Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Night Moisturiser

I have suffered with acne for over 10 years now which has recently started to clear up. This means I've been left with post-acne scarring so I have been trialling retinol in the hopes of improving it.

I've tried retinol from the ordinary, quite liked the emulsion but hated the oil! I do not like oil on my face, so I was luckily selected for this trial team.

First off, the packaging is a bit excessive, the cardboard box is way too big for the actual pot. Aside from that, the product itself is a beautiful white cream that spreads super easily and leaves a velvety/silky finish. It says fragrance-free but there's definitely a whiff of something fruity, like berries or grape? But it shouldn't interact with those who are allergic to fragrance.

It's such a light texture and I find a little goes a long way. I've been using it every second-third night in the first week of the trial and now that my skin is more used to be I've been using it about 5 times a week.

I wake up with such soft, glowing, bright, plump skin! I can't tell if my scars have actually reduced much as I've only had about 2 weeks to test this but I love how good my skin looks in the morning. It's also well hydrated too. I used to have a couple dry patches around my face but they're all gone now.

I was worried about sensitivity but I needn't worry! My skin looks amazing and it's even kept my maskne at bay (I work in healthcare so wear a mask during the whole shift).

Would definitely repurchase - finally found a retinol texture I like!

I've really enjoyed using this product.

Each evening I applied a small amount to my face and neck, avoiding the eye area. It's 100% fragrance free, very light weight, absorbed quickly and felt silky smooth.

First morning after using this product I noticed my skin was clearer and brighter looking. After a few days of using, fine bumps on my face had improved and smoothed out. My skin looked fresher and it helped even out my skin tone.

Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Night Moisturiser come in a generous 50g pottle, that is sure to last as only a small amount is needed each time its used.

It's definitely a product I'm happy to continue using and it's ready available, at an awesome price of under $50.00, so definitely within my budget.

This cream has a very smooth consistency with no fragrance. I tested it first on the bottom of my check to see how my skin would react and it was fine, so I then applied it to my entire face and neck. It left my face feeling smooth, but the cream didn't seem to soak into my skin, just sat on top. I have used a few times now and have noticed a more even skin tone which i like. I would have to continue using to notice any more changes like fine lines, dry skin etc. I highly recommend you use this cream at night only due to the sun during the day.

This trial allowed me to use Retinol for the first time. I have psoriasis so followed the guidelines of testing before going into full use of this product. I definitely recommend doing this and luckily for me I did not have any issues.

I love the tub – A cute 50ml tub in a grey/silver mixed with a deep purple tone makes it look like a luxurious product. Once opened I was greeted with a semi whipped type cream that has a pleasant but light aroma. I applied this each night just before bed and after i had completed my normal skin routine. A little goes a long way with this. It has nice consistency and I found it easy to blend in on my face and neck.

I have been using the product for 1 and a half weeks and haven’t noticed any major changes in my skin in terms of fine lines reducing. I so badly wanted this product to work and have quick results as Olay is one brand that I do use for daily Moisturisers. I feel like I need to give this product a little more time before determining if it work especially with the price point being around the $50.00 mark.

I have used a retinol product once in the past, but once it ran out I didn’t end up repurchasing, so I haven’t used retinol in quite a long time. My main concern is skin texture, but also preventing fine lines etc. I used it every second night as suggested to avoid irritation. The pot is lovely and sleek, solid without being too heavy or clunky, and the actual texture of the cream is so luxe. Applying it felt great; it was so velvety and easy to spread over my face - it also sunk in nicely and didn’t leave any residue or tacky feeling. After the second application, I noticed I had dry patches, but I know skin can take some adjusting to retinol so I continued use, hoping to get used to the cream. After each night though, I got more dry patches, and then my skin started stinging. I wear SPF 50 during the day anyway like they recommend as retinol can make skin sensitive to the sun. I don’t usually have any skin sensitivities - I can use any product - but the dry patches and the stinging I experienced while using it, and the fact I saw no improvement in my skin texture, means I wouldn’t use it again.. I think if you had skin that you knew already tolerated retinol well, and were looking for a new product to try, then this could be a great addition to your routine - but personally it wasn’t for me.

This is such a gorgeous moisturiser.

Loved the packaging and the fact it has no added fragrance. The cream is nice and thick and feels expensive. It soaks in quickly in the evening before bed and does not leave my skin feeling oily.

I have been using it every second day so far and I love how plump and healthy it has been leaving my skin. So far I can’t tell if it’s improving my fine lines but I’m looking forward to continuing using this product.

Lovely night moisturiser!! This cream is a good thickness, just right i found. Easy to apply, no fragrance. I put dots all around my face then rubbed it all in, at first it feels abit wet then after about 30 seconds my face is so soft and nice. It lasts all night as I can still feel it on my skin in the morning before I wash. I have used about 1/4 of the container in 3 weeks, so I think it will last a while, good value for the cost. Packaging is nice, very easy to read and understand how to use and what it does. After using it for 3 weeks I feel my skin is plumper and definitely more smoother and feels refreshed and hydrated in the morning, and have noticed my fine lines are bit less visible, hope it will do more after using it longer. Very happy with this product as I haven't used many products with retinol before.

I was excited to try this as I am in my 30's now and have begun an anti-ageing skincare routine. I have already been using a Retinol serum for over a year so I already had a tolerance and could dive right into using this night cream.

I kept the rest of my skincare super simple while trialing this so I could really gauge its effectiveness. I stopped using my Retinol serum and just paired this with a simple cleanser in the evening to avoid any irritations.

This product comes in really nice packaging. A purple tub with a silver lid. While I don't think its glass (more of a thick plastic), its very sturdy so wont break when travelling.

As a dry skin gal, I usually go for a super rich, heavy night cream that leaves my skin feeling wet. The finish with this cream is different, unlike any I've used. It dries down really quick and leaves an almost powdery finish on the skin. It still feels very hydrating and my skin doesn't feel tight in the morning.

I've been using this cream now for just shy of three weeks and have noticed a reduction in my problem areas (smile lines around the mouth and under my eyes). My skin also has a noticeable increase in smoothness. I will keep using this until it is finished and provide any updates.

This is a fabulous night cream that I loved instantly. It contains retinol to improve fine lines and wrinkles. After using this product for a week I saw a difference, The main benefits i saw were smoother skin, soft to the touch, and my fine lines around my eyes and forehead appeared reduced.

The texture of the cream is silky and soft to the touch and sinks in straight away, its easy to use and there is no greasiness residue. Comfortable and light weight to wear, my skin looks fresher, brighter and smoother after I use this nightcream. It’s nicely packaged so also makes a nice gift and I feel it’s great value as a little goes a long way so it lasts for quite a while.
