Olay Antioxidant (Vitamin B3, C, E) Super Serum

This serum smells amazing and absorbed quickly into my skin. I used this along with the moisturiser which also absorbs quickly. I did have a slight improvement in my skin but not a really noticeable one. A nice product.

My skin is smoother and pretty healthy after using this product am/pm for about a month. It’s a nice overall serum with actives like AHA that I love and not too harsh like a glycolic.

First up though I can’t get over the smell - it’s like orange and very similar to their luminous moisturiser and TBH I’m a bit sick of it now and I may not buy this again because of it. Also the lid can be a bit fiddly to open and get the product out and can you tell how much is left? No as the bottle is opaque but I guess this protects the contents.

One drop is enough to spread across your whole face so this is pretty economical even using it twice a day. I think my age spots have faded slightly and I’m more even toned so I’m glad to have used this one. I’m definitely a converted Olay user however I’d probably try other products in their serum range to get a different fragrance.

This serum is light and non greasy on the skin and has a pleasant fruity fragrance that isn’t too strong and fades fast.

It definitely made my skin feel smoother when I applied it but I didn’t notice any actual difference to my skin.

I really liked the dropper system on this bottle. ¼ turn and the button pops up to draw the serum into the dropper, full turn and it is free for you to apply. The bottle itself seemed overly large for its contents volume (30ml) but they maybe to allow for the schmancy dropper. The serum was nice to apply, I used 4 drops for face, neck and décolletage and felt I could’ve used a touch less and still get good coverage. It soaked in quickly and left the skin feeling mildly hydrated and ready for moisturizer. It was not at all oily. I was occasionally comboing this with a Rosehip oil at night for extra hydration. I used this in coordination with the matching Olay Anitoxidant Moisturiser for approx. 3.5weeks. I did not see any change in fine lines in that time, but my face is smooth and soft. More than before? Hard to say, but it at the very least did not have a negative impact. I may purchase this product again if it were on sale, but I think for the price, there are better products available.

While I like the look of the shiny packaging of the Olay Regenerist Antioxidant Serum, I was really disappointed when I opened the box and found the serum bottle was only filling part of the box. It’s not that I think a larger bottle is needed in general, but I think the packaging is misleading, and produces unnecessary waste. The information and instructions on the packaging are very clear for how to use the serum itself, however, I was missing information on how the serum is used together with, and works with, the other products in the Regenerist Antioxidant range. I have been using the matching moisturiser at the same time as the serum, and I looked up on the Olay website how those two items were meant to be used together. While I found this information, I did not get a clear idea of why both the serum and the moisturiser should be used at the same time, i.e. what the actual benefit is of using both rather than just one of them. The bottle for the serum is very pretty, and it comes with a dropper to dispense the liquid serum. I have found it quite hard to use the dropper to dispense small amounts, I seem to always get a lot more serum out than I want to. The serum itself has a really nice consistency, and absorbs well into the skin. Given that the serum needs to be used together with SPF in the daytime, it would be really nice if the matching moisturiser came with an SPF. I cannot comment on the effectiveness of the serum alone, as I have been using it together with the Antioxidant moisturiser, but even together I have not noticed any changes to my skin that I would describe as younger looking as promised by the products. While I have been a long time user of Olay products, and I have always really liked their moisturisers, so far I am not a fan of their anti-ageing products. I would not buy this again

This serum is very easy and smooth to apply- once you've worked out how to open the bottle! Twisting the cap you then reveal a dropper which you can push and dispense just the right amount of product. The serum is smooth and fragrance but soaks in quickly leaving a nice glow. I used it every night for 2 weeks but didn't see any noticeable changes in my skin. That said, I was also using the moisturiser in this range which I don't rate so I will try the serum on its own so I can compare. The serum doesn't last particularly long which should factor in the decision to purchase as it is a pricey product. I'm not sure there's too many positives or negatives for this serum - it's just a nice addition to a skincare routine if you need a little extra moisture or care.
