Features
- When applied each night, the non-greasy, fast-absorbing formula with glycolic acid works over a normal sleep cycle to give you uninterrupted exfoliation while antioxidants and moisturizers continuously provide soothing hydration to tighten skin's surface.
- Light glycolic peel resurfaces skin nightly for tighter, smoother skin.
- Professional medium or deep chemical peels work quickly to resurface skin, but these fast-acting treatments can be harsh, causing severe flaking or prolonged redness. While not the same results, Olay Regenerist Night Resurfacing Elixir works each night to help gently resurface skin while you sleep for tighter, smoother skin when you wake- without the risk of harsh side effects associated with a professional chemical peel.**Results not equal to professional medium or deep chemical peels.

Nightly Skin Care While You SleepL. M. Keefer
I bought this as my skin seemed dry, washed out, rough and I hadn't had a facial in years. I'd read a dermatologist say that you don't have to pay boutique prices for boutique expensive skin care because the big companies like Olay spend a lot on research and development--they have big budgets, sell a lot, and their products have to be good.I put this on at night and within a few days my skin was smooth, brighter, not rough and tighter. I hadn't anticipated that last feature. I feel like I'm getting a mini-facial or peel while I sleep. I was thrilled with the results, and am going to buy some more Olay products. I feel like I'm taking good care of my skin without spending a lot of $$$$.
It works. Subtly, but noticeably.Shulamit Widawsky
Call me a bit nuts, but I really wanted to be able to see if this product worked. So, I purchased the "Anti-Aging Moisturize Night Resurfacing Elixir," and for the first six nights, applied it only to the right side of my face. To keep the experiment fair, on the left, I continued using just my regular night time product, "Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream." Please note, I am 47, have always used Olay products (though until 40, that meant the old fall back, "Oil of Olay" with or without sun screen). My skin is pretty good for my age, but I would like it to be even better. Hence, the interest in the "resurfacing elixir."After two days of use, the right side of my face looked the same, maybe the skin was a bit smoother to the touch. After four days, a *very* close inspection revealed smoother pores on the treated side. By days five and six, I actually could see a subtle improvement in my crow's feet around my eyes, and some lines from the corner of my mouth. After a full six nights of treatment, I could see that the slightly hanging jowl on my right jaw was not hanging as much as the one on the left side, and the scar on my throat (from surgery years ago) was tightened up on the right, more than the left.Wish I had a good "before" picture. Was I lopsided before I started? Did the scar look much better on the right than the left before? Did the jowl always hang more on the left? Well, the answer to that will have to wait a few days, for the reverse treatment this week. Starting last night I put the Resurfacing Elixer on the left, and the Micro-Sculpting Cream on the right. Next week I will post what happens. I'm particularly interested to see if the left jowl raises up to be more even with the right, and if my throat scar looks better.Read more ›
I can't live without this! Great for 40+ womenpilar
This elixir has a light gel-like consistency and dispenses easily from the pump dispenser. Although it might look and feel a little bit more classy and high end in a glass bottle, I have no complaints with the packaging. I've broken a few glass bottles in my time, so it's probably better this way anyhow.This product contains glycolic acid. Think of it as a mini chemical peel but not so drastic. Unless you're allergic to it, you shouldn't come home with a red face. At the same time the elixir's antioxidants and moisturizers provide soothing hydration to tighten skin's surface. It is oil-free and fragrance-free, although it has a very slight scent.Olay says that you should see a marked improvement in your skin in as little as seven days if used on a nightly basis. It is not recommended for daytime usage as glycolic acid can make the skin more sun sensitive. In fact, it is recommended that you use a moisturizer with at least SPF 15 during the day if you use this product at night.I need about two pumps from the bottle as I use the elixir not only on my face, but also on my neck and chest. It doesn't sting or irritate my skin. I'm able to apply around my eyes with no problem. Although it is a gel, it is not sticky at all, and leaves my skin feeling smooth and noticeably firmer immediately upon application. The elixir absorbs quickly, but allow about 5 minutes if you put a moisturizer on afterwards.Olay says that you can use this product in lieu of a regular nighttime moisturizer. Perhaps in my younger days I might have, but I live in a dry environment, so I usually follow up with their Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream. That being said, sometimes my skin does get a bit oily so I do sometimes skip the heavier cream and just use the Elixir.Read more ›
This elixir is great best i have usedjulee
I recieved this item a few weeks ago, and applied it to my face at night and i could feel a big difference in my skin first time use, the next morning i woke up and the wrinkles on my forehead were gone! this elixir doesnt have a strong fragrance, it didnt break out my skin, and didnt give me a headache it has excellent ingredients like grape seed and AHA's the best i have used in a long time, ladies don't waste your money on expensive skin care items, i have had that experience before and did not work for my skin as much as this item has, OLAY keep up the good work!
Just like the expensive stuff I bought at the dermatologistsCarol
I read about this product in Good Housekeeping a few days after I realized that I never went back to an application of glycolic acid on my skin like the dermatologist had recommended to me. I bought the very expensive product from his office until he retired and was too lazy to get around to finding another derm doctor to replenish my supply and used very expensive $70 night cream from Arbonne that didn't help. I used Mary Kay night cream that I really like, but I kept on thinking about the glycolic gel that really worked but I thought I could only get from a doctor. Then came the Good Housekeeping article, and I drove to my local store and bought it off the shelf! Now I see it is even cheaper on Amazon! It is just like the doctors stuff! It works. I love the way my face feels.I will say that the doctor recommends that you rinse it off after 10-20 minutes for the first two weeks to make sure there is no irritation. This is not something Olay recommends, but I would suggest it. The one star reviews probably didn't do this. Some skin is too sensitive for it, and a lower glycolic acid percentage might be warranted.What is the percentage of glycolic acid in this? Does anyone know? I can't find it anywhere on their site.
