Olay Luminous Niacinamide + Vitamin C Super Serum

I was very excited to try this product!

Not going to lie… figuring out the bottle took me a lot longer than I would like to admit. I definitely prefer pump bottles for serums and face products, rather than a separate dropper that you try and screw back on when your hands are slippery with serum

The serum itself didn’t really smell of anything. It did leave my face feeling quite sticky, until I put moisturiser on. Wasn’t a fan of that tacky skin feeling

As with anything skincare that has vitamin c, it is not recommended for oily skin as it encourages the skin to produce more oil. As I have combination skin, I used this serum only on the dry parts of my face.

I didn’t notice a change in my acne scarring, or general skin condition while trialling this serum. That could be related to face mask use though, so I will keep trying and see if it changes my mind

I’m not in a hurry to go and purchase this product myself

This is a beautiful liquid is a thin, light consistency. It’s a wonderful pearly opaque colour that looks quite luxurious. It has a dropper type applicator in the lid of the bottle that doesn’t pop up until you untwist it. I personally really like this it’s easy to use the amount you want with out wastage, but can’t be pressed until you are opening to use. It has a slight fresh fragrance that I really like and it’s gone before you finish applying it to your face. It says to use 2 pumps twice a day but I only needed one which would be less than 1ml (I think) to cover my face nice and evenly. It absorbed into my face really quickly and I was presently surprised that it didn’t add too much more time to the face care routines. With only needing such a little Amount this product would last me a good 4-5 weeks I think and with a price of around $55-$65 on different retailers I don’t think it’s too bad for what your getting. Its comes in a 30ml glass bottle it’s has a silver lid with the dropper that’s easy to use and open, the bottle is a sparkly iridescent that is quite eye catching when it’s in the right lights. It has all the information about us wage clearly printed in a nice size txt on the back.

My skin just looks more fresh and less dull since adding this to my routine. I just can see my skin glowing thought out the day, my dark spot also seem less noticeable and have started to fade with more time I’m sure they will fade more.

I would 100% recommend this to anyone who feels there skin looks dull and flat I’ve had a couple of people say how my skin looks so nice and like I’m glowing! It’s a great inexpensive way to shake up your skin care routine and give your skin a bit more life! I love everything about this product it’s going to be permeant in my routine from now on.

I have been using this serum for more than a week now and I love it. I have a dull, uneven skin tone and was looking for a serum that does the job.

The serum comes in a pearly white colour bottle. The twist cap with the pump is very innovative and makes it easy to use the product. I use the serum in the morning and at night. I use about 2 pumps worth of product and massage it around my face and neck. I love the light fragrance and the light smooth texture. It has a nice fragrance. It is easy to apply and absorbs quickly. I noticed my skin is brighter and glowy. I find the longer I use this the more even my skin tone becomes. I don’t look so tired. I use it at night before facial oil and they work together nicely.

I would definitely buy this product again and try other products in the Olay range.

First off can we just have a little 'oooooo' about the fancy dropper bottle?! It sort of sucks up the product into the dropper as you open the cap, then decants the perfect amount at the push of a button. Altogether now....fancyyyyyy!

I knew I was going to love this product when I first saw the box. You know when you just know? The shimmering box in a teal to silver ombre scream classy mermaid, and the bottle itself is strong, feels weighty and again shimmers opalescent.

The serum itself is runny and white coloured, it spreads easily and the amount dispensed by the dropper is more than adequate for facial coverage.

It's one of those products you feel instantly working - you know how a good conditioner instantly smooths hair? This is like that, your skin just feels instantly better; it absorbs almost instantly and feels so smooth to the touch.

This has upped the ante for my base products too - moisturiser and foundation just seem to apply better after use.

Twice a day usage has definitely given my sallow winter skin a luminous boost - and my t-zone feels less oily. It's a winner!

The name is a mouthful isn't it!

I like everything about the packaging - top marks Olay. The box has lots of information on it and the bottle itself is sleek and clean, a quality addition to the vanity.

My googling of price buts this anywhere between $40 and $60; a pretty reasonable price band for a serum of this quality.

My skin is slightly oily in areas with a tendency to look dull over winter - this serum has pretty much righted the imbalances within 2 weeks! The niacinamide has definitely corrected the oily zones and yeap, my skin definitely looks brighter, more dewy.

The general skin texture feels vastly improved.

I do not like fragranced facial products so the scent is a bit of a bugbear for me, but I've powered on through and am glad I did because the results have been so good.

This serum comes in a gorgeous silver and turquoise box. The bottle is a lovely pearly glass with a silver top. It looks luxury! It has a pretty auto glass dropper which is easy to dispense the right amount of serum onto your face. It has a fresh botanical scent which absorbs into your skin really quickly and feels light. I really like this product it definitely made my face look fresh and brighter and made it look more glowy from the first use. I didn’t notice a difference in my dark sun spots but I think 2 weeks isn’t enough time to see a difference in this kind of skin concern. I have super sensitive skin and found this product didn’t irritate at all. I love how it doesn’t contain nasties like parabens, mineral oils, petroleum etc. Definitely would use this again!

This serum is milky white and very liquid. It's not an oily serum, which I love!

It is fragranced but it's not unpleasant or over powering.

Its a beautiful product to use, the silky texture glides over and absorbs into the skin, and ahhhh my skin just drinks it up!

It is a glow producing serum, there is a difference between glow and shiny though you'll be pleased to know. This is that sort of luminous dewy foundation skin, it's really lovely. I've been using this and felt comfortable running errands sans foundation!

My skin feels much softer, more balanced and definitely looks better - so whatever that unpronounceable ingredient is...it works!

I'm not sure of the price point, but I'd happily pay maybe $45-50 for this? You only need a small amount and the precise dropper means no product wastage!

LOVE!

Wow, I love this serum! 1st.. the bottle and applicator! I have not seen that before and I love how easy it is to apply! I noticed it says to add 2 pumps each time but 1 pump is more than enough for my face/neck! As soon as you put this on your face it just soaks in, feels soothing and nourishing! I’m excited to see how the Niacinamide and VitC works it’s magic on my skin! Awesome product that I will continue to buy!

I was really excited to try this product. I've been looking for a serum for some time. The packaging was clear on how and when to apply, and I thought the design of the bottle looked high end. It's scent was stronger than I'd anticipated, but wasnt overwhelming. On initial application, it felt really lovely the skin. It wasnt too heavy, and it didn't feel greasy. I was really happy with how it applied at first glance. Unfortunately, I seem to have reacted to the product, and came out with some sore, unsightly pimples. I don't normally react to products (the only other cosmetic or facial product was benefits bang bang mascara). I did wonder if it was hormonal acne, or a reaction to wearing a mask long term, however it wasn't until I stopped using it, that the pimples cleared up.

I always love trying a new serum, as I feel as though my skin becomes too used to the same old products I usually use.

First off, the packaging is super cool. I love the shimmer of the metallic-look box. The bottle itself also has a shimmer and is in a solid glass cylinder. The silver pump lid is easy to use, collecting the product into the dropper. Then you click the pump lid again once you have unscrewed the lid and the product is released from the dropper.

The texture of the serum is milkier than most other serums I have used. It has a thin texture and applies well, 2-3 drops is a great amount for my neck and face. It settles into the skin quickly and instantly has a brightening effect.

Usually I prefer a heavier gel type serum for my nighttime routine, but this has been a nice change.
