Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum

I am new user of retinol and this serum is my second product so I can't compare with other products but here is my experience. The serum comes in gorgeous, lush looking purple dropper bottle which isn't transparent. Minus for me as I love to see how much product is left to use. I don't find it easy to use and I actually would love it to be simple pump bottle instead. Because the texture is a bit thicker, a lot of serum is being left in the pipette. The texture is milky and lightweight, a bit thick. I don't feel any scent. It is easy to apply, feels silky on the skin and absorbs well. It is recommended to use pea size amount but for me it isn't enough. I love that it has added Niacinamide which is always soothing for my dry skin. I think this serum makes my skin smoother and helps with skin tone. I haven't seen any visible improvement with fine lines so think the brand's claim it'll transform skin in 28 days, is a too bold. Anyway I know you need patience with retinol to see visible changes. I didn't have irritation so far. I overall like the product but it is not something I'd repurchase.

I was lucky enough to participate in the Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum trial. Thank you BR.

The boxed packaging is simple with brief directions and a caution on the box. I wasn't wowed by the by the opaque, glass bottle holding the Retinol or the silver coloured plastic screw top with a plastic dropper for dispensing. I have used an automated dispenser before and found Olay's clunky to use. It was not a seamless action in comparison.

12 hours before use I did a patch test on my jawline. Then applied over my face (avoiding contact with eyes!). My skin did not and has not reacted.

The first week I used twice a week and have increased usage from there. After removing my make up and cleansing, I apply Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum evenly over my face. When you unscrew the cap it automatically draws up the product into the dropper in preparation for dispensing.

Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum is fragrant (and nasties) free. It is milky in colour, ultra light weight and absorbs quickly into my skin. A little product does go a long way.

After applying Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum my skin is definitely smoother in texture and very hydrated. I was pleasantly surprised my skin was just as smooth and hydrated when I wake in the morning. It is too soon to honestly say I noticed a difference with fine lines. I look forward to in another few weeks time to see if there is a noticeable difference.

It is recommended to wear an SPF on your face, in the morning after using Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum. I use SPF in both my face moisturiser and foundation.

I was so excited to be selected for this trial. I already used retinol prior to this product so it was great being able to compare the two. I'll get the bad news out of the way first. I did not see any noticeable improvement in my fine lines and wrinkles. However, I wasn't expecting a miracle and I genuinely believe only injectables will achieve that. My attitude towards skincare such as retinol is that it will be beneficial in the long term and that my skin will look better in 10 years time than if I hadn't used this product. So although I've yet to see an improvement in my wrinkles, I have still rated it quite highly for a few reasons. Firstly, the texture of it is far better than the brand I was already using (The Ordinary). It didn't feel oily at all and absorbed quickly but left my skin feeling well moisturised in the process. Secondly, my skin didn't have any bad reaction like it did with the first brand I tried. This could be because my skin was already used to retinol, or it could be that the formation is gentler. I'm looking forward to reading other reviews and seeing if it was kind to everyone else's skin too. Thirdly, I thought the way it dispenses was pretty cool, although I didn't think it dispensed quite enough to cover my whole face. Last of all, I do feel that it gave my skin an overall healthier and more refreshed look so it must be doing something. I'm looking forward to seeing if continued use will improve my lines at all.

I've been using this for the last few weeks and it is good! It's very light and non greasy. I've been using it for a few weeks now and I have noticed that my skin is looking clearer/brighter and it is feeling more supple. I'm also enjoying the fact that there is no added fragrance to this formula and it smells clean.

This serum has been a pleasure to use. For a product that treats so deeply overnight it is surprisingly light. Non greasy and fragrance free as well, it makes you feel like you are doing only good things for your skin. Although I think you need to use this serum for much longer than 30 days to see a noticiable change in wrinkles, it did within a few weeks make my skin look and feel brighter, smoother and more hydrated.

The product is bottled in a pretty pale purple bottle with a clever silver lid that, if you remember to shut the lid properly, draws up the perfect amount of product for your face when you re-open. I love that the bottle is made from glass which keeps the serum cool so its refreshing to apply after a shower at night. What I loved about this serum was after you put it on it didn't cause any tight feeling or 'squeakiness ' to the skin like some others I have tried. I didn't feel I needed to follow this up with a night creme. The serum itself is fragrance free, as stated, and when dispensed produces a ten bit piece of liquid that is adequate for your entire face, I did find I need an extra amount to include my neck in the treatment. It disappears into the skin almost instantly so if you wanted to follow with a night creme there's no need to wait. I have found that the serum has rid me of a few drier patches I had around on my face and has improved the overall texture of my skin. It now feels softer and smoother. I'm not so sure it's erased any fine lines but it's taken me years to get those so after a month of using one product that's asking a lot. I'm looking forward to continuing to use this product till I reach the end of the bottle and seeing what other results I get. I think this is a great product that takes mere second to use but does produce lovely soft smooth skin.

I’ve been using this product most nights for a few weeks now as part of the trial team. I must admit that I was hesitant at first, as it was suggested to do a patch test first and watch for any reactions - but the serum is actually a real dream to use, I had zero negative reaction, and I’ve got to say that I’m genuinely pleased with the results. It is labelled fragrance free, which it is and which I really like. I think often this type of product, even one that claims to be fragrance free, can smell chemically, so a thumbs up from me. It goes on easily, and is very light and quickly absorbed, my skin felt good afterwards. Does it work? I think for the most part it probably does. I think committing to the product regularly over the time I’ve had it has seen my skin look better, a little plumper and the tone is definitely a little more even. There is plenty left in the bottle, and when it runs out I’m intending to re-stock.

So it took me a couple of tries to work out how to open the bottle (I was tired that day I think), but once you do work it out, it works really well. The pump dispenses exactly the right amount of serum to do face and neck, so no wastage. The serum itself is quite thin, and it goes on smoothly and absorbs in not time at all so you can add a night cream and not feel like your skin is getting overdosed. The serum is unfraganced, and my skin didn't have any reactions to it (other than looking brighter and plumper). I will definitely keep using this one.

Nice enough serum, but the dropper does not release what it has sucked up. The bottle seems half full so it’s not going to last long .

The first time I pout this on I couldn't stop touching my face, it was SO soft. I have an 11 week old and I feel in these 11 weeks I've ages at least 10 years so was super excited to try this. To be fair it's too soon to see if my wrinkles have decreased BUT I have noticed my skin is more bright (considering I'm running on empty) and my bags definatly have reduced. I'm excited to see some long term results.
