Olay Niacinamide + Vitamin C Moisturiser

I love vitamin c and niacinimide in general, put them in a moisturizer and we have a potential powerhouse!! The packaging looks so good but, boy, was it hard to open! Not kidding, I could not get into the box (yes, I could have walked all of the way down stairs for scissors), but it was late :) Once I did see the tub, it was gorgeous! The swirl was so pretty! The moisturizer itself has quiet a strong smell but feels so nice on my skin. I've been using it for 7 days now and I'm not sure if it's making a y huge difference long term but find my skin feeling subtle all day long. Will continue to use and cross my fingers that I have long term results

This moisturiser has a gel kind of consistency. It's quite light and absorbs quickly into the skin. My skin always feels moisturised and not tacky. I'm not sure if this really did much to make my skin brighter or glow, but it's a cheap alternative to other niacinimide or vitamin c products out there. It smells quite nice, not sure what the smell is but it's nice :) Perhaps avoid this if you don't like fragrance in your skincare.

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 really like the style of the jar this came in it was cute, the only issue I did have was trying to get the little white cover off the cream, this was quite hard and I felt like I was going to spill it everywhere. I do prefer something with a pump. The product was silky feeling and smelt nice. It is as to apply to the skin and came with well written instructions on how to use it, and I really liked that it recommended to use spf with it.

This is a nice moisturiser with a subtle mango scent. It absorbs quickly and is nice and light, yet still hydrating. I have been using it for about 3 weeks, and my skin complexion has just started to look like it's evening out a bit. I haven't noticed any brightening affect, but its possible I would with continued use. Overall, it's a good moisturiser that I might purchase again, but it's nothing extraordinary that I'd actively seek out. However, since I'm just starting to see the affects it's having on my complexion, it's possible there would be more visible results with continued use.

I like the packaging and when I opened the pottle the fragrance is nice and refreshing, not overpowering. Unfortunately for me I find this moisturiser too watery and I actually don't find it hydrates my skin very well. I prefer a thick moisturiser.
