I loved Olay's AHA Luminous serum, so when I saw this in the vault, I went for it, and I'm very pleased I did. First big tick: It's the same packaging as Olay's other serums with the clever lid-dropper, which is hygienic, easy and non-messy. The red and silver bottle looks classy too.
The serum has good body, perfect for smoothing over the skin easily but not watery at all, with a lovely fragrance that's lightly citrusy. It absorbs into my skin beautifully, leaving a hydrated, softly satin finish.
After using it daily for a few weeks, I'd say my skin's pretty happy with it! My skin's very dry and ageing fast, but it does feel moisturised and even a bit plumped and smoothed with this serum. The formula is packed with vitamins and peptides and no nasties, so I feel like I'm putting good, nourishing things into my skin. And my face can be sensitive, but there's no hint of stinging or irritation. Just hydrating comfort.
Recently finished a lovely Korean skin serum (I'm From Ginseng) and needed a new one so I chose this from the Beauty Vault. I am glad I did because I like it a lot. It isn't sticky, slimy or watery, the consistency is just right for me. I'm about 4 weeks in and I think my skin looks clear and feels comfortable, no product switch breakout for me. It has a noticeable fruity citrus scent you find in a lot of Vit C products. I like the packaging for now, but not sure how it will go towards the end because I can't see how much is left and I don't know how close to the bottom the dropper goes. If I run out I can pick it up again easily. I will finish the bottle, and unless something pops up that makes me really want to try it I'll buy and continue to use this Olay serum.
Tips: It might feel like one pump isn't enough, but it is.
