The SkinDeep program was hosted by OLAY Ambassador Daphne Oseña, who eased the audience into a no-nonsense talk on laser treatments, anti-aging and what the Regenerist line offers. Leading dermatologists Dr. Ma. Pia Lagdameo-Leuenbeger and Clarissa Villarama-Cellona, MD, FPDS helped point out differences (aging process) on skin of women in their 20s, 30s and 40s, and answered questions on anti-aging treatment options like the laser treatment.

P&G Beauty Skin Care Scientist David Khoo, M.Sc. took the stage to talk about the science behind the OLAY Regenerist line, highlighting the two (2) amino peptides present in the skincare line, KTTKS and Carnosine. He managed to educate the audience on an otherwise complex science in under 10 minutes. This beats the video tele-conference I attended with select media last month, wherein David introduced and patiently explained the science behind Regenerist and not to mention patiently answering all our questions.

Other OLAY Ambassadors Miriam Quiambao and Isabelle Diaz-Daza (not in photo) also made an appearance to talk about the brand that they all love and re-cap what had happened during the OLAY Regenerist Pre-Sale Event.

Of course, the night won’t be complete without the unveiling of the latest OLAY Ambassador, specific to the Regenerist line, Tweetie de Leon-Gonzales. 41-year old Tweetie is one of the select few who had first tried the Regenerist line here in Manila and have seen its benefits, hence, her taking on the role as an OLAY Ambassador.

After over a month (close to 2 actually!) of blogging about the arrival of OLAY Regenerist here in Manila, I can finally cap things off with the launch event re-cap. While others are just starting to enjoy Regenerist (either the complete set that came with the invite or the serum + cleanser they got as an event freebie), you can actually read the reviews I’ve done on the Regenerist line. The sooner you learn more about the skincare line, the sooner you can try them out yourself, yes? Here are the quick links to the reviews:

OLAY Regenerist Regenerating Serum
Day Cream: Olay Regenerist Regenerating Cream (Perfecting Cream)
Eastern Experiments: OLAY Regenerist Eye-Lifting Serum

I reckon these three (3) products are key to the Regenerist line, esp the Regenerating Serum and Eye-Lifting Serum.

Mornings usually mean a mad rush to prepare for the day’s itinerary. May it be us getting ready to go the office or preparing things needed before the rest of the members of the household wake up. We, women, often put ourselves last.

Another thing I’ve also noticed is that, oftentimes, we associate skincare with just the practice of beauty rituals at night, right before we sleep. We often overlook its need during the day. Most of the time, we’re okay with just showering, applying lotions and/or sunscreen, and avoiding the sun.

Having been introduced to the OLAY Regenerist skincare system, I’ve learned that we can practice good skin care round the clock. They’ve given us the option to be able to reap the benefits of a full anti-aging product line that’s formulated to be gentle and light AND potent enough to be used during the day.

I’ve always thought that such rituals are only effective when applied during the night but now I’ve discovered that there are products that I can use even during the day, under all the makeup I usually wear when I step out of the house.

The OLAY Regenerist Daily Treatment suggests the use of their Cream Cleanser for cleansing (obviously), then the application of the Eye-Lifting Serum and the Regenerating Serum; these two are for correcting (minimising pores, fine lines, and wrinkles), hydrating, and increasing firmness of the skin; under the Regenerating Cream (Perfecting Cream), which has SPF 15 to protect your skin from UVA/UVB and it moisturises and works with the correction process.

After applying all the products, it doesn’t feel heavy or greasy and is still adept to makeup. You can have the confidence of having your skin cleansed and protected while the formulation helps maintain and correct or even reverse the skin’s aging process.

You can read more on the following OLAY Regenerist products:

Regenerating Serum
Regenerating Cream (Perfecting Cream) – Day Cream

I’m working on the review of the eye-lifting serum, so stay tuned.

Meanwhile, do any of you have a beauty routine during day time? How do you protect your skin from the sun, dirt and pollution? Do you know of any anti-aging product line that’s used during the day?

It’s included in the roster of OLAY Regenerist products which will be launched mid-November 2008 here in Manila.

