A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog post about a new addition to my beauty maintenance routine. Shortly thereafter, I received inquiries by several companies who wanted me to try their products and write about them. This was a little flattering and a little nerve-wracking. Flattering because, well, I like that they care what I think. Nerve-wracking because I didn’t really care for a few of the products I tried and I felt a little awkward saying “sorry”. I just don’t want to waste a blog post on a product that I’m just “meh” about.
Since I work in the marketing business, I’m pleased that I and the readers of this blog are such a desirable target. We know what we like and we’re not really susceptible to outrageous or questionable claims.
Fortunately, one of the products that doesn’t fall into the so-so category is " target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Olay Regenerist MicroSculpting Cream. Funny that this one would come my way because I’ve been using it for quite awhile. I fell in love with this product a few years ago, after wasting maybe thousands of dollars on high-end skincare creams that were just doing an okay job. I discovered " target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Olay Regenerist MicroSculpting Cream while watching a newsmagazine show on TV that compared expensive skincare creams to drugstore brands.
I felt a little foolish because the moisturizer I was using at the time cost twice as much as the " target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Olay product but, according to this show, the two were comparable in results. The next day, I became an Olay chick and I’ve been one ever since. And I’m happy with it. My skin looks good. I don’t know if it’s solely because of Olay, but I can’t help but think it must play a role. I’m in that “woman of a certain age” category, but the condition of my skin doesn’t shout my age…does it? (Say “no”.)
So I was delighted to be given the opportunity to join with (of which I am a member) and P&G, the makers of Olay products, in this new affiliate marketing program. Here’s how it works: I earn a commission on any sales from readers who purchase the product through this " target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link. That’s kinda cool, right? Clearly, I’d love anyone who is interested to do exactly that. But here’s something else you can do…something that might feel a little less “sales-y”: check out the " target="_blank" rel="nofollow">site, see what other P&G products are included in this same program, and leave a comment on this site as to which is your favorite.
A few more details:
- 10% off all items now through August 31st, 2012
- Free shipping over $25
- Lots of great Olympic-themed bundles and deals right now (P&G is a big Olympic sponsor.)
- If you buy something, please do so through this " target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link or the others on this page. That way, I get credit for it.
This is a test program so P&G is curious to know your thoughts. So am I.
My mom used Olay products back in the day naturally I didn’t appreciate them back then. I have extremely sensitive skin and have burned my face using a well known product created and advertised for sensitive skin. Unfortunately I ended up in the emergency room with my skin peeling off my face. Fortunately I knew to saturate it with plain olive oil. I would have suffered more than I did if I had not done that. I started the search again looking for a product that my skin would not react to but offered me the nutritions I needed. I decided to try what my mom loved – Olay products. I have been extremely happy for the last 2yrs. I use the night moisturizer and the daytime moisturizer with SPF15 – great products. I will have to try the one you tested. I have no doubt it will work great. Thanks for the information!
Actually, I’m somewhat of an Oil of Olay fan. I always loved their commercials but when it came time to purchase I would go for the more expensive and nicer looking products. Then a few months ago I actually bought a small trial size of Rejuveness (sp)anti-wrinklr cream and loved it! It goes on lighter than my expensive products and smells and feels better. Who knew!

I have learned later in life that the expensive dept store/designer products are not necessarily the best nor am I convinced that they do a better job. I have had an interest in the Olay moisturizer for some time but had not gotten around to buying, but will now after your endorsement. I use a moisturizer by Neutrogena that I like and using and near finish with an Avon “Anew Genics” treatment night cream recommended by Vogue magazine that I like. My point is, I now use drugstore purchased beauty creams; pay less and love just as much or more. I am now on the train, thanks
