Oil of Olay jumps the shark

I have been a dedicated Oil of Olay user and have defended using a drug store skin cream by offering my own skin as a testimonial, but enough is enough. I went to the drugstore to get some more Regenerist night cream and there were so many different line extensions and brand names under Olay that the confusion turned to revulsion of the product. I tried to write them on their website but because I didn’t have the UPC code in front of me to enter, the comment section wouldn’t submit my comments. So I fall back on my little blog here to vent.

Oil of Olay has jumped the shark.

1) Currently, Olay’s most popular anti aging products are Olay Pro-X (their high end brand), Olay Regenerist (their mid range brand), and Olay Definity (their low end brand). I have been using Regenerist, which now has at least a dozen line extensions.

2) There is no way of looking at the brands and figuring out what is what. On the shelf at Walgreens sits not only Regenerist and Definity but a zillion versions of each.

3) Skin care should not have to be so difficult.

T uses Barbor products, but they have too much perfume for my sensitive skin. So, I sent away for a free offer from Dermitage, a company out of San Francisco that rated highly in an online survey. Will let you know how it goes.
