Definitely not for me. After using it for a couple of days, I had a break out all over my forehead and cheeks. I was not expecting this to happen given that this product is designed for sensitive skin. However the lotion is very easy to apply and it absorbs quite quickly as well

I have very sensitive skin so anything with the word 'sensitive' on the packaging appeals to me. Unfortunately I had a bad reaction and it burnt my face quite a bit. This happens with some other products too so is nothing against olay...just not for me
The packaging of this moisturiser is not ideal as it's really hard to squeeze the product out after a while. It is also very light and not as moisturising as I would like, I feel like there are much more affordable options out there when looking for a cheap moisturiser but if your just purchasing your very first moisturiser then yes I would say go for it as this was the first one I ever tried and it did do the job but just not for long term.
I picked up this moisturizer on sale at The Warehouse, and it looked like a good one as my skin has been really sensitive lately. I think it does work, but I've found other brands for cheaper (such as simple) that work like this does.
This comes in a pretty big squeeze bottle with a screw off cap, the packaging works well and I find it easy to get the product out. This doesn't have much scent to it, and is not very thick either. It spreads easily over the skin and absorbs quickly, so is good for all skin types. I found the effects of this lasted all day but in winter it wasn't as nourishing and I still got dry patches.
I do recommend this, but mainly to sensitive skin and during summer as it is a lighter moisturizer. It provides light moisture that lasts all day, and is perfect for sensitive skin because there is no fragrance.
Hlad there's one cream in the collection for the sensitive skin. I like old-school Olay it's a classic cream.. I used it for years
This is a great moisturiser for the summer. This is because I noticed that when using it in winter, my skin was dry in my sensitive areas (cheeks, nose)
This is great for sensitive skin. I like how it is not too thick so it can work well underneath makeup or on its own. It smells nice too!
I have been using this product for quite a few years on my skin even though I do not typically have sensitive skin on my face. I still find it better than using the regular moisturiser as I have never had a problem with this product. I use it daily and it lasts for quite a few months. My skin is never greasy after using this mousturiser and it always leaves my skin well hydrated and soft. I use this before my foundation and even, on days when I want light coverage, mixed in with my foundation or concealer. Definitely a great product.
I was first introduced to Olay (or Oil of Olay in those days) by my mother, who had used Olay most of her life because it was affordable, hydrating and gentle on the skin.
The moisturiser feels cool and fresh on the skin and has a nice light feel to it, which I really enjoyed. I believe that it works well for all skin types, as it is not too hydrating (as I aged I needed to apply more of it).
It works great for sensitive and irritated (i.e. sunburnt) skin - both of which I've experienced, and as mentioned the cooling effect sooths the skin.
A plus is that the product is often on special.
The moisturiser does everything that I expected from it and I would recommend it to a friend if they were after something affordable.
The only reason I haven't given it top marks is that I recently tried to go back to this moisturiser after a year of not using it and I just did not find it hydrating enough for me or that it sunk in quickly enough.
In saying that, I still have very fond memories of this moisturiser and would considering seeing if my skin felt suited to it again (though last time, I did give up and gave it to my mother).
I love and adore the original version of this moisturiser (the one with the pink tint and the rosy fragrance) but this one breaks me out something terrible which is very interesting being that this is the 'sensitive skin' variant. Within a few hours of using this I will break out in dermatitis with itching and burning and hives all over my chin - I don't know what the difference is but this definitely contains something that the original formulation does not so I will stick with the original thanks. The only other difference for me that I can see is that this formula is a tad thicker and less easily absorbed than the original but the overall consistency is pretty much the same.
