Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum

Nice enough serum, but the dropper does not release what it has sucked up. The bottle seems half full so it’s not going to last long .

This was this first retinol I had tried. I purchased as I noticed frown lines. I was shocked how silky this is! It absorbed quickly and left my skin beautifully soft. It even completely removed my frown line! I have used two other brands after using this one and the Olay is by far the best! I will be purchasing it again after I finish my current retinol.

As it was my first time trying retinol, I was worried about my skin reacting, but it didn’t! It left my skin beautifully soft in a way no other serum has!

This night serum is so nice and luxurious, I wake up and my skin is always glowing after using this. I have a bit of acne at the moment and I have heard that retinol as well as helping with ageing can help with acne. I haven't yet used it for 28 days but I am already seeing a decrease in my acne after a couple of weeks and my skin is overall radiant and feels much softer. I love how the pump works it is very clever and gives you just the right amount. Would definitely recommend this serum to someone with some acne.

Ok so I like retinol in skincare because it's backed by science. I feel like my results with this were not as good as I had hoped. My favourite product which is both expired and hard to get makes some of my lines & wrinkles almost disappear. After using it less frequently and then switching to the Olay the frown lines above my nose came back which was not nice to see. Then towards the end of the trial they seemed to be improving. Things have to get worse before they get better but I'm just not too sure in this one. Lines on my forehead have reappeared too. The design of the product - I was trying to twist the top part trying to figure it out with no luck then saw you had to unscrew the base of the lid. It's like a syringe pump dropper. I don't know how much retinol is in this product bit I would like to know. The serum is white and it feels as it a little goes a long way and quite hydrating but as far as the results on lines and things I'm not very impressed. I will use it up and see how I go but so far it's not won me over I'm still on the hunt for my holy grail.

My skin is showing early signs of ageing so I was pretty keen to try this lower-end retinol product as I have been recommended to try retinol.

It is suggested to ease into retinol use, so week one I only used it twice, week two I switched to every second day, and I am now on to every day use. The use of sunscreen is very important while using a retinol product, so I have switched to a daily moisturiser that contains SPF. I also wear hats outdoors, but have been doing that for a while to protect my face from the sun anyway.

The packaging is beautiful, absolutely love the colour that Olay have chosen to represent their retinol line. Purple definitely gives off a luxurious vibe!

The pump automatically distributes the recommended amount for your face and neck - it's important to not overuse retinol and a very light covering is all you need. I like that I don't have to guess as you would have to with a normal dropper. Simply screwing the lid back on is all you need to do to get the next pump ready.

It claims to minimise fine lines and wrinkles, and I can say after 3 weeks of careful use that yes, my frown lines have lightened and the very beginnings of crows feet have relaxed right back. My makeup is going on smoother, and my skin looks brighter. I am very pleased with this result!

This product is very well priced and is the perfect option for those wanting anti-aging skincare on a budget.

Excited to try and once I figured out how to use it I was off! Lets start with the packaging. Very limited in what it said or even stating the % of Retinol which made me dubious of it's claims. The retinol was far down on the list of ingredients so I knew it was low. No mention of the importanceof sun avoidance either on the box. If I was a customer reading the box instore if deciding to buy I would have returned it to the shelf. The bottle itself looked luxurious, innovative and a lovely item to have on display in your bathroom. I found it hard to understand the instructions on how to open and use but once I mastered it was quite easy. I like how it is very simple to use only the dosage suggested. The product went on very easily, felt smooth, light and non greasy but enough to leave my skin feeling nourished at night. The first morning after application I noticed an instant result. My skin when washing felt really soft and supple. This continued every day and this is my favourite part I love how smooth my skin is feeling. It has a moist glow about it and feels really soft and my makeup is gliding on wonderfully. Have I seen any visible results? Not really. I have noticed some slight dry patches starting to occur around my hairline but not enough to see just feel. I believe this can happen when using retinoids but it wasn't enough for me to worry. I am not sure if I could use around my eyes so I avoided the area. Would I use again? Yes I liked how it makes my skin feel. I really feel the instructions need to be clearer even a little pamphlet inside the box.

I've been using this for a few weeks now - I began with using once every 5 days for about 2 weeks, before gradually building up to daily use.

I've only just begun to really notice the results, four + weeks in, but I have to say they are good! My skin is very, very smooth and radiant and so balanced - there are no oily or dry patches. Fine lines, laughter lines etc look much improved and I do feel I look fresher, if not younger.

I experienced no reactions or retinol sensitivity but I did follow the instructions - and I was religious about SPF, even on overcast days.

I love the Olay packaging, its definitely a brand that has upped it's branding game, it no longer looks old-lady-y.

All up worth a go - just go slow and invest in the 4-5 week period for results.

I was really excited to try this product given it's claim to reduce fine lines and wrinkles in 28 days. However I have been using the serum for over a month now (although I did only use it twice a week to start with rather than daily, to check for reactions) and have not seen any noticeable improvement. To be honest I think my forehead wrinkles may have even got worst (or maybe I'm just looking at them much harder hoping they will disappear)!

The product bottle is a nice shape which is easy to hold and use. I love how the dropper is engineered to engage as you screw the cap on. The dropper makes it easy to disperse small amounts of product across the face. The serum is white with a nice creamy texture and a light pleasant scent. It seems to settle quickly like a liquid-to-powder foundation, leaving the skin feeling very smooth and velvety.

However, come the morning I would find that I had a kind of oil slick across my forehead. I have oily skin and have had similar experiences with other serums so I wasn't super surprised by this. What was unpleasant though was inadvertently rubbing my eyes in the morning and them stinging presumably because I was getting product in them. I found that I had to wash my face almost immediately every morning to avoid my eyes getting agitated. This makes it seem like the product isn't absorbing properly and maybe that's why I'm not seeing the results I expect?

On a more positive note - I have sensitive skin and haven't had any kind of skin reaction which is great. I did notice that my skin appears brighter and more radiant so that claim does stick. Maybe if I had dryer skin the dewy look would be more appealing, but in reality I was hoping for this product to reduce my forehead wrinkles and it hasn't delivered on that so far. I will keep using the serum until the bottle is finished, then consider whether it's worth investing in more if I can see a noticeable difference by then. Fingers crossed!

I usually hate any types of facial moisturizers or serums as they tend to make my skin oily or leave some sort of residue that doesn't feel right, so I was pleasantly surprised by this serum. You can immediately feel the smoothness of the product as you apply it and sinks right into your skin. Didnt make my skin feeI oily in any way. I was worried that my skin would not react well to the retinol as I consider my skin go be pretty sensitive but after doing a patch test and trying a few days per week. I didn't have any sort of reaction to it and eased into 5 nights a week of using it. My skin feels smooth and I've noticed my pores have reduced quite a bit since I started use. I would definitely use this product again.