Of course, this is one of the creams in the OLAY Regenerist line that’s perfect for daytime use. Along with the others and exclusive to Regenerist, it contains OLAY’s exclusive amino-peptide complex together with the UVA/UVB protection with SPF 15. It’s formulated to reduce the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles, enhance firmness and minimise the appearance of pores.

By principle, I have been practicing religiously to have SPF on my skin, particularly on the face. It’s quite important to protect your skin because as I’ve recently learned that even us dark skinned folk are not immune to skin cancer. On top of that, exposure to the sun can trigger pre-mature aging on the skin, i.e. development of sun spots or age spots and higher possibility of wrinkling, which we really don’t want to happen now, do we?

As it is a cream, the texture’s richer than the serum but it still has a non-greasy feel it’s almost light enough to go unnoticed. I compared it with the Elizabeth Arden Intervene Pause & Effect Moisture Cream that I’ve been using, which also has SPF 15, btw. Again, I love how it’s quickly absorbed and makes your skin feel moisturised without the sticky feeling.

I reckon it can work with powder foundations. As for liquid foundations, er, it’s a different matter. Quite a disappointment, really. I use Elizabeth Arden Intervene Makeup, a liquid foundation that I absolutely love. I had tried it yesterday and things turned into a bit of a disaster. I’m not entirely placing the blame on the day cream but seeing that my foundation works fabulously with the Pause & Effect Moisturiser, I can’t help but come up with that conclusion. Perhaps I can only recant my statement once I get to try it with a different moisturiser. I’ll definitely post an update once I get around to doing it.

Oh, yea. I did wash the cream off and applied the Pause & Effect Moisture Cream instead. I needed to put on my makeup. But on other days (without makeup) I use the OLAY Regenerist day cream.

Once again, if you can’t wait till November to try it out, I suggest that you check out the OLAY Regenerist One Day Pre-Sale on Saturday, 18 October 2008. better yet, sign up and be on the Priority list.

Note: The packaging is different from the one they’ll be releasing here in the Philippine market. This one with all the red is for the China market. To see how ours will look like, visit Style Manila.

As the excitement builds up, with the arrival of OLAY Regenerist in the country, I decided that it’s time to let you guys in on my own experience with testing some of the products included in the roster. Slated to be launched mid-November, OLAY plans to start of with five (5) products from the Regenerist line, which will be exclusive to Watson’s Stores until January 2009.

I reckon each deserves their own 15-minute fame, so tonight I’m putting the spotlight on the “star” of the lot, the OLAY Regenerist Regenerating Serum (Micro-Sculpting Serum). I reckon this one plays a huge role in optimising and maximising the efficacy of the Regenerist line. I’ll tell you why later on. Moreover, it’s packed with Olay’s exclusive amino-peptide complex, which is proven to harness the skin’s natural cellular repair abilities to regenerate and rejuvenate, plus potent anti-oxidants and hydrators to protect and deeply nourish, respectively. Basically, the serum has taken on the functions of a laser without the, er, laser. (Get it?)

The serum contains two (2) kinds of Amino-peptides which work deeply in the skin surface level and enhance its natural renewal process, meanwhile helps make your skin firmer and more elastic, and visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The serum is part of the suggested Daily Treatment. It’s formulated gently enough to be used frequently. I normally apply it after showering in the morning even when I’m staying in (would apply the day cream if I’ll be stepping out of the house) and again at night, right before I apply the night cream and eye-lifting serum. This is what I mean by frequently.

Application is easy and has brilliant absorption. The serum has non-greasy texture and feels like silk on the skin. It’s so light that you’ll even forget that you have it on (even with the other two creams on).

OLAY Regenerist is perfect for women in their 30s through to 50s. It is, after all, OLAY’s premier anti-aging line. Perhaps women in the their late 20s who wish to reduce the obvious signs of aging can consider using the Regenerist line, too.

If you can’t wait till November to try it out, I suggest that you check out the OLAY Regenerist One Day Pre-Sale on Saturday, 18 October 2008. better yet, sign up and be on the Priority list.

Note: The packaging is different from the one they’ll be releasing here in the Philippine market. This one with all the red is for the China market. To see how ours will look like, visit Style Manila.
