially feel a bit sticky but that quickly disappears after a few minutes. Once applied it definitely leaves skin feeling super hydrated, moisturised and soft. I also find that it helps other creams you apply afterwards to absorb better into the skin, leaving skin super plump and dewy. I have slightly dry skin, especially around my cheeks and forehead so I always use a moisturiser after I apply this serum and at night I apply the Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Night Cream on top for extra nourishment. I don't have any significant fine lines or wrinkles just a few on my forehead, so I cannot say if this product works to reduce aging or wrinkles significantly. However I do have dehydration lines on my cheeks and this serum does help instantly smooth out dryness and leaves skin looking brighter, more healthy and radiant. I also don't find the fragrance too overpowering or unpleasant; it's actually a nice refreshing scent that doesn't irritate my skin at all. Overall I think this is an inexpensive yet effective everyday serum if you want that extra bit of hydration, nourishment and glow added to your skin. I recommend this product as it definitely helps any moisturiser, treatments or BB creams you apply on top to absorb more effectively, without making skin feel too heavy or greasy. \n\nPROS:\n- Fairly inexpensive for a facial serum\n- Has a handy dropper applicator, so the same amount of product can be dispensed each time\n- Lightweight; leaves skin hydrated, moisturised and smooth\n- Helps other products applied afterwards go on more smoothly and easily\n\nCONS:\n- No significant or noticeable firming or changes to my existing fine lines\n

I started using the Olay miracle boost serum in place of my face cream when the weather started to get warmer. I also like to switch up my skincare during the year as I find that my skin gets stuck in a rut, especially if I'm using the same products for several months. Plus it's a good excuse to try some new products! My skin doesn't need that much hydration as I've got oily/combination skin so a serum was exactly what I needed. Fine lines and wrinkles were not something I was too concerned with as I'm still in my early 20's but I've read so many articles about how you should start using anti ageing products as early as you can to prevent it from getting worse as you get older so have the added anti ageing benefits was a plus.

The serum had everything I had wanted and being that it was one of the first Olay products I had ever tried I did not know what to expect. The serum comes in a dropper form and the serum was very lightweight. Just two to three drops I pressed the serum onto my face and neck. It felt so silky and because of the lightweight texture it absorbed so easily without leaving a trace of residue behind. My skin instantly felt hydrated. After only two days of using the serum I noticed that my skin felt a lot smoother. My pores weren't as noticeable around my cheeks and nose. The texture of my skin was a lot softer and it just looked much more even. It gave my skin a nice, healthy glow! Something I hadn't had before. It revived my complexion and was so amazed at how fast it worked. I used it both morning and night and sometimes I would use it as a makeup primer because in order to have great looking makeup you need a great base and this serum definitely helped with that. For my combo skin it was just the right balance of moisture with the added benefits or refining my pores and firming my skin. A great product for those who want to start using anti ageing products but don't know where to start! It's gentle and great for all ages.

After noticing some wrinkles, I felt it was time to dabble in the anti-ageing field! \n\nFirstly, I have to say this packaging and concept is so cool! It comes in a cute red bottle with a silver lid, and to use the product you have to turn the lid, which sucks up the product getting it ready for use. Then you can dispense as much of the product as you like out.\n\nAs I only have wrinkles around my eyes, I would put the product there, so I could maximise the use. \n\nMy skin is known to be allergic to some creams, however I didn't have any reactions to the moisturiser or booster. \n\nWhen I'm using a particular brand, I usually don't mix with other brands. I would use this booster with another Olay Regenerist moisturiser product such as the Whip or Micro-Sculpting ... MoreAfter noticing some wrinkles, I felt it was time to dabble in the anti-ageing field! \n\nFirstly, I have to say this packaging and concept is so cool!

