()I'm in my 50's and though I've slathered on the sunscreen while at the beach, it seems like the decolletage always gets too much sun leading to sun damage.After just a few days using Olay Definity Neck & Chest I've noticed an improvement!What I particularly love is the way this cream disappears into the skin, leaving it soft and smooth, not sticky. Other creams and lotions make me feel sweaty & greasy and clog pores, but not Olay Definity.I also like the fact that it's odorless and doesn't interfere with my perfume.The skin on my chest and neck area seems to be more supple and maybe (wishful thinking?) a little younger looking.Yes, it could have SPF, but that might take away from the satiny feel.Too early to tell about the long term benefits, but I would buy this product based on how great it makes my skin feel.I will recommend it to my friends and skin care professional.
Note 8/23/09:After several weeks using this product, my chest began to break out badly. My skincare professional believes that the product contains silicone derivatives (note anything in the ingredients ending in "-one" and there are several) which make the product silky, but will also clog pores.I've discontinued use and have had no more problems.Wish I could change the number of stars on my review, but Amazon won't let me.
()Years ago I was a sales rep for cosmetical ingredients. Meaning that I worked with major companies to bid on what was in their products to sell them and learned many things about them. I worked for no cosmetic company butsold the ingredients they needed to them from a broker who supplied them in large quantities.
Some things are fairly interesting...like the companies who put an inert and non-working ingredient into their products that tingle because we equate "tingling" with doing something. Or those who use cheaper ingredients that are mostly fillers. Or water as the first and primary ingredient. I learned much.
At that time I was always impressed with Olay as a company because, not only did they always seem to purchase quality ingredients and not use fillers as their main ingredients, but their cosmetic scientists seemed to always put whatever was the newest research into the products before others did and at a better price. Therefore, I've been using Olay for years but had never heard of this.
COMPANY INFO & CREDIBILITY:
As a consumer, I just turned 43. That changes everything, doesn't it? Unfortunately! The changes are...in my own aging. And that makes anti-aging products even more important. Because I still read up on what's out there in the market even though I no longer work in that field, I already knew the original facial Olay Regenerist and the Olay ProX actually did show better results in not only their own tests but many independant ones as well...even ones on the Today show that showed the changes in facial lines measured and photographed for a few weeks on the more expensive lotions and Olay.Google it for info. I'm sure it's all still floating around on the 'net.
I don't remember all lotions it was up against but I do know it beat out La Prarie's $650 moisturizer because we worked with them.
Okay, so knowing all that, and being a big fan of their face lotions, I was interested in trying out a neck and chest cream. To be honest, I put face cream on my neck already but if something is better suited, I'm game.
NEED FOR PRODUCT:
First, smart idea I think. We concentrate so much on our facial lines and moisturization and forget you can tell any woman's true age by her neck...even for actresses in Hollywood, a facelift doesnt' touch the neck wrinkles, right?:-)Always telling!! I would like to know more about why this is targeted to JUST the neck and chest and how it's different from facial procusts though.
WRINKLES:
It's hard for me to tell a major difference because I didn't apply this to just one side of my neck. I do have wrinkles on my neck (none on my chest) and I THINK there is some softening of these but the most dramatic difference I've seen is from the evening of skin tone and softness created by the product. I do think there was some softening of fine lines but that's a bit more scientific of a test than I can truly do on my own with the naked eye at this point.
EVENING OF SKIN TONE:
Yowza, it has started to ERASE age spots on my chest. Uneven skin tone comes with growin' old...I kinda want to use it on my face and see if it provides the same evening of skin tone. I've only been using this a few weeks and already seen this difference so, to me, this is a huge hit in advancements for those my age.
SKIN SENSITIVIY:
I have VERY sensitive skin. So much so that I refuse antibiotics because they make me break out like I'm going through a second puberty. I actually cannot wear LOTS of brands of lotions and sunscreens because of the sensitivity of my pores. However, I held my breath to see any ill effects...none at all. No breakouts or irritations.
PACKAGING: Too often facial and body products, even including some from Olay, require you to dip your finger into the product. I'm not a fan of this and avoid them. This causes bacterial spread from anything on your finger as they are never sterile. They can grow and contaminate products. So I love the pump the treatment comes in...pumps out just the right amount the FIRST time you pump it so you dont have to keep pumping...and prevents bacterial breakouts. Beautiful bottle with a swirl of both parts of the ingredients that combine together when you pump.
SCENT:
It's unscented. This is good...I have had a few Olay products that were way TOO scented florally and I like this new move they seem to, hopefully, be making in leaving them scent free. At least as far as the last few things I've tried. I hope it's a permanent move on their part as I hate to have my perfume compete. Just smells fresh and unscented.
FEEL:
smooth, easily rubbed in, not oily at all.
NEGATIVES: As no product is perfect, I don't like to leave any review without uncovering negatives. Although I am very happy with all aspects of the product I do agree with other reviewers who stated I want more info as to what I can fully expect to see with long-term use. Better labeling. Because this formula doesn't seem to be widely available yet, I would expect that this might very well be added to the product during the full launch?If not it should be.
CONCLUSION: I do feel that I will add this to my daily regimin of skin care and will probably also try it on my face for a few weeks since I liked the results on my neck and chest as it seems to be a good match for sensitive skin. Our neck and chest can often be forgotten in skincare and yet we show aging there often more quickly than our faces.

()First let me say that when the newsletter came out, this was the only product I could order... so I did. I then gave it to a good friend who has her own business for women, doing intensive beauty treatments. She readily agreed to evaluate this and it took her 8 weeks to do a full evaluation.
That said, she said that it does work... for a few hours. She added that it felt like a masque when it was on, washed off easily and the effects disappeared when it was washed off. At the end of 8 weeks there was no difference. She also stated it left a waxy feeling on her skin.
So there is the opinion of this product from someone way more qualified than me to give their opinion on it.

()I've used Olay Definity Neck & Chest Daily Restoration Treatment at night for a couple of weeks, and it doesn't seem to do much of anything, except make my neck and chest feel like they've been powdered.The directions/product information are not very specific, so I am uncertain how to use this product, and what it is supposed to do.This product has a faint chemical smell which I find pretty objectionable (rare for an Olay product).It clogs pores, as well, which is not a problem I have had on my neck and chest with other moisturizers.
I hoped, prior to using this product, that it would be a good moisturizer, at least, and possibly an anti-aging treatment for the neck/chest area.I haven't been as fastidious about using sunscreen on my neck and chest as I have been with facial sunscreen, and I'm starting to see some signs of aging.
I received this product free of charge as part of the Amazon Vine program.To help potential buyers, I like to reveal whether I would have purchased a product, and been pleased with my purchase, if it had not been given to me.I may have purchased this product if it had not been a Vine offering, but I would have been disappointed that I had.I am throwing the bottle away, and will not, of course, purchase it again.

()I didn't see much of a change in my skin's appearance.I used until the bottle was empty.It did like how it made my chest and neck soft and silky, but other than that it didn't improve the appearance of spots and dullness.I also found the first few times I used this product I broke out a little on my chest and neck. This isn't something I'd recommend to friends or family.

Bought this product on a friend's recommendation to prevent an allergic reaction I get from sun exposure in the spring and fall (my condition is called PMLE Polymorphous Light Eruption).IT REALLY WORKS!!Without taking Heliocare, I will develop a rash/hives after only 5 minutes of sun exposure.But one pill daily and...no hives!I also use Anthelios sunscreen, but often forget to put it on.
