Olay Moisturising Lotion Review

My mum has been using this for years so I purchased this assuming that if she liked it - I would too.

Boy I was wrong. I cannot stress how much I loathe this product. First of all, the packaging doesn't do anything for me aesthetically. In my opinion it is just kind of 'blah''.

However, the reason I dislike this so much is the quality of the product on my skin. To me it is WAY too thin - it is really messy and just slides around my hands. I also found that after using this my skin actually feels drier! For my skin at least this does nothing.

I also hate the smell - it's kind of old fashioned and chemically. I just can't stand it.

I couldn't bring myself to even use 1/4 of the bottle (I forced myself to use it daily for a fortnight to see if it would grow on me), but it did nothing for my skin except make it dry.

Thus I gave it to my mum and will absolutely never buy this again.

If you have really dry skin I wouldn't even touch this stuff.

My Mum has used this her whole life but I find it to be too thin and watery for me. I like a thicker lotion that I feel my skin is soaking up. It doesn't smell that great either.

This was the first ever hydrating cream i used. It was gifted to me by my mum as my first 'lady like' product. To start with i thought it was wonderful but then i realized that it just isn't that good. It doesn't leave my skin feeling hydrated or moisturized at all. It does soak in very fast but i feel like its too runny too really do anything. Its as if it has no substance to it. It is no longer a product i continue to use.

Initially when I started to use this I liked it as it is very easy on the budget and the bottle makes it easy to carry around in my handbag. The bottle isn't huge so it doesn't weigh my bag down.

The moisturizer is quite runny and liquidy which I didn't like but I did feel that it made my skin soft.

However after about two months of having this the product started to smell plasticy - it is like the plastic of the bottle leeched into the smell of the product. I strongly disliked this and for that reason I won't buy it again and I wouldn't recommend it. I prefer my products to be in glass jars.

When I was little my mum sweared by this as a staple in her beauty routine. It still smells the same and I love it, reminds me of familiar smells in my youth.. I used it a couple of times in my adulthood, but I think it's moisturiser power is sadly lacking compared with the many other products out there today. However the smell will make me smile everytime.

I love the smell of this moisturiser, but its quite expensive for such a small bottle. The consistency is a bit too runny for my liking and it almost feels too light. Like it doesn't do much, if anything; for my skin. I wouldnt purchase again, not when there are so many cheaper, better nourishing moisturisers on the market today

My partner uses this moisturizer, and she swears by it but when I use it I don't know what it is but I don't like it. It makes my skin very greasy feeling and i also find it breaks me out. I do think this is just me though, my skin obviously just doesn't agree with this product. My skin is softer after use, and so is my partners so it does its job in that way. I wouldn't recommend this to people with sensitive skin... Like i said it does feel greasy on my skin and breaks me out.

Bought this as a cheap alternative, now kind of wishing that I had spent a few dollars more. It does moisturise my face and is very light scented, a little but does go a long way. However the packaging is a bit messy and difficult to use everyday. Prefer using averno to this but otherwise ok.

Great on my skin leaves it soft and feels hydrated how eve gives me dry patches on my eyes which happens every time i apply product to my eye

I like, but don't love the Olay Classic. The price is fine, smells great, but have never enjoyed this moisturizer. It feels too slippery to me, and only buy when on a tight budget and its on special.