I would use this booster with another Olay Regenerist moisturiser product such as the Whip or Micro-Sculpting Cream (there is a fragrance free, night, and normal version) as the booster is made to enhance the active ingredients in the moisturisers. \n\nI didn't notice a smell to the booster, which I liked, as the Whip cream has a fragrance. It definitely feels like a serum, however has a smooth texture and absorbs nicely into the skin. \n\nIn terms of the price, if you notice a difference, then of course it's worth it! If you're unsure about the booster, try out the moisturiser first, and see how that goes. If you like it, try the booster and you might get even better results! I do like that this product has sales so it's more enticing to try new things. \n

Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence

Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence is an essence that is formulated to absorb quickly. It hydrates the skin and prepares it for other skincare products in a routine.The essence is packaged in a sturdy plastic with 40 ml of product. It has the striking red colour common to the Regenerist line. I love the delivery system. It has a dropper lid that when unscrewed sucks up a measured dose of product. I use one dropper for face and the same for the neck.I am not a fan of scented skincare and the floral fragrance was what I noticed first and I was instantly disappointed. It's not an offensive scent, but not one that I enjoy.The essence is of a serum consistency. It absorbs quickly leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth.

Was I expecting too much? Possibly, but I just didn't notice any benefit to my skin that impressed me. Not a terrible product by any means, but a bit meh for me.

Pre-serum serum?

I have been using Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence for a few years now and it has been a staple product. Until now. This clear liquid is not a serum but a product to prepare your skin for serum application. Although I had been using it as a serum as that was how I had been told to use it by the sales assistant. It was while I was on a serum trial that I started to question whether the Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence did anything for my skin on its own. I tested this out by only applying to one side of my face for about a month (but still applying moisturiser of course) and as I suspected, on its own, it doesn't do a heck of a lot. It might help with absorption of other products but I'm not a ten step skincare application person.

I'd rather skip this step and apply something with a bit more "oomph" for my skin. It's not a bad product just a superflous product. I do love the dispenser though.

Truly a Miracle for your skin

Olay happens to be one of my favorite skincare brands. I was doubtful about the claims to have my skin looking 10 years younger. I felt that I would simply be happy if this new product didn't upset my sensitive skin.My Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence arrived from Chemist Warehouse and that night I took it out of the box and then began my battle to work out how to open the bottle. I struggled away twisting the top and pumping the lid. I inspected the lid over and over and felt that I must have a faulty bottle that was missing a hole for the essence to come out. I tried again and found that I just needed to be a little more forceful and twist the lid a little further. The complete silver lid unscrews and exposes the dropper which fills with the exact ... MoreOlay happens to be one of my favorite skincare brands.

I tried again and found that I just needed to be a little more forceful and twist the lid a little further. The complete silver lid unscrews and exposes the dropper which fills with the exact amount required.The Essence is a clear liquid and has a pleasant fragrance. It smooths on easily and is readily absorbed by the skin. The idea is that you use the essence on freshly cleansed skin and then you apply your serums and moisturiser. The essence stimulates your skins cells and helps them to absorb two times the normal amount of goodness from your serums and moisturizers then normal. This means that you are receiving extra benefit from your serums and moisturizers.All very bold claims and as I said previously I was very doubtful, but after just one use I noticed positive changes in my skin. As I continued to use the essence my skin continued to improve. I am thrilled and I apologize for doubting Olay! I was wrong. This is honestly an amazing product. I am in love and there is no way that I ever want to be without a bottle of Miracle Boost. One of the great things with the packaging is that I can clearly see how much product I have left and even though the lid was confusing to work out at the start once you know how it works its brilliant as it closes firmly and it's brilliant for travel without having to worry that it will leak.This product is as it says, A Miracle! You HAVE to try it!

Velvet Smooth skin

Miracle Essence is a clear liquid with a mild scent. It applies smoothly and is quickly absorbed by the skin. The concept is to apply the essence to freshly washed skin before applying serums and moisturiser. The essence stimulates your skin's cells, allowing them to absorb twice as much goodness from serums and moisturisers as they normally would. This signifies that your serums and moisturisers are working harder for you. Since using this serum, my skin has felt like velvet.
