Is Olay Regenerist a good peptide based product? I was highly contemplating to purchase it since I notice my cheeks started to slighty sag.
ReplyDeleteI like the Regenerist line because of the hydrators but I prefer the Definity line because it contains a Glucosamine Complex that penetrates up to 10 surface layers deep, hydrating skin and promoting the NATURAL reconstruction of collagen. We always want to use products that HELP or body produce it's own sebum, collagen and elastin. Which is what slows down as we get older...the self product and speedy reproduction of these essentials. SMOOCHEZ THUY!!
