Overview

Olay Regenerist supposedly offers an alternative to other ways of exfoliating the skin from dead skin, which is a leading cause of wrinkles. The company claims that Regenerist may be comparable to chemical peels and less harsh on the skin. In addition, this line of formulas is intended to encourage the production of collagen in the skin, which is preferable to attempting to deliver collagen from animal or sea plants.

Featured Ingredients

To accomplish its effects, Regenerist employs the use of peptides, which are precursors to proteins that make up many constituents in the skin, such as collagen and elastin. While some research suggests that peptides may in fact encourage the skin to produce collagen, the effect does not seem to be as dramatic as other compounds, such as Glucosamine Complex, which boosts collagen my 168% or more.  The Regenerist line of formulas also offers some of the more common antioxidants, such as Vitamin E, Vitamin B3 and ProVitamin B5. These nutrients have been shown to help protect the skin from sun exposure and environmental pollutants, which can degrade the skin and cause wrinkles. But the AntiAging-Reviews.com researchers are concerned that these synthetic forms of the vitamins may cause side effects for some people. The team is encouraged, however, that Regenerist formulas contain Green Tea, which is a natural botanical antioxidant and may be less harsh yet more powerful than the aforementioned vitamins. Hopefully, the makers of Regenerist add more of these compounds and replace synthetic vitamins with more natural sources. 

Web Site Description

The Olay web site is very attractive and well constructed, which is what you would expect from a successful retail company with years of financial success. They obviously have spent a lot of money to make their web site appealing. The descriptions of the products seem succinct and easy to understand. The web site does not include testimonials from customers who have used the products, and there is a disturbing lack of scientific research on the ingredients in the product line. Plus, the only way to order Olay Regenerist is by visiting a retail store, which may be inconvenient and more expensive for the Internet consumer.

Positives

- Tries to encourage skin to produce collagen, rather than trying to deliver non-human collagen to the skin

- Use of at least one botanical antioxidant, which is preferable to synthetic vitamins

 Negatives- Online ordering is not available

- Regenerist does not contain Glucosamine Complex, which could enhance collagen production by 168%

- No costumer testimonials nor proof of its effects

Conclusion

Olay Regenerist seems to be popular because of Olay’s history of success in the retail industry, but this formula lacks essential components that could make it perform as claimed. While the use of peptides and antioxidants will cause some reduction of wrinkles and fine lines, the effect would be better if they had decided to use more powerful ingredients.
