The Philosophy kit and the Olay one are the same size, so I would assume it would last the same amount of time. I usually did my Philosophy kit once a week, although I must have skipped several weeks at a time, because it lasted me probably two years! I can’t imagine it only lasting 8 weeks, even if that’s using it twice a week. The Olay kit has more fragrance that the Philosophy one. It doesn’t bother me at all, but it’s has an orange-like smell, and it’s sort of perfumy at the same time. It doesn’t smell at all like Olay Regenerist.

Do you think the Olay brand will last you as long as the Philosophy kit did? I noticed on the Olay site that it said it was 8 weeks worth of treatment (though I am not sure if that is for once or twice a week). Also, how’s the smell? I used to use Olay Regenerist Deep Hydration Cream but that particular perfume smell used to make me nauseas for a few minutes after applying.

Thanks for everything!

I haven’t tried either the Philosophy or the Olay kit, but I will definitely have to get one or the other, since I’m always trying to keep my skin as smooth as possible. The one exfoliating product that has definitely made a difference in my skin is MD Forte’s Glycolic Cleanser. It’s made my skin tone more even and even seems to have gotten rid of congestion beneath my skin’s surface.

Thanks for all the great skin information! I’ve tagged you on my blog! :)

I have also used the Olay system. It works very well.

However, Plain ol’ Baking Soda honestly works even better. It brightens my skin an incredible amount. Get a washcloth wet with warm water, and wring it out. Put about 2 tablespoons of baking soda in the center of the washcloth, and drizzle a little warm water on it to make a paste. Either use the washcloth to scrub your face, or use your fingers to pick up “chunks” of the paste and apply it as you would a masque, add a little water and rub in circles, and then wash off with a washcloth.

In addition, brown sugar mixed with a splash of coffee and some heavy cream makes a fantastic daily (morning) skin wash. The coffee tightens everything up and makes wrinkles disappear, the cream moisturizes. The sugar exfoliates on the first day, but if you make a jar of the wash, the sugar dissolves over 24 hours and simply preserves the other ingredients. Use it all up within a week to ensure it doesn’t turn rancid.

I have used the Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion & Peel System and love it!
