A little embarrassed to review this, but…,
OK, I’d admit it. I’m a little embarrassed to review, let alone admit using, this product. I’m a fifty-something year-old man and, therefore, not exactly the target group this product was intended to serve.
Anyway, for any of the men out there approaching geezerdom and wondering about this product, here’s my review.
I’ve never used any type of cream or cleansing product on my face before. Ever. My skin is probably a bit better than average for someone my age, but I was curious what, if anything, this product would do for me.
I’ve been using it for about a month now and am surprised to say it really has made a noticeable improvement in the appearance and overall health of my skin, which is now a little lighter and brighter in color and softer in texture. I use it once a day, usually at night.
Olay should provide more instructions. The directions basically say wash your face and pat dry. No information on how often or how much to scrub your face when using it. The sensation I get is what I would expect to feel sandpapering my face with a fine, maybe 600 grit, sandpaper with a little cream mixed in. That description is not meant to be derogatory, because I guess that’s what a good exfoliating product should feel like. It’s not unpleasant, but on the other hand is not exactly a walk in the park.
I may be using too much…I don’t know. Is about a half a teaspoon too much? It’s difficult to wash off completely and stings if any accidentally gets in your eyes. I’m also wondering if perhaps using it every other day rather than every day might be a better idea.
I’m going to keep using this cream, and feel confident recommending it to men. Can’t speak for the ladies, although based on the reviews here they seem to like it, too. It’s very effective and does what it’s supposed to do, which is get rid of the very top layer of dead skin cells.
7/19/11 EDIT…still using it. After over four months the tube is now almost empty. I’ve come to the conclusion that after the first month or so, daily use is not really necessary. At least for me.
Most, if not all, of the product’s benefits were achieved after about a month’s use. Since then it’s been pretty much status quo. Which is fine with me.
What amazes me about this product is how effectively it cleans and removes dead skin cells without drying out or irritating my face. It’s for that reason alone that I’ll keep using it for at least a while longer.

|Best exfoliating cleanser,
I am 50+ and this is by far the best exfoliating cleanser I have ever used, and I have used many
over the years. This does the job and does not ever leave my skin irritated or sensitive, and I have
sensitive skin. I highly recommend this product. I use it in conjunction with the Pro X moisturizer
and the Olay Regenerist Serum. Excellent!!!

|Olay Pro-X Exfoliating Renewal Cleanser,
This is a new product to the Olay Pro-X line. Based on my experience I believe it will be quite popular. Product does not have a scent and is not gritty. Since you only use a small amount each time, product should last for a reasonable period. Skin feels/looks good after using. I am in my 50’s with dryish skin, but I do not find this product drying.I will purchase it again.
