Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

Thick, emollient and made for dead-of-winter dryness, this night cream leaves skin plump and dewy by morning instead of tight and dried out. It's the extra-rich version of the regular Regenerist, with niacinamide, glycerin and hyaluronic acid, and the gurus find it more soothing if your skin feels like it's on fire. Commenters even swear it's a La Mer dupe, and there's a fragrance-free option.

"This is my favorite night cream to use during the winter. I've been using the Olay Regenerist line and I generally love the original Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream in the red jar or I love the Olay Regenerist Night Recovery Cream in the purple jar. Those are my two favorites, except when it's really, really dry, the heating months of the winter, then I switch to this one. I love it. It's so thick. If you are struggling with dry skin over the winter, definitely give this one a try."

"This is the Olay Regenerist ultra rich formula. It's just got extra emollients and extra moisturizers in there, so when you put it on at night and go to bed, when you wake up in the morning your skin isn't all dried out. It still looks plump and moisturized and dewy. It is the most fabulous dead-of-winter moisturizer. If you're having trouble keeping your skin hydrated over the winter, give this a try. It's really good for this time of year, especially."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Source: DermNet

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Source: DermNet

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
