A Disappointing Oil of Olay Product: Definity Pore Redefining Scrub

Product Review

The Oil of Olay Definity product line has so many winners, it is surprising to find a dud of a product, the Definity Pore Redefining Scrub carrying the Olay name.

Other Oil of Olay products hold truer to their claims than this skin care product does. The skin care lotions and creams seem from
 Olay seem more effective than their face cleansers.

What Definity Pore Redefining Scrub Claims

The Definity Pore Redefining Scrub claims that it minimizes pores. It also claims that skin will be more luminous.

Oil of Olay claims that this product will work on skin that is dull, oily, and uneven.

Ingredients in Oil of Olay's Definity Pore Redefining Scrub

Oil of Olay's Definity Pore Redefining Scrub contains exfoliating beads, beta hydroxy, and glucosamine.

The True Effects of Oil of Olay's Definity Pore Redefining Scrub

After two weeks of use, there was not any change in the pore size. No minimization had taken place.

If you go by the name, you will be very disappointed in this skin care product. The Definity Pore Redefining Scrub did absolutely nothing to redefine pores. In fact, it agitated my pores enough to cause a break out on a part of my face that would not normally break out.

The product was also a bit drying.

As for making skin more even, it did not have that effect.

What I Like About Oil of Olay's Definity Pore Redefining Scrub

There is one feature of this skin care product that I did appreciate. That feature is the way the product is delivered. The large silver cap is turned, and the product an then be squeezed out of a small hole in the center of the cap. This product delivery system makes it easy to use the right amount of skin care product, without squeezing out too much and wasting it.

By having a cap that does not come off, the chances of losing the cover on this Oil of Olay skin care product is pretty much non-existent. Whoever deisgned the cap was thinking about the person use the Olay skin care cleanser.

I use and love all of the Oil of Olay products, but I don't seem to be able to get any response from the company. I have sent in a request for a coupon and never received it and I sent in a rebate for Regenerist and haven't seen that either. I wrote to the company asking if they were backlogged and haven't heard a word. I am getting ready to send in the ProX rebate form this week. If I don't receive word from them on anything soon, I will stop using their products, which I really don't want to do, but I need to know I can trust a company not only to give a good product but good customer service. I am waiting on $45.00 of rebate and that $5.00 coupon for months. In this economy I count on using that money to purchase more product. Sorry, I just wanted to know if anyone else had the same issues with Oil of Olay. Just trying to see if it's just me or if anyone else is having issues? Thanks

I have been using Oil of Olay products for years and haven't had any problems so far. I ran out of the Definity while on a trip and purchased another Olay product. Going back to Definity. It really works for me. I love Olay products. Our skin changes as we get older and not everything works as we would like it to but Olay products definitely helps most of us.

it took dr. a year to find out my allergey. it was Found in all shampoos and fragrances. so i had to go to all oil-of-olay. I even wash my hair in the soap. so if you are having an allergic attack i sugest throwing away all you'r shampoos , anything with that ingredent in it. stick to ola-y.not body wash just use the bar soap in everything. this is one good product. i'll never switch again.

I've been using Olay Definity Pore Refiing Scrub for more than a year and I can't tell you how many folks have asked if I've had work done... they don't believe me when I say no ... just switched fash washes! This is the best product ever ... I've had large pores since puberty and this is the first I've ever used that helped shrink them and made my complexion the best it's ever been... Im 53 years old and no one belives me when I tell them. So, Pam ...this Pam has to disagree with your assessment.

I am 54 and recently went to a party hosted by my husbands old frat bros. Everyone there is our age and I had not seen them in years. One of them came up to me and told me, "eveyone seems to have aged around here but you"! ...Then last week the UPS guy came to my door with a package and he told me "excuse me but you need to be at least 21 to sign for this package". Now granted he was reaching on that one. However, I have used Olay regenerist since it came on the market and don't plan on stopping!....THANK YOU OLAY!!!!!!!!!

I love the product. It has actually helped me immensely. I noticed a difference in my face the first day I used it. Really I did. It has cleared up the Adult onset acne that I have developed and has kept it at bay. I think my face does look more luminous as well.

I have had no problem with this product. It DID work for me. Maybe it depends on skin type, I've always used Olay products, since I was a teenager. I just wish their commercials would use women over 30-40, why put a young woman in an ad for a product that she doesn't need?

I love Oil of Olay products and am surprised to hear a negative review of one. Thanks for the info; I will definitely steer clear of this product in the future.
