Olay Niacinamide + Vitamin C Moisturiser

Olay's Niacinamide + Vitamin C Moisturiser says it's suitable for dry and dull skin. My skin ticks those boxes nicely, along with having dark spots from acne/pimple scarring, so I was excited to try this.

First of all, the packaging is lovely. I like the silver top, and the solid plastic jar with its swirl design - it looks chic. The moisturiser itself has a citrus scent, which disappears quickly once on the skin, which I appreciated. The texture is rich but also gel-like, and it sinks into the skin quickly, and leaves it very smooth feeling to the touch (which I'm guessing is because of the dimethicone).

While using this my skin did certainly feel like it was brighter to look at, my fresher dark spots did seem to reduce in appearance, and overall I liked it. Makeup also sat on top of it nicely and I didn't experience pilling. The one thing that stopped me loving it is that my skin didn't feel as hydrated as I'd have liked, in fact it felt a little tight. Had it felt plush, I'd have given it five kisses. That being said, it's still a great moisturiser, it did what it said it would do, and if you had dry-ish to normal skin, I think it would be a real winner.

I recently start using Olay Niacinamide + Vitamin C Moisturiser and serum. Both products together Work well just like magic. I'm receiving so many compliments from my young daughters. I'm 46 but my skin looks better than their's. Thanks Olay! P.S. believe it or not only use Olay Products. I never bought any other product in last 30 years.

This is a nice moisturiser with a subtle mango scent. It absorbs quickly and is nice and light, yet still hydrating. I have been using it for about 3 weeks, and my skin complexion has just started to look like it's evening out a bit. I haven't noticed any brightening affect, but its possible I would with continued use. Overall, it's a good moisturiser that I might purchase again, but it's nothing extraordinary that I'd actively seek out. However, since I'm just starting to see the affects it's having on my complexion, it's possible there would be more visible results with continued use.

I was able to trial this moisturiser alongside the eye cream. It is so fantastic that I went out and bought the serum to complete the set. When you read the stats above in the promotional material you wonder if it could really be that good - well, it is. I have more 'mature' skin - in other words, older! My skin was looking less than stellar and very tired. After only a week of using this, I was quite surprised to see the very obvious difference. I've been using it for about a month and I'm getting comments about how well I'm looking and how good my skin looks. This moisturiser is great under makeup and it's not at all greasy. It is lightly fragranced and has a very light texture which is quickly absorbed into the skin. The packaging is lovely and you feel like you are getting something very special when you use it. Not having any 'nasties' in the moisturiser, which are still so prevalent in more expensive brands, makes it a go-to for me. I've used Olay off and on since the days it was Oil of Ulan when I was a teen and I really do credit it for the condition of my skin in my 50s. I can't see me swapping back to the more expensive (and chemical-heavy) brands any time soon.

I have recently switched my skin care brand to Olay and boy I can already tell the difference in my skin. Iv been using the vitamin c moisturiser along with olay eye cream and peptide serum daily. My skin feels brighter, hydrated and plumper. It is great for winter as my skin dries up a lot during this weather. Now I don’t have to worry because as long as I use my Olay skincare products daily, I know my skin will be protected and well nourished in this cold winter weather.

After a bad run in with acne (pregnancy) , I used this not long after it started clearing up. It kept my skin feeling plump and hydrated in the post natal phase, and truly feel it sped up the process of healthing acne marks left behind. I want to try it on stretch marks.
