I really liked this cream - once I got passed the first week. It's very rich, it's very thick. Some may say its heavy.
My skin is usually very clear, slightly dry, but mostly just normal, ageing skin. I experienced minor breakouts and whiteheads during the first week. They cleared quickly, but none the less, there was a purge.
I persevered because I take trial teams very seriously and I'm glad I did, it's actually a really great cream. In summer I'll likely switch to using it as a night cream only as it is incredibly rich, but I think if you have dehydrated skin or are prone to dry patches you'll really find this beneficial.
I wish brands would stop with the pottle use, but to be fair this is a thick product, a pump wouldn't work. A tube maybe? Anything to stop the ole 'fingers in the pot' problem.
Will I look 10 years younger in 4 weeks? Hmmmm, well if not looking lizardy and dry is the same as 10 years younger; then yes, yes I will!
*First of all I should mention Olay recommends using this product for 28 days to see full results, and this review is due before that time period so effects may vary.
The packaging of this product was quite substantial considering the small product within and instructions were brief; use twice a day, for at least a month to see results. I was excited to get trialling and see these results!
The cream itself has a nice, medium-weight consistency but the scent is very overpowering - think cheap sunscreen moisturiser smell - which I found a little off-putting. I prefer lighter, and more natural scents to this one (after a little more research I discovered they do actually sell un unfragranced one which I would be tempted to try).
I applied the cream in the upwards circle motions as described in the instructions, to my combination skin, morning and night. The first time I used it my skin felt a little bit warm and zingy. I applied my SPF on top and my skin did feel smooth, moisturised, not too greasy and felt hydrated for a good chunk of the day. A little bit of product goes a long way so although the container is on the small side, it should last long enough to see if the claims are true.
Tips: If you have sensitive skin, maybe start by using this once a day instead of twice.
