I’m now in my early 30’s and I’ve already noticed that my skin is not how it once was. It’s more dry, I have more fine lines and wrinkles, and I noticed that my skin is starting to sag in places.  I always look for products that will help me keep my skin plump or youthful. Recently, I got the chance to try Olay Regenerist Collagen Peptide-24 to help my skin bounce back to its former youthfulness.

Collagen is important to the skin because it keeps it plump, firm and elastic. As we get older, our body produces less collagen. After the age of 20, our body produces 1% less collagen each year. With less collagen, our skin starts to show signs of aging. It’s important to use collagen for the skin to keep it youthful-looking.

Our skin is most plump and bouncy in the morning because our skin repairs itself at night when we sleep. However, throughout the day, our collagen levels start to decline due to stress and other factors. To keep skin plump and bouncy, we need to keep our collagen levels up the whole day.

Many brands use collagen for skin products, but many of them are made of large molecules of collagen like soluble or hydrolyzed collagen that only sit on the surface of the skin. Olay Collagen Peptide-24 penetrates the skin better because it contains Collagen Peptides, small molecules of collagen. These are in the form of amino acids that act as building blocks of skin proteins. The collagen breaks down and releases tiny fragments of itself and penetrates up to ten layers of skin.

Olay Collagen Peptide-24 also contains 99% niacinamide,  a potent active ingredient that helps reduce signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles, improves the appearance of pores, evens out and brightens the skin.  With the combination of collagen for the skin and niacinamide, Olay Collagen Peptide-24 provides locked-in moisturization for 24 hours.

Olay Collagen Peptide-24 is a three-step regimen to get plump, bouncy, youthful skin. After cleansing my face, I apply a few drops of Olay Regenerist Collagen Peptide-24 Serum on my face using my fingers and palms. I love the bottle because the dropper is easy to use and dispenses only what I need. The serum has a milky texture and is absorbed by the skin very quickly. My skin instantly feels smoother after application and is not the slightest bit sticky. I follow up my serum with Olay Regenerist Collagen Peptide-24 Moisturizer. It is creamy so I only need a small amount to cover my whole face but doesn’t feel greasy. I find that my face feels so smooth after. Lastly, I apply Olay Regenerist Collagen Peptide-24 Eye Cream to my eye area. The cream instantly hydrates my eye area and makes it more youthful-looking. 

When I use Olay Collagen Peptide-24, I noticed that my face looks glowing throughout the day even as I work in front of the computer all day. The texture is also smooth so it’s a good way to prep my skin before applying makeup. The Olay Collagen Peptide-24 line is unscented so it doesn’t irritate my somewhat sensitive nose. It is also formulated without phthalates, parabens and synthetic dyes that could possibly irritate skin. With Olay Collagen Peptide-24, I can now bounce back to my youthful glow.
