The most important part of my skincare routine before makeup? My moisturizer. I have combination skin & definitely need to target areas. It can be really difficult to find something that hydrates my dry areas & isn’t too heavy on the rest of my face. If either is off-balance…my makeup just won’t sit right! Today I’m sharing my new favorite drugstore option- & the science POWERHOUSE behind the results!

I always advise you to invest in products that make the difference. Skincare is definitely a major one! But investing doesn’t have to mean blowing your budget. Invest in an excellent moisturizer that does more for your skin than just one thing. Should it moisturize? Yes! But they can do so much more!

An independent test by the Good Housekeeping Institute showed that Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream outperforms 10 top prestige creams. That’s including one with a $440 price tag! It was found to pretty much kill it on all fronts. The texture is relatively lightweight but it hydrates skin beautifully. In fact, it increased moisture by 50% on average over a 24-hour period. In fact, at the 3 hour mark during testing, it moisturized 400% better than a cream nearly 18 times its price! & beat all other products tested along the way. They even saw that this product improved skin’s texture by 10% in only a month.

Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream Results:

• Visible wrinkle results start at day 1
• 1 day: reduces the appearance of lines, boosts hydration and brightness
• 2 weeks: skin is noticeably firmer and skin elasticity is improved
• 4 weeks: reduces the look of up to 10 years of wrinkles

Some quick things I want to note: these ingredients really agree with my skin. The formula manages to moisturize + hydrate without being too heavy even in this summer heat. It is the perfect pre-makeup base because it actually improves the texture of my skin. I don’t want you to see anti-aging & panic because this has had so many more benefits for me! & the best part is that you don’t need to pay an extravagant price!

What do you look for in a fabulous moisturizer? Have you tried the  Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream? Are you more likely to check it out after seeing the impressive testing?
