Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Night Moisturiser

I’ve been using this for a fairly short time but am not new to Retinol. It comes in the traditional Olay jar and has a similar texture to the other Olay night creams but is more cream like than gel like. I have been using this over the Olay Hyaluronic acid serum and while they seem to work well together I feel like my skin needs something heavier at night. I would say this would be ideal as a starter retinol as it’s easy to apply and can be used with other (non retinol) serums but if you’re extremely dry or are a seasoned retinol user then this may not be the night cream for you.

I first brought this in sample size from chemist warehouse and it converted me to how wonderful Olay is.

Retinol can be a tricky beast, so this was nice simple way to start. I use this two to three times a week it goes on smoothly and absorbed well no strong fragrance. I experienced no adverse side effects that retinol can give.

Immediately and the next day my skin felt the softest it ever has and I repurchased it in full size

I purchased a 2-piece gift pack from Chemist Warehouse as I wanted a night moisteriser. I had never even heard of retinol or what it is good for, but after using it and finally doing a bit of research, I can say I am converted! I have been using this, along with the serum and eye cream for a couple of months now - not always every night, but at least 3-4 nights per week. My skin is so much softer, you wake up and it is still soft. You only need a pea-sized amount - the product goes far. I went to a beauty therapist and she said this is a good product of the shelf too.

Definitely a must have on your skin care routine! It has delivered what it has promised and that is glowing moisturised skin.

I have often-reactive skin that's also very dry, and this is a lovely night cream for me. (I already have retinol in my weekly routine, but other ingredients can easily trigger my sensitivity, and this cream doesn't cause me any issues at all.) The texture is really beautiful - it's rich and hydrating but with no oily, fatty sort of feel to it. It melts into my skin but leaves a satin-like finish that feels moisturising and comfortable. I apply it over a serum (also Olay, btw!) and wake up with calm, comfortable, hydrated skin. Love it.

Long-term, I think it's supporting and nourishing my skin. I'm not sure that it's noticeably smoothed out my wrinkles or faded my sun damage, but my skin does look happier and healthier and maybe even a little plumped with on-going use. That's a pretty great outcome from a cream, imho.

What I don't love is the jar. I know it's an iconic Olay thing, but I'd give it a whole extra star if it was in an hygienic and ingredient-protecting pump bottle.

Overall though, for me this is a lovely product packed with proven ingredients for improving skin texture, hydration and appearance - and without nasties like fragrance to mess with sensitive skin types. I'll happily buy it again and have already recommended it to someone.

WOW okay I need to contain myself to stop making typos. So, I have rosacea right, and it sucks. Every new product I get has to be tested on my double chin first to make sure it doesn't burn. I would NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS USE RETINOL but I thought why not give it a try. I was pretty darn nervous to tell you the truth. I watched lots of YT videos and reviews first to make sure my face wouldn't burn off leaving me looking like Freddy Kruger. Night number 1, I first put moisturizer on, then I put a recovery oil, THEN I put this olay retinol on...I wanted to have a big barrier between this stuff and my skin, just incase. Well it was fine and I just figured I may have been a bit OTT with the barrier. I waited a couple of nights as you shouldn't ever use retinol twice in a row for your first time. Night number 2... I just used moisturizer first and then the olay retinol. Again, no reaction. Woke up in the morning with the silkiest most lovely skin. Even went as far as wondering if my incurable rosacea was cured but no, alas, it did come back after cleansing. Well I was impressed and became a wee bit cocky. Only had waited one night before I did attempt number 3. This time, naked skin straight after cleansing. I started with a dot. Then after a few mins I dunked my whole face in it. YOLO. What happened...IS AMAZING! When I got into bed I told my partner to touch my face and he was just as shocked as me. I realized that this stuff could actually be helping the pustules (which is rosacea talk for acne). My skin was so smooth the texture is unlike I have had in years. Next morning I woke with no spots and relatively pale face compared to beetroot red. I have since been using this product every second night for almost 3 weeks and I HAVENT HAD A SINGLE PIMPLE! This could be just a coincidence however I haven't been pimple free since I was on Doxy which is an acne/rosacea antibiotic. I will absolutely continue using and buying this stuff. It must have just the right amount of retinol to be calming on sensitive skin. As you can tell, I'm very impressed and I would not spend this long writing a review on something that isn't worth it. OLAY, you nailed it.

I have been using this cream for 2 weeks and I could can see the fine lines are diminishing. I love this product, there is no scent and very quick to absorb. The cream feels really soft and moisturizing when it's on.....velvety almost. I will definitely keep using it and would recommend it to friends.

I am enjoying using the Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Night Moisturiser, over the past week especially, I have noticed amazing results! My skin instantly feels soft and silky and this moisturiser absorbs really well. My skin is feeling so hydrated the next day. Initially after three days I had some dry patches on my face but once my skin got used to it they disappeared and were replaced with soft supple skin. I can see fine lines around the sides of my eyes and forehead have noticeably become softer and less pronounced, I have also noticed it has faded some of my darker sunspots on my cheeks and around my eyes, amazing! Overall I would use again and feel like this is an effective product with true results. My skin is so much nicer!
