How do you take a product that has been garnering great results and kudos and make it even more superior? That is what the folks at Olay have been working on with their Reinvent Olay Pro-X contest. Olay, the name women have been trusting for years, has a line of skin care products that focuses on the problems women’s skin faces every day. Aging skin, environment and stressors all attack our skin and Olay has been helping to solve these problems with their professional line of skin care, Olay Pro-X Skin Care. I was sent some product for review.
Over the past month or so, Olay has been holding a contest that sought ideas and proposals to help reinvent Pro-X. Why take something good and make it better? Because Olay wants this product line to be the only one you ever need. They want this line to be more irresistible, enjoyable, and desirable than ever ~ for the most discerning, demanding and savvy women.
Idea proposals looked at all types of categories including the Pro-X story and how and where it is presented, the existing products and ideas on new Pro-X products, the packaging and the labeling, the Olay Pro-X shopping experience, whether it be live and in person, retail or online. Everything about Olay Pro-X was fair game. The goal is to take Olay Pro-X to the forefront of the skin care lines.
Personally, I have been using Olay skin care for many years. I was thrilled to be able to try the Pro-X Starter Kit, courtesy of Olay. This is a 3 piece kit that consists of an Age Repair Lotion with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30, Eye Restoration Complex and Wrinkle Smoothing Cream. This is basis of any skin care regimen that is used daily.
I started with the Eye Restoration Complex as it is a treatment and those always go first. It is in a tube that you simply apply to your entire eye area, including lids. The cream is a nice consistency and it is easy to spread and apply. I like that there is no scent and no oily feeling. Often, when I apply a cream to my lids, within an hour or so, I get a greasy, oily feeling and I have to wipe my eye lids off. Not so with this. Huge plus for me as I usually do not put eye cream on my lids for this reason. Now I can!
The Age Repair Lotion with SPF 30 is the perfect go to for the daytime. With the SPF included, you will be protecting your skin from sun damage and you can apply this every 2 hours, if you are in the direct sun or spending excessive time outdoors. The lotion is a creamy, light texture and there is no greasy feeling. This absorbed quickly and made my skin feel great. I have been using this on the weekends and on days I don’t have to wear make up. It is a nice alternative to a thicker cream and perfect for wearing in the sun too. No smelly sunscreen scent either!
My favorite product of these 3 is the Wrinkle Smoothing Cream. It has been designed and professionally tested to smooth uneven textures with moisture to help combat the look of fine lines and wrinkles. This they offer as the nighttime cream, but I use it during the day too. I have a lot of restoration to do on my face, so I need all the help I can get. I like that it absorbs fast with no heavy, oily residue and I can wear it under makeup with my foundation not sliding off from heavy ingredients. My skin feels great with it and my lines are nice and plump for the moisture in the cream, reducing their visibility.
The Pro-X line has many other products for a complete skin care system and they are available at major retailers and online. The contest is over to help reinvent Olay Pro-X with the winners to be announced April 30th, but keep your eye out over the next few months for the upcoming changes and direction that this line may take. Personally, I think this starter kit is a great way to get women on track with their skin care regimen. It is backed by a name we know and love and can trust. The results are beautiful, soft skin that I am proud to wear, thanks to Olay

I love Olay, and it’s nice to see that they’re working to keep up with their customer’s needs. I haven’t tried the eye restoration, so I’ll have to keep an eye out for it.
I have used Olay for over 40+ years now. I was wondering about this new line they have out there. Thank you for the review! I definitely will continue to be a fan of Oil of Olay!
I love Olay products. I’ve never tried these but after reading your review, I may just try to make that a priority.
My mother, who is 71 and doesn’t look it for sure, has been a ProX fan since they launched. Whenever it is gift time, that is the only thing she wants!
I think it is great that Olay is continuing to reinvent itself and improb]ve its products. I am glad to hear that the Eye Restoration complex does not leave an oily feel on the lids. I shall be looing forward to the new breakthroughs.
Olay comes up with the best products.
I still remember when I was a kid and my mom used Oil Of Olay in the little pink bottles! Wow have they reinvented themselves and really grown with the times. NO one would ever guess they were here for beauty for generations bc they are not old fashioned at all. I love how they are always updating with the latest breakthroughs in beauty and antiaging. And a long line of variety of skincare products of all kinds. I LOVE Olay!
