Okay, so here’s the deal. I was kind of confused about the magnet part but after reading some of the reviews about the science behind it, I continued to look into it. Here’s what I have found:
The way it works is by using two key ingredients in the cream: Niacinimide and Pentapeptide.
Niacinimide helps to reduce appearance of pores, uneven skin tone, fine lines, dullness, and weakened skin surface. It’s in most anti-aging skin care creams.
Pentapeptide is a naturally occurring amino acid which stimulates lower layers of the skin to release collagen and hylauronic acid which are naturally created in a younger person.
So, these are two anti-aging ingredients in the cream that are pushed further into layers of your skin by using the “magnet”.
The “magnet” is not a magnet in the same sense as what you see on your refrigerator. Therefore, trying to put it against something metal isn’t going to work. It also does not mean there is metal in the cream. Instead, it’s using what’s called “magnetic polarity” which is a naturally occurring force... for example, a compass works by using Earth’s magnetic polarity- by attracting the magnet in the compass to point North.
The two ingredients in this cream have a natural magnetic polarity within their molecular build. The tool Olay created has the mirror image of the magnetic polarity in Niacinimide and Peptapeptide. So, similar to when you put two magnets together (+ to +), they push away from each other. This is what the tool is doing. It is pushing the mirrored ingredients deeper into the skin.
JAAD (Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology) wrote up an article about this technology from Procter & Gamble. “The results indicated significant improvement in skin barrier as determined by TEWL with the Niacinimide formulation applied with the magnet applicator as compared to either no treatment or treatment with the Niacinimide formulation applied by finger.”
As for the personal experience, the cream is super silky, a subtle fragrance, and feels great with the magnet! This stuff has gotten super popular in Asia for a reason... it REALLY does work!
****ONE MONTH UPDATE****
I’ve been using this cream + magnet for about a month now and I love this even more. Since using it, my pores have become visibly smaller, my skin is bouncier and firmer, and it gives me that “dewy” look when I wake up in the morning. I actually find myself feeling my skin during the day because of how smooth it has gotten. And the SMELL is my favorite. I am definitely recommending this to friends and family.

So I saw this product on a Buzzfeed ad and was immediately confused how/why magnets help me look well rested / more youthful. And I read all the reviews and the magic of science explanation and now I’m totally hooked. I’ve had the face cream for about three weeks now and have been using it about 3x/week, only at night. The texture is more like a gel that absorbs quickly, which is way better than a goopy, heavy cream most other night masks are made of. First thing - I’m obsessed with the smell. It’s super clean and fresh but still feminine and lovely. Next, ive definitely noticed my skin is more firm and dewy (which is super hard for a 33 year old that’s lived in the sun most of her life). My pores have shrunk! Finally, the magnet part is actually fun. It’s a mini massage for your face right before you go to sleep - love it!
