Olay Regenerist Collagen Peptide 24 Serum

I’ll start with the positives! This serum is a lovely consistency, it’s silky, smooth and applies to the skin easily without feeling sticky or oily. But that’s pretty much where it ends for me.

At first the packaging seemed quite innovative and easy to use but it really wasn’t. The twisty pump is fiddly and doesn’t always work. I would have preferred a regular pump that dispenses the correct amount of product each time.

This serum does not mix well with any of the other products in my skin care routine so I had to stop using them all while I tried this product (I’ve also reviewed the matching cream which is the only product that does apply with no issues).

It also left a light film on my face sort of like a primer which is fine but is also the reason I couldn’t use my other skin care products as it ended up separating with gooey streaks.

For the two weeks that I trialled this product I didn’t notice any changes in my skin, if anything it felt drier and quite tight in the mornings. I would only recommend this serum to those with oily skin looking for a serum that feels nice. But that’s about it unfortunately!

I have been using this serum every other night for about two months. My skin is sensitive, but in pretty good condition, only fine lines so far. First of all, it is a very different delivery system which took me a while to work out. But it is quite clever. I don't like how you can't see what the level inside the bottle is, I feel like it might run out on me when I'm not expecting it lol. The serum is white and of average consistency. The dispenser dispenses just enough of the serum to cover face and neck. Some days though, I feel like I need more. It hasn't done anything bad to my skin, (which can be reactive), but it hasn't done anything for it either. Would not repurchase.

I loved the sound of this serum, especially since it contained my favourite ingredient - Niacinamide! I have been trying this morning and night for 3 weeks. I love that it is fragrance free especially since my skin is sensitive to fragrance and the packaging is neat and allows for you to control the amount of product you use. I would have liked for the ingredients and percentages to be labelled on the packaging.

It felt nice on the skin and didn't leave any sticky residue. Makeup went on overtop nicely and I didn't have any issues. For the first few days I just used this serum and stopped using my usual products but I just found I wasn't getting enough hydration and my skin started feeling dry. As soon as I added in my other products my skin went back to normal. I just didn't feel I was getting enough hydration from this product.

After 3 weeks of use, I don't really feel like there is any difference to my skin which has surprised me given the ingredients and didn't feel like I was getting enough hydration. I don't think I would repurchase this product.
