Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Night Moisturiser

My first impression was that the packaging was nice and sleek, and very full. I really liked that when I undid the seal, there was no smell that came flying out of the container. I tested the product on my hand and it felt very smoothing. It is much like most night creams, nice and thick.

When I first put the product on my face it reminded me of putting on a primer, it was very smoothing. It also didn't feel greasy like some night creams can. The first couple of times I tried the product I noticed my skin felt soft in the morning, but nothing too out of the ordinary. It was after a couple of weeks that I noticed how bright/fresh my skin was looking without make up. My cheeks felt quite plump, and make make up looked very smooth on my skin. I also really liked that I woke up and could touch my face and it felt like skin, rather than oily. For such a moisturizing product, it was really light on the skin.

I started to use it closer to my eye area when I realised there was no scent. I still have a dedicated eye cream that I prefer, but I found it felt very nice around my eyebrows and temples.

Given the retinol content it is a product you have to build up your tolerance to before it becomes your every day holy grail, but I will definitely keep using this in the future.

I loved the packaging / container / bottle this product came in - very stylish and sleet with its gold and purple. The smell is pleasant and actually I barely noticed it. The product was luxurious and easy to apply. Didn't need much to cover my face and I felt that it immediately made my skin feel soft and hydrated. After the first application I barely felt any tingling so I must admit that I continued to use it the following night and continued every night after. It absorbed quickly however it did leave a slight amount of product on the skin, similar to an oil based product but this didn't bother me. After using my usual hydration products in the morning it felt like my skin was extra hydrated and felt great. I would say it definitely made my skin more hydrated, and dare I say maybe the fine lines are a little less noticeable and my skin smoother however I have only been using this product not quite 3 weeks. I find the price reasonable for this product and I feel it will last a fair while .

As a frequent retinol user I jumped at the chance at trialling a new brand. Currently I use a Beauty salon only product, which I do love, but was keen to give the Olay Retinol 24 a go (it retails at 50% of the price of my usual ) I tentatively used every two days at the beginning for about a week and I had no irritation so then went on to everyday use as recommended. At the moment it helps that I seem to be having a ‘good skin’ month or is it something to do with the Olay product? My skin is definitely brighter, I don’t have any of the seasonal dry skin around my nose from allergies and I feel like my under eye area is totally smoother. The packaging is really inoffensive and looks nice amongst my other products, the plastic top that sits on top of the product was a little hard to get off so after a few uses I recycled it and just left the screw top on. The product itself is a mid weight texture, totally scent free. I found a little bit went a long way. It is ultra hydrating so I could get away with no extra moisturiser or night cream but chose to double up, I didn’t wake up greasy faced in the morning, but I definitely had a moisturised sheen. I’ve also found that it didn’t clog my pores at all, as an acne sufferer this is a major major pro! I did feel that my hands felt a little sticky after applying, but I loved the final effect of the product so much that I didn’t mind that too much.

Overall I would definitely reconsider this product. My skin is so much smoother and hydrated, it’s a big yes from me!

I have been using the Olay Regenerist Retinol Night 24 Moisturiser for three weeks now, and I must say that I am impressed! This moisturiser boasts a quick absorbing formula that penetrates deep into the skin's layers, and I can definitely say that this is correct!

The moisturiser comes in a lovely, luxurious looking blue tub with a screw on cap. It is lightweight, easy to apply and sinks in rapidly without leaving much of a scent. It gives a very smooth, matte-look finish which I love. The only thing I would note is that this is a much lighter moisturiser than most night creams so is perfect for summer but might not be able to provide all the hydration your skin needs over winter.

I occasionally suffer from the odd spot, but did find that after one week of using this I had a bit of a breakout. It was nothing too major and went away quickly so I believe that my skin was purging due to the retinol. However, since those breakouts cleared my skin has been looking smooth, plump and I definitely think my texture and skin tone is starting to even out.

I haven't been using this cream long enough to see any significant changes to my fine lines, but I am so far very pleased with the results! The experience of using this moisturiser is so pleasant that I will definitely be finishing it and am eager to see further skin improvement with prolonged use. Who knows, this may be my next holy grail!

