Olay Sensitive Moisturising Cream Review

I have been using this facial moisturiser from Olay for many years now, and I am sure I will use it for many more. I do not actually have skin that is so sensitive that I need the Sensitive version of this lotion, but I prefer not having any fragrance or colourants in my face cream. Having said that, I’ve also used the Classic version of this moisturiser when I have not been able to get the Sensitive version, and it is just as nice. The lotion is nice and light, with no greasiness at all, and it leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. I usually buy the larger sized bottle rather than the screw top jar, and because the lotion is so nice and light it is easy to dispense from the bottle. I like that Olay products are easily available from the supermarket and I think they are really great value for money. A few years ago I started using the SPF version of this lotion as my day cream, and this plain version has become my night cream as I am beginning to fully realise how important it is in New Zealand to use a cream with SPF every day. The lotion does exactly what it says on the packaging, it gives your skin lots of hydration and leaves it soft and smooth. At the same time it is fuss free and as it has no fragrance my partner sometimes uses it too when his skin is really dry. I would definitely recommend this not just to people with sensitive skin.

My great grandmother at the age of 93 looked like she was in her 70s. And the only thing she used on her skin was a block of soap and olay cream!

So naturally I had to try it myself. It feels nice, heavy like a night cream. Pleasant smell and texture. Did I notice a major change while using it? No. But it's a great buffer for locking in moisture when I've run out of my expensive cream untill I can get some more.
