Olay Moisturising Lotion Review

I will never forget when I was younger always having the importance of a good skin care regime and especially a good moisturizer installed into me. Me being rebellious and young I never understood.. My Great Grandmother used this product, my Grandmother used it and my Mother also used it.. Its like the holy grail of skincare of the Women in my family. When I got a bit older my Mother encouraged me to use this product, and if not anything else.. to make sure I at least used this.. I will always thank her for that! This product is amazing.. I have forever been obsessed with the scent and the formula it is so nice and light yet very moisturizing. I always feel refreshed after using it. Its good and tried and true for sensitive skin.. Women throughout the Years are an absolute testament to that.. And honestly if you saw my Grandmothers skin and also my Mothers skin from YEARS of using this stuff you would understand what the hype is about. I highly recommend this for all age groups, its affordable, tried and true and you just cannot go wrong!

My mum has been using this for years so I purchased this assuming that if she liked it - I would too.

Boy I was wrong. I cannot stress how much I loathe this product. First of all, the packaging doesn't do anything for me aesthetically. In my opinion it is just kind of 'blah''.

However, the reason I dislike this so much is the quality of the product on my skin. To me it is WAY too thin - it is really messy and just slides around my hands. I also found that after using this my skin actually feels drier! For my skin at least this does nothing.

I also hate the smell - it's kind of old fashioned and chemically. I just can't stand it.

I couldn't bring myself to even use 1/4 of the bottle (I forced myself to use it daily for a fortnight to see if it would grow on me), but it did nothing for my skin except make it dry.

Thus I gave it to my mum and will absolutely never buy this again.

If you have really dry skin I wouldn't even touch this stuff.

I love the smell of this moisturiser, but its quite expensive for such a small bottle. The consistency is a bit too runny for my liking and it almost feels too light. Like it doesn't do much, if anything; for my skin. I wouldnt purchase again, not when there are so many cheaper, better nourishing moisturisers on the market today

I used to use this all the time when I first got into wearing face lotions and setting up a routine. I was influenced by my mother as she has used this brand forever, way back when it was oil of ulan. I love the smell of it, it's not too heavily fragranced just a clean smell. It's a light moisteriser so probably best for more normal skin types. As I've gotten older (Well I'm 27 now), my skin seems to have gotten more dryer so this lotion doesn't work as great for me anymore. I think it's quite affordable, and would be great for anyone wanting to try out some new face care with a brand that has been around for a very long time!

This is nice, not too heavy or greasy, but still leaves your skin feeling good. The smell is lovely but not too overpowering, and the price is ideal. Good basic.

Not greasy leaving skin feeling refreshed after hours working in the sun. Have used for years and will continue plus it's not expensive to purchase.

Initially when I started to use this I liked it as it is very easy on the budget and the bottle makes it easy to carry around in my handbag. The bottle isn't huge so it doesn't weigh my bag down.

The moisturizer is quite runny and liquidy which I didn't like but I did feel that it made my skin soft.

However after about two months of having this the product started to smell plasticy - it is like the plastic of the bottle leeched into the smell of the product. I strongly disliked this and for that reason I won't buy it again and I wouldn't recommend it. I prefer my products to be in glass jars.

My Nana and Mum used Olay and I love it to. It is the moisturiser I trust and I go back to it time and again. Nothing else comes close to measuring up. I have oily, dry skin and breakout easily. Olay does not clog my pores and does not add to the oiliness. It is light and gentle and makes my skin feel great. It spreads on easily. I absolutely love it

I have been using this for years and it is exceptionally good and my skin feels smooth and not oily. You don't have to use much at a time which is good and it is a reasonable price, love it.
