Olay Professional Pro-X Review

Olay Professional Pro-X is another anti aging range from the Olay company. It trades heavily on its development by professional dermatologists, and the fact that it uses the latest technology to create a range of products which will reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, diminish dark circles under the eyes and generally give you a more youthful appearance. Results are guaranteed to be noticed within 28 days of using the product, which is quicker than many other products from similar ranges.

How does Olay Professional Pro-X Work?

The smoothing cream in the Pro-X range is the one which makes the most claims about reducing wrinkles and fine lines. The main active ingredient in the cream is Vitamin B3, listed as niacinamide. The Vitamin B3 is used in the cells of the skin to help them repair and regenerate themselves, thus restoring any damage on the surface of the skin. The product also contains other ingredients that you would expect to find in a wrinkle cream such as elastin to improve how supple the skin is and carnosine which slows down the natural aging processes in the skin. The product is suitable for all skin types, and as it is fragrance free can be used by even the most sensitive skins.

Olay make a lot of claims about their products, and state they are clinically proven, but they do not provide links to any of the studies which back up the claims. There are no testimonials on the website, and no before and after pictures to give you an idea of what results can be expected. Looking on the wider internet for reviews, reports from users are distinctly mixed. Olay is however a proven brand in the world of beauty and has a reputation for putting out quality products. If there was more information given on the website, customers might be able to decide whether Pro-X is as good as some of the other products in their range.

Conclusion

One of the main problems with this product range, apart from the lack of evidence that it works, is that there are too many Olay anti aging products on the market. It is difficult to differentiate between them, and to know what is the best to use. Pro-X doesn’t seem to have anything to mark it out as particularly different from any of the other anti aging creams on the market, and as such you would probably be better off trying one of the more well known brands which offer a free trial, or at the very least a product which offers a money back guarantee should it not agree with your skin or demonstrate any noticeable effects.
