Olay Niacinamide + AHA Moisturiser

I love the colour scheme of the container, it is a traditional pottle and cover scenario- that I always struggle to remove so that goes straight in the bin. I didn’t love the smell of it- sort of had a bit of an old smell. The texture of the moisturiser is nice and it rubs in and soaks in well. I liked how I could feel it working it was a little tingly to begin with. I think it definitely made a difference to my skin and would definitely recommend despite the slightly odd smell. I think that the price point is about right and like how it’s easily available not in specialist stores

The market is flooded with new creams making promises but I feel this moisteriser really delivers I was pleasantly surprised. This is very light weight and non greasy cream which left my skin feeling brighter due to the vitamin C ingredient. It works well with other brands also.

This moisturizer was a pleasant surprise! While I don't feel that my skin is overly plump or moisture rich, my skin does feel very smooth and I can notice the improvement in evening my skin tone.

In terms of the packaging, it comes in a screw top jar, which isn't my preference in terms of convenience and hygiene. The smell isn't overly strong, and is almost botanical-like but with a clean smell too. It's on the thicker side in texture, but I found it melts nicely into the skin - so can be used morning or night comfortably. I have some faded redness on my cheeks in particular from old blemishes that hadn't seemed to improve, despite not experiencing blemishes as often. I noticed this area has improved, and my skin tone is becoming more even, as well as the texture feeling super smooth. I will continue to use it and see how much improvement I can get.

The only downside is, I don't think it helps with drier skin, so I would still want to supplement with something purely to add moisture to my skin.

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.

I have used the Olay Niacinamide + AHA Moisturiser (in combination with Olay Niacinamide + AHA Serum) on a daily basis for a number of weeks now.

I found this moisturiser to be thick and creamy and had a great aroma (similar to Olay Niacinamide + AHA Serum).

This moisturiser absorbed well into my skin, leaving it feeling soft and refreshed.

I do believe my face was brighter, but am not sure that the stubborn spots were reduced (maybe this was happen soon!)

I have a slightly oily face, this moisturiser worked well with my skin and did not clog my pores.

Unfortunately the moisturiser didn't contain sunblock, so that was another cream I had to apply.

I’m so glad I’ve finally found a moisturiser with multi benefits! Moisturising, and with Niacinamide. I use this after using the Olay Niacinamide serum, and I have noticed amazing results in my skin. It is more clear, smooth, and I haven’t had breakouts since using this. I have had compliments on my skin since using this!

One thing I would say is that it is quite a light moisturiser that absorbs quick, and not heavy.

I really enjoyed this moisturiser from Olay. It was a nice consistency - not too thick, and while I don't feel as though I have been using it long enough to see any visible results in discoloration, my skin has been smoother and I've had fewer issues with texture. Given the results so far, I'm keen to keep using this one and see what the longer-term results are!

I love the shape of the jar that this moisturizer comes in, very practical shape with a stunning twister glass look - however was a little bit disappointed there was no spatula. The consistency of the moisturizer would be close to a gel than a thick cream. It absorbs easily into my skin, leaving a slight feeling of dampness which soon sinks in as I carry on with my bathroom routines. The smell is quite a sweet, fruity smell, which doesn't stick around - which is fantastic because lingering scents can give me a headache after a while. I used this moisturizer with its serum and they work very well together as they absorbed quickly and didn't turn into a gooey mess.

I was skeptical at first when the package said it would reduce acne and discoloration, but here we are, 5 weeks on and my skin tone is very nice and smooth. This moisturizer cleared up my skin from any breakouts within a few days of them happening. My skin doesn't feel smoother, but it looks smoother and more consistent. I can't wait to see how my skin is doing after 8 weeks.

I only used a very small amount (20c piece sized amount), twice a day over the last 5 weeks and I still have over half the jar to go. I would say that this product is good value for money. It has made my skin feel wonderful and the discoloration I used to have appears to be gone and the jar seems like it will last me a good 2- 3 months.

This moisturizer comes in a metallic box with easy directions and good information. It comes in a cute jar with a twist top lid. I prefer these over pumps as you can use it all. The moisturizer has a slight fruity fragrance and isn't super thick. It has an almost silky texture. It absorbs quickly into my skin and isn't greasy. I used this in conjunction with the serum and did find over the first couple of weeks my skin was flakey and was ready for more moisturizer by the time I got home. The flakeyness has now gone and my skin is soft and all dry patches that I had have gone. Aside from no more dry patches, my skin feels slightly smoother and maybe a little brighter. I haven't noticed as much change as I had hoped. I would recommend this for the hydration and slightly smoother skin and Will use again.

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!
