Olay Niacinamide + Vitamin C Moisturiser

I had been dying to try a Vitamin C based product since reading about it on Beauty Review. I was so pleased to have the opportunity to try it out for myself. The first thing I noticed was the beautiful bottle. Although it's not essential for me, it does have an air of luxury to it which makes me feel nice. The citrus scent was subtle and pleasant and I was happy that it did include a scent as I feel it added to the experience of using a Vitamin C product. The formula was non-sticky and easily absorbed and for the first week I felt a noticeable "tightening" sensation which made me feel like it was really working. After 5 days I noticed a brighter appearance on my skin and it felt hydrated. It only took 11 days to notice the skin on my neck to appear improved and two weeks for the lines around my mouth to reduce. I genuinely enjoyed the soft, dewy appearance of just wearing the lotion on its own but it did bother me that it wasn't SPF and I often forgot to apply a layer of sunscreen over the top. However, this is the only downside for me. I loved using this product and will be including it in my permanent collection.

I really enjoy using Olay products as they feel very luxurious but are easily available at the supermarket. This lightweight yet nourishing moisturiser was no exception. Unfortunately this did break me out on my chin (as most Vitamin C products tend to do) . I did continue using it everywhere except my chin and took it down to my chest. The packaging is lovely and weighty so feels high end and would be easy to travel with as it’s quite solid. I did drop this on the floor and it didn’t leak or chip. This cream is quite heavily fragranced although it doesn’t last once applied it is definitely stronger in scent many of their other products. It smells a bit like apricot but in a more synthetic form. After one application I noticed a glow but unfortunately it was a bit too glowy for my oily/combination skin but would definitely be nice when my skin is on the drier side in winter or for anyone with normal to dry skin. I have been using this on my chest twice a day as I have quite a lot of sun damage from working outside most days. This has definitely improved the look of my skin and I really tho it’s made a difference to the dark sun spots there too. I would recommend this product but not for anyone that is acne prone or sensitive to Vitamin C. I do think I’ll purchase this again if only to use on my décolleté because it’s made such a difference to my skin.

I have used this for a few weeks now, found that it’s definitely brightened my skin while leaving it feeling hydrated! I also like that it isn’t too heavy, like I can put it on and go to the gym in the morning and it doesn’t block my pores etc. the texture is a bit more like a gel than a cream, but I like it! And smells really citrusy too!

I’m not a fan of product that have a lot of packaging the box has all the ingredients and instructions printed on it. Normal style olay pottle I like the swirl on it as it’s a bit different.

Thick white cream I didn’t really notice any scent to it would love it if it can with a small scoop or a pump top especially with long nails.

It definitely leaves my skin feeling hydrated and I don’t feel like I need to reapply like other products I’ve tried. You don’t need a lot and It doesn’t feel heavy on the skin. While i have not yet skin more hydrated I haven’t noticed any difference to sunspots which hopefully might change with longer use. Nice combination with the eye cream, would love a matching serum to go with them.

A really lovely cream to use. The packaging is fairly standard Olay packaging, but it looks smart and the colours are nice and go with the citrus fragrance and ingredients. It has an inner lid which is good because the product doesn't get all over the outside lid so keeps the pot clean and easy to use (especially when travelling and the pot is upside down). The fragrance is a soft and refreshing citrus smell that is not overpowering and makes you feel refreshed and happy. The cream itself is super light and non greasy. It goes on really easy and absorbs well into the skin so my face wasn't oily afterwards. You don't need a lot, so the cream lasts a long time. I have used it religiously day and night for the past 3 - 4 weeks and i have only used about half a pot. I love that it is a day and night cream which limits the amount of bottles I have in the cupboard and was great to travel with - it definitely simplified my routine. And its a great price too. I also love that it is not full of nasties. I have an autoimmune condition, so that fact that it doesnt have sulphates and parabens etc is a definite winner for me. As far as results go - I have just turned 50, so my skin can be dry and has a lot of dark spots appearing now. The cream definitely gave me a healthy glow and hydrated my skin. My skin feels soft and supple in the morning and seems to stay hydrated all day, but I didn't find that it reduced the look of dark spots on my face at all. Overall it is a really lovely cream that is easy to use and made me feel refreshed and healthy. I would definitely recommend to a friend.

I have been loving the Olay products recently and was so excited to try this one.

I love the smell of this moisturiser, it is heavily scented but it’s not too strong and I do like the smell.

It is extremely moisturising and blends into the skin really well, it doesn’t leave the skin looking oily.

I use this under my makeup and this has not interfered with the longevity of my makeup.

I have noticed an improvement in my skins texture and brightness. My dark spots appear lighter and less visible.

The only downside of this product is the jar, it’s quite heavy making it difficult to travel with however that’s just a small negative and I can work around this.

All in all I would happily continue using this as an everyday moisturiser

I think this could be my new go to moisturiser - I am really impressed with how my skin feels and looks after using this for just over three weeks. I have noticed that my skin looks and feels smoother and clearer, and there is a definite glow. This is pretty amazing considering the weeks that I trialed this product were pretty stressful and I would usually look pretty tired and dehydrated after this much coffee and lack of sleep! So in terms of results, I am very impressed.

The product itself is a lovely texture, almost a cream/gel hybrid, and it feels lovely on my face. It was a great base for my other products, and didn't pill at all. It has a citrus scent, which I actually love. I am not always a fan of scented products, but this was such a fresh and clean smell.

Overall, a great product that I will buy again.

This is my new favourite face cream! The gel like cream smoothed easily on to my skin and absorbed quickly, perfect for under make up. It has a soft refreshing fragrance and my skin felt and looked hydrated straight away, fine lines were less noticeable. My skin was more radiant after the first use and over time my skin is brighter, more even toned and smooth. I will be definitely purchasing more and I highly recommend this product.

I love this product! The smell is absolutely divine and my face feels super fresh when using it! The smell is tropical and takes me back to a childhood memory and I can smell it for a while after applying it. It is a really nice cream that is just the right consistency, not too thick, not too thin, and spreads far and wide so you really don't need to use much at all to cover your face! It's easy to use being in a jar and you know your going to get all of the product out of the packaging before you discard it. There's nothing worse than knowing there's still heaps at the bottom that you can't get to!! My face feels fresh for quite a while after using it and I use it day and night in my skincare routine. The product should last quite a while given how little you need to actually apply each time. The packaging is really nice, it is definitely something Olay know how to do well! It's not the cheapest product but it does go the mile so I would say it's pretty good value for money and you can't put a price on that fresh feeling! I would definitely recommend this product as the smell and the feel and the excitement of using it is well worth it!

Lovely decent size tub of moisturiser. Feels lovely to put in your skin. Spreads easily, not oily at all. After 3-4 weeks use my skin is feeling “plump” just lovely to touch. The one big negative for me is there is no SPF in it. Otherwise lovely to use
