I've been worried about how my skin got so dry and nothing seem to work on my skin anymore. I expressed this dilemma in a few of my beauty-related posts last year. I also went to a derma to re-assess my skin condition. I had phases where I need to switch or rotate brands, Olay included, just to recondition my skin again because it became more sensitive, dull, and dry. I started to observe these changes when I was nearing 40. Two weeks ago, I happily reunited with my old reliable Olay -- this time with the new Regenerist Miracle Duo.
"Studies have shown that Skin Cell Energy declines as women age. Skin Cell Energy allows skin to produce and maintain radiance, firmness and hydration. It affects skin’s ability to fight signs of ageing and absorb anti-ageing treatments.
That's exactly what happened to me! You know I'm not much of a beauty buff. I have a very basic skin care regimen - cleanse, exfoliate weekly, moisturize. Well, it's not working anymore. Age matters talaga, huhuhuhu...
My dilemma:
Regular day and night creams don't seem to effectively moisturize my ageing skin. It's more dry and sensitive than ever, with more visible fine lines and every present dark under-eye (aggravated by allergy).
I've tried moisturizing oils too, and though I felt my face was more dewy, it didn't get absorbed well by my skin so at the end of the day, my face still looks and feels dull and dry. I'm ready for some major changes.
My new solution:
Olay Regenerist Miracle Duo -- I used the products immediately the day I received my kit. After I showered, I cleansed my face, applied the essence, then moisturized as instructed. Then off to bed I went. I have very high hopes that the quality of my skin will greatly improve after regular use.
Let's take a closer look at this #MiracleDuo and how these anti-aging wonder products can help us achieve our best beautiful.

What I like about the Micro-sculpting Cream:
"Studies have shown that Skin Cell Energy declines as women age. Skin Cell Energy allows skin to produce and maintain radiance, firmness and hydration. It affects skin’s ability to fight signs of ageing and absorb anti-ageing treatments.
The self-repairing nature of skin deteriorates when ageing and majority of women also felt that the absorption of their skincare regimen is not as effective as before." - Olay

Olay Regenerist comes in an elegant red jar. We're all used to creams in a jar, but I don't like dipping my finger in creams, heehee. Maybe next time, they can also add SPF in the moisturizer, and will be in a pump bottle, similar to the Olay Total Effects I used before. =)
How to use Olay #MiracleDuo:
- After cleansing your skin, pat dry and apply the new Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Pre-essence on your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. 1 pump is all I need for my face.
- Allow skin to absorb the essence for a few seconds -- it will help the active ingredients of the cream to penetrate deeper into your skin.
- Apply Olay Regenerist Microsculpting Cream, a pea-size amount is enough.
- Dot the cream on face and focus on forehead, cheeks, nose, chin and jaw line. Use upward and outward strokes.
You know I'm not fond of posting my face up close, so cropped shots na lang, just to show how my skin is without makeup, before and after use of Olay Miracle Duo. =)

So far, so good for me! My dry patches on the face disappeared, and I really felt my skin is more hydrated and smoother. I'm thankful that they sponsored this product review 'coz I was really on the look out for a new skin care regimen and I’ve always been hiyang with Olay. =) The prices are very reasonable too, compared with other anti-aging products.
For best results, use the #MiracleDuo twice a day -- morning and before bedtime.
