Hi all, I've been using the Olay ProX for about 2 weeks now (night cream & day cream) and I like it very much. Skin stays hydrated and smooth, nice light fragrance, SPF 15 on the day cream which leaves no residue/oil and I have observed some diminishment in fine lines. If you are not "wed" to a current skin cream give it a try!

I have tried the pro x repair lotion (which is the one with spf 30) and I am very pleased with it. I used to use the definity foaming moisturizer for the day, and the pro x seems lighter but more moisturizing. The niacinamide in it is also a great protector. The eye restoration cream was really drying, which was somewhat of a disappointment. I prefer skinceuticals with .1 % retinol over the deep wrinkle treatment because it smoothed more of the fine line on my forehead than the Olay deep wrinkle treatment. The hydra firming cream was a bit too moisturizing for me but I am 28 years old so my skin tends to retain moisture very nicely. Over all for me the regenerist and definity lines are better than pro x and less money. I do, however prefer the repair lotion since it has an spf 30 in it.

I really splurged and purchased the wrinkle repair protocol about 3 weeks ago and I love it. I've tried most of the olay lines and they have been average in my opinion but this line has been amazing to me. It's only been 3 weeks and I see a significant change in my skin, my pores are much less noticeable, the fine lines (and some not so fine) are fading and the overall appearance has a fresher more radiant appearance. I keep glancing in the mirror at the refreshed looking me! I have been feeling bad about my appearance and this has been a real nice boost for me.
A note about the under eye lotion, the first few days it looked like it was making things worse but soon after it really did smooth out my eye area. Guess my skin was in transition. I will try the hydro firm next, anyone have an opinion on it?

Hi Ladies

I've been meaning to post my review of this line...I am seriously loving it!! What drew me to the Pro X in the first place was that I seen there was no fragrance in the ingredient list, which was very surprising to me being an Olay product...my skin is super sensitive to anything fragranced, and I break out in excema and cystic acne if I use the wrong product! What also drove me to take the plunge and try it was the money back guarantee, hey if they are backing up they're product with a guarantee it must be pretty good Very Happy

My first purchase was the hydra firming cream...I've been searching for a good night cream, I've been noticing that my skin is losing some of its firmness. This cream is absolutely amazing...it is light in texture and sinks into your skin beautifully, my skin is glowing in the morning, I've been using it for over a couple of weeks now and its caused no irritation at all! I'm very surprised, and my skin looks plump and smooth!
It hasn't really addressed any deep set lines yet, but it has smoothed out the fine ones! I will keep using it anyways because it makes my skin feel like silk....really!

Ingredients:water,cyclopentasiloxane, glycerin, niacinamide,pentlene glycol,, ethylene/acrylic acid copolymer, dimethicone, dimethicone crosspolymer, hexamidine diisethionate, tocopheryl acetate, palmitoyl dipeptide-7, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, peg-10 dimethicone crosspolymer, panthenol, stearyl dimethicone, bis-peg/ppg-14/14 dimethicone,,peg-10 dimethicone, benzyl alcohol, cetyl ricinoleate, methylparaben, magnesium sulfate,ethylparaben, peg-100 sterate, lactic acid, decyl glucoside.

I also got the anti-aging starter protocol kit at superstore (im Canadian)...it was 89.99 with a coupon for 10 dollars off so I thought what the hay, got nothing to lose! I've only tried the age protection lotion with SPF 30 and the eye restoration complex and so far I'm loving the lotion...I'm usually quite sensitive to all forms of spf, but this hasn't broke me out one bit...and I also love the texture, sinks right in without being greasy or leaving a white cast. It is also unscented, but does have the strong smell of sunscreen!I hope it continues to work well for me...I just might of finally found a sunscreen my skin can actually tolerate!! Very Happy

Active Ingredients:8.0% Homosalate, 3.0% Avobenzone, 2.25% Octocrylene, 2.0% Ensulizole....oh wow, sorry if there is any spelling mistakes, that is quite a list to of words to type! Shock

I haven't used the eye restoration complex too much yet...so I won't comment on this one...so far I find it makes my eyes puffy in the morning...maybe I'm using too much?

And I have not used the wrinkle smoothing cream, as I would like to use up my hydra firming cream first before I introduce a new product to my rather sensitive prone skin...but so far I think the Pro X line is Xcellent...try it...you have nothing to lose! Cool
