I think it's the mint makes it tingle

I haven't had any tingling, but face feels fab! And I don't care what any of you say, I DO look better

NorbertDentressangle · 27/05/2010 14:00

None here

Maybe I'm beyond help

I got mine and liking it so far But haven't noticed any minty tingling..and like Alibaba, wish there was a sunscreen in it. If I look younger in 7 days I shall be very happy. Now where's the cream that can make me lose 2 stone ?

Well, tried it out for the first time this morning and am disappointed to note that far from making me look younger, it appears to make me look older by exactly one day than I was yesterday !

My top stayed on and I did like the coolness of it (not so mnuch a tingle as cooling imo)
Also a bit there is no spf as I had to put some SPF on anyway, so would rather be able to do it all in one but hey ho.

My skin felt really dry after applying it, and now feels oilier than usual. Still look like a wrinkly prune though!

feedthegoat · 27/05/2010 16:09

I got mine yesterday.

I've not noticed any tingling at all. I quite like the smell of it, I was slightly worried they'd make it smell of mint!

I like a day cream to have SPF too though.

Horton · 27/05/2010 16:10

I've just tried some after getting home from work. Quite like the smell but do not like the powdery feeling afterwards at all. And I agree with Sunshine, the tingling feels exactly like an allergic reaction (I'm not normally allergic to Olay).

I'm glad there's no sunscreen as I don't really want or need one in daily life.

If I hadn't known you lot had all pulled the top off, I would have too. It nearly came off but I managed to open it without splurging (v v v carefully).

NorkyButNice · 27/05/2010 16:11

My skin is definitely less greasy than it normally is by this time of day - I haven't had to touch up powder at all since this morning.

Libra · 27/05/2010 16:11

Mine also arrived.

My top also came off when I tried to remove the lid. Design issue?

Haven't tried it yet - will put some on tonight!

bluebump · 27/05/2010 16:12

I haven't noticed tingling at all and I am usually quite sensitive to new products. I thought one pump seemed like too much to put on to me but actually it sinks in well and despite having quite oily skin normally it still seems quite matt to me.

loonyrationalist · 27/05/2010 16:16

Got mine too. Usually use big tub of emmolient cream for all moisturisation so this is going to be interesting.

Had tight feeling after using at 11 am this morning until way after lunch - can't say I'm keen on the sensation but I guess that's how it disguises wrinkles. Smell a bit over powering. Test will be to see if DH thinks I look glowing & younger when he gets home..

I used mine for the first time this morning. The smell is really over powering. I don't like that at all and it would definately put me off buying it. I normally us E45 and can't say I noticed any difference putting it on. Not sure if I look younger today - will ask dh!

cyb · 27/05/2010 17:23

I like my day cream to have an SPF too

I'm so knackered i cant tell whether its made my crumply face feeel/look better or not

cocolepew · 27/05/2010 17:28

I like it as a make up base

maxybrown · 27/05/2010 17:33

I can't smell hardly anything in it and only use simple normally so not as if I use anything strong smelling........interesting how we're all experiencing very different things about it. Well I can smell something but find it very subtle - almost like suncream

specialsmasher · 27/05/2010 17:56

Yes! I pulled the bloody top off too, and a great big gloop of it went on my bloody carpet!

Tsk...

ds1(4) has slightly misunderstood the concept of the cream making me look younger. He asked me if I was going to get smaller - I think he thinks I'm going to regress into a child .
