Olay Regenerist Whip UV SPF 30

Was excited to give Olay a test run.. it comes in a pot, which i think a bottle with a pump would be better for all sorts of reasons. but a big pot is value for money.

It said it was a whip.. but i don"t know what that means as i thought the consistency would be more whippy. but was just a normal cream.

Love how it is a 30 spf so that is a defiant bonus

It was a quick absorbing cream, i didn't find it spread easily.. but that might be personal experience.. i also didn't find it to be too moisturising.. but i defiantly think it is a great option for before your make up as a base. and with a oil on top

Sometimes you need to use the product for longer to see the real benefits

Thanks again for letting me try

I was excited to try this one. I love a mosturiser with a decent SPF and this sounded so promising. The jar is a beautiful red with a swirly pattern inside to give that Ice cream whip effect and would look great on many a shelf. The texture is heavenly. Light, creamy and not at all greasy or oily which SPF moisturisers often are. My skin felt hydrated and had a lovely shine free finish. This is unfortunately where the good times ended for me. The fragrance seems delicate at first sniff, but once applied to the face it is all you can smell for a good half hour following. DO NOT get this anywhere near your eyes, or into any scratches on your face it will sting and it will sting bad. I have had a couple of small breakouts since using it, this and the stinging I put down to the fragrance. If they made an unscented version I would definitely be keen to give it another go as I feel they are on the right track to a winner.

The packaging lives up to most premium skincare products in terms of quality. I did struggle to get into the pot initially because it had been slightly damaged in transit, but once I was in it was fine.

The first thing I noticed was the smell. It's very strong. I normally prefer less perfumed lotions so this was one thing that initially put me off. It's not that it smells bad - far from it. It's just very potent.

The cream/whip itself is pretty thick. But having said that it is absorbed quickly (or maybe that's just my skin in need of hydration!). It doesn't go as far as other creams I've used/tried but it's not like you're emptying half the pot for one application. It goes on smoothly and doesn't leave any trail.

My skin definitely looked and felt good using this consistently. I have a pretty basic skincare routine and don't get as much sleep as I should so my skin often suffers. Trialling this cream made me much more dilligent about applying it in the early morning (I get up around 5 most days).

I didn't have any oily bouts while using this product, but I did get dry from time-to-time. I put this down to having to wear a mask all day now though.

If it wasn't for the small I'm sure I'd love this product!

The consistency of the product is very thick almost too thick for my liking I felt like I needed to use a lot more product to cover my face than usual. Application was easy but I needed to work it into my face in sections for even application. The fragrance of the product was so strong it smelt like supermarket shampoo I'm more into using product with no fragrance due to my sensitive skin. Coverage was average as the cream is very thick I needed to use a lot of the product to ensure I had full coverage of my face. I do feel it sits well under makeup and is non greasy. Longevity was a little disappointed as my skin looked dry after using the product once I applied foundation I had patches of dry skin show also wearing this and spf foundation I still ended up with some sun damage to my face within 20 minutes of being out in the sun. Useage is alright there is a lot of cream in the packaging so it can last awhile depending on the user it comes in a 50g package. The price is a little more than I would like to spend for a drug store brand although olay is a well known brand I would rather pay a little more for a top of the line product. The packaging is a bright red with silver lid jar it's is alright to look at removal of the cover was near impossible I needed to use a knife to remove the white cap under the lid. Results within the trial period I did not notice any results from using this product plumper and more radiant skin after the first use? No I did not see this change unfortunately. Would I recommend this product in future? Sorry it wasn't for me I was hoping I would love it and to find a moisturiser that works for my skin type I'm still left with dull looking skin. It's worth giving it ago as everyone has different skin types and it may just work better for you.

Although this product has hyaluronic acid and spf 30, unfortunately for me the fragrance was far too strong and irritated my eyes even when I didn’t apply it near them. It has all the makings of being a great product, it has a texture like mousse and glides on easy and isn’t greasy. I’m sure it would work wonders for others and I would have loved to be able to use it but I just can’t.

