Olay's Night Recovery Cream, which promises "the look of a mini-lift each morning," is part of the company's Regenerist line of products. Recommended for use by people with normal, dry or combination skin, Regenerist Night Recovery Cream is available in drugstores. Like other Olay products, the night cream is relatively inexpensive, retailing for around $18 to $20.
Regenerist Line
Olay designed the Regenerist line of products as a way for women to "regenerate" their aging skin without resorting to expensive or drastic surgical treatments. The products are intended to correct the appearance of signs of aging, such as fine line and wrinkles, redness, discoloration and loss of firmness and radiance. Regenerist products also strengthen the skin's moisture barrier, making it better able to retain moisture. All of the products in the Regenerist line contain an amino-peptide and B-3 complex, as well as ingredients like vitamin E, pro-vitamin B-5, green tea extract, allantoin and glycerin.
Night Recovery Cream
Regenerist Night Recovery Cream has a time-released effect, intended to firm the skin all night long. It provides continuous hydration to replenish your skin's moisture while you sleep. The product is packaged in a 1.7 ounce jar that is easy to open. The cream is light lavender in color, with a whipped mousse-like formula and a soft floral scent. Regenerist Night Recovery cream soaks into the skin quickly and doesn't feel greasy, according to the website Aging Arsenal.
Amino-Peptides
According to Olay's website, one of the key ingredients of the product is an amino-peptide and B-3 complex, which has an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin, reducing redness and skin discoloration. By promoting your skin's natural production of collagen and elastin, amino-peptides plump the skin and increase its elasticity, which creates a more youthful appearance.
Other Ingredients
Besides amino-peptides, the key ingredients in Regenerist Night Recovery Cream include allantoin, which soothes skin and reduces inflammation; green tea leaf extract, which improves the appearance of lines and wrinkles; dimethicone, a silky-textured silicone; glycerin and propylene glycol, humidfying agents that absorbs moisture from the air; niacinamide and vitamin B-3, which prevent moisture loss and also improve the look of wrinkles, increase skin elasticity and reduce redness; panthenol, a deep-penetrating moisturizer; petrolatum, which allows the outer layer of skin to recover from damage; and vitamin E, an antioxidant and moisturizer believed to help skin recover from environmental pollution.
Application
Apply this product each evening before bedtime. After cleansing, smooth the product gently but thoroughly into your neck and face. Regenerist Night Recovery Cream is gentle enough to use every night. Because the cream is intended to hold moisture in the skin, it may exacerbate eye puffiness, so it is a good idea to use another moisturizing product around the eye area, warns the website MegsMakeup.com.
