A good product

When I first read the write up on this product I was very curious to see if it worked as well as the reports! I have enjoyed trialing the moisturiser as it provides a really lovely luminous glow during the day, as well as a "not too heavy" richness over night. I like that it is not too thick, and is almost more like a water gel than a cream. It has no overpowering smell or texture. My skin feels great after using this, morning or night. I would purchase this again, as a lovely brightening moisturiser.

The only thing I will note...I feel like after 8 weeks I am only just now seeing results and they are not as drastic as I expected. I feel like I have had better results with another, higher end product. however, I do wonder if once I get to the end of the tub, there is even more results, and perhaps then it would match the lightening claims.

Tips: Use with the serum for a real pop to the skin!

Bliss in a jar

This is a delight to put on, there is a nice scent, not over powering, but with a hint of something. The jar looks flash, and when putting the moisturiser on, you don't need to use a lot. It makes my face feel soft and light. It is a joy to put on.

Ok moisturiser

I love trying new products so I was excited when this arrived. While the scent and consistency of this moisturiser was nice I found it really didn't do much for my skin. I didn't notice much difference at all after 4 weeks and feel some of the other Olay products are definitely a better buy. My skin did feel nice after applying just doesn't look too much different after 4 weeks.

A glowing review!

The style of this packaging is quite common I think, a tub. The silver lid looked sleek, and it was easy to open and get out product. While some other packaging my be cleaner or easier to use, I like how you can get every last drop of product with this style of packaging.

The consistency was almost a gel like moisturizer and I was impressed with how moisturizing it was.

The gel has a shimmer to it, and after applying the matching serum and then this product, I definitely feel like I look glowy.

My face isn’t shiny and it is lovely as is, but I was most impressed with my skin under make up. After a month of use I had friends asking me if I had a new foundation and that it looked great. I was really stoked with this because the skincare was the only thing I had changed in my routine.

I think my skin tone has improved, I still have freckles and all the normal stuff I had before, but I feel like the tone of my skin has just evened out behind all of this.

I feel like you get a lot of product for the price. I felt like I didn’t need to use a tonne of product, and it spread out really well. I’ve used it for six weeks straight and feel like I’ve barely made a dent in the tub.

I’ve been really pleasantly surprised with this product. I wouldn’t have brought this product or brand normally and I have really enjoyed it. It’s a great product, sits nicely on the skin and I would buy it again. I have loved the combo of this product and the serum, it’s really great.

Tips: I always put on a bit too much moisturizer and use the leftovers on my hands. I may be dreaming but I think my hands are looking more even too!

Love this - just not for hyperpigmentation

First off, I really dislike like the Olay jars! Not only because a jar is unhygienic and exposes the cream to oxygen every time you open it and stick your fingers in, but also because these ones have that super-irritating plastic inner lid that seems to vacuum-stick itself on, with only an impossibly tiny handle to help you pry it off. I don’t want to chuck it out, because it’s making the jar more airtight, but it’s a real pain. And the main lid, while pretty, is slippery to get back on when you’ve got creamy fingers.

Right, that’s my little rant about the packaging. The cream itself? Dreamy. The scent is light, faintly fruity but warm, and doesn’t linger long. A pleasurable sensory experience first thing in the morning. The texture is robust but feels quite liquid as you’re applying it, so it glides on beautifully and feels hydrating and soothing on contact. It does absorb, but not completely, which in this case I really like. I hate any sort of sticky, greasy, oily feel on my skin, but this just leaves a comfortable, softly dewy finish. Beautiful. Also, my skin can be sensitive, and I was interested to see how I did with using AHAs for the first time, but there wasn’t the slightest hint of stinging or reactivity. Just pure comfort.

In terms of longer-term benefits... I’ve been using the cream (along with the matching serum) morning and night religiously for six weeks, and my hyperpigmentation hasn’t faded, so I've had to give the cream 4/5 for 'does what it says'. BUT I’ve loved all the other benefits. My skin is dry and ageing, but it’s felt comforted, moisturised, plumped and, yes, dewy. And that lasts all day long. My skin looks and feels as good at the end of the day as it did when I first applied the cream in the morning.

I wish it came in different packaging, but for dry skin that’s a bit dull and lined and even sensitive, this cream is divine and I’d highly recommend trying it.

