Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum

I love this stuff!

The fact the applicator delivers the right amount is great (if have probably used a lot more each time without it!).

It absorbs in without lots of rubbing. You can't feel it 'sitting' on your skin afterwards. It doesnt really have a smell. But the best bit is how my skins feels the following morning - smooth, soft and moisterised.

I've noticed a huge improvement in the texture of my skin - it's been less oily and I've had no breakouts while using it.

I'll definitely be buying this going forward and will probably also try the death of the range - hoping the eye cream can work the same wonders on my dark circles!

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.

I have used a lot of products containing retinol or retinoids in the past, so I was excited to try this new serum. One of the main concerns with any retinol is the tolerability. I am happy to say that I did not experience any side-effects, discomfort or skin sensitivity at any point. The product comes in a container with a screw cap and dropper. The serum is milky white, fragrance-free (nice!) and non-oily. It absorbs instantly and I found it to be hydrating and quite soothing. I used it under a night moisturizer, but on occasion, I forgot to add a moisturizer and my skin still felt hydrated enough. I cannot say that there was a noticeable improvement in pigmentation or pore size, but my skin feels hydrated and it does look a little brighter. I like the combination of retinoid and Vitamin B3 and I will definitely purchase this product again in the future. Happy to recommend to others because it ticks all the boxes: Hydrating, brightening, firming, affordable and tolerable. Thanks Olay.

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.

The serum arrived in a well packaged Red and silver Olay colours box, understandable as the dropper and the holder is pretty well protector - I hv not been able to establish if its glass or some kind of luxury plastic.

I followed the BR directions and only applied every second day in the first week, after doing the patch test (no reaction), and found my skin had a bit of a tingle. Nothing alerting just the normal serum tickle, I have had used other products in the past that was definitely more tingly. I used my night moisturiser with this product.

The dropper itself took a bit of figuring out - as the pump part pops up when unscrewing the cap. You then give it a quick pump to draw the liquid into the dropper. I then drop this on the back of my hand and apply to my face. The liquid is bit thicker and does stay on the back of my hand (found other products would just run of and wasted a lot), however I found that I had to use a bit more to cover my face and neck than the dropper allows.

Easily spreadable and ease of use, which I liked. I have been using the product for 3 weeks now and have seen a bit of improvement in my skin. If this is due to no air conditioning, make up or office environment, or if its the Retinol 24 night serum I am not able to tell, however I will keep on using the product due to the easy way one can apply it.

At around $42 I am not sure it is affordable. I have less expensive serums that work just as well, however Olay states you will see a difference after 28 days of continuous use so I have another week to go.

This wee bottle of serum had a noticeable effect on my skin after a few weeks of using it. Skin looks brighter and tighter. The serum itself is a lightweight white non sticky milk that absorbs without leaving residue. It’s delivered in an exact amount every time you use it which is great as takes guesswork and wastage out of the equation! It’s very affordable at $39 bottle and will last you ages. No fragrance at all.

I was lucky enough to participate in the Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum trial. Thank you BR.

The boxed packaging is simple with brief directions and a caution on the box. I wasn't wowed by the by the opaque, glass bottle holding the Retinol or the silver coloured plastic screw top with a plastic dropper for dispensing. I have used an automated dispenser before and found Olay's clunky to use. It was not a seamless action in comparison.

12 hours before use I did a patch test on my jawline. Then applied over my face (avoiding contact with eyes!). My skin did not and has not reacted.

The first week I used twice a week and have increased usage from there. After removing my make up and cleansing, I apply Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum evenly over my face. When you unscrew the cap it automatically draws up the product into the dropper in preparation for dispensing.

Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum is fragrant (and nasties) free. It is milky in colour, ultra light weight and absorbs quickly into my skin. A little product does go a long way.

After applying Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum my skin is definitely smoother in texture and very hydrated. I was pleasantly surprised my skin was just as smooth and hydrated when I wake in the morning. It is too soon to honestly say I noticed a difference with fine lines. I look forward to in another few weeks time to see if there is a noticeable difference.

It is recommended to wear an SPF on your face, in the morning after using Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum. I use SPF in both my face moisturiser and foundation.

I am new user of retinol and this serum is my second product so I can't compare with other products but here is my experience. The serum comes in gorgeous, lush looking purple dropper bottle which isn't transparent. Minus for me as I love to see how much product is left to use. I don't find it easy to use and I actually would love it to be simple pump bottle instead. Because the texture is a bit thicker, a lot of serum is being left in the pipette. The texture is milky and lightweight, a bit thick. I don't feel any scent. It is easy to apply, feels silky on the skin and absorbs well. It is recommended to use pea size amount but for me it isn't enough. I love that it has added Niacinamide which is always soothing for my dry skin. I think this serum makes my skin smoother and helps with skin tone. I haven't seen any visible improvement with fine lines so think the brand's claim it'll transform skin in 28 days, is a too bold. Anyway I know you need patience with retinol to see visible changes. I didn't have irritation so far. I overall like the product but it is not something I'd repurchase.

I really like using this serum, love the way it makes my face feel really soft and it has definitely lightened the dark ageing spots on my cheeks. I will definitely keep using it and also thinking of buying the other products that will work well with it..
