Retinol has a reputation for being tough on skin. Think redness, flaking, itching and that tight, irritated feeling that makes a lot of people give up on it after a week. So when an 87-year-old shopper with sensitive skin says the Olay Regenerist Retinol Cream made their skin “feel wonderful” and they’re reordering it, it’s worth adding to your cart (and checking out immediately). And that’s easy to do today now that it’s 39 percent off on Amazon, which brings the price down to $22.
Deal of the day
The Olay Regenerist Retinol Cream, which has more than 19,000 five-star customer ratings across Amazon, Target and Walmart, is a nightly moisturizer that pairs retinol and niacinamide to offer a hydrating formula meant to soothe the irritation that typically come with retinoids, and plump skin. That gentler approach is a big part of its appeal for people who’ve found other retinol products too harsh. It also fits easily into most routines: Apply it after cleansing at night, and follow up with sunscreen during the day, since retinol can make skin more sensitive to the sun.
Shoppers across a wide range of ages say they see results with consistent use of this cream. A 71-year-old reviewer says the product has diminished their smile lines and minimized their jowls (saggy jawline). “For a 71-year-old, I’ve been told that I only look 60,” they wrote. A 43-year-old shopper says it has reduced both his dark spots and fine lines, and has him looking younger.”
Those reviews, along with many more, suggest the formula works for several skin types and stages of life. It’s a great moisturizer to try if you’ve been curious about retinol but wary of irritation, and at 39 percent off, it’s also a smart buy.
