Don’t let words like amino-peptide complex or intracellular fortifier scare you. These words are your friends, people.

Over the last several weeks, we’ve become close pals with amino-peptide complex and intracellular fortifier as they’re key ingredients in Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream, our new favorite. Along with marine protein, these ingredients manage to hydrate and regenerate skin’s surface cells giving the appearance of younger, firmer skin.

The creamy texture and faint green apple scent of Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream have us counting the hours until we can apply again. (Olay recommends morning and night, lightly massaging a small amount in an upward circular motion.)

Make friends with amino-peptide complex and intracellular fortifier; you won’t regret it.

Dealing with our hormones and the havoc they wreak on our skin once a month is enough to make a girl go nuts.

Recently, we found that Olay Total Effects Anti-Aging Anti-Blemish Cleanser is gentle yet strong enough to make our skin happy. Armed with salicylic acid, this non-comedogenic cleanser won’t clog pores and rinses clean for blemish-free skin.

If only it could cure our craving for chocolate, we’d be all set.

As much as we like to pretend that we haven’t been plagued with blemishes since the night before our junior prom, the reality of the matter is NO ONE IS IMMUNE TO THE OCCASIONAL BREAKOUT. (At least, that’s what we like to tell ourselves when stress, hormones, a poor diet and not enough sleep is written across our face like graffiti, only not as pretty.)

Our dermatologist was kind enough to provide us with a sample of this miracle product and boy, are we impressed. Packed with an anti-aging vitamin complex and salicylic acid, this moisturizer is the perfect solution for all our skin problems.

And, (are you sitting down?) it’s affordable! (Which, after our eye cream splurge, is mui importante!)
