Olay® Regenerist™ Overview

Does Olay® Regenerist™ "regenerate skin’s appearance, renewing it outer layer one cell at a time" as the manufacturer claims? This line of products may be affordable, but after looking at the ingredients you may have your doubts that its even worth the asking price.

Ingredients at a Glance

There are tons of ingredients in the Regenerist™ line, many of them preservatives and stabilizers. The active ingredients featured on the official website include green tea, amino-peptide complex, vitamin B3, cucumber, comfrey, fruit extracts, pentapeptides, Pal-KTTKS, and allantoin.

Ingredients in Focus

The Olay® Regenerist™ formulas include a few components that may have a significant effect on facial skin. Allantoin, for instance, pulls water into the skin thereby smoothing out some fine lines by expanding the skin and helping shed dead cells. Pentapeptides may contribute to the skin’s collagen—a loss of peptides slows collagen production, a replenishment of peptides being vital to skin’s health as you age.

Beyond this, the Regenerist® formulas seem to be made with middle of the road ingredients. Vitamin E and B are fine and necessary for skin health, yet they need not be applied via beauty cream as they are consumed in most diets. And ingredient like Pal-KTTKS, which is a fragment of collagen, may promote collagen production but with no proof behind it this may simply be another quasi-useful component.

Positives

• Made with essential vitamins that aid the skin’s health
• Several peptide incorporated into most Regenerist™ formulas

Negatives

• Contains only part of Matrixyl 3000, a preferred peptide complex
• Contains typical, and likely less effective, moisturizers
• Seem more concerned with the turnover of old skin cells for new ones rather than reducing lines or adding more collagen
• Does not seem to contain an ingredient that works to smooth wrinkles directly

Final Thoughts

Regenerist™ products are fairly affordable, yes, but keep in mind that you will be getting a product comparable to the price you paid. While their restorative serums may cost a bit less, they do not include the complete Matrixyl 3000; their moisturizers may be cost effective but they also fail to include Hyaluronic Acid. And the lack of a wrinkle remover like Argireline is baffling, considering these products seem to be geared towards those with aging skin. We suggest looking for formulas that use quality ingredients, are still within a reasonable price range, and are guaranteed to leave you skin healthy and glowing.
