Olay Niacinamide + AHA Serum

I like the color and look of the bottle for this serum - however I felt a bit silly trying to figure out how to get the serum out - I thought it was a pump...turns out the top twists off and the button at the top is what you used to pump serum into the pipette.

The consistency of the serum is runny but It absorbed very easily into my skin. The smell is quite a sweet, fruity smell, which doesn't stick around - which is fantastic because lingering scents can give me a headache after a while. I used this serum with its moisturizer and they work very well together as they absorbed quickly and didn't turn into a gooey mess.

I was skeptical at first when the package said it would reduce acne and discoloration, but here we are, 5 weeks on and my skin tone is very nice and smooth. This serum helped cleared up my skin from any breakouts within a few days of them happening. My skin doesn't feel smoother, but it looks smoother and more consistent. I can't wait to see how my skin is doing after 8 weeks.

I only used a very small amount (one pump), twice a day over the last 5 weeks and I still have a good amount in the bottle to go - downside is I can't see into the bottle to gauge how much is left. I would say that this product is good value for money. It has made my skin feel wonderful and the discoloration I used to have appears to be gone and the jar seems like it will last me a good 2- 3 months.

I have been using this serum for about 6 weeks and love it. My skin has a nice healthy glow and I do feel it has helped with some old acne scaring, its looks more faded and less obvious. I do have hyperpigmentation from pregnancy too but at this stage it's too early to tell if it's helping fade that pigment or not. I will definitely keep using the serum to hopefully see results fading that a wee bit too . Firstly the soft silky texture of the serum is amazing. It rubs in so nicely and absorbs well into my skin leaving a nice bright looking glow. After applying, my skin feels super hydrated and soft. I love the packaging sleek and easy to use. The eye dropper applicator is great as it dispenses the perfect amount of product so you don't overuse and waste it. Works well under makeup. Overall I would repurchase, a nice product and does as it claims which is amazing!! X

The packaging for this product was lovely the pearly white bottle with a nice silver lid has a dropper for easy application it looks quite glam. This serum is a nice consistency it didn’t feel sticky on my face and absorbed in nicely it has a yummy fresh scent. I found it quite strong for my sensitive skin so only used once a day in the evening instead of twice. Overall a lovely product which gave my skin a nice glow.

The smell was slightly odd, the texture was wonderful and it didn’t make your skin sticky like some can… I thought it definitely reduce black heads and pores. And drew out areas of congestion to result in cleaner skin ongoing. Skin felt soft and good in the morning. The price point is about right and readily available is great. I liked the packaging once I figured it out. I would use again despite the slightly weird smell.

From the outset this product exuded indulgence, it's packing and container are beautiful. I found this serum light on my skin and it smells absolutely devine. I have been using this serum for 6 weeks and have noticed that my skin is so much brighter and the tone is a lot more even. A dark patch if pigmentation I have had on my check for years is now lightened significantly and my skin feels so smooth and nourished. The only down side was that I ran out of serum a lot quicker than expected. I was using it morning and night and it lasted just over a month, for its price point I would've hoped it would last longer. I would still however definitely buy this again if on special and would recommend to others who want a brighter clearer complexion

I had a total blonde moment with this product that I’m not proud of but will share anyway. The box for the product is very shiny and a darkish green colour on the sides, making it hard to read the very small instructions written in black on the box. I worked out how to twist the top of the bottle so the pump applicator pops up – was doing well so far! – I pumped it twice which was recommended on the box but couldn’t for the life of me work out how to get the product out of the bottle. Ashamed to say it took me a good 10 minutes to work out that after you’ve pumped the applicator that you have to screw the top off the bottle to dispense the serum. Heavy sigh, yes I’m a natural blonde. Now that I was fully aware of how to use the applicator correctly, I dispensed the serum onto my palm. I had a bit of an “is this it?” moment with the quantity that was dispensed, but that very small amount easily covered my whole face. The serum has a slight fragrance which is pleasant, and the fact that a tiny amount goes such a long way is a huge bonus. The serum goes on smoothly and instantly absorbs with no greasiness or residue, and it feels like there’s nothing on your face. Used in conjunction with the AHA Moisturiser twice a day, within a week I had noticed a marked improvement in my skin condition, appearance and texture. You also definitely use a lot less moisturiser with having the serum on your skin first, another great bonus of this product. After four weeks of using this product twice a day my skin is almost glowing, my rosacea has markedly reduced and my skin feels AMAZING. This product now on my Must Have list and I will be definitely purchasing it once my trial bottle runs out. The only downside of this product is the glass bottle is white and the serum is an opaque white, so I can’t actually tell how much of the product I have left in the bottle.

I've had great results with this serum, definitely improved breakouts and any small spots resolved almost overnight! It's a nice light serum that sinks into the skin quickly. I love the dropper bottle, it makes it easy to use and control the quantity. Also a small amount goes a long way. It has a yummy scent that isn't too strong and hasn't irritated my skin. Overall, I would repurchase this serum!

I have tried a lot of serums looking for one that ticks all boxes. I like that it’s not too oily and it’s lightweight and absorbs nicely. I like using in the day or night but find it’s more of a day time serum. Made my face but tingly but after 4 days my skin settled down. Will repurchase this one again to give it more of a go.

I used this product in conjunction with the moisturizer, and found it to be a nice follow up to leave my skin feeling silkier. It has an interesting bottle, that I am not sure is the more practical but a nice novelty nonetheless - the lid screws off and there's a dropper on the other side, you press on the lid to push the serum out.

The serum is a thin consistently, and blends beautifully, while leaving my skin also feeling more refreshed. The smell isn't too strong and is a mix between clean and a very light floral scent. I have noticed my redness on my cheeks left over from blemishes has improved noticeable, and my skin tone seems generally more even. I did not experience any breakouts while using the product which was great, and actually reduced my use of salicylic acid. I also didn't experience any sensitivity or redness, which sometimes happens with vitamin C; so it seemed easy on my skin. I like that you can pair this product with any other moisturizer's to give them a boost. I will continue to use the product, as I imagine over time I will see even more results; and even silker skin hopefully.
