Dolly Parton Uses This $27 Moisturizer an 80-Year-Old Said “Tightened” Their Skin

Whenever I fear aging, I think of Dolly Parton — who proves wit, talent, and radiant skin needn’t have an expiration date. Furthermore, the country star proves that pricey skincare is hardly a prerequisite for healthy, hydrated skin. The singer has been a longtime fan of drugstore brand Olay, specifically its under-$30 Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream, according to the brand. Joining Parton in her fandom are more than 11,000 Amazon shoppers who’ve awarded it a five-star rating, so it’s no surprise that one jar of the face cream is sold every 12 seconds.

The Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream is a skin-plumping, face-firming daily moisturizer. The fragrance-free formula is perfect for all complexions, specifically dry and mature skin, as it provides ample hydration, both instantly and over time, plus anti-aging benefits via a host of dermatologist-approved ingredients.

Chief among them: hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, both of which offer unique youth-preserving power. Hyaluronic acid, for one, plumps the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by flooding the skin with hydration. Furthermore, as dermatologist Dr. Lian Mack, M.D., previously told InStyle, the ingredient “creat[es] a barrier that retains water in the skin.”

Niacinamide, a B vitamin, is similarly beloved by experts for its pore-size diminishing properties. Furthermore, "some studies have found that it may help reduce the appearance of age spots and other forms of skin discoloration,” dermatologist Dr. Hadley King, M.D., previously told InStyle. Ultimately, smaller-looking pores and less-prominent dark spots make for a more even-toned complexion — hence the buzz around B3. Finally, on the firming front, peptides spur collagen production, which, in turn, stymies age-related skin sagging.

Unsurprisingly, the cream has amassed a loyal fanbase, which includes shoppers who’ve relied on the product for decades. One in their 80s says it’s smoothed and “tighten[ed]” their skin, while another reviewer calls it a “miracle cream.” One 63-year-old fan says their complexion appears “supple and bright” with “very few wrinkles.” Yet another shopper, who’d accrued visible damage from years of tanning, swears it’s “improving [skin] texture,” fading forehead lines, and has even “lifted” their “jawline sag.” Finally, says an 80-year-old shopper who “always get[s] compliments” on their skin, Olay has been their go-to for decades.

For bouncy, youthful-looking skin à la Dolly Parton, shop the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream for $27 at Amazon.
