It leaves skin “soft and fresh.”
My grandma and great-grandma are the definition of good genes; no, I’m not talking about the booty-lifting Levi’s Kendall Jenner wears, but the ones that give them vibrant complexions at the beautiful ages of 63 and 90. Aside from my great-grandma’s signature red lip and grandma’s peachy blush, I knew there had to be more to their beauty routines. Come to find out, they rely on the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Face Cream—and I’m officially adding it to my beauty cabinet, too.
Packed with rich ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin B3, and hyaluronic acid, the $22 fragrance-free moisturizer aids in skin turnover, revealing supple, hydrated skin. Over time, the skin’s moisture barrier will increasingly grow stronger, firming the face, smoothing texture, and minimizing the look of fine lines.

According to my 90-year-old great-grandma, the cream leaves her face and neck “so soft and fresh,” never feeling sticky or greasy. “I apply the face cream every night and every morning,” she said. “I really love it and sometimes even apply a little bit of the cream on my hands.” She carries the face lotion in her walker’s basket everywhere she goes, too, because depending on where she is, she decides she wants to put on a little extra—and if that’s not convincing, I don’t know what is.
My 63-year-old grandma has also noticed that one of the wrinkles between her eyebrows has begun quickly fading away, claiming that her smile lines “aren’t as prominent anymore.” Plus, she said it’s “perfect” for her dry skin, leaving her face moisturized “all day.” She’s even careful to not waste any because she “doesn’t want to run out”—but don’t worry Gma, I’ll restock your stash (wink, wink).
The Olay cream sets the perfect foundation for makeup, too, never piling or sloshing your makeup around; both grandmas say face products like blush “go on smoothly.” But the cream provides a healthy glow that looks good on its own, with or without additional beauty products.
The two beauty queens also rely on the Olay Super Serum and Collagen Peptide Eye Cream to complete their skincare routine, calling it unfussy. “It’s three easy steps: the serum, eye cream, and face cream,” said my grandma. “I love that it is so practical,” she concluded.
