Question 1

Does this help with sagging jawline?

Accepted Answer

I am at that age where I had the sagging...I used a machine SIMILAR to DermaWand made by SPA but there are other brands that probably due just the same job.  They tighten your skin over time.  I use mine 3x a week and if I remembered, I would every day!

Question 2

Does this product contain niacin or niacinamide

Accepted Answer

Yes, niacinamide is the third ingredient listed on both the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting cream and serum.  As products list ingredients in order of the amount, greatest to least, by U. S. law, this seems significant.  But, be aware, this product is not made in the USA, the cream lists made in Thailand, distr. by Procter & Gamble, Cincinnati OH and the serum is just listed as distr. by P.&G.

Question 3

Does this contain peptides?

Accepted Answer

It has palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 as the 12th ingredient listed.  Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 is a pentapeptide, synethsized chain protein created by linking five amino acid peptides. This chain creates a response in the dermis of the skin that stimulates collagen and elastin fibroblasts, developing fibronectin (FN) and glycosaminoglycans (GAG), according to research. Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 is a small molecule that penetrates the skin easily and is structurally similar to the precursor of collagen type I. It is thought that pentapeptides can communicate with a cell and program it to do specific things, including repair work.  It's considered to be as effective against wrinkles as retinol, but less irritating (see Truth in Aging).

Question 4

Im 27, have oily/combo skin. Is this a good night moisturizer? Any suggestions on if i should try it or look for something else?

Accepted Answer

The absolute best thing you can do for your skin from now until forever is to use a simple broad spectrum sunscreen daily. Use it on your face, hands and chest. Neutragena makes some excellent non-greasy ones. (The generics also work well.) No amount of moisturizers, serums or beauty products will protect your skin so it will stay plump and hydrated & not have age spots when you get older. I'm 59 and have used sun screen daily for >30 yrs. Until a few yrs ago, people assumed I was in my late 30's & they'd say it was because of my skin. They'd be truly honestly surprised, not feigned surprise! Sun exposure and cigarette smoking (I've never been a smoker) age skin faster than anything. I'd say, save your money on skin care products, #1. protect it from sun daily. Additional things...cleanse at night with a gentle cleansing wipe...by Ponds, you local grocery store brand, or Neutragena. That's all you need for cleansing. Over-cleansing the skin is unnecessary. And take care not to tug on the gentle skin around your eyes, especially when applying make-up. (Somewhere between 55 and 59, gravity tugs at the skin - the age people guess for me has gone up to early 40's...sob ;) I finally have some very fine forehead lines, some neck wrinkling and those little "jowls". That's why I'm looking at regenerist. I'll give a few of the anti-aging products some trials for long enough to work before I consider very limited surgeries (neck lift, fillers) You're on the right track thinking about skin care now. Good luck!
