Does Olay Really Work? This post on the Results of the Olay 28 Day Challenge was sponsored by Olay but all opinions and experiences are my own.
Since I was a teenager, my skincare routine has revolved around battling acne. When you’re an adult still battling sensitive skin and embarrassing breakouts, it’s hard to think of little else when it comes to your skincare routine.
I’ve spent tons of money visiting countless dermatologists over the years, trying to find a way to make my skin clearer. I’ve used the prescribed antibiotics, creams, gels, and serums in an effort to have radiant skin. But while I was spending all of that time trying to avoid breakouts, I totally neglected my skin as a whole.
Last month, I turned 35 and after spending over 20 years battling acne, I recently realized I’ve spent all of my time worrying about breakouts and have done nothing to help the skin on my face from aging. In fact, everything I’ve tried as part of my anti-adult acne skincare routine up until this point has only dried out my skin and made the ever-growing number of fine lines more apparent.
This realization was a wakeup call for me. I don’t want to look back in 10 years and regret not slowing the signs of aging and taking better care of my skin by making simple, positive skincare habits. I want to slow the clock and look more youthful, so I joined the Olay 28 Day Challenge to refresh and bring back the moisture in my skin while minimizing all of those little lines on my face that aren’t just there after sleeping.
For the last 28 days I ditched the skincare routine I’ve been using, complete with high powered acne gel and a thin, non-comedogenic moisturizer (that never really moisturized my skin) in favor of Olay Total Effects Moisturizer with SPF 15 in the morning and Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel in the morning and at night. Both of these products have been clinically proven to make skin look younger in 28 days. Using this new regimen has been super easy too. By just swapping out my old moisturizer and eye cream for Olay, I created noticeable changes to my skin.
I have to admit that I was apprehensive taking the challenge with my acne-prone skin but was also curious about the difference it could make. Making a change isn’t always comfortable, but it can be a game changer!
By day 8 of this new skincare routine, I was genuinely stunned by the results. My once tired and dry skin looked fresher and more youthful than I’d ever seen it just by using Olay Total Effects Moisturizer with SPF 15 and Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel.
Now that I’ve reached the end of the Olay 28 Day Challenge, big changes have taken place. Surprisingly I haven’t had any breakouts, despite not using any acne products. My skin is glowing, and I even got carded buying wine! Talk about a game changer in my skin, not only in how I see it but how others do as well!
I love that after just 28 days, my skin looks more clear and radiant! The previous imperfections that I see in my before photo like uneven skin tone and dullness are no longer visible. And now that my dark under eye circles are fading, I look less exhausted and more youthful too.
