Some years ago, I had the power in my hands to protect and prevent my skin from further ageing and damage. Actually that power is still up until today because reality wise we cannot stop the clock from ticking. Unfortunately, although I had all the information and constant reminders from friends and even from the medical experts that one should really start to moisturise her skin as young as 25years old, I frittered everything away and took it for granted. Not once, not twice but countless times? Can you believe that!
I am currently in my thirties and guess what~ as early as now, I already could see some lines forming at the side and under my eyes. Well, what else should I expect from neglect. If only I have listened and started early, I could have further delayed the appearance of these lines.
I hope you won’t make the same mistake as I did by not starting early in taking care of your skin- so I’m giving you this Skin's Hydration and Maintainance Guide.
The Skin
The skin being the largest organ of the body, has an approximate area totalling to 20 square feet. It is known that the skin protects us from microbes and the elements. It also aids in regulating the body temperature as it permits us with the sensations of touch cold and heat. The thickness of our skin varies depending on part or location. Being the thinnest skin in our body, the skin under our eyes and around the eyelids is one of the areas that is prone to show signs of ageing such as wrinkles.
Why Should I Start Early In Using Maintenance For My Skin
As we all know, one thing that we cannot prevent is the ageing process of our skin. With time, eventually lines will become visible whether we like it or not since our skin becomes thinner and drier. By taking some preventive actions such as lifestyle change and application of creams which contains powerful anti-ageing actives then we can slow the effects that this type of aging has on our skin.
What Factors Should I Look For In An Anti-Ageing Facial Cream
It is known that hydration of the skin influences its elasticity. The more hydrated you keep your skin, the firmer and more elastic it will become. So it is a must that your cream must contain a powerful anti-ageing actives that would deeply penetrate into your skin's surface to visibly reduce the appearance of the wrinkles fast, namely:

THE REVIEW
I have a sensitive skin which makes my skin overly sensitive on products. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why I hesitated to use beauty maintenance because I'm worried that when I use a product, it might just cause me breakout(s) -

Honestly, when I received the "Miracle Cream" and was invited by Sample Room to join the #5nightschallenge - I had to think twice on whether I would do it or not but YOLO! I'm not getting any younger so I did it!
 |
| First Night, wearing the Olay Regenerist Overnight Ritual (unfiltered bare face) |
You would notice that my pores are so much bigger and noticable. Plus the lines at the side and under my eyes are visible (check the photo above).
The cream's promise is that it "visibly reduces pores, improves texture and radiance on Day1". I'm actually glad that I did accept the challenge because the cream does what it says it will do. For me visible firmness and softness started immediately.

| 2nd day upon waking up (of my unfiltered bare face) |
Seriously, seems that it has transported my skin a few years back. Ang soft nya talaga. You know that kind of softness like the ones of a 10 year old? Ganun Ka-soft! This is no bola because I always compliment the facial skin of my daughter and tell her " Sana my skin is like that too". And that is how my skin felt the morning after my first night of using it.
 |
| 5th Night (of my unfiltered bare face) |
With constant use for 5 consecutive nights, my lines (around the side and under my eyes) become finer, pores got smaller and my face got brighter. Check out the photo above. What do think? I also noticed that my skin felt cleaner since it doesn't make my face very oily. Plus I am very happy that it didn't cause my skin any breakout(s)! My face and even my neck became brighter, smoother and firmer.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT
- The creme is is not greasy and feels very light on skin
- I liked the feel of it after I applied to my face
- Quick absorption
- I absolutely love the mild smell.
- Noticeably smaller pores within a few days
- My skin is softer and more radiant than it has been in years
WHAT I DON'T LIKE
-
Olay Regenerist Overnight Ritual kicks butt! So this is the reason why I didn't a have anything to write on the"what I don't like" section of my review.

As I have shared earlier, my skin is very sensitive so I really have a hard time dealing with creams but this cream didn't fail me. It got absorbed into my skin very quickly leaving my skin refreshed and very soft. It did make my skin brighter looking and the dark circles under my eyes is lightening -(check out the before and after photo above).
My skin "glows"!
Did Olay Regenerist Overnight Ritual made me younger overnight? NO. But it did gave me an instant softness, improvement on my visible pores and brighter glow thus, it made me "feel so much younger" with just for overnight use. These instant results actually made me quite surprised (Ang galing kasi. Parang Magic!)
With continues use, the cream made the lines around and under my eyes to have almost completely disappear. (I can still see the lines now but it got lessened already). With all these evidence and with consistent use, I am sure that it will definitely delay the visible signs of ageing which will eventually bring me back to the time when I have that youthful glow. Say, 20 years younger? Could be, but of course CONSISTENCY is the key. As with any beauty product, one has to use it consistently and continuously in order to work. For the longest time, I have the hardest time in finding anything that will work for me so I am congratulating myself for believing in my YOLO moment.
