Olay Complete UV Lotion Sensitive Skin SPF30 Review

I've always loved Olay products so was excited to try out this product.

This had so much going for it as you can see below:

Has a great bottle - user friendly, comfortable to hold while dispensing the cream, and it has a one pump system meaning you get the right amount of product each time.

Sensitive formula - Has a nice creamy consistency. Not oily and is quite hydrating. No reaction and I think that is because it doesn't appear to have a scent so no perfume that is going to react with your skin.

Overall it was a great product and left my skin feeling soft and hydrated.

Definitely recommend for those with sensitive skin.

The Olay Complete UV Lotion Sensitive Skin SPF30 is definitely a winner! Not only does it provide UVA and UVB protection, it is so lightweight, non greasy, hydrating, smoothing and soothing as well. It’s basically all your daily skincare needs in one generously sized, easy to use bottle. Another plus is that it’s not glass, making it a perfect travel companion. The bottle is definitely a generous size, as mentioned, just it is also quite a good flat shape. I love that the lid is twist to lock. I also love that it’s everything you’d expect from a face sunscreen and so much more - lightweight, non greasy, smoothing, soothing, hydrating.

First impressions - pleasing shaped and sized bottle that would tuck easily into a handbag pocket , ready for top ups - holding lotion that absorbed quickly and easily and left my skin feeling soft not sticky. Although I am now in my 80s I still want/need to protect my fair skin but previous experiences with many SPF creams and lotions have always left a sticky feel and I have needed to resort to using SPF liquid foundations even when I don't feel the need for complete make-up. What joy - unless I am going anywhere special - I can now care for my face and neck with just one very fast and easy application. I felt some slight concern at reading the direction to apply lavishly (surely this small bottle would not last long?) but this was allayed when I found that 2 to 3 small squirts gave ample coverage. I certainly rate this product quite highly and it is only that it is now winter and I can't test it in strong sunlight that my total rating is not 100% It would be good to perhaps have a larger sized bottle available as well.

This product comes well packaged in a cute pump bottle enclosed in a carton with clear instructions ,benefits and ingredients and warnings on the outside of the box. I was really keen to try as I have very sensitive skin and am outside a lot in the garden so the fact that not only is this a moisturiser but has sun protection SPF30 appealed to me greatly. First application I overdid the application and also had not read the warning properly and ended up irritating my eyes however that was my fault as Warning on package clearly states may irritate eyes so do read first. The pump is easy to use and has a good lock on so great if you want to pop in your bag and the lotion is a nice texture with a very faint pleasant scent. With the directions apply liberally and massage in I overdid the first applications but with further use found 3 or 4 pumps sufficient to give plenty of product to massage into my neck and face. The initial feel was a little greasy but after a few minutes the product absorbed nicely into my skin but I would imagine with containing sunscreen this would be expected. With using every day I have found my skin has felt really nice and healthy looking with a very slight sheen which looks good and as I am very bad at appying sunscreen I feel this is a massive benefit over all. I use this moisturiser every day I am outside in the garden but if I am in a hurry to apply my makeup would use another moisturiser as this product needs a few minutes to absorb so hard to apply other make up straight away over top however this is a minor problem as I am sure if you were to apply sunscreen you would also have to allow time for absorption. Although not my favourite moisturiser this is a great everyday protection and at $15 for 75 ml well priced. I am also impressed Olay is a financial supporter of the Skin Cancer Society as this gives me more confidence in the sunscreen aspect of the product.

I must have an SPF in my daily moisturiser, so I was excited to be selected to trial the Olay Complete UV Lotion - thanks BR!

The lotion comes in a lovely bottle with a pump dispenser. One pump of product is enough for coverage for my face, neck and I also used it on my hands.

The product is nice and light - the scent reminds me of a subtle sunscreen type of smell. Not overly perfumed which is good. Using around the eye area I also didn't get any product stinging that I sometimes do with a sunscreen product.

Applying the lotion, it definitely has characteristics of a face sunscreen (it goes on a little whiter than a moisturiser) - but it's not heavy and it doesn't leave that white sunscreen residue behind - it blends in instantly.

It applies really smoothly, and is very light on the skin and absorbs really quickly. You don't have to spend any extra time blending it into your skin. The finish is not greasy/shiny, just lightly moisturised.

Being so light, and non-greasy makeup applied over top wasn't an issue. My skin felt adequately nourished and protected.

I also mixed the lotion with a long wear foundation, that I'd found a little drying as just a foundation, and created a nice coverage BB cream using the lotion and it applied really nicely too!

It's a great lotion for the price. A good level of SPF protection. It would be full marks for this review if it was SPF50+ - that's a personal preference for my pale skin and our harsh sun!

I LOVE the fact that this has a higher Spf than a lot of other facial moisturisers especially as I live in a very sunny summer climate. I found this product easy to use and light and non greasy. I used 2 pumps to apply to my face as I like to use plenty of moisturser on my face. I couldn't detect any fragrance so I like that in a face cream or a light fragrance only. The pump lid was able to be closed off easily to slip in my make up bag with no leakage. The container is a handy size that I like as I shower daily at the gym and dont like to carry large bottles of products. I think it is a good value for money product although I can't vouch for the spf in it as it is winter at the moment but I will check that out in the coming summer

What’s not to love about this moisturiser, it’s light weight, fragrance free, great for sensitive skin and has the amazing SPF 30.

I’ve really enjoyed using this product, it sits well under my daily make up. I loved the pump as it made getting product out. I did find having dry skin I had to use 2 pumps for my face and neck.

Olay is affordable and available in most supermarkets.

This product arrived in simple user friendly packaging, cardboard box, simple instructions, with the product in a pump type plastic bottle. This one pump system, is ideal , for dispersing the product , with little to no mess, and was easy to handle, and pleasing to the eye. I’ve put this product through quite a few challenges, using it out in the air out the back of the farm with strong winds rushing on by, and not once did I feel like I was “drying out”, in fact for a change there was no wind burn, the formulation is non greasy and light, meaning for me that it didn’t have a heavy feel most products have, the sun protection factor gave me the boost to be confident out in the sun and this product lived up to that expectation. I chose to wear it out on the boat, and again there was no running from the sun, and the product stayed on my face despite the adversity of sea water splashing on by, No perfume meant I didn’t get a itchy face, and that’s a bonus for me, Overall, non greasy, easy to use, versatile, and pleasant would sum this ideal product up for me!

I've used another Olay product similar to this before which I've had no trouble with, same packaging (unfortunately can't remember the name) so I have no trouble with it. It feels light to put on and none-greasy, no fragrance I could detect, although we only get 2 weeks to test this and it's in the middle of winter, so I can't vouch for its SPF component, TBA! Generally great for everyday use.

Finally an SPF moisturiser that doesn't smell strongly like sunscreen! I'm very fair skinned and know I should wear a sunscreen based product year round, but the strong sunscreen smell of all the products I have come across has been enough to put me off each time. I'm grateful to have been able to trial this product and will definitely be buying it after my bottle runs out. Regarding the SPF factor, I thought it was only fair to provide a 4/5 rating for the "Did it do what it said it would" as it's winter and I can't accurately test if the SPF factor has worked or not, but in all other areas I have no complaints. I love the non-greasy feel of it on my skin, the easy/quick absorption times and it definitely hasn't clogged my pores as other products have done in the past - it's light enough to wear under my foundation without it feeling like it's weighing my face down which is great. I use three to four pumps of the product and it's plenty to do my face, neck and cleavage/chest, so it does go a long way. Overall I'm extremely happy with this product and won't hesitate to keep it in my beauty regime going forward.
