Olay Regenerist Collagen Peptide 24 Serum

So I was confused about how to access the product, but once I figured it out, I found that I quite like the design as it's not one I've seen before and allows you to get the product without risking contamination. The serum is fragrance free, which I don't enjoy personally, but that's not a big deal. The texture is nice enough, thin and not sticky so easy to apply and massage into the skin. I usually use direct acids, but niacinamide is not one of them, as I find it causes my skin to purge - I haven't experienced that with this product though, which is a lovely bonus. Other than not causing a purge I haven't noticed any particular difference in my skins appearance or texture. Overall it's a nice enough serum, but I wouldn't purchase it again

The design of the packaging bottle of this serum is just like the Olay Regenerest retinol 24 night serum which comes in a blue bottle with a silver screw lid. This serum comes in a red one with silver screw lid. The lids have pump part that pops up as you unscrew the lid. You push the pump on the top of the lid and it sucks up the serum you then take the lid out of the bottle and the tube which is attached has serum loaded into it like a dropper. To disperse the serum onto the skin you push the pump. The silver lid looks metal but it's just plastic and the bottle is glass. The serum is white and feels like to spreads quite easily on the face it didn't feel sticky. I'm not sure about the pump design because It seems like when your using the air it is sucking air which I'm not sure comes from being already in the bottle or if it is sucking in air from outside the bottle potentially contaminating & causing the product to deteriorate? I also felt like when I pumped to suck up the product it was unpredictable how much you had in the tube there fore how much would be dispersed out. As for the serum itself, I think this serum went fine under make up. Usually when I stop using my holy grail anti wrinkle serum frown lines on my head and between my eye brows are quick to reappear but with this serum so far they have not come back strongly which has made me like the serum. The box it came in says skin instantly plumps firms & smoothens fine lines, hydrates for 24hours & improves skin bounciness. This is only up to the epidermis layer of the skin. The issue here is the collagen peptides niacinamide etc don't penetrate past the top of the skin so it doesn't work on nourishing the younger skin it just appears to help the already shedding surface skin. I had already heard to be weary of collagen products in skin care as the particles are too large and just sit on the very top of the skin. Ideally you want to nourish from with in not just the top and penetrate deeper skin layers. Even so, I tested this product at a very stressful time in my life and am content with the results I really thought my skin was going to look bad after the few weeks of using but it doesn't. I did notice one of the first ingredients in this is diamenticone which is in hair conditioner its like a lubricant & gives a silky feeling but it isn't ideal in the long run Its basically silicone I think it could clogg pores as silicone and diamenticone don't fully wash off with out soap and even then can still leave a coating which can prevent other products from absorbing into the skin or hair. Aside from this I like this product but am sceptical of using it long term. It is free from parabens phthalates mineral oil and is 30ml.

Packaging: Sturdy dropper bottle, once I figured out the go I liked using it.

Formula: White serum, not oily or greasy, but also not a watery liquid. Fragrance free - bonus!

Use: A little goes a long way. It absorbs fast, I left a couple of minutes between layering on the moisturiser, but I don't think it would be an absolute must-do step. Feels soothing upon application

Results: Skin is definitely bouncier and more plump. Skin looks brighter and more even. Pores and fine lines seem to have lessened.

Final thoughts: LOVE! I'd be interested in the price point, but basing this on other Olay products, I will be able to repurchase.

Packaging: Sturdy dropper bottle, it was cumbersome and not my preferred packaging for a face treatment.

Formula: Off-white, opaque serum, absorbed ok but didn't feel substantial.

Use: The small amount the dropper dispenses just doesn't seem enough for the whole face. I gave it 1-2minutes before applying the moisturiser which when you're short of time in the morning was a little annoying.

Results: Skin feels smoother and there has been a slight improvement in fine lines and shadowing under the eyes.

Final thoughts: I've used Olay products for years but I won't be adding this product to my beauty routine.

This is a light serum that absorbs quickly. The packaging is pretty cool, I love how I can push the top of the cap to dispense drops of this serum- which keeps the serum hygienic and also ensures I can get the perfect amount I need. And then I just twist the cap closed and it's pretty spill proof. Together with the cream, my skin feels softer and smoother and not dry at all which is unusual with the cold mornings.

I found the texture silky and smooth, which made it easy to absorb into my skin. It is early to tell but I already feel and look as though my skin is fresher, younger, and healthier. I feel good knowing that it has clinically proven anti aging ingredients that are safe on my skin. I am excited to continue using it! It also feels natural because it is fragrance-free.

This was my first time trying a collagen serum so I was unsure on what to expect. The first thing I noticed about this product was the bottle, it comes slightly larger than other serums I have used. The pump was interesting, nothing I had seen before so it took me a while to figure it out. You need to twist the lid to open the bottle and the top pops up, then press down on the "pump" to draw the serum. I didn't understand the purpose of this but it was quirky nonetheless. I was relatively pleased with the serum it self as within a few days I had noticed an improvement in my skins texture. My skin appeared smoother, clearer and felt softer. I'm not sure about my skin being more plump after using this serum though, I feel this wasn't entirely achieved however I will continue to use this serum as I am happy with the results I have achieved thus far and am sure more results will continue to be achieved with regular use.

First up, I am obsessed with the packaging and bottles. I think this is one if the first times where the boxes are similar size to the actual product! Not going to lie, took me a minute to work out how I actually open this (heads up, you keep twisting the lid). I used this serum each evening as part of my routine, the serum glided on beautifully. I haven't noticed any major differences as yet, so I'll continue to use and watch this space

I absolutely love this serum. It is lightweight and is refreshing and hydrating. I have been using this morning and night and it is a really good addition to a self care routine. The packaging is gorgeous and feels very luxurious. It feels amazing and refreshing in the morning. Super easy to use and really handy that when you untwist the top it sucks up the perfect amount to use. It has lasted quite a while and my skin feels really smooth and plump even with this change of season. Works great under a moisturiser and love that it contains niacinamide as it actually takes out a step in my skincare routine. Highly recommend.

Beautiful bottle. So beautiful, it took me about 5mins to figure out how to open it. Then I did, and I felt like an idiot. Shame on me. It’s a very fancy Doppler! The serum itself was nice from the first pump. No fragrance, no stingy irritating sensation. I only used 1 pump per night during the trial as I don’t usually use skincare with Niacinamide in it. I loved the lite creamy milky texture. Circular motions and it was rubbed in in no time. I think it was about day 3 when I noticed the texture of my skin improving. I usually had pimple-like bumps on my forehead, and by day 10 (today) they basically don’t exist! I’m very happy with that. I was also a little oily on the forehead at the time, and the niacinamide has helped balance that out. It’s great to not rub my head during the day and feel greasy. So far, my only downside was that it did make me quite dry. I am usually a little on the dry side, and it is a change of season, but with my previous skincare, I haven’t been “dry” in about a year. If I were to continue using this product, I would reduce it to maybe twice per week.
