Olay's Regenerist Whip comes in a stylish red jar that would be great to slip into your handbag. The moisturiser was easy to apply and it felt light and fluffy. The first time I applied this to my face, I made the mistake of spreading it over my eyelids. This resulted in sore, streaming eyes for an hour or so (it does say on the packaging to avoid contact with eyes). Lesson learned!
Unlike other sunscreens, this cream was absorbed quickly and left my face with a lovely matte finish, with no shine or residue whatsoever. In summer, I think it would need to be reapplied throughout the day to provide adequate protection, however, during the rest of the year one-morning application would suffice (if you don't burn easily).
I really loved the feel of this cream on my skin and liked the extra SPF protection it offered. I will definitely be purchasing this again.
I've been meaning to add sunscreen into my daily facial routine, and this product is perfect for that. It has good coverage and sets really well without leaving a greasy residue. This product absolutely delivers on the plumping and glowing aspect. Out of all the moisturizers I've tried, this has made my face look the healthiest and most radiant of them all, so much so, I've been skipping foundations, powders ect. because I've been loving how it's making my skin look on it's own. In terms of hydration, it's fairly good. The first day I tried it, it kept my skin hydrated all day and night. However, when dealing with all day mask wearing, it didn't stand up so well, and my face became super dry, and the product would irritate the skin for a minute when applying, especially around the eyes. The only thing that I didn't like about this product is the little interior lid. The handle is so small it's difficult to lift with short nails, and it picks up a lot of product on the edges, which makes the exterior lid a bit messy. I've just left it loose in the ext. lid and it's been a lot better. Overall, a fantastic product that I'm going to look forward to using all summer.
Tips: Use another moisturizer around the eyes to avoid irritation, especially during hay fever season, as this product can make dry eyes water more. Also keep WELL away from your lips, otherwise you'll have a bad taste in your mouth for hours.
