Olay Complete UV Lotion Sensitive Skin SPF15 Review

I really liked this moisturizer. It wasn't overly oily and felt heavy on my skin. It didn't cause heaps of breakouts like other face lotions and it didn't react with my sensitive skin. I wore it under my foundation which is great for the summer to avoid those harsh UV Ray's. Totally recommend!

I used to use the green Aveeno body moisturiser for my face..I intially bought it to use on my body, and then because of how well it worked, I thought I would try it on my face and was instantly sold.

But I ran out around a month or so ago, and figured with it being summer I needed something with SPF in it (and that I should really use an SPF all the time). I generally avoid the classic day creams because my skin is sensitive yet oily, and it can be a massive pain to try product after product, end up with stinging patches on my face, and still not find the right match.

When I came across the Olay range, I figured it would be best to get something to treat the sensitivity of my skin, rather than the oil production, and this moisturiser has been the perfect fit. It is super light and feels like I am doing something good for my skin when I put it on. This one has no fragrance (I imagine because it is targeted to people with sensitive skin), which is a bit of a bummer because I love the classic Olay smell - but having no fragrance is not a deal breaker for me. It is a bargain for your dollar, it does what it says it will do, and my skin feels lovely and looks healthy.

I like wearing makeup or skincare with a sunscreen in it. This is perfect for daily use and under makeup. I think I’ve used this since I was a teenager.. well at least some version of it. I’m a fan of their normal and spf30 version also.. but switched to this one after having kids and my skin went haywire. It’s been around forever so fingers crossed it will remain around.

I paid $7.99 on special which is amazing. The size is decent so the bottle lasts me a while. I don’t skimp on using it. I like a decent amount for my face and neck but it’s not too thick so a little does go far.

It’s very spreadable to use and not too viscous so is very soft and silky on the skin.

It doesn’t cause me buildup and is easily removed at the end of the day. I love that it doesn’t clog my pores and my skin feels like it can breathe.

Excited it has SPF and is for sensitive skin as it can be very hard to find both of these for me.. I’ve had bad reactions to certain sunscreens and face creams so.. bonus.

Wish it had a pump but that’s only if I’m being super picky.

I use this one in winter as my skin is drier than in summer. It goes on really smoothly and the foundation that I use is as if this this moisturizer allows the foundation to go on smoother. Like the fact that it has a SPF in and for day to day use it is fine. It lasts ages and it is cheap.

I have been using this brand since I was a young kid. My grandmother used to use the original. I switched to this product as a teenager when I wanted to add SPF to my daily moisturizer, I was also experiencing some eczema so needed something a little bit more delicate for my skin. I apply this every morning and it leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. I also add this to my makeup routine before primer.

I bought this thinking I should probably start wearing sunscreen on my face all year round so having a mosturiser with spf protection in it would be the easiest thing to do. However I found that even though I bought the sensitive product it still stung or generally irritated my skin if I applied it after washing or exfoliating my face. Even just now I put it on my face on a lazy weekend morning when I haven't done anything to my face yet and it still leaves it feeling tight. Such a shame as I really wanted this to like this!

Not a bad product!

As a moisturiser, it was not greasy and did not irritate my somewhat sensitive skin. I didn't find it super hydrating though, and my makeup would often feel dry by the end of the day. It has a nice light scent and did feel quite refreshing and smooth.

However, I would not replace a sunscreen with this product. It was great to have on under makeup (as I am terrible at remembering to suncreen up everyday) and is a nice small protective measure. But it definitely doesn't work as a reliable UV protectant - which makes sense as I would only use this in the mornings, not reapply throughout the day.

A good product that happens to have an SPF proctectant - but as a moisturiser rather than sun protector.

For a few years now I have been using this lotion as my daily moisturiser. I used to use the non SPF version of this, but I have become really aware of how damaging the New Zealand sun is, and I no longer leave the house with some SPF on my face. However, I still use the non SPF version as a night cream as it has such a nice consistency. Even though I do not have super sensitive skin I like using a product without fragrance and colourants, which is why I use the Sensitive version of this lotion and not the Classic lotion. The lotion is very nice and light, especially for a product with SPF. It makes my skin soft and hydrated, and does not leave a greasy film like some other SPF products do. I like buying this lotion in the bottle, rather than in the smaller jar, and I really like how easily available Olay products are in supermarkets. I also feel that Olay moisturisers are really great value for money. As I am getting older, and signs of ageing are becoming visible, I am planning to increase the SPF of my day cream and buy the Olay SPF30 lotion next time. However, even the SPF 15 version I am using at the moment came in very handy recently when I started adding Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Night Serum to my beauty routine. When you use a product with Retinol you need to use sunscreen during the day, and using a daily moisturiser with SPF meant that I did not have to change my morning routine. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a light moisturiser with SPF at a very reasonable price.
