Really like this!

This was a really gentle but really good vitamin c serum. It absorbed really quickly into my skin, didn't leave a greasy feeling at all. It has a pleasant fragrance too, it's not too strong and the fragrance does dissipate quite quickly. I'd definitely use this again once I've used it up. I did find that not a lot of product comes out of the glass container, but that's OK, because you don't need a lot. It does spread a long way. Definitely a nice product though.

Olay Luminous Niacinamide + Vitamin C Super Serum

I was fortunate enough to be selected to trial this serum and really wanted to love it. While I didn't hate it I didn't really see too much in the way of results when it came to changing my skin imperfections, although it did a great job at hydrating. The serum is in a really innovative bottle that has a self-measuring dropper built into it. You turn the top and it draws in the serum while inside the bottle and then when you push the button a perfect amount of serum comes out. I have rather dry skin but found the dose to be plenty to apply to my face and neck. The serum itself is lightweight and absorbs very easily into the skin without leaving it greasy. It does have a light fragrance which is pleasant, although probably not necessary, as it doesn't hang around after application.

In summary I found this to be a good hydrator, but at the $60 price point I wouldn't be in a rush to purchase this myself.

Tips: If hydration is important to you then give this a go.

Glowing and radiant

My first impressions came when I opened the product box, the packaging of the bottle was very unique! You twist the lid and a button pops up that you push to expel the product into the dropper, so that you hygienically and conveniently get the right amount of product. My initial thoughts of the formula were the lovely fresh fragrant smell. It was so nice and didn’t irritate my sensitive eczema prone skin. While using this product I found my skin become supple and glowing, and it was such a wonderful base when putting on make up, especially my full coverage matte foundation, I felt as though my skin was healthy and glowing. I really enjoy using this product and it makes my skincare routine feel extra luxurious than normal.

Tips: Apply it straight after washing your face after applying a toner. This helps to lock-in moisture after your washing your face for that extra hydration and glow!

Super Serum!

Summary: The Olay Nicinamide + Vitamin C serum really does brighten the skin and is well worth the investment. Detail: The Olay Nicinamide + Vitamin C serum comes in a 30ml bottle. The bottle is made of cloudy glass, which makes it difficult to determine how far through the bottle you are. The cap twists open. The applicator/dropper is attached to the cap. The instructions say to use two "pumps" per application. This is surprisingly difficult to calculate - pressing the top of the cap releases the serum from the dropper - sometimes this releases one large drop, and one small one - other times it releases two medium, sized drops. I generally ran with using the contents of the dropper. The serum has a really pleasant aroma and has the consistency of single cream. It quickly absorbs into the skin without leaving any sticky or greasy residue. I used the product morning and night, following the instructions to tone first and to follow with moisturiser. The serum states it will brighten skin and reduce the look of dark spots. After using the serum for two weeks I am really impressed by how much brighter my skin is. It really has a lovely glow and, although I still have plenty of wrinkles, I feel that my skin looks more youthful. I have not noticed any reduction in the dark spots on my skin. However, I have noticed that they are easier to cover with foundation, so perhaps there has been some small change. The serum retails for $59.99, which is a considerable investment. Especially considering that, using the product morning and night I think it would only last a month. However, this one really works and in my opinion is well worth the investment.

Olay Luminous Niacinamide + Vitamin C Super Serum

I was super excited to receive this product it looked awesome and ive never really tried a serum on my face before as i was always worried that it would make my face too oily but boy was i wrong with this product! The packaging was brilliant and felt so luxurious, from the shiny box it came in to the bottle with its twist top and dropper to drip the product onto my skin. The serum looked beautiful and shimmery before i applied it onto my skin. It absorbed into my skin so quickly leaving it feeling soft and smelling beautiful and fresh. Didnt really notice much of a change in my skin tone and brightening my skin but i will keep using and seeing if it makes any changes the more i use it. So glad i gave this serum a try and its really wanting me to try serums on my face more often for sure!

Niacinamide + Vitamin C Super Serum

I'd previously been using a supermarket brand Vitamin C serum and the Olay Luminous Niacinamide + Vitamin C Super Serum is certainly a step up.

The glass bottle gives it a high-end look and auto-dropper delivers just the right amount of product (although I did actually have to read the instructions to learn how to use it)!

The Olay Luminous Niacinamide + Vitamin C Super Serum is hydrating and absorbs easily. It also works perfectly when layering products as I follow it with creams and make-up depending on the time of the day.

