Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum

I’ve been using this product most nights for a few weeks now as part of the trial team. I must admit that I was hesitant at first, as it was suggested to do a patch test first and watch for any reactions - but the serum is actually a real dream to use, I had zero negative reaction, and I’ve got to say that I’m genuinely pleased with the results. It is labelled fragrance free, which it is and which I really like. I think often this type of product, even one that claims to be fragrance free, can smell chemically, so a thumbs up from me. It goes on easily, and is very light and quickly absorbed, my skin felt good afterwards. Does it work? I think for the most part it probably does. I think committing to the product regularly over the time I’ve had it has seen my skin look better, a little plumper and the tone is definitely a little more even. There is plenty left in the bottle, and when it runs out I’m intending to re-stock.

I must say, I was extremely impressed with this retinol product. Normally when I use retinol, my skin dries out for a little bit before it gets use to using it. Not with this product! I experienced no dryness at all. I have normal-oily skin, so dry skin is not the norm for me. I’m 33, so I do have some “life” lines haha. But nothing too major. My main concern is my pores. Since using this product, I have noticed that my pores look visibly smaller, which I am stoked about. People have also commented saying my skin is looking amazing and that I have a glow- some going as far as asking if I’m pregnant! (Which is impossible since my partner is female haha). I do have a pretty good skin care regime, so I think the combination with the retinol serum and my skin routine has made my skin amazing. Overall, I am extremely impressed and will be purchasing this again!

So it took me a couple of tries to work out how to open the bottle (I was tired that day I think), but once you do work it out, it works really well. The pump dispenses exactly the right amount of serum to do face and neck, so no wastage. The serum itself is quite thin, and it goes on smoothly and absorbs in not time at all so you can add a night cream and not feel like your skin is getting overdosed. The serum is unfraganced, and my skin didn't have any reactions to it (other than looking brighter and plumper). I will definitely keep using this one.

The packaging was nice to look at, Silver and Deep Red, although was similar packaging to other brands. The bottle itself was very nice to look at, a shimmery blue/purple bottle with silver lid. The lid acted as a dispenser as well. I twisted the lid to semi open it, then pressed the top down, then twisted the lid off. I then pressed the top which dispensed the Night Serum onto my hands.

I used the product every two to three days for the period I had the product. I didn't have any issues with using it, no reactions at all.

I did not notice any changes in my skin at all. No difference in my fine lines or wrinkles, no reduction in redness or dark spots. And it didn't hydrate me for long either. I still needed to use my moisturiser at night and morning. Some mornings I would have to clean my face as there was a residue on it.

Unfortunately I would not be recommending this product.

This serum has been a pleasure to use. For a product that treats so deeply overnight it is surprisingly light. Non greasy and fragrance free as well, it makes you feel like you are doing only good things for your skin. Although I think you need to use this serum for much longer than 30 days to see a noticiable change in wrinkles, it did within a few weeks make my skin look and feel brighter, smoother and more hydrated.

I've been using this for the last few weeks and it is good! It's very light and non greasy. I've been using it for a few weeks now and I have noticed that my skin is looking clearer/brighter and it is feeling more supple. I'm also enjoying the fact that there is no added fragrance to this formula and it smells clean.

The first time I pout this on I couldn't stop touching my face, it was SO soft. I have an 11 week old and I feel in these 11 weeks I've ages at least 10 years so was super excited to try this. To be fair it's too soon to see if my wrinkles have decreased BUT I have noticed my skin is more bright (considering I'm running on empty) and my bags definatly have reduced. I'm excited to see some long term results.

Olay Regenerist Retinol24 is a product I really wish I'd stumbled upon during my first foray into retinol around six-ish months ago. There are so many products available at varying strengths and price points that it felt pretty overwhelming trying to decide what would work for my skin without turning it into a complete disaster. This stuff is foolproof. My skin usually makes me pay for adding, subtracting or just making any tiiiiiiiiny tweak to actives in my regimen but this stuff had no negative effects being added in which I think is in part thanks to the serum having absolutely no noticeable scent (no nasty dyes either!) and absorbing beautifully without leaving a strange texture on the skin surface. The bottle is heavy for its size, I like this because it feels like the precious retinol inside is well protected from light, air and clumsiness. The dropper built into the lid is genius! it draws up the PERFECT amount of product so I never use more than I need to or not enough. I didn't notice a huge difference in the appearance of my skin texture or brightness which I didn't really expect having already been using retinol, I do think this did a fantastic job at maintaining what I've already achieved though which is excellent. Would I repurchase this? yes, if I saw it on sale for a good price I'd definitely grab a bottle for myself and I'll be encouraging friends/family just starting out with retinol to give this a try.

I enjoyed using this night serum - it has no scent, a really nice (not sticky) texture, and it's more moisturising than I thought it might be! I have combination, slightly sensitive skin, and I didn't have any issues using this product - I should say I introduced it slowly, every other night for a while, before going full-time. While not drastic, after a few weeks use I feel like I can see some results, with some of my darker spots appearing lighter, and an improved texture to my skin. So far I'm enjoying this serum, and would definitely consider repurchasing it!

This is a great designed lid, pump the top and you get exactly the right amount to apply for your face. I tried this over a three week period, taking extra days between applications for the first week. I did not have any reaction, so then used it every night. I can see a slight difference, but early days, so will continue to use this from now on. This is fragrance free which I really like on a night product. It goes on nicely, and no streaks, or leftover product on your hands after. My face feels nice and silky, not sticky after applying.
