  1. Thank you! I use Olay Regenerist and also Nutrogena Rapid Wrinkle repair and I really like them… I have also used Olay Complete spf 15 for about 30 years or so? It was so gentle that I could literally use it all around my eyes.. I’ve always said if I could only have one skin care product it would be Olay Complete spf 15 for sensitive skin…. BUT they’ve recently changed the formula and it is now drying, imo.. 🙁 I would not want to use it around my eye… thankfully I still have enough left of the old formula for my eyes, while I look for something new… do you have any recommendations of a good spf that we could also use around our eyes? Thank you so much!! Just found your channel.. subscribed!!

  2. I tried Olay products years ago, but it had that weird, off putting, juicy fruitish?? smell & I just couldn’t do it – I would literally gag opening the jar. I think it’s time I put my big girl pants on, get over it, and give the stuff another try😂😂

  3. Thank you for the information! Recently started using Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair cream – and I’m completely hooked: the texture, the feeling on the skin, no fragrance – out of this world. One jar lasts me for almost 6 months – just enough for colder-dryer season.

  4. First of all the word “anti-aging” needs to go away. We’re all gonna age no matter what we do. We just need to know what to use to help us along the aging process.
