Olay Niacinamide + Vitamin C Moisturiser

I've been using Olay products more frequently over the past couple of years so I was really excited to try this product.

The packaging style and design is in line with the type of skin care brands Olay is comparable to. One thing I did not like so much is the size of the outer box. It is quite wide and twice the height of the actual product, so it evoked a disappointed reaction as the actual product looked so much smaller in comparison when I opened it. Otherwise the product itself comes in a really pretty jar which looks great alongside my other skincare products.

The product claims the following results: - Instantly hydrates skin and contains Niacinamide to reduce the look of dark spots. - Penetrates 10 surface layers deep to reveal skin's natural radiant glow. - Fast absorption, non-greasy, suitable for dry/dull skin. - Formulated with: Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) + Vitamin C + Pro-Vitamin B5. It is also formulated without Sulphates, Parabens, Phthalates, Petrolatum or Mineral oils so I was very keen to try it out.

Upon my first application of the product I found it to be a lightweight lotion with a pleasant, light citrus scent. It glided well onto my skin, was easily absorbed and left my skin feeling nice and fresh, not sticky or oily after application. Only a small amount is required and best applied to the face after warming it between your fingertips, for an even application. Being a medium to light, water based type consistency, it would be best suited to those that have a normal to dry skin type, it feels quite hydrating.

My favourite thing about this product that makes it different from other moisturisers is it's very pleasant light citrus scent, it gives a very refreshing feeling. It absorbs well and is not oily at all. A little goes a long way with this moisturiser so no need to apply very much at all. With the 50g size I would estimate this cream would last at least 3 months or more with a daily application.

After using the product every day I do feel my skin is very refreshed and my skin tone and radiance has certainly improved. I do feel there is more of a glow to my skin after daily use.

I would recommend using this product along with the rest of the Olay Niacinamide + Vitamin C range to get the best results of the product range working in harmony together. Overall a very nice, light, fresh feeling day cream which does visibly improve skin texture and glow.

I was great full to receive the Olay Niacinamide Vitamin C Moisturiser to try for a month. I’ve been a long time fan of Olay, and have used various different products over the years.

I stopped using my regular moisturiser and incorporated it into my routine after cleansing my skin morning and evening.

I was keen to try this due to the Niacinamide, as I’ve heard it’s supposed to help with oil control, and the vitamin C for helping with dark spots and skim luminosity.

My first impression is that the jar packaging is lovely, but I would have preferred a pump over jar as it’s easier to use especially when your hands are a bit slippery from the product! The second impression was that it’s very citrus fragranced, and after a month of using I have come to dislike how overpowering the scent is, however it does go away after a few minutes.

The moisturiser consistency is in between a gel and a cream. It absorbed into my skin quickly, and my skin felt very smooth and hydrated. I was hoping the addition of niacinamide would help control oil/shine a bit more, but after a few weeks I have had great brightening results with some dark spots/slight scaring around my mouth lightening. My skin can be slightly sensitive and I found that I did get a slight flush to my skin the first couple of times, but it went away as my skin adjusted to the new product.

My skin looks much brighter and luminous than it did a month ago, and people have complimented how nice my skin is looking lately.

I think overall it’s a really great option for those wanting to add Niacinamide and Vitamin C into their skin routine, but the citrus scent might be off putting if you’re sensitive to fragrence.

I’m keen to see over the coming weeks how more use goes with fading some stubborn dark spots!

This has become my new favourite moisturizer. I like the texture and that it is not a thick consistency it is very light weight and feels nice on the skin not greasy at all. Since i have started using this i have noticed a glow in my skin as my skin was very dull and tired looking and other people have also noticed the glow. My skin was very dry but this has helped so much and i have not had any dry skin patches since using this product. A little goes a long way with this so i feel like this will last for a long time and i will definitely be buying this!

With only using this product for two weeks I cannot see a reduction in my dark spots. However, my skin is hydrated and feels "fresh" My skin is stating to do odd things (pre-menopausal I suspect) and this cream as been great as I am currently battling with a weird dry patch. It isn't irritating it but is hydrating it so it's keeping it at bay for now. There is a pleasant fruity scent and you don't need much as it spreads really well. To the point a little swipe spreads my entire face and even my neck & décolletage.

The only negative is that there is no SPF included in the cream so I'll be using this as a night cream instead I think otherwise it means I have to do one extra application in the morning. But I'm just lazy.

The Olay Niacinamide + Vitamin C Moisturiser does exactly what the description states.

I used this twice a day (day and night) after cleaning my skin. It is so easy to apply as has a soft gel like texture. It glides on easily and just feels amazing.

Each morning that I wake up I feel my skin is softer and when used in conjunction with the vitamin c eye cream, I have definitely noticed some of my fine lines around my eyes decrease.

I love the subtle scent but couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was. Only thing I could liken it to was a light peach scent.

I’ve noticed a distinct improvement in my skin. The skin on my face and neck feels and looks so much brighter & softer.

The price tag is around the $55 mark – this would normally be a little out of my price range but given the results that I have seen already in under a week, I feel like this is going to be the must have product for me over the winter months.

I will definitely be buying this product again even if I have to save my pennies. I highly recommend this product and have suggested my friends consider using it also.

After using this moisturiser for a week, I have noticed my skin looking more brighter. The product is non-greasy, super hydrating and absorbs quickly. A really good quality product. I'm not a fan of the packaging though, as the pot is quite full, I have been having problems opening the inner lid as it sticks very tightly. I love the tropical/fruity scent but this is quite strong so may not be for everybody but I find the scent usually fades after a few minutes.
