Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum

The first time I pout this on I couldn't stop touching my face, it was SO soft. I have an 11 week old and I feel in these 11 weeks I've ages at least 10 years so was super excited to try this. To be fair it's too soon to see if my wrinkles have decreased BUT I have noticed my skin is more bright (considering I'm running on empty) and my bags definatly have reduced. I'm excited to see some long term results.

I enjoyed using this night serum - it has no scent, a really nice (not sticky) texture, and it's more moisturising than I thought it might be! I have combination, slightly sensitive skin, and I didn't have any issues using this product - I should say I introduced it slowly, every other night for a while, before going full-time. While not drastic, after a few weeks use I feel like I can see some results, with some of my darker spots appearing lighter, and an improved texture to my skin. So far I'm enjoying this serum, and would definitely consider repurchasing it!

I have been an Olay fan since way back in the '80s when it was called "oil of ulay". So when I saw that Olay was now offering a Retinol product I jumped at the chance to try this. Unfortunately, I was a bit disapointed. I am a regular Vitamin A user so I had none of the normal reactions that one usually experiences such as tingling, redness or peeling. The formula is smooth and easy to apply. There is no perfume and it was easily absorbed into the skin. After three weeks, however, I saw no visible improvement other than my skin was well hydrated. I think for what you pay, it's worth shopping around.

I really like using this serum, love the way it makes my face feel really soft and it has definitely lightened the dark ageing spots on my cheeks. I will definitely keep using it and also thinking of buying the other products that will work well with it..

I am new user of retinol and this serum is my second product so I can't compare with other products but here is my experience. The serum comes in gorgeous, lush looking purple dropper bottle which isn't transparent. Minus for me as I love to see how much product is left to use. I don't find it easy to use and I actually would love it to be simple pump bottle instead. Because the texture is a bit thicker, a lot of serum is being left in the pipette. The texture is milky and lightweight, a bit thick. I don't feel any scent. It is easy to apply, feels silky on the skin and absorbs well. It is recommended to use pea size amount but for me it isn't enough. I love that it has added Niacinamide which is always soothing for my dry skin. I think this serum makes my skin smoother and helps with skin tone. I haven't seen any visible improvement with fine lines so think the brand's claim it'll transform skin in 28 days, is a too bold. Anyway I know you need patience with retinol to see visible changes. I didn't have irritation so far. I overall like the product but it is not something I'd repurchase.

I was lucky enough to participate in the Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum trial. Thank you BR.

The boxed packaging is simple with brief directions and a caution on the box. I wasn't wowed by the by the opaque, glass bottle holding the Retinol or the silver coloured plastic screw top with a plastic dropper for dispensing. I have used an automated dispenser before and found Olay's clunky to use. It was not a seamless action in comparison.

12 hours before use I did a patch test on my jawline. Then applied over my face (avoiding contact with eyes!). My skin did not and has not reacted.

The first week I used twice a week and have increased usage from there. After removing my make up and cleansing, I apply Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum evenly over my face. When you unscrew the cap it automatically draws up the product into the dropper in preparation for dispensing.

Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum is fragrant (and nasties) free. It is milky in colour, ultra light weight and absorbs quickly into my skin. A little product does go a long way.

After applying Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum my skin is definitely smoother in texture and very hydrated. I was pleasantly surprised my skin was just as smooth and hydrated when I wake in the morning. It is too soon to honestly say I noticed a difference with fine lines. I look forward to in another few weeks time to see if there is a noticeable difference.

It is recommended to wear an SPF on your face, in the morning after using Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Facial Serum. I use SPF in both my face moisturiser and foundation.

This wee bottle of serum had a noticeable effect on my skin after a few weeks of using it. Skin looks brighter and tighter. The serum itself is a lightweight white non sticky milk that absorbs without leaving residue. It’s delivered in an exact amount every time you use it which is great as takes guesswork and wastage out of the equation! It’s very affordable at $39 bottle and will last you ages. No fragrance at all.

The serum arrived in a well packaged Red and silver Olay colours box, understandable as the dropper and the holder is pretty well protector - I hv not been able to establish if its glass or some kind of luxury plastic.

I followed the BR directions and only applied every second day in the first week, after doing the patch test (no reaction), and found my skin had a bit of a tingle. Nothing alerting just the normal serum tickle, I have had used other products in the past that was definitely more tingly. I used my night moisturiser with this product.

The dropper itself took a bit of figuring out - as the pump part pops up when unscrewing the cap. You then give it a quick pump to draw the liquid into the dropper. I then drop this on the back of my hand and apply to my face. The liquid is bit thicker and does stay on the back of my hand (found other products would just run of and wasted a lot), however I found that I had to use a bit more to cover my face and neck than the dropper allows.

Easily spreadable and ease of use, which I liked. I have been using the product for 3 weeks now and have seen a bit of improvement in my skin. If this is due to no air conditioning, make up or office environment, or if its the Retinol 24 night serum I am not able to tell, however I will keep on using the product due to the easy way one can apply it.

At around $42 I am not sure it is affordable. I have less expensive serums that work just as well, however Olay states you will see a difference after 28 days of continuous use so I have another week to go.

Olay Regenerist Retinol24 is a product I really wish I'd stumbled upon during my first foray into retinol around six-ish months ago. There are so many products available at varying strengths and price points that it felt pretty overwhelming trying to decide what would work for my skin without turning it into a complete disaster. This stuff is foolproof. My skin usually makes me pay for adding, subtracting or just making any tiiiiiiiiny tweak to actives in my regimen but this stuff had no negative effects being added in which I think is in part thanks to the serum having absolutely no noticeable scent (no nasty dyes either!) and absorbing beautifully without leaving a strange texture on the skin surface. The bottle is heavy for its size, I like this because it feels like the precious retinol inside is well protected from light, air and clumsiness. The dropper built into the lid is genius! it draws up the PERFECT amount of product so I never use more than I need to or not enough. I didn't notice a huge difference in the appearance of my skin texture or brightness which I didn't really expect having already been using retinol, I do think this did a fantastic job at maintaining what I've already achieved though which is excellent. Would I repurchase this? yes, if I saw it on sale for a good price I'd definitely grab a bottle for myself and I'll be encouraging friends/family just starting out with retinol to give this a try.
