Olay Niacinamide + AHA Moisturiser

I'm a firm believer in investing in quality skincare products, and this moisturiser has totally blown me away. Let me break it down for you.

First of all, let's talk about results. After using this moisturiser for about 6 weeks my skin looks brighter, smoother, and more even-toned. The niacinamide and alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) in this bad boy work together to slough off dead skin cells and promote collagen production, which means fewer fine lines and wrinkles. And let me tell you, my makeup has never looked better on my skin!

But the best part about this moisturiser is how quickly it absorbs into my skin without leaving any greasy residue. It's perfect for wearing under makeup or on its own for a natural glow. And with regular use, I've noticed that my skin feels firmer and more hydrated than ever before.

Overall, I can't recommend Olay Niacinamide + AHA Moisturiser enough. It's affordable, effective, and leaves my skin looking and feeling amazing. Trust me, your skin will thank you!

Pros: - My skin looks brighter and smoother after using this moisturiser for a few weeks. - It absorbs quickly., - Great primer under makeup - It doesn't cause any breakouts or irritation -It's affordable compared to other high-end moisturisers.

Cons: - It might not provide enough hydration for those with dry skin. - The fragrance is a little strong for my liking, but it doesn't linger for too long. - The bottle is a bit small, so you might need to repurchase more often if you use it regularly. - It doesn't contain SPF, so you'll need to apply a separate sunscreen if you're going out during the day.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with this moisturiser! It's effective, affordable, and doesn't cause any adverse reactions on my skin. However, it might not be the best option for those with dry skin or who prefer fragrance-free products. And, of course, it's always important to use a separate sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage.

When I opened the jar and managed to get the inner lid off (no fingernails at the moment and it got stuck) I was greeted by a lightly fruity fragranced white cream. After cleansing, toning, and using the Niacinamide + AHA serum, I applied a light layer of the moisturiser, slightly worried it would slide off my face. To my surprise and delight, it absorbed quickly, leaving my skin feeling light and hydrated. I haven't noticed a big decrease in the dark spots on my face, but I like this product enough to keep using regardless. I only used it at night time because it doesn't have an spf, so maybe twice a day would have helped here? My one complaint is that it doesn't come with a spatula for scooping it out of the jar, so if your fingers aren't completely clean you risk contaminating it.

The packaging for these products is lovely. This pot of moisturiser comes in a lovely pearly pottle with a silver lid. It looks rather glam sitting on the vanity! This moisturiser has a beautiful light texture that absorbs into your skin quickly without leaving your face feeling heavy or greasy. It has a lovely fresh scent. Gives a lovely glow to complexion. I found it helped even my skin tone and I would use this product again.

First off, I really dislike like the Olay jars! Not only because a jar is unhygienic and exposes the cream to oxygen every time you open it and stick your fingers in, but also because these ones have that super-irritating plastic inner lid that seems to vacuum-stick itself on, with only an impossibly tiny handle to help you pry it off. I don’t want to chuck it out, because it’s making the jar more airtight, but it’s a real pain. And the main lid, while pretty, is slippery to get back on when you’ve got creamy fingers.

Right, that’s my little rant about the packaging. The cream itself? Dreamy. The scent is light, faintly fruity but warm, and doesn’t linger long. A pleasurable sensory experience first thing in the morning. The texture is robust but feels quite liquid as you’re applying it, so it glides on beautifully and feels hydrating and soothing on contact. It does absorb, but not completely, which in this case I really like. I hate any sort of sticky, greasy, oily feel on my skin, but this just leaves a comfortable, softly dewy finish. Beautiful. Also, my skin can be sensitive, and I was interested to see how I did with using AHAs for the first time, but there wasn’t the slightest hint of stinging or reactivity. Just pure comfort.

In terms of longer-term benefits... I’ve been using the cream (along with the matching serum) morning and night religiously for six weeks, and my hyperpigmentation hasn’t faded, so I've had to give the cream 4/5 for 'does what it says'. BUT I’ve loved all the other benefits. My skin is dry and ageing, but it’s felt comforted, moisturised, plumped and, yes, dewy. And that lasts all day long. My skin looks and feels as good at the end of the day as it did when I first applied the cream in the morning.

I wish it came in different packaging, but for dry skin that’s a bit dull and lined and even sensitive, this cream is divine and I’d highly recommend trying it.

I have used the Olay Niacinamide + AHA Moisturiser (in combination with Olay Niacinamide + AHA Serum) on a daily basis for a number of weeks now.

I found this moisturiser to be thick and creamy and had a great aroma (similar to Olay Niacinamide + AHA Serum).

This moisturiser absorbed well into my skin, leaving it feeling soft and refreshed.

I do believe my face was brighter, but am not sure that the stubborn spots were reduced (maybe this was happen soon!)

I have a slightly oily face, this moisturiser worked well with my skin and did not clog my pores.

Unfortunately the moisturiser didn't contain sunblock, so that was another cream I had to apply.

I’m so glad I’ve finally found a moisturiser with multi benefits! Moisturising, and with Niacinamide. I use this after using the Olay Niacinamide serum, and I have noticed amazing results in my skin. It is more clear, smooth, and I haven’t had breakouts since using this. I have had compliments on my skin since using this!

One thing I would say is that it is quite a light moisturiser that absorbs quick, and not heavy.

I really enjoyed this moisturiser from Olay. It was a nice consistency - not too thick, and while I don't feel as though I have been using it long enough to see any visible results in discoloration, my skin has been smoother and I've had fewer issues with texture. Given the results so far, I'm keen to keep using this one and see what the longer-term results are!

I love the shape of the jar that this moisturizer comes in, very practical shape with a stunning twister glass look - however was a little bit disappointed there was no spatula. The consistency of the moisturizer would be close to a gel than a thick cream. It absorbs easily into my skin, leaving a slight feeling of dampness which soon sinks in as I carry on with my bathroom routines. The smell is quite a sweet, fruity smell, which doesn't stick around - which is fantastic because lingering scents can give me a headache after a while. I used this moisturizer with its serum and they work very well together as they absorbed quickly and didn't turn into a gooey mess.

I was skeptical at first when the package said it would reduce acne and discoloration, but here we are, 5 weeks on and my skin tone is very nice and smooth. This moisturizer cleared up my skin from any breakouts within a few days of them happening. My skin doesn't feel smoother, but it looks smoother and more consistent. I can't wait to see how my skin is doing after 8 weeks.

I only used a very small amount (20c piece sized amount), twice a day over the last 5 weeks and I still have over half the jar to go. I would say that this product is good value for money. It has made my skin feel wonderful and the discoloration I used to have appears to be gone and the jar seems like it will last me a good 2- 3 months.

This moisturizer comes in a metallic box with easy directions and good information. It comes in a cute jar with a twist top lid. I prefer these over pumps as you can use it all. The moisturizer has a slight fruity fragrance and isn't super thick. It has an almost silky texture. It absorbs quickly into my skin and isn't greasy. I used this in conjunction with the serum and did find over the first couple of weeks my skin was flakey and was ready for more moisturizer by the time I got home. The flakeyness has now gone and my skin is soft and all dry patches that I had have gone. Aside from no more dry patches, my skin feels slightly smoother and maybe a little brighter. I haven't noticed as much change as I had hoped. I would recommend this for the hydration and slightly smoother skin and Will use again.
