Whitening from the cellular level: Olay CelLucent White Cream and White Essence

Paris B 24 Comments

Quite a few months ago, I attended the launch of the new Olay White Radiance range with CelLucent technology. There were 2 main products they were launching – the CelLucent White Cream and the CelLucent White Essence.

Like many women, I fight my freckles and pigmentation, in the hope to lighten them. With a promise that it would perform like that of a whitening injection (not that I’d ever experienced that), I was interested to see how the Olay White Radiance CelLucent line performed on my skin.

In a nutshell, I was disappointed. Find out why.

Happy Saturday ladies!

I’ve got a fun Saturday ahead of me, and I’m sure you have too so let’s not dawdle ok? 🙂 Here are a couple of new items you can keep an eye out for. One’s already out in stores and another is coming soon. Plus if you’d like to be a bit of a sleuth, I’ve got a picture of a mystery “coming soon” item too 😀

Already in Stores: Olay White Radiance Cellucent White Essence

You will have seen this around and on TVCs. Belinda Chee is the face of Olay White Radiance and the Olay White Radiance Cellucent White Essence is a new addition to the Olay White Radiance line together with the cream. But what intrigues me is this White Essence, with its “specially designed dropper” to allow you to target your problem areas. I’m very intrigued by that.

This is an intensive treatment to treat dark spots and uneven skin tone. I reckon with a name like “White Essence” its a bit of a dead giveaway.

Mom Reviews the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream

Thanks for coming by my open cafe day yesterday – boy! We sure can chat eh? 😀 I’ve had to close comments but if you all enjoyed that, I’ll open up another chat session the next time I’ve got some free time. Let me know yeah? 🙂

Now, on with the programme.

If you watch tv, you will notice the Olay Regenerist ad where they show you a cream that purportedly beat all other luxury and expensive creams in performance. I’m curious – which is the RM2,000 cream they compared it against? I want to see that one! Is it infused with diamonds? 😛

Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Cream

The Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting cream is touted as a luxury anti-aging cream without the luxury pricetag; and I saw a used jar on my Mom’s dressing table! It is nearly finished so I roped her in to do me a review on it 😀

Note: The following review of the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream is based on a brief interview I had with Mom so no, I have not personally tried it for results except for texture.

Appearance and Texture:

The red tub looks luxurious and the thick white cream feels rich on my skin. Its not oily though and absorbs quite quickly. There is also a strong fragrance. What Mom thinks of this cream is as below.

Olay Total Effects Extra Nourishing Body Wash

I’m a sucker for tv ads – for me, they are the best form of advertisements. I always fall for some new product or another! And the Olay Total Effects body wash is no different.

I’d used Olay Total Effects for my face but when they put the thought in my head about “anti-aging” for the body, it made me think of just how little care I take of the skin on my body. Well time to remedy that with a little trip to Guardian pharmacy! 😀 I picked up the Olay Total Effects body wash in Extra Moisturizing for roughly RM19.90 for 583ml. There are 3 versions – Moisturizing, Extra Nourishing and Ultra Nourishing. Mine is Extra Nourishing because I thought I needed it.

The body wash squeezes out like a mousse but when I spread it, it has a very smooth creamy feel. I don’t use a bath lily or puff (I don’t like it) so I just use my hands. For a body wash with body butter in it, I thought my skin might feel greasy after the shower or maybe be a little bit oily – body butter after all! But nope. It washes off clean as a whistle. My skin does not feel dry after that, but lets face it friends, it does not exactly feel super moisturized either. After about 2 weeks daily use, I find that my skin is a touch less scaly looking so I reckon it has helped but you still need to top up with body lotion to get really smooth skin.
