For most of you, it’s the first 2009 workday — Happy New Year! And yep, I’m already looking to add to your workload, in the best beautygeek way. That means product testing!
Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream is designed to help restore volume and fullness to the skin’s appearance. You might have seen the ads about its recent success: In a Good Housekeeping Research Institute comparison study of a range of face creams, Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream scored the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval for hydration effectiveness. And, in independent testing, it actually outperformed 32 of the priciest (some go for $700 CAN) European and Japanese luxury face creams in the U.K.
Not content to rest on their Seal of Approval, Olay wants real-women feedback from Canada-based BeautyGeeks readers (minimum age 34) willing to give Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream a go and report back in a detailed comment. If you’re a beauty civilian (as in not industry folk like editors, pr types, researchers or anyone at a beauty-care marketing or advertising agency) interested in testing Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream yourself, please copy, paste and answer the questions below via e.mail to imabeautygeek@gmail.com. If you’re selected as a tester, I’ll holler in a return e.mail with more details.
Please note: this testing project is now complete, including participant-posted reviews. Here’s what BeautyGeeks readers think of Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream

I have used some Olay products but am concerned that the company still tests on animals…is this true…? what do you think about that?
a strange program glitch messed up the order of posted comments and replies; reply originally posted 22 March 2009 at 11:23 pm
Hi Laura, I completely understand your concern about animal testing. You’ll find an answer from Olay’s parent company P&G at pgbeautyscience.com.
Me! I wanna be a guinea piggy!!
Hmmm. Well, I don’t think the cream can turn you into one… *grin*
oink! oink!…love being a guinea pig for also!!
Looking forward to reading your review. I’m glad you speak human as well as pig!
I’m trying to open the email link so I can answer the questions, but it’s giving me a syntax error….aaaarrggghhh!! I wanna be a geeky pig too….hehehe
Oh, I’m sorry about the syntax issue, Julie! Someone else had the same problem, but I couldn’t figure it out — worked fine every time I tried it. And now, I’m sorry to say, the group is full :-( Thanks so much for trying. I’m happy to say I have some giveaways in the very near future, though, and who knows what other opportunities might crop up? Thanks again!
