Olay Luminous Niacinamide + Hyaluronic Super Serum

Olay Luminous Niacinamide + Hyaluronic Super Face Serum has a deeply hydrating formula enriched with Hyaluronic Acid and 99% Pure Niacinamide. It claims to penetrate 10 surface layers of the epidermis, is easily absorbed to intensely hydrate the skin for visibly smoother and more radiant skin in only 28 days. It says it's suitable for dehydrated skin and that it's formulated without nasties, meaning that is has no parabens, sulphates, phthalates, petrolatum or mineral oils.

When you twist open the lid, a button on top pops up, which is the dropper sucking up the first drop, ready for you to dispense it onto your palm. It only draws up a single drop of the serum each time, so there's no wastage, although I found the second drop never ever pulled up as much a the first. I'd either end up with one and a half drops, one and a quarter drops, or one and three quarter drops, but it works.

The serum has a lovely, light citrus scent that doesn't linger and the thin liquid is quickly absorbed into the skin with minimal massage, leaving a nice glow even after moisturiser has been applied. It goes on well under makeup and is lightweight and super hydrating. I'm 43 and have naturally oily skin, and left my skin so dewy without any extra greasiness. Even though the serum is recommended for dry skin, don't let that scare you, it's absorbed instantly, even on oily skin, and doesn't leave a heavy film. My skin feels softer, hydrated, looks brighter and is less oily.

My only complaint is with the packaging. The directions say to use two drops of product for your face and neck, but unfortunately, refilling the dropper isn't as easy as it should be. I know it's a minor complaint but I found it really frustrating, as I never got a consistent amount every night, and it's impossible to see how much product is left in the bottle.

Other than that, it's the best serum that I've ever used (and I've used many), and I'd definitely recommend it for all skin types. I'll be purchasing more!

The title says it all. This is a super serum and I'm so happy I got to try this baby out.

It took about a week for my skin to get used to this serum as initially it was irritating my skin and I noticed little bumps and spots appearing however I continued on as I really wanted to give this a proper try.

I love how easy this is to use, two products in one and the product is drawn up as soon as you open the tube. I used one "pump" morning and night.

I found this serum to wear nicely under my makeup and it didn't disrupt my makeup application or longevity.

It didn't have a noticeable fragrance which I am happy with.

Lets talk about the RESULTS!

I am amazed at the results this serum has given. My skin looks and feels amazing. I have noticed my dark pigmentation and spots disappearing, my skin is smoother and looks healthier. My makeup wears better and I'm not having to use alot of foundation anymore. Honestly I feel like I do look more youthful.

I will happily continue to use this amazing product and look forward to even better skin!

I'm just gonna say it - I LOVE THIS!

If you like dewy skin and are a fan of The Glow, then I think this will be one for you too.

The dispenser is easy to use and the packaging is lovely.

As this is a Hyaluronic serum it is as you'd expect hydrating! You can easily get away with just using this and not follow with a moisturiser!

My skintone looks really even, I have a few areas of discolouration, from the sun or just age I guess and this does seem to be having a positive impact on them!

This leaves skin looking so fresh and radiant, I'm loving using it! It's like summer has come early to my skin!

As I was trialing the Olay products I stopped using my uber expensive face creams to give this a proper go and see if there was any difference to my skin. I used this serum as the second step after cleansing and applied retinol afterwards then the Olay night cream as a last step for my face. The serum was not the normal serum texture and colour I was used to, it was white and a little bit watery and you need to apply it while your skin is moist so the hyaluronic acid works properly to lock in the moisture. I really really love this and the best part is that it's a 2 in 1 which saves me from being lazy and skipping it all together. I would definitely repurchase!

I have been using Olay Luminous Niacinamide + Hyaluronic Super Serum for about a month now. I have noticed my skin is smoother and brighter. My skin is pretty dry, and applying Olay Luminous Niacinamide + Hyaluronic Super Serum definitely hydrates my skin. I love the pump packaging. Very fancy! I will definitely using this again!

This was a pleasant serum but underwhelmed in its results. It was smooth and light with no intense fragrance. Using it morning and night for 4 weeks I was hoping for a plumping of the skin as indicated on the box but that didn't eventuate. I don't know that I would purchase again as the results weren't obvious.

I used this product for about a month as part of a trial team. The outer box is Olays silver & aqua cardboard. The serum itself is white & has a very slight pleasant initial perfume, and is dispensed from glass bottle with a dropper/pump incorporated into the lid which measures the 'dosage'. A nice touch so you dont have to dip your fingers in. The instructions say use 2 pumps, twice a day. I used between 1-2 depending on my skin's need on the day. I did not geberally put it on at night as I was also using a night cream. My current usage after approx 1 month is about 1/2 bottle. If I did this morning & night using 4 pumps, I imagine it would last less than a month, which at $44-60 makes it fairly pricy. I did like the serum as it makes the skin feel hydrated & does give a dewy glow. It is fast absorbing and non greasy. No adverse reactions for my sensitive skin. However, I'm undecided whether this product used in the way instructed, would be that much better than a more cost effective product. I will continue to use until the end and then decide on repurchasing & because of the above reason, I would probably buy on special rather than pay full price.

This is a really nice serum and I really, really enjoy using it. The packaging is gorgeous with the luminous white with a bit of a sheen to it. The consistency is perfect for a serum, not too thin but easily spreadable. The smell is gorgeous and it just feels nice to apply. I love the pump bottle and the fact that you pump it to get the serum in the tube and then pump it again to dispense it. It says to use 2 pumps at a time twice a day but I find one pump more than enough to spread over my face and neck and then it lasts a bit longer. It is quite pricey but given how long it lasts and the quality of it, I think it is worth the cost and you can't put a price on younger looking skin!

I was very excited to trial this product and I was not disappointed at the first sight of the bold, modern and bright packaging.

Upon opening the product, it has an auto-dropper which means it automatically draws out a measured amount of the serum into the dropper as you twist the lid open so I found that to be a great feature. The directions say to use 2 pumps of the serum but I found this to be a little too much for my skin to absorb so I used 1 pump and then added a little extra dab after that.

I found the serum to be a white/pale green colour, lightweight and of a quite runny liquid consistency. It glides onto the skin well and has minimal scent. I found it left my skin feeling silky and smooth however it left more of a matte effect on my skin rather than a 'dewy glow' as described on the box.

Although the product is a 30ml size I believe it would last around 3 months with a daily application. I trialed the product for 4 weeks and I applied it once a day under an Olay brand night cream. I have normal to combination skin so I find applying serums under day creams often make my skin too product-heavy to be able to apply my make up and have it set properly in the day, so hence the reason I only applied this product under the night cream before I went to bed each night.

After using the product for 4 weeks I sadly don't really feel that I have seen or experienced any changes to my skin. Possibly it is a little more plumped but not to a significantly noticable degree. It's a real shame as I love the packaging, the auto-dropper and the lightweight liquid consistency of the product however it is just lacking in delivering results that would make me want to purchase it again.

This is now my new go to! i have been using this every single day, my skin is glowy & bright and feels amazing! i have noticed my dark spots have almost gone and this is probably the best my skin has been in years. It is very light weight and you dont need much at all. It works well under make up.