I chose the Olay Regenerist Whip UV Cream with SPF 30 in the Beauty Vault because I was looking for an anti-ageing cream and I am also a big fan of wearing sunscreen every day. In my opinion the best way to deal with skin ageing is to reduce UV exposure and avoid causing skin damage in the first place, so I was delighted to find a face cream that had an SPF of 30 at the same time as being able to reduce already existing signs of ageing. The packaging of this cream looks really nice, but unfortunately it is not recyclable. Given the plethora of recyclable plastics, glass etc. available today I think this is a real misstep from Olay. I have been using Olay products for many years, usually just simple moisturising face creams with SPF, and I have always really liked them, however, this is the first time that I have used a “whip” rather than a normal face cream. Sadly, I have to say that I do not particularly like the consistency of the whip, and it also smells a bit “chemical”. I was not using any other products with anti-ageing ingredients while using the Regenerist Cream, and I was eventually using it once per day. The first time I used it, it seemed to be absorbed into the skin at first, but then my skin felt like it was burning a little, and I could not tell if the cream was peeling off again as I kept trying to massage it in, or if indeed some skin was coming off. At this point I was a little worried as my skin had never reacted to any face cream before, and googled the cream to see if Olay had any information on this. While I could not find any information from Olay I found that many reviews of the cream mentioned similar issues, but with no negative outcomes. There did not seem to be any damage to my skin, and I did not want to waste the rest of the cream, so I waited a couple of days and tried again, assuming that my skin would just need to get used to the anti-ageing ingredients in the cream. This time there was less burning and peeling, and after a few days of using the cream every second day, I went to using it every day and I had no more burning sensation. The slight peeling does however still occasionally happen, even now that I have been using the cream for months. I am not sure if this is due to it being a whip rather than a regular cream or caused by the ingredients. Over all, the cream is certainly hydrating, it has the promised matt finish, and I like that it has SPF 30. However, I cannot say that it has caused the advertised “skin appearance transformation”. While I will not buy this product again, I think it may suit other people who like the whip and whose skin might react differently to the ingredients.

I was super excited to give this Olay Whip a go. And I love a moisturiser with a good spf rating! What I wasn't expecting was the fragrance. A lot stronger than any other moisturiser I've used before. It took a few days to get used to the scent. I wouldn't say it was over powering, but for me it was a bit of a turn off. Unfortunately in the first few days of using it, my skin broke out. My face, neck and decolletage. Everywhere I had been applying the moisturiser. I haven't used Olay before, so I put it down to my skin adjusting to an unfamiliar product. I ended up dialing back the amount I was using (I normally use a gel moisturiser) and that made all the difference. I have normal skin (oily forehead occasionally) and I may have just been a bit heavy handed. I ended up using about a pea sized amount and that covered everywhere I needed it to. I absolutely loved the Whipped formula though, it felt so soft and light (once I'd adjusted the amount) on my skin. And surprisingly it did give my skin a matte finish, even after long days. I didn't however notice my skin being 'firmer' after 2weeks as the packaging claimed, which may be down to me using less of the product than others. Would I re-purchase? Maybe, but only if I start to notice more positive results.

On opening the shiny red. Black a d silver box,the silver typed red jar sits between cardboard smartly folded to hold it in place. The red jar has a 'whipped' pattern seen through the red translucent plastic. A beautiful subtle floral scent escapes the red jar on twisting off the silver lid and removing the white plastic seal. Over time this scent becomes more subtle. On application the whip is readily absorbed and does leave a matt, non-sticky finish, as advertised. My skin definitely appeared plum, lifted and glowing with the Hydraulic acid playing its part. The first few days I looked like a freaking Goddess!

Then my skin got thirsty...

I normally use single ingredient/ purpose products so having a number of those in one has been a great change! One of my main skin concerns are breakouts. I use B3 + Zinc to address this. I did find my skin needed an extra boost after 3 days without my usual product, so I used my usual B3 + Zinc every couple of days following. I also found the whip didn't meet my skins moisture needs over the past 2 weeks. By the second week I was using about double the amount of product I used to begin with. I've been using Olay's whip on my entire face and neck. The jar us now about 1/2 full afterc2 weeks of use.

I love that the whip combines a number of products I use daily, in 1 convenient product at an affordable price. Especially the inclusion of SPF and B3.

I'd look to use Olay's whip when traveling for convenience but would look to use my usual products otherwise given the amount of whip I need to meet my skins needs.

First glance, it looks nice. The box is bright red. And it is bigger than expected. But when you open the box, product is a lot smaller. There is a lot of empty space. A lot of people would go for it because they thought it was bigger. Trying the cream, first scoop was ok, but as soon as your fingertips warmed from putting on your face. The next scoop was like melted cream so you had to dig in more. It made my skin soft, the smell was not too over powering. But I didn't notice any plumping of the skin, or any change in wrinkles, but I think it needs more time than 3 weeks to show a difference there. So I will persevere with the rest of it. I would buy again because of how soft it makes your skin

I was excited to try the Olay Regenerist Whip UV SPF 30. Its been quite a few years since I've used a olay product. The packaging is nice, box & jar are recyclable & the the red & silver jar like nice. The inner tab has a little handle to pick off lid, which is handy. The cream is very light- whipped, it has a very light fresh fragrance. It absorbs so easily into my skin with a non greasy finish like alot of other spf moisturizers. I probably used a little more than I would a heavier cream as it absorbs so quickly. My skin has enjoyed this & now wapnt to get the rest of the range to try. Price wise its very affordable. Great on sensitive skin even with 10 hours wearing a mask everyday.