Tips: A little really does go a very long way with this one. And it's magic as a night cream for morning skin that's bouncy and dewy. A great way to start the day :)

Heavy Moisturiser

I was looking forward to trying this product as I use Olay moisturizer and have combination skin. This product appealed to everything I was looking for! Both the moisturizer and the serum look great, far more modern than my old Olay moisturizer and smells very good. I don’t typically use fragranced products, and while I can’t tell exactly what the smell is it certainly is very pleasant. The cream absorbs well over the serum when used in conjunction. It’s a fairly thick cream I thought though you do only need a little bit. I have been using this product for 6 weeks to really give it a chance to see if there’s some improvements but I couldn’t really see anything discernable in terms of improvement. After using it for over a week I did notice that I had a breakout that was more than anything I would usually get and I can only attribute it to this new product, so it didn’t really do what I was hoping it would. My skin was hydrated but not any better than regular Olay moisturizer. It’s a lot to put on one’s skin, twice daily, particularly with the adding an SPF product during the day. The one thing to be careful of is that because of the AHA it can increase your skin’s sensitivity to sun and increase the risk of sunburn. I personally prefer to use just a moisturizer with built in SPF and find this to be enough for me.

Tips: Use with sun protection and don't use if you spend a lot of time in the sun

Excited to see more results!

As a background to my skin type, I have combination skin that is typically oily on my nose/chin and normal elsewhere. I’m prone to the occasional breakout on my chin. I turn 30 this year and due to this I'm starting to think about using products that will address any early signs of aging.

My first impression of the product was that I really liked the packaging. It's a heavy feeling white plastic pot with a silver lid that certainly looks a bit fancier than the actual cost of the product.

My next thought was that the smell is really nice. It wasn't too overpowering for me and didn't linger on my skin once absorbed. It has a sweet/fresh scent.

This product contains an AHA, being lactic acid. If you're unfamiliar, alpha-hydroxy acids (or AHAs) work to exfoliate and dissolve the top layer of dry, dull skin to hopefully reveal fresher, brighter and smoother skin underneath. Due to the nature of AHAs, I wasn't surprised that my skin tingled after using this product the first couple of times. After a few days of use, I could tell that the top layer of my skin was beginning to exfoliate off.

I haven't experienced any itchiness or dryness from using this product. I also haven't had any breakouts while using this product. The product itself feels creamy yet not too heavy. The product absorbed easily into my skin and after use my skin felt hydrated, but not oily. The texture of my skin has certainly improved since using this product. It feels smooth and looks glowy.

Overall, I've enjoyed using this product and I can see potential in continuing to use it. I think I need to use it for a few more weeks to experience the full results that Olay states can be achieved when using this product.

Tips: SUPER IMPORTANT - When using AHAs, your ‘natural’ sun protection will be diminished - Make sure to apply a SPF during the day when using this product.

So luxuriant

Thanks BR Babes for another awesome trial.

I have been using this moisturiser for the past 6 weeks along with the serum. I have some sunspots and uneven skin texture so would really excited to see how this worked for me.

The moisturiser is in the standard Olay pots - the only gripe I have with this is the lid is IMPOSSIBLE to get off for the first use. It was suctioned on and the little notch to hold on too was too small to grip to remove it, so I had to resort to a knife. Once off though, it became easier to remove each time.

The moisturiser is really luxuriant and feels really lush, but absorbs really quickly and doesn't leave a greasy feeling behind so I absolutely love it. Over the past 6 weeks my sunspots have definitely faded and my skins feels really nourished so I am definitely sold on this range.

Tips: If the lid wont budge, a knife works perfectly.

Nourishing moisturiser

This moisturiser is great during the cooler months, it provides just the right amount of hydration without feeling too heavy. Prefer to use this in the evening as it didn’t quite sit well under makeup. But overall a great product from a trusted brand, give it a go!

A treat for my skin.

After reading the reviews I decided to use my points a try this moisturiser. I have always liked Olay in the past and this did not disappoint.I have dry skin and a few light marks here and there and it did definitely make my skin look smoother and clearer so a big plus for me.The moisturiser just absorbs into my skin with not greasiness and my skin feels so good and soft. A nice product to use so I would recommend to my friends and family.

Tips: Careful in sun -make sure you use SPF50 as advised on product you are more susceptible to sunburn using this product.