This product was my first retinol based product. I wanted to take it easy and I heard this was an effective product for first time users of retinol. It was a really soft thick cream that was great used as a night cream. I had no irritation and my skin would always feel so soft in the morning. Would recommend for beginners to retinol. I need something stronger now.

I have often-reactive skin that's also very dry, and this is a lovely night cream for me. (I already have retinol in my weekly routine, but other ingredients can easily trigger my sensitivity, and this cream doesn't cause me any issues at all.) The texture is really beautiful - it's rich and hydrating but with no oily, fatty sort of feel to it. It melts into my skin but leaves a satin-like finish that feels moisturising and comfortable. I apply it over a serum (also Olay, btw!) and wake up with calm, comfortable, hydrated skin. Love it.

Long-term, I think it's supporting and nourishing my skin. I'm not sure that it's noticeably smoothed out my wrinkles or faded my sun damage, but my skin does look happier and healthier and maybe even a little plumped with on-going use. That's a pretty great outcome from a cream, imho.

What I don't love is the jar. I know it's an iconic Olay thing, but I'd give it a whole extra star if it was in an hygienic and ingredient-protecting pump bottle.

Overall though, for me this is a lovely product packed with proven ingredients for improving skin texture, hydration and appearance - and without nasties like fragrance to mess with sensitive skin types. I'll happily buy it again and have already recommended it to someone.

This product had a very lovely smell. It resembles greek or probiotic yogurt. Sound odd but very lovely. The texture was not too thick and I found the first use it sat on the skin a bit but subsequent uses I noticed it was absorbing into the skin nicely. It didnt leave behind any uncomfortable films after the first use and was overall a pleasant experience. I used this products for two weeks straight so I would definitely say that is not enough time for a fully in depth review however I did notice a few changed in my skin. The texture felt slightly more refined and there was a noticeable difference in plumpness especially around the eye are where there was thinner skin. I was unable to notice changes in skin pigmentation however it was only two weeks and who knows what changes there would have been in a 3 month period. This is not a bad product to use if you cant afford or have access to a clinical grade retinol.

This moisturiser, had a nice texture, and no smell. The way it goes on is nice, not greasy or oily, I didn't notice a big difference to my skin over the course of using it, but it was a nice hydrating moisturiser. I will continue to use it, as it didn't give me breakouts which I often have with moisturisers. I like the packaging and the container it comes in. works well with a serum too! Love Olay have used since I was teenager and would definitely buy this again.

I really enjoyed reviewing this product. It's a very pretty container and I really like the colours. It was super hard to open the seal inside. If you don't have any nails it is a bit tricky. The product itself has a pleasant smell and not too thick on your face. I used this only three times because if you use it too much you can get a reaction. The first time it caused my skin to break out a bit but that is to be expected when using a new product. The next time was great and my skin felt softer and glowing. This product isn't for the faint hearted, you have to be prepared to have a proper routine and use sunscreen with it as well. I would definitely recommend for anyone who wants to change up their routine and give something new a try. If kept up this is definitely the product for you. Remember that consistency is key!

I'm a big fan of Olay. The products are affordable, look good in the bathroom cabinet, do the job, and you can pick them up at the supermarket. What's not to love? So I was thrilled when I was offered the chance to trial Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Night Moisturiser - thanks BR! If you haven't tried retinol before, you may be a little wary - there are a few horror stories out there! Even if you're a retinol pro you still have to be careful - you never know exactly how your skin is going to react to a particular formulation, or how much active ingredient is in the product. With this in mind, I went slowly, applying a thin layer after my nighttime cleansing and toning routine, and switching out to my usual moisturiser for the next couple of nights before going back to the Olay again. After about a week I was using it every second night, and on the third week, every night without any problems at all. I wouldn't say I'm now waking up every morning looking like a supermodel, but then again, I'm not looking like a complete raisin either. Olay Regenerist Retinol keeps my skin supple and hydrated, with the added benefit of a touch of retinol, which is all I really need. Two things I don't love: the pot (not a big fan of sticking my fingers into my product, I like hygienic dispensers), and the ultra-smooth after-feel of the product on my skin. It feels almost like a silicone-based primer - but hey, if you like that kind of thing, you'll love this. On the whole, I really like this product! If you're a fine-line newbie looking for an easy way to start your retinol journey, this product fits the bill.