I have dark pigmentation above one of my eyebrows and I'm not convinced that using this product twice per day for over two weeks has made much of a difference. My skin definitely looks brighter, more even, and more supple though. I will continue to use it and expect to see the promised benefits over time.

The Olay Luminous Niacinamide + Vitamin C Super Serum bottle is small and if you're using two pumps twice a day, I don't see a bottle lasting much more than a month. It's worth shopping around to buy this product as the price seems to vary drastically ($35.99 - $59.99) depending on where you purchase it from.

Nice serum

The serum smells nice and feels light on the skin. It doesn’t leave any residue after it’s dried. I had super dry skin that moisturiser wasn’t solving but the serum cleared it up after 2 days of use, morning and night. My skin feels smoother and it looks a little clearer but hard to tell after a week’s use. I’ll definitely keep using it!

The instructions say 2 pumps but 1 pump covers your face. I use two to cover my neck area.

Helpful little serum!

When I first received this product to review, I was a little sceptical that it would actually do what it said it would. However, after almost 2 weeks I’m pleasantly surprised!

I have been using this serum morning and night alongside my Essano set which contains niacinamide, and together they have really helped settle my skin and even it out. The serum is super silky and easy to spread across my face, but doesn’t leave an oil slick across my face which I really appreciate!

The serum smells really nice, not overpowering and doesn’t have that real chemical smell to it. Hard to tell if the smell doesn’t linger long or if you just get used to it quick because after about 5 minutes I couldn’t smell a thing.

It’s recommended to use 2 pumps of serum, however I found it quite difficult to get a full second pump without having to screw the lid back on, pumping it a few times then unscrewing it again.

Overall this was a really nice product for my skin. At $36 a bottle I’m glad a little goes a long way!

Tips: Start with 1 pump first and see how well it covers your face before trying a second pump. Also helps to pump the bottle a few times to prime the tube before you apply.

Silky Smooth Serum

I haven't used an Olay product in a long time so was looking forward to trying this serum! Firstly, the packaging is lovely and simple, I liked the push button style dropper, it was easy to use.

I found the serum texture silky, easy to spread across my skin - didn't feel sticky nor too watery, and absorbed quickly, all the things I like in my serums! It also has a mild pleasant scent, I don't mind scented skincare as long as it's not too overpowering, and this Olay scent is nice.

After two weeks of using the Niacinamide + Vitamin C Super Serum morning and night, I did notice my skin looking somewhat brighter and feeling a little smoother overall, I think continued use of this product over a longer period will probably increase the changes I'm starting to see. I'm at an age where my skin is starting to show some fine lines now so while I really like this serum, I'd probably like to try the Niacinamide + Hyaluronic serum in this Olay range for its skin-plumping claims.

Overall I would recommend this product to anyone with normal to dry skin, it's a nice hydrating non-greasy serum that's simple to use after cleaning and toning, even if you're in a rush because it's so easy to apply and absorbs quickly.

Tips: This serums spreads quite well so you don't need a lot - I use one pump for my neck and décolletage, and one pump for my face, and that's quite a generous amount already. I like to use any extra on the back of my hands too. :)

Great glowy serum!

I have been using this serum twice a day for at least 2 weeks now. I wash my face with my usual cleanser, then apply the serum then moisturiser.

Consistency: quite liquidy Fragrance: smells floral to me but just a slight hint and not overpowering

When I apply onto my face , it feels slightly tacky as it dries up, once fully dry then I apply my moisturiser.

Application: I apply in circular , upward motions, giving my facial muscles a gentle massage.

Glow: Once I finish my skincare - (face wash or (add exfoliation twice a week) then serum and moisturise),and if I leave my face as it is without makeup, then my face looks shiny especially when the sun hits my forehead/ cheeks.

I didn’t like how my skin is shiny, I expected that my skin would look naturally bright overall and not just shiny like I have oil on my forehead.

However, When I add my makeup with light- medium coverage foundation, my face looked as if I am wearing a subtle highlight. Very natural. I really how it looks and I would definitely include this in my routine.

I didn’t see any changes to my uneven skin tone or dark spots. This serum for me is just like a brightening primer, hopefully as I use it longer than 2 weeks , I will see more improvement to my skin.

So far I am very happy with this product as part of my makeup routine and I would really recommend it.

Tips: Use as recommended , at least twice a day.
