While I like the look of the shiny packaging of the Olay Regenerist Antioxidant Serum, I was really disappointed when I opened the box and found the serum bottle was only filling part of the box. It’s not that I think a larger bottle is needed in general, but I think the packaging is misleading, and produces unnecessary waste. The information and instructions on the packaging are very clear for how to use the serum itself, however, I was missing information on how the serum is used together with, and works with, the other products in the Regenerist Antioxidant range. I have been using the matching moisturiser at the same time as the serum, and I looked up on the Olay website how those two items were meant to be used together. While I found this information, I did not get a clear idea of why both the serum and the moisturiser should be used at the same time, i.e. what the actual benefit is of using both rather than just one of them. The bottle for the serum is very pretty, and it comes with a dropper to dispense the liquid serum. I have found it quite hard to use the dropper to dispense small amounts, I seem to always get a lot more serum out than I want to. The serum itself has a really nice consistency, and absorbs well into the skin. Given that the serum needs to be used together with SPF in the daytime, it would be really nice if the matching moisturiser came with an SPF. I cannot comment on the effectiveness of the serum alone, as I have been using it together with the Antioxidant moisturiser, but even together I have not noticed any changes to my skin that I would describe as younger looking as promised by the products. While I have been a long time user of Olay products, and I have always really liked their moisturisers, so far I am not a fan of their anti-ageing products. I would not buy this again

Reviews
I really liked the dropper system on this bottle. ¼ turn and the button pops up to draw the serum into the dropper, full turn and it is free for you to apply. The bottle itself seemed overly large for its contents volume (30ml) but they maybe to allow for the schmancy dropper. The serum was nice to apply, I used 4 drops for face, neck and décolletage and felt I could’ve used a touch less and still get good coverage. It soaked in quickly and left the skin feeling mildly hydrated and ready for moisturizer. It was not at all oily. I was occasionally comboing this with a Rosehip oil at night for extra hydration. I used this in coordination with the matching Olay Anitoxidant Moisturiser for approx. 3.5weeks. I did not see any change in fine lines in that time, but my face is smooth and soft. More than before? Hard to say, but it at the very least did not have a negative impact. I may purchase this product again if it were on sale, but I think for the price, there are better products available.
This serum is light and non greasy on the skin and has a pleasant fruity fragrance that isn’t too strong and fades fast.
It definitely made my skin feel smoother when I applied it but I didn’t notice any actual difference to my skin.
Tips: Try the moisturiser in this range instead
This serum is boosted with antioxidant vitamins C, E and B3. White in colour and thin in texture, this serum has a fruity scent, which doesn't linger. I have used it now for over two weeks, in the am and the pm.The claims to reveal younger looking skin were not valid for me, but it is a pleasant serum to use. The special lid dispenses just the right amount of serum into the pipette. This was enough for my face, neck and decolletage. I pat it in, and leave for a couple of minutes before I moisturise. Would I purchase? Probably not, I prefer a dedicated Vitamin C serum in the am and a moisture boosting serum in the pm. I would probably recommend this as a beginner serum for someone in their 30's.
Tips: I always pat any excess into the back of my hands.
I have been using this serum morning and night for over 3 weeks now. I like the bright container it comes in as easy to find in the bathroom cabinet. Pump the lid and then remove and place droplet on back of your hand. You don't need very much as a little goes a long way. It has a very faint pleasant smell. Smooth on face and neck, it is quite thick but rubs in very nicely. Sometimes my neck reacts a little and goes a little red, but that disappears quickly. It sometimes feels a little sticky afterwards so I leave it a while before I put on my moisturiser. My face is certainly hydrated and feels smooth. Dont really think my skin looks any younger but it does look smooth and healthy.
Tips: Dont put too much on your face as it only needs a little drop.
This serum smells amazing and absorbed quickly into my skin. I used this along with the moisturiser which also absorbs quickly. I did have a slight improvement in my skin but not a really noticeable one. A nice product.
My skin is smoother and pretty healthy after using this product am/pm for about a month. It’s a nice overall serum with actives like AHA that I love and not too harsh like a glycolic.
First up though I can’t get over the smell - it’s like orange and very similar to their luminous moisturiser and TBH I’m a bit sick of it now and I may not buy this again because of it. Also the lid can be a bit fiddly to open and get the product out and can you tell how much is left? No as the bottle is opaque but I guess this protects the contents.
One drop is enough to spread across your whole face so this is pretty economical even using it twice a day. I think my age spots have faded slightly and I’m more even toned so I’m glad to have used this one. I’m definitely a converted Olay user however I’d probably try other products in their serum range to get a different fragrance.
The packaging looks lush and expensive, with its shiny silver and red box. Inside, the Serum is a nice size and easy to work out how to use. The dropper pops out the right amount, although i use half a dropper more. It glides on smoothly and doesn’t leave any sticky after feel. I love the smell too, it’s citrusy and I just keep smelling it, it’s like a happy smell. My skin felt nice and soft after using. Would I call this a Super Serum? I think so….. After a couple of weeks usage (combined with the moisturiser) I have noticed my skin is nice and soft and it does feel smoother. Although I haven’t noticed the “younger” looking skin effect but I will definitely continue to use
Tips: Enjoy the smell……
This is a product that I didn't realise I needed and am pleased that I have discovered it! I do not normally use serums as I've been skeptical as to the value in them but I was wrong.
The Olay Regenerist Antioxidant Vitamin B3, C, and E is exceptional. I have been using the serum in the morning (before applying makeup) and in the evening after cleansing my face. The results after almost 4 weeks are outstanding. My skin has regained it's hydration and those fine lines are certainly reduced. I feel like my skin shines with a healthy glow and youthfulness that was lacking.
The product is easy to apply and doesn't feel heavy or sticky. The scent is fresh and reminds me of summer berries. The lid seals the product in so it isn't likely to dry out and the applicator is easy to use.
I highly recommend Olay Regenerist for smoother and healthier skin. A top product and I'm please I've discovered it.
Tips: Enjoy the results that you will discover using this serum.
This serum is very easy and smooth to apply- once you've worked out how to open the bottle! Twisting the cap you then reveal a dropper which you can push and dispense just the right amount of product. The serum is smooth and fragrance but soaks in quickly leaving a nice glow. I used it every night for 2 weeks but didn't see any noticeable changes in my skin. That said, I was also using the moisturiser in this range which I don't rate so I will try the serum on its own so I can compare. The serum doesn't last particularly long which should factor in the decision to purchase as it is a pricey product. I'm not sure there's too many positives or negatives for this serum - it's just a nice addition to a skincare routine if you need a little extra moisture or care.
Tips: Dispense serum onto fingertips so to not contaminate dropper on face. Combine this serum with a facial massage for an extra treat!
