As a 42-year-old woman, my skin care routine is just as important as taking my daily vitamins. Having clear, youthful skin is a flex I don’t take for granted. That’s because, in addition to using cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreen, I’ve also introduced products like Olay’s Regenerist micro-sculpting cream for its anti-aging properties.
I never grow tired of hearing people say I look younger than my age. In fact, that compliment has pushed me to be more intentional about preventative skin care. I may not have pronounced fine lines and wrinkles yet, but if adding one more step to my routine can help prevent them from forming, especially when cold air and indoor heat can leave skin looking dull and dehydrated, I figured it was worth trying.
The micro-sculpting cream is said to hydrate, firm and smooth the skin, thanks to ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and amino peptides. The brand recently upgraded its formula to include triple collagen peptides, which can improve wrinkles, and pro-vitamin B5, which hydrates the skin on a cellular level. These benefits are significant during the winter months, when cold temperatures and low humidity can compromise the skin’s barrier. With strong, promising claims, I wondered if this moisturizer was worth the hype.
