Ok so I would first like to say I bought this cream and did not receive it free like many others on this review. So my opinion is an honest one. My skin has been super dry and itchy from a new medication that I am on for Lupus so I was looking for an affordable cream that would keep my face moisturized but also one that was potent enough. I tried Roc, Neutrogena, JLo products just to name a few and my skin was still feeling dry. So I looked into this product and purchased it online and today it arrived. I have had it on for 10 hours and it is definitely doing its job. My face feels soft and moisturized and not itchy at all. I will be doing another review in 60 days to show you before and after pics.
This cream is not fragrant and would be a great option for someone not interested in a fragrant product. I didn't have any issues with my skin reacting to the retinol. This appears to be an average product for someone wanting to try a cream with retinol for the first time. What I was disappointed with and confused about was the size of the packaging and the virtually empty container I received. Please see my photos for what it looked like upon opening. I'm not sure if I ended up with a bad batch or if Olay is having issues with their packaging/filling.

this cleanser is probably made for the people that dont wear makeup. i use this every night to remove my full face and it just rearranges the makeup all over my face and it sits on the surface feeling so icky. it has exfoliant beads but they do nothing???

I LOVED this cream have been using it for years.... but suddenly it stopped working like it used to and is changing my skin texture. after looking closer I realized they've changed the formula to include peptides (the front of the jar will says "peptides" now .... compare it to this listing picture which shows without that). my daughter noticed the same changes anyway I won't buy it anymore, we've found an alternative retinol cream.

I've always had "porcelain" skin according to my friends. I wanted to incorporate a retinol product to preserve said skin as I age. This stuff caused me to BREAK OUT (not peel). I was told there would be purging so I stuck with it, but it progressively got worse. I used it for 3 MONTHS before finally stopping 3 weeks ago and my skin is STILL messed up. It totally ruined my skin and self-confidence. I find it weird that they don't list the % of retinol or ingredients. I feel like this stuff is highly chemical and I will look for a cleaner option next time.

I used this on my face for several nights and my skin started peeling so I quit using it for a few nights. Tried to use it again and my face wouldn't stop peeling. So, for me, this was a huge waste of money. Really upsets me because now I'm stuck with a jar of lotion I can't use.

This significantly reduced my wrinkles.

So much pilling from this product as soon as I applied it. Felt okay before it started pilling.

I use a retinol serum at night, but felt I needed a cream to alternate on certain days, this retinol moisturizer is amazing. It's not heavy, has a nice thick consistency, not oily at all, easy to spread on my face. This is my 2nd week using it and I love how clear and bright my skin looks, my dark spots are fading using retinols at night and Vitamin C serum in the morning. I plan to purchase again.

Living in the desert my skin is very dry. It gives me just the right hydration at night while smoothing fine lines and making my skin feel silky. I will not go to bed without it!

I've been using Tretinoin for about a year. I got the Ilay for a gift, so I started using it and only used the Tret on Tuesday's and Thursdays. The Olay had my face and neck peeling like I had a chemical peel. Oh my, it was better than the prescription strength retinol. After a few days of peeling, my skin is brighter and softer than ever. I love this stuff. Please do not alter the ingredients or the strength.

I bought this 2 weeks ago and my skin has been feeling like its burning, especially around the eyes...they're all puffy now too. I wanted to love this because I like the consistency...but sadly can't use it any more. It's making my skin peel too.

Leaves a white residue like crumbs on my skin that I have to wipe off. Same for the moisturizer and serum in the same line. Very disappointing.

Love this and it don't make crowd feet

Visibly reduced puffiness after the first use. Yes, it stings a little, but it feels like its part of the repairing process.

Works for me, give or a try

Wow. Is this stuff greasy. Like putting coconut oil on my face. It did not absorb one bit. Grease all over the pillow.

Lightweight. Very happy with this product

Some can't be bothered to learn about the product, specifically retinol, or even review the right product? Come on. My rating is with limited use (new user & going slow), but I've had no issues…no flaking, piling, redness or burning. I would even describe my skin as close to sensitive, so I was watching for problems. I'm also using their face wash and moisturizer with sunscreen. My skin is already looking plumper, smoother and brighter. Whether that is just the appearance or an actual change, I can't say yet, but I'm happy so far.

I really wanted to love this and I did at first but sadly my skin is SO sensitive and this ended up giving me little bumps and a rash after about 2 weeks of use. I have used straight retinol in the past about once-twice a week and had the same issue so I think my skin just doesn't agree with the retinol part. I will say though if you don't have super sensitive skin this probably would be wonderful! My skin was very hydrated and looked great in the morning after using it (until it didn't). I could probably try to only use a few times a week but I've decided retinol just isn't for me and the rash/bumps aren't worth it!

I woke up this morning with my eyes swollen, red and scaly and Continues be the way into the evening. I have used the brightening cream without any problems.

I bought this on a whim and I can't say I remember to use it every night. Even with that I do like this product. I have very oily skin and it seems to get even more oily a few minutes after washing. When I wash my face at night and apply this product my face feels smooth and velvety. I don't feel the greasiness of some of the other user. A little goes a long way as this product is rich. I feel it is very nourishing.

This is my first time trying this formula, but I've used other Reginerist products and really liked them. I like the results; my skin is more hydrated and feels great. But I can't figure out how I can use it as a night cream (put it on at bed time and leave it) because no matter what I try it pills. I now wash my face after work and put it on, then remove it before bed. Rating reduced because I'm not getting any benefit as a night cream, since I'm removing it a few hours later. and feel like its not working as well as it should.
