Our panel of Review Crew® testers put these regimens to the test.

The panel

Beauty Crew sent the ProX by Olay skin care regimens to a panel of women aged 25 to 50 with a range of skin types.

Half of the panel received the ProX by Olay Brightening Hydrating Essence Water, ProX by Olay Brightening Repair Cream and ProX by Olay Brightening Spot Essence Serum.

The other half received the ProX by Olay Anti-aging Wrinkle Smoothing Cream, ProX by Olay Anti-aging Rejuvenating Clear Lotion, and ProX By Olay Anti-aging 3D Youth Essence Serum.

The lowdown

Here’s what the Review Crew® loved about the Pro X by Olay products.

ProX by Olay Brightening Hydrating Essence Water: Reviewers loved how hydrated their skin felt after using the essence. In fact, a number of our members had never used an essence before and now they’re completely converted to the lightweight offering.

ProX by Olay Brightening Repair Cream: Members loved the occlusive formula, which helped to deeply nourish and repair skin. Many noted it also didn’t leave their skin feeling heavy or greasy throughout the day, thanks to a fast-absorbing formula.

ProX by Olay Brightening Spot Essence Serum: A few of our members who struggle with discolouration, scarring and blemishes loved how effective this little guy was at brightening, leaving their complexions glowing and unified in tone.

ProX by Olay Anti-aging Wrinkle Smoothing Cream: Reviewers really loved this lightweight, anti-ageing option, saying they were able to notice a defined improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with continued use.

ProX by Olay Anti-aging Rejuvenating Clear Lotion: Those of our members who usually steer clear of toners found this rejuvenating option to be perfect for balancing skin without leaving it feeling tight or dry.

ProX By Olay Anti-aging 3D Youth Essence Serum: This serum has earned a reputation as a powerhouse due to it’s hard working formula, which tackles the first signs of ageing and minimises the appearance of any existing fine lines and wrinkles, for a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

The verdict

ProX by Olay Anti-Aging

“Love love love this [ProX By Olay Anti-aging 3D Youth Essence Serum]. Not generally a "beauty regime" kind of person...but I guess I am now. The serum used after the lotion is delicious. So soft. Minimal amount needed and I promise my skin looks amazing after just one month of admittedly not every night use. I'm a newly turned 50 and my face looks and feels so much younger.”

“I really enjoyed [ProX by Olay Anti-aging Rejuvenating Clear Lotion], my skin loves the ingredients of this and I found it worked really well paired with the serum and moisturiser, I would purchase this again. It wasn't sticky or greasy and just hydrated which is what I like and there is alot of product in here and a little goes a long way .”

“[ProX by Olay Anti-aging Wrinkle Smoothing Cream] is rich and super moisturising which is great. I can say it has softened the deep lines in between my brows. My skin texture and skin tone is improving... it's smooth and soft. This cream has a very light smell, not too greasy and I like the texture as well.”

ProX by Olay Brightening

“Really loved using [ProX by Olay Brightening Spot Essence Serum]. I received it as part of a trial with all 3 ProX products and really noticed a difference in my skin. I have combination skin and some pigmentation. The serum absorbed into my skin really well. Face felt hydrated. No oily residue. My spots really cleared up.”

“[ProX by Olay Brightening Repair Cream is an] unfragranced rich cream which left my skin feeling very moisturised with an overall brightening effect. Although quite heavy, it did not leave my skin feeling oily, I would use it again.”

“[ProX by Olay Brightening Hydrating Essence Water] was great to use, lovely texture and hydrating, resulting in smoother, softer and brighter skin. It absorbs quickly onto the skin and doesn’t leave any residue. Would definitely recommend.”
