Olay Complete UV Lotion Sensitive Skin SPF30 Review

I've always loved Olay products so was excited to try out this product.

This had so much going for it as you can see below:

Has a great bottle - user friendly, comfortable to hold while dispensing the cream, and it has a one pump system meaning you get the right amount of product each time.

Sensitive formula - Has a nice creamy consistency. Not oily and is quite hydrating. No reaction and I think that is because it doesn't appear to have a scent so no perfume that is going to react with your skin.

Overall it was a great product and left my skin feeling soft and hydrated.

Definitely recommend for those with sensitive skin.

This little product packs a little bit of punch! What I mean by that is that I had low expectations of a drugstore SPF daily moisturiser. For me, I need a lot of moisturiser and this has a lot to do with this time of year. It's winter and my skin is super hydrated. I think that in summer, when I need an SPF that packs power on the daily, this is going to be my jam. In summer I'm not so dehydrated from going to air conditioned offices to heated cars and back again. Instead I'll be enjoying the heat and my skin will be in great shape and this moisturiser will be perfect. If I compare to the Aveeno daily moisturiser 30spf then this feels less thick, but it feels more creamy if that makes sense. If I had to pick between the two then Olay would win every time.

I don't want to over promise on this one, but given that I'm in the midst of the winter dryness desert I can only estimate that this product is going to be awesome in the summer. And because it's available in the supermarkets it's super accessible and won't cost the earth. Also for someone who is medium deep skin toned like me, this won't give you a white cast to the skin. Yes!!!!

By the way, I've tested this under makeup and it's a great smooth canvas for the makeup to go over.

I was picked to trial this by BR on a trial team. Looking after your skin is so important and one of the best things you can do is protect it from the sun. I am ashamed to admit that even with all the effort I put into my skincare I still wasn't regularly using sunblock on my face. I have a thing about sunblock, to be quick I really dislike it on my skin, especially my face! This product has changed all of that for me. It is a nice moisturiser that you almost don't know has SPF 30 in ti. The consistency and texture of the product is exactly what you expect from a moisturiser. There is a slight scent to the product but, and this is important, it doesn't smell like sunblock! It goes nicely onto my skin and sinks in well. As claimed it does not feel greasy on my skin and I tend to have more oily skin to begin with. I usually have a settling in period with any new skincare product, especially moisturisers, but I haven't had the usual breakout and unsettled skin with this one. My skin quite likes it and it's perfect timing for summer to get myself in the routine of wearing sunblock on my face everyday, not just in summer! The packaging of this product is a functional plastic pump bottle. It dispenses the right amount of product onto your finger and you don't have to put your fingers in the product like if it was in a jar. I've really enjoyed using this product, it's been great for sensitive skin and I am going to continue using it in the future.

My daughter is constantly nagging me about wearing sunscreen. I know I should. I work with the eldery and so many of them are suffering from skin cancer - its a real epidemic here in NZ. And yet, I confess, I hate wearing sunscreen. In fact I only do so during summer, on those really hot days.

To make my beauty crime worse - I have sensitive skin that is prone to redness. And yet I can't get over hating sunscreen on my face. The greasy, oily feeling, The residue. The smell.

The Olay UV Lotion is a generous factor 30 and is marketed for sensitive skin. It says its moisturising, but as I've yet to find a sunscreen that seems to absorb, I confess. I wasn't expecting much.

But inside this cute little pump bottle lies the sunscreen holy grail. This is quite literally a high protection sunscreen, in a beautifully formulated moisturiser. Its creamy, but quite thin, so it spreads far, and you don't need to slip, slap, slop it on, to get a decent coverage. In saying that, as it was a trial for sunscreen, I also wasn't stingy with the product. One pump just seems to go really far. 2 pumps was a generous amount for my face and neck.

It doesn't smell overly sunscreen-y. Another benefit.

Winter is being quite kind down south - we're having t-shirt weather days and the sun is really quite strong at times. Probably due to the fact my skin hasn't been abused badly by the weather - I found this product more than hydrating enough for me to use solo as my daily moisturiser. In colder, more bitter conditions, I'd probably need to add in an extra moisturising layer.

But I will be repurchasing this and I will continue to use daily - rain or shine.

Daughter stop nagging now.

I really liked this moisturiser it had a light consistency that dried down quickly (2mins) which I prefer (I don't like moisturiser that still feels wet/greasy on your skin for awhile after application!). I like the twist top application nozzle, as I find this style best for travel as it's the least likely to open & explode through your bag which is always a plus. It has a pleasant fragrance- I wouldn't be able to tell you what the fragrance is though- & it doesn't hang around once it dries down you can't really smell it. I always find it hard to comment on the longevity of moisturisers because obviously you can't see them- but it left my skin feeling soft & supple all day- so I'd say it wears well. I love that it's SPF 30 because so many moisturisers are only SPF 15, it's also very good in terms of being good for sensitive skin my skin is quite reactive so I would notice it feeling stingy if it didn't sit well. Overall great product & great price!

