I have used Olay regenerist Micro-sculpting cream in the red jar for 30 years. For 30 years, I promoted and told people it was the greatest because people would tell me how great my skin looked. Now, they (Olay) have changed the formula and it is terrible. My face broke out in red welps that burned & itched. My eyes would be burning and watering.… Read more

Also,my face looked splotchy & awful. Why would someone change a product that really worked? They need to go back to the old formula because it really did work !! I do not recommend this product to anyone. Olay, go back to the old formula and we will in turn start purchasing it again. Myself and thousands of other women would be so happy and pleased !

Do not purchase – I used it for a month and the only difference to my skin was more wrinkles and my poor skin was so so dry. I definitely do not recommend this product. I purchased it thru Chemist Warehouse and there is no spot on their website to give reviews. Show details

Red burning itching reaction like many others – Within a couple of hours of applying, my face was red, hot to the touch, with small bumps. An extra zyrtec did not help much, but it maybe slowed the progress. Took benadryl at bed time and it was greatly improved by morning but not cleared up. I see oil of Olive's canned and scripted responses. Their taking time to make a canned scripted response is not encouraging. Show details

Ohemgee!!! – I used it Saturday PM and by Monday evening had blisters all over and inside of my nose. Tuesday morning, no skin on my nose. Just dead skin that was sliding off! So painful!! Immediate care Dr. told me to go home and throw it out. He prescribed antibiotic ointment that I need to use 2x per day for 7 days! Show details

Used to love this product but now it’s burning my skin – I have used this cream on and off for years, buying whenever I could afford it. Last time I used this was about 18 months ago. However the cream I bought last week has left red patchy burns around my chin. It stings when I put it on. I’ll have to stop using this product. I wonder if there have been changes to the formulation? Show details

Warning - Severe allergic reaction - burning, itching, swelling, peeling – I feel really stupid not figuring out what was causing my allergic reaction to this product earlier. I’ve used it for a year on and off, but all of a sudden 2 months ago I started having issues. I would not have a reaction the first day, but thinking back, on 2nd or 3rd use or days later, I would have redness, swelling, and itching, then my… Read more

entire face peeled off. I was convinced it was something I was ingesting, so cut many things out of my diet, but it kept happening randomly. After going to the dermatologist twice, and it happened a 5th time, We finally figured out what it was. This product may be fine for most people - but being that I’ve never been allergic to anything, I’d suggest doing a skin patch before putting on your face. If I had read these reviews a few months ago, I would have saved myself a lot of frustration & pain. Good news is my skin has peeled so many times, it did get rid of brown spots and after recovering, my skin has never looked better! Lol

Very rich and hydrating cream – My skin looks hydrated, glowing and feels incredibly soft. I use the Micro - Sculpting Cream every day and night and for more than 2 Months now and couldn’t be happier. Show details

I wish I had found it sooner! – Olay Regenerist has changed my skin for the better! This cream has minimised my pores immensely, it leaves my skin feeling soft and moist (not at all oily) with a shimmery glow. It smells amazing and I’ve also found I’ve stopped breaking out as much. This is now my go to moisturiser and I will recommend it to anyone. Show details

Renew & rejuvenate – Visible wrinkles fade slowly . There was a bit sting in the beginning, the results made up for it. I would recommend using it for a month before you decide if it benefits you. Show details

Irritated my skin - awful reaction – This caused massive irritation! My skin went red and itchy and blotchy. My skin has never reacted to any skin care products before. I do not believe that this has been appropriately tested or there is an issue of quality control. I see this was made in Thailand batch number 90179730 - Olay - we have a problem! Show details

Three Months with Olay Regenerist – After using it for three months later, here's my honest take. First Impressions: The packaging is sleek and clean, and the price tag definitely won me over. I grabbed the Micro-Sculpting Cream (moisturizer) because, hello, wrinkles are my nemesis. The texture is nice, lightweight and creamy, and it sinks in quickly without leaving a greasy… Read more

film. Big plus!

