This review is by Courtney from Storing Up Treasures:

For as long as I can remember I have struggled with my skin. I have what is called “combination” skin. It is sensitive, dry at times, and also extremely oily. On top of that I have gotten acne since I was 11 years old. Now at 32 years old, I still struggle with my skin. As I am getting older taking care of my skin has become my top priority. I want healthy, soft skin, while also keeping it clear and shine free. Finding products that do all of these things has been a challenge.

So when I was offered the opportunity to try the Olay Professional Pro-X Clear Line, I immediately said yes. It is a three-step process starting with Olay Professional Pro-X Clear Pore Clarifying Cleanser. It also includes Olay Professional Pro-X Clear Skin Clearing Treatment, , as well as Olay Professional Pro-X Clear Complexion Renewing Lotion. I noticed right away that the products were gentle and unscented, which is exactly what my skin type needs being that I have sensitive skin that can often get red and blotchy from harsh products.

I started using the Olay Professional Pro-X Clear Line about two weeks ago. Always skeptical, I started using the products thinking they would not work for me. Yet, I noticed a difference in my skin after just a few days. Right away my redness and uneven skin tone started to improve. I also saw my acne begin to clear up too. I love how sheer and light the complexion renewing lotion is. It never feels heavy or greasy. It gives my skin a beautiful glow.

After two weeks, I had no acne anywhere on my skin. I almost couldn’t believe it. My skin looked more even and the redness was completely gone. Not only that, my skin was a lot less oily than normal. Although my skin still gets that midday shine, I can definitely tell it is not as oily as it once was. I am extremely pleased with the results I have seen so far. I am looking forward to seeing it improve more in the coming weeks. I really feel I finally found a product that works for my skin.

Here is a photo of my skin before I began using the Olay Professional Pro-X Clear Line, with no makeup.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is my skin after using the Olay Professional Pro-X Clear Line for two weeks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's hard to see in these photos but I am so excited with the difference I see after just two short weeks. My skin looks amazing, and I feel more confident and beautiful with clear skin. I plan to continue using this product for a long time to come.

It seems like my skin is more prone to scars, & although I don't have nearly as much acne than when I was younger, I have so much more oil! Ick! Go figure!

As I've gotten older, my skin seems to know two things - dry or oily. And no where in the middle!

Thank you.

I've noticed a few blotches from sun damage but the overall dullness is what really looks old to me.

the sunshine in arizona creates laugh lines at an early age, there arent to many that make it to 30 without them i wasnt one of them and im okay with that you trade off what you love for what you dont as ive reached the age of 43 the lines have deepened but i still like how i look and praise God for all the days i wake,

Except for the age (I'm about a decade older), I am this woman. I have high hopes now if I try this line of products. Thanks!

I have noticed lots of little lines on my forehead and around my eyes mostly. My facial skin is also a lot more dry than it used to be.

I've noticed that my skin has dried out a lot more, and looks visibly drier than it did when I was younger. I definitely need to step up my moisturizing routine.

I have noticed small sun spots and face feeling drier as I am getting older.. I have lines around the eyes and mouth, which the hubby calls my laugh lines.

My skin is always all over the place - dry to oily and back again!

I had beautiful skin...then I grew up! I can never afford to try this and try that to see what would work on my zits, wrinkles and brown blotchy areas! I didn't realize that after a certain age my face would look like a road map. So, I go to the store and look at all of the pretty bottles...and that's all I do is look. So, the opportunity to try the Olay Professional ProX Line is exciting!

I have always been blessed with a great complexion but since my hysterectomy a year ago, my skin has changed. I notice it's more uneven and I am having a hard time finding foundation that blends right without looking blotchy. Also, very dry skin all over and living in the Northwoods of WI doesn't help.