I really like this stuff!. Unscented and coloured white, the consistency is thicker than a lotion but thinner than a cream. The bottle is a nice size and is a pump style. Two pumps are enough to cover my face and neck. This stuff feels moisturising and leaves no chalky looking residue and also no greasiness. My skin feels moisturised and protectes from the sun. With a great, affordable price point, I feel that this will be a great addition for summer skin.

I was excited to be able to review Olay UV Lotion as I have been a fan of Olay products for a number of years. At first glance the packaging was eye catching being predominately a bright yellow. I was surprised to see on the back panel that Olay is a proud supporter of the Skin Cancer Foundation and provided a reference to the skin cancer website for more information. This product is dermatologically tested to suit sensitive skin. On opening the packaging the application was easy to apply with a quick pump action. With Aloe and Green tea extracts the cream is a creamy but not greasy and is easily absorbed into the skin. While there is a hint of fragrance it is very subtle. As with similar Olay moisturisers I am pleased with the product and with the added bonus of SPF30 Broad spectrum coverage, this is a product I will purchase going forward. Pricing is affordable and I would totally recommend this product especially if you have sensitive skin. Thank you Beauty Review for the opportunity to review.

This product comes well packaged in a cute pump bottle enclosed in a carton with clear instructions ,benefits and ingredients and warnings on the outside of the box. I was really keen to try as I have very sensitive skin and am outside a lot in the garden so the fact that not only is this a moisturiser but has sun protection SPF30 appealed to me greatly. First application I overdid the application and also had not read the warning properly and ended up irritating my eyes however that was my fault as Warning on package clearly states may irritate eyes so do read first. The pump is easy to use and has a good lock on so great if you want to pop in your bag and the lotion is a nice texture with a very faint pleasant scent. With the directions apply liberally and massage in I overdid the first applications but with further use found 3 or 4 pumps sufficient to give plenty of product to massage into my neck and face. The initial feel was a little greasy but after a few minutes the product absorbed nicely into my skin but I would imagine with containing sunscreen this would be expected. With using every day I have found my skin has felt really nice and healthy looking with a very slight sheen which looks good and as I am very bad at appying sunscreen I feel this is a massive benefit over all. I use this moisturiser every day I am outside in the garden but if I am in a hurry to apply my makeup would use another moisturiser as this product needs a few minutes to absorb so hard to apply other make up straight away over top however this is a minor problem as I am sure if you were to apply sunscreen you would also have to allow time for absorption. Although not my favourite moisturiser this is a great everyday protection and at $15 for 75 ml well priced. I am also impressed Olay is a financial supporter of the Skin Cancer Society as this gives me more confidence in the sunscreen aspect of the product.

BR sent me this product to review which is nice as my current every day skin care has since stopped being easy to source. This product is designed with sensitive skin in mind and I found when I used it I had no irritation and it is not strongly perfumed like other Olay products. I find it is perhaps almost a cream than a lotion it is quite thick but not over heavy it says in the description it is not greasy which it is actually a wee bit but as I said not heavy I think it is still a cream than a lotion though. I decided to research the things in this product to find out for myself mainly if it can fight my crows feet & wrinkles effectivley. I found: Salicylic acid is in one of the active additives in the chemical composition of this product (namely part of the sunscreen additive Homosalate) which means this Olay product may be good for acne prone skin as salicylic acid is found in most acne fighting products. When I saw the name "olay complete defense" I thought this was going to be an all in one product "to fight the 7 signs of aging" as they have advertised in their other products. I soon realized that this Olay product seems to really just be a sun screen moisturizer. It says it is recommended by the skin cancer foundation but the product is made in Thailand then distributed to Australia so I am not sure the origin of the skin cancer foundation. Elsewhere on the box it says OLAY is a financial supporter of the New York skin cancer foundation for its recommendation. This is perhaps a conflict of interest because are paid to recommend the product so to me AI am a little unsure of the validity of the recommendation although it is nice that they are honest about it.This product falls under the company P&G I notice a lot of products I have used have the P&G icon so I decided to check them out. P&G is made up of many brands which was interesting to lean. For example Head and shoulders, Herbal essence, Gillette. Pantene ProV OralB and Bruan. They even make Vicks, ClearBlue pregnancy tests and Pampers nappies/ baby care products. Although they listed active ingredients and preservatives on the packaging I am not sure if they actually list everything in the product or not. The pump container can be closed and the plastic bottle is not going to be heavy or break in your bag it could also be recycled so that is pleasing. This product gets points for supposedly having a high SPF of 30, Aloe extract which will help calm sooth heal the skin and green tea an anti-oxidant which could help prevent aging, brighten and repaid sun damage as well as sooth the skin. After doing my research and finding that this product is not as anti-aging focused / multi functional as I was hoping for, I am not sure if it is something I would buy. However if you are looking for a nice day moisturizer that does not have a heavy scent, for sensitive skin and may sooth already flared up skin this could be for you.

I really like this Olay’s complete defence moisturiser!

It really catered to my sensitive skin, having no breakouts after using it religiously - day and night! I like how it has an applicator which makes it very easy to use with its light consistency. This moisturiser is also very compact, quite easy to travel with. It also doesn’t have a strong smell to it which is more favourable to me. The SPF30 is just an added bonus! The price is reasonable for its great quality! Highly recommended!