The Good Stuff:

After using it religiously morning and day for three months, I have to say my skin feels great. It's definitely more hydrated, which is a win in my book (especially during these harsh winter months). My skin tone looks a bit more even too, and I think some fine lines around my eyes might be a tad less noticeable? It's subtle, but I'll take it!

The Not-So-Great Stuff:

Now, the jury's still out on the wrinkle-reduction claims. Three months might not be enough to see dramatic results, but I wasn't blown away. Also, a heads-up for anyone with sensitive skin: this does have fragrance, which didn't irritate me, but it's something to consider.

The Verdict:

Overall, I'm happy with Olay Regenerist. It's a solid moisturizer that delivers on hydration and gives a nice glow. But for the price and ease of use, I'd recommend giving it a try!

Red itchy skin – Is Olay regenerist meant to resurface my skin because it is turning my skin red with some itching. Please let me know if this is normal like when using retinal. I've never had this reaction in all the years I've been using it. Please let me know how the formula has been changed. I see that many others are experiencing the same effects. Why? Show details

Beware! – I used this product just after washing my face before bed. I awoke during the night with burning skin where I had put the cream. I got up and looked in the mirror to find bright red, burning skin and welts everywhere I put the cream. I had burns all around my eyes, cheeks, and neck. Nowhere on the container is a warning. Terrible product! Show details

Burned My Face – A soon as I put the cream on, my face started burning to a point I couldn't tolerate. I quickly washed off. I used Ponds Cold Cream for sensitive skin - took the burn off right away! I am now using Cera Ve Resurfacing cream with no issues at all. Show details

Horrible – My face became red and blotchy. I also broke out in pimples. This is a very harsh product and will have to be thrown away. I believe it to be a cheap knock off that somehow got put on store shelves. Show details

Red and burning skin – I used olay power duo since 2018 and i got clear skin. But early this 2023, i noticed that my skin started to burn and still continue using it. But day by day, i feel uncomfortable so i decided to stop using it for days. And the red and burning feeling subsided. After few days, i tried using it again, but the itchy and burning feeling goes back. I… Read more

tried that routine, thrice. Eventually, i decided to stop using it. It made me sad because my skin gets used to olay power duo for 4 consecutive years. But i dont want to risk now coz it made my skin irritated.

Suddenly causing breakouts – I started using this when my skin began showing signs of aging about a year ago. I have used Olay products since I was a teenager, at least 20 years. This new pot, purchased in a pharmacy, has been breaking out my skin horribly. It is red, bumpy, and inflamed. The formula must have changed. I’m seeing so many commenters with the same issue. This should be addressed. Show details

Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream – I have used Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting cream before and have not had any problems until now. My face gets itchy with red spots. I had to wash my face to remove the cream and my face is calming down now. Has the formula changed? I used the same product a year ago with no problem. Show details

It used to be wonderful, but seems to have changed – I have used oil of Olay products for 45 years. It always made my skin so soft and kept it young looking. After my last jar ran out, I purchased a new one, and my face broke out with blisters and became all red. Have you change this product? I can no longer use it and I’m very upset. I agree with all these other women some thing is different and it… Read more

is not the DNA changes that you were speaking of. I use the product before, and never had a problem, it is upsetting because I really love your products, but don’t want to waste my money anymore buying any more of them and having to throw them away. Go back to your old formula it worked much better.

Badly burned my face and neck – Your company must have changed the formula because I used this cream a few years ago and never had this reaction before, which by other online reviews has also happened to many other people.

Burns my face – My wife encouraged me to use some Olay Regenerist Microsculpting cream she had bought in December 2022 at Costco. I have now tried it 6 times. My trials occurred for two days each after which my face turned red and had a burning feeling. I am now convinced the burning is due to the cream. I thought so earlier, but persisted in trying because… Read more

an age spot does seem to be diminishing, but this is the end of my trials. The burning feeling is too much. It goes away after not using the product.
