Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum

A very very annoying bottle!! I love this product but that bottle drove me bananas! The concept of a self loading pump is a good one and it's a very pretty bottle, but the amount of serum that comes out just wasn't enough for me to do my whole face and neck. Fiddling and fluffing about trying to reload the pump to get more serum with one hand is really really difficult.

The serum itself is a good consistency, completely fragrance free and absorbs quickly into your skin. After first use the next morning my skin felt softer and definitely more hydrated , this continued with every following use.

I didn't notice any skin reaction following the first use, starting with every second night and built up to using every night.

My lines seem a little finer having used this for a few weeks, and the neck wrinkles are actually reduced!

I'll definitely be restocking when the bottle is empty although maybe I'll decant into one with a decent pump!

The product comes in an attractive easy to use dispensing bottle and it dispenses enough for a good application. I loved that the product was scent free and that would definitely be high on my list of reasons to buy again as it is difficult to find products that don’t overwhelm in the scent department.

I went slowly and cautiously as advised since I have never used retinol before but I had zero issues even though I can have temperamental skin. I made sure I used sunscreen the next day as advised and this helped form a habit I should have anyway lol

Did it do what it said - I think with longer use it will. I know my skin feels amazing when I use it - I only have fine lines so there wouldn’t hopefully be a huge difference but I do think my skin felt more resilient than it has.

This isn’t a quick fix but I would rather slow and steady as there is no magic formula for aging ….. without Botox lol definitely give it a try

This is a great designed lid, pump the top and you get exactly the right amount to apply for your face. I tried this over a three week period, taking extra days between applications for the first week. I did not have any reaction, so then used it every night. I can see a slight difference, but early days, so will continue to use this from now on. This is fragrance free which I really like on a night product. It goes on nicely, and no streaks, or leftover product on your hands after. My face feels nice and silky, not sticky after applying.

It had been a while for me to try the Retinol products because all I can remember from last encounter was "Dryness" and "stingy sensation" - this product has changed my mind completely. Olay facial serum was truly mild and hydrates. I also loved the fragrance-free element of this and the fact that the serum has the automated dosage control too - so that I don't under/over use the product. I felt like my pores got shorter, from 0 shape to o shape - but did not notice significant difference in some fine wrinkle areas that I was keeping on eye on. It did keep my face smooth and hydrated for the evening, but not sure if it continued the next day.

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.

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.

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.

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.
