Olay Niacinamide + AHA Moisturiser

I have been using Olay Niacinamide + AHA Moisturiser for 5 weeks now. As a lifelong fan of Olay (Oil of Ulan in the "old days") I am always keen on trying their latest offering. I received Olay Niacinamide + AHA Moisturiser in conjunction with Olay Niacinamide + AHA Super Serum. I started to use them both together, as instructed twice a day,  but found there was just too much moisture for my combination skin. So I resorted to using 1 at a time in rotation each night only (as I was hesitant to use for day use due to the increased risk of sun burn and the need to apply a sunscreen too - which would be a step too far in a build up of moisture on my oily areas). I have noticed a reduction in darker areas of sun damage/freckles and look forward to the continued effect. A little on the tips of the fingers goes a long way and it does absorb quickly.  My skin is definitely still moist in the morning and this lasts all day, assisting in greater ease of makeup application and a better look. While claiming not to clog pores, I do believe my pores have been affected by the extra moisture. I love the light peach fragrance which is very subtle. As with so many products these days, the box it comes in is HUGE. What a waste - no one would mind if the box actually represented the true size of the product. I must admit I have a problem pulling the plastic cover off the top of the jar nearly everyday - very sucky - thank god for the little notches you can get your nail under.

A great duo for a AHA serum. Niacinamide + AHA Face Cream Moisturiser has a beautiful classy packaging but it was quite hard to take the inner lid off (be careful not to break your nails).

The texture is thick and scented so if you don't like fragrance in skincare this may put you off. I prefer to mix a few drops of facial oil so it is easier to apply on the skin. It absorbs well and doesn't leave the skin greasy. A small amount is enough so the cream will go a long way.

I didn't have any irritation with this product. Since the days are getting colder I am enjoying its thick texture and it feels quite nourishing for my skin. I haven't noticed any obvious changes in my skin, but I just enjoy how this moisturizer nourishes my skin and eases dryness.

It is definitely worth giving a try.

I have used the Olay Niacinamide + AHA Moisturiser (in combination with Olay Niacinamide + AHA Serum) on a daily basis for a number of weeks now.

I found this moisturiser to be thick and creamy and had a great aroma (similar to Olay Niacinamide + AHA Serum).

This moisturiser absorbed well into my skin, leaving it feeling soft and refreshed.

I do believe my face was brighter, but am not sure that the stubborn spots were reduced (maybe this was happen soon!)

I have a slightly oily face, this moisturiser worked well with my skin and did not clog my pores.

Unfortunately the moisturiser didn't contain sunblock, so that was another cream I had to apply.

I was really excited to try this product! I have never put too much thought into what moisturizer I use on my skin. This one you only need a pea sized amount but my skin feels super hydrated and covers beautifully. I have noticed clearer skin as they say they will do! I thought it my clog my pores as this has been a problem in the past but no! They look better than ever. Highly recommend.

My initial thoughts when receiving the Olay Niacinamide + AHA moisturiser was that the packaging was beautiful, but possibly looked like it was aimed at a slightly younger audience than myself. It very clearly states what problem areas the product works for and the jar itself is gorgeous.

Using the product, it's a luscious thick cream, which is instantly absorbed into my skin. It has a lovely citrus scent, which I personally don't believe is over-powering. However, I do like it when my products have a mild scent. It instantly left my skin feeling very smooth and soft. During the first week, in the first hour or two after application my skin did feel hot and looked a little bit redder. I was using it with the serum as well and tried different combinations of leaving one off, but it did seem to be both. After the hour or so, this subsided and after the first week it seemed that I no longer had any reaction. It's possibly very similar to when people first start using retinol.

I've now been using the product for around a month, maybe longer. I'm really loving the smell of it and my skin is looking so much clearer and smoother. Which is something I can barely believe as I've been struggling with my skin a lot in the last year and it's finally starting to look less red, bumpy and tired. I'm really loving how bright it's looking and would definitely use this product again.
