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.
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.
