Olay Niacinamide + AHA Moisturiser

This moisturiser is great during the cooler months, it provides just the right amount of hydration without feeling too heavy. Prefer to use this in the evening as it didn’t quite sit well under makeup. But overall a great product from a trusted brand, give it a go!

A great duo for a AHA serum. Niacinamide + AHA Face Cream Moisturiser has a beautiful classy packaging but it was quite hard to take the inner lid off (be careful not to break your nails).

The texture is thick and scented so if you don't like fragrance in skincare this may put you off. I prefer to mix a few drops of facial oil so it is easier to apply on the skin. It absorbs well and doesn't leave the skin greasy. A small amount is enough so the cream will go a long way.

I didn't have any irritation with this product. Since the days are getting colder I am enjoying its thick texture and it feels quite nourishing for my skin. I haven't noticed any obvious changes in my skin, but I just enjoy how this moisturizer nourishes my skin and eases dryness.

It is definitely worth giving a try.

I did quite like this moisturiser but the only reason I didn’t rate it the full 5 stars is because of the consistency, I found it quite thick for a daytime moisturiser, I prefer a thinner moisturiser for daily use. I must say it did improve the appearance of my skin but didn’t brighten it as much as I was expecting. I am obsessed with the scent of these products, the smell reminds me of fresh peaches. I have started using this as my night moisturiser instead and have found that my skin looks really hydrated and plump by morning which I love. Overall I have other moisturisers that I prefer however this is still an amazing option for something at a cheaper price point than what I would usually purchase

Overall I really liked this moisturizer and would definitely use it again as part of my anti ageing skin program.

On opening the jar, there was a light fragrance but it wasn't too overpowering.

The texture of the cream was quite light and very spreadable, but I did make the mistake of using too much the first few times. I did also have to wait a few minutes after applying the serum before I could apply the cream. This step is essential.

After using it for several weeks, my skin was noticeably softer and had less texture, but I didn't notice a huge change in discolouration. I think perhaps I needed to use it longer as my skin is quite discoloured.

I love the colour scheme of the container, it is a traditional pottle and cover scenario- that I always struggle to remove so that goes straight in the bin. I didn’t love the smell of it- sort of had a bit of an old smell. The texture of the moisturiser is nice and it rubs in and soaks in well. I liked how I could feel it working it was a little tingly to begin with. I think it definitely made a difference to my skin and would definitely recommend despite the slightly odd smell. I think that the price point is about right and like how it’s easily available not in specialist stores

The market is flooded with new creams making promises but I feel this moisteriser really delivers I was pleasantly surprised. This is very light weight and non greasy cream which left my skin feeling brighter due to the vitamin C ingredient. It works well with other brands also.

This moisturizer was a pleasant surprise! While I don't feel that my skin is overly plump or moisture rich, my skin does feel very smooth and I can notice the improvement in evening my skin tone.

In terms of the packaging, it comes in a screw top jar, which isn't my preference in terms of convenience and hygiene. The smell isn't overly strong, and is almost botanical-like but with a clean smell too. It's on the thicker side in texture, but I found it melts nicely into the skin - so can be used morning or night comfortably. I have some faded redness on my cheeks in particular from old blemishes that hadn't seemed to improve, despite not experiencing blemishes as often. I noticed this area has improved, and my skin tone is becoming more even, as well as the texture feeling super smooth. I will continue to use it and see how much improvement I can get.

The only downside is, I don't think it helps with drier skin, so I would still want to supplement with something purely to add moisture to my skin.

As a background to my skin type, I have combination skin that is typically oily on my nose/chin and normal elsewhere. I’m prone to the occasional breakout on my chin. I turn 30 this year and due to this I'm starting to think about using products that will address any early signs of aging.

My first impression of the product was that I really liked the packaging. It's a heavy feeling white plastic pot with a silver lid that certainly looks a bit fancier than the actual cost of the product.

My next thought was that the smell is really nice. It wasn't too overpowering for me and didn't linger on my skin once absorbed. It has a sweet/fresh scent.

This product contains an AHA, being lactic acid. If you're unfamiliar, alpha-hydroxy acids (or AHAs) work to exfoliate and dissolve the top layer of dry, dull skin to hopefully reveal fresher, brighter and smoother skin underneath. Due to the nature of AHAs, I wasn't surprised that my skin tingled after using this product the first couple of times. After a few days of use, I could tell that the top layer of my skin was beginning to exfoliate off.

I haven't experienced any itchiness or dryness from using this product. I also haven't had any breakouts while using this product. The product itself feels creamy yet not too heavy. The product absorbed easily into my skin and after use my skin felt hydrated, but not oily. The texture of my skin has certainly improved since using this product. It feels smooth and looks glowy.

Overall, I've enjoyed using this product and I can see potential in continuing to use it. I think I need to use it for a few more weeks to experience the full results that Olay states can be achieved when using this product.

I think this is a good moisturiser, it's a nice smooth texture and it applys well into my skin. Absorbs well and skin looks healthy and glowing afterwards. My only concern with this moisturiser was it did give Me that slightly tight feeling on my face a few minutes after it was applied. My skin still had a nice healthy hydrated look but it didn't feel that way, it just had that slightly tight dry feeling. I have also been using this moisturiser along side the Olay luminous niacinamide + AHA super serum and when applying that before the moisturiser it did make my face feel slightly less dry and tight. I also did see some improvement with my old acne scaring so I do feel like this moisturiser and the serum do work but maybe the moisturiser just isn't the perfect one for my skin. I would definitely still recommend to a friend as I do feel it works well and as it claims. Nice packaging and easy to use .
