The Olay skincare course is an exceptionally informative and well-structured program that delivers a wealth of scientific knowledge and practical insights into skincare formulation. It excels in breaking down complex dermatological concepts, such as collagen synthesis, ceramide restoration, and UV protection mechanisms, into digestible modules perfect for both beginners and experienced formulators. What makes it truly valuable is its evidence-based approach, featuring case studies on Olay's proprietary ingredients like niacinamide and peptides, along with clinical data showing measurable results. The course also does an excellent job covering product development pipelines, from lab testing to consumer safety protocols, giving a behind-the-scenes look at cosmetic science. While slightly brand-centric, the practical formulations tips, stability testing guidelines, and market trend analyses make it a standout learning resource. For anyone serious about skincare science, this course offers real-world applications, from ingredient selection to overcoming formulation challenges—making it a worthwhile investment for aspiring cosmetic chemists, dermatology students, or beauty entrepreneurs. Highly recommended for its depth, clarity, and actionable industry knowledge!

The course had lots of key information that helped my understanding. I also enjoyed having a go at being a cosmetic skincare consultant for a brand launching in Asia. The assignment gave me an insight into how an idea to market launch needs to be handled effectively. Thanks for putting this course together, I'm very grateful for helping me with the industry knowledge and education.

Very in-depth course that discusses key processes and issues in the cosmetic industry. a lot more information than I was expecting that was very informative. Anyone interested in packaging or the cosmetic industry in general should consider taking this course. There's lots to learn from practices, quizzes, and easy to understand lessons.

Very good course for learning the processes that products we daily use are passing by. If you do all the discussion parts and read all informations, i bet you will understand the cosmetics world like a professional. Very well planned, obviously, with the highest class experts. Thank you for the learning oppurtunity!

It was a test of my knowledge of sustainability practices and taught me all the new updated regulations and terms. I attempted to try some diy stuff but now that I've completed this course i understand what i did wrong within the materials, process, formulation and labeling.

It was great information but redundant compared to the other is the series. I would have liked to have seen 1-2 products put through the cycle as examples of how it works. The forum interaction is a bit silly because many students paste Chatgpt answers without effort in deleting the prompts. Others just post gibberish. The AI interaction was the most useful in understanding I know the process and getting help.

Зміст курсу: Матеріал був добре структурований і охоплював усі важливі аспекти косметичної індустрії. Було багато корисної інформації про процеси виробництва, інновації, тестування та маркетинг.

Ce cours m’a appris pleins de choses sur les étapes du développement produit, l’importance des réglementations et de la formulation produit

Sometimes it is a bit repetitive but it is very interesting

I signed for a free trial and no where did it say that if i finished the course early and within the trial period that they would not issue the certificate. Really unfair in my opinion. I did the work so they should issue the certificate. Withe regards to the course, this gives you a very broad overview but doesn't give you the nuts and bolts of what you actually need to know when it comes to creating your own beauty product like COGS, margins, how to actually write a product brief to pitch to manufacturers etc.
