Advantages: Works a little

Disadvantages: Doesn't work a lot, leaves a powdery residue

As anyone who reads my reviews knows I am a complete sucker for anything in the wrinkle department which claims to be new, improved, faster working, deeper working etc. etc.

Having spent so much money on No. 7 anti-wrinkle creams, freeze 24/7, eyesential to name but a few I decided against splashing out over £25.00 on a small tube of Olay Regenerist's new 30 second wrinkle filler which claims amongst other things to reduce the appearance of deep lines in the few seconds it takes to apply.

When I saw the free trial for this little pen on offer via the Olay website I couldn't get my details in quickly enough. It didn't matter if there was only a few days worth of use in it all I needed was one or two goes to check whether it worked or not without having to spend all that money. Which was then wasted if it was as unsuitable as previous smoothing lotions and potions had been. After all you don't need to wait 30 days for results this product promises results in 30 seconds so one try is all you need to know if it will work for you.

After a week of excitedly waiting for the postman to ring the bell or rushing through the front door at break neck speed at 5:30pm I was rewarded. My newest little miracle had arrived.

I was quite impressed on opening to find quite a good sized tube certainly enough to last a week or two if you were just using it on the forehead and under the eyes. The cream was in a slim tube with a pointy nozzle at the end. The nozzle I read was to allow you to easily aim the enclosed substance perfectly into your wrinkly bits.

I didn't fancy applying straight onto the wrinkles so squeezed a little out onto a clean finger. The cream was quite dense and resembled the colour of a fair shade of foundation. The cream spread easily under the eye and at first glance the change was amazing, the thick cream disguised the furrows underneath and the light foundation shade covered the black rings.

Unfortunately when you started to blend it in the coverage blended away.

There was a slight improvement in the look but the blending had totally taken away the miracle, but it was too obvious sitting there like a thick blob of foundation to leave it without blending.

Following the disappointment under the eyes I started on the wrinkles on the forehead, I'm even starting to get the hint of the number 11 lines right between the eyes so targeted these first. After patting around the lines of brown cream there was a small difference in tone, texture and depth but only if you got out a magnifying glass and carefully examined it. Once the cream had dried on my forehead and under the eyes there was a little bit of a powdery residue which made applying foundation very difficult.

If I had to put a percentage improvement on the wrinkles I would have to go with about 5 - 10%.

Admittedly my skin type doesn't seem to work as well with these kinds of anti wrinkle products as others do, greasy skin particularly seems to show a more marked improvement going by past experience, so while I unfortunately do not rate this product and will not be purchasing the full size I am quite happy to point you in the direction of a free sample to let you make up your own mind as all skin types seem to react differently to these type of products.
