Really Nice!

Comes in a nice cute wee bottle with a pump nozzle that turns to turn on and off. Nice and compact size to just chuck in your handbag or makeup bag. The product feels nice applied on, dries quick doesn’t feel sticky. For something that has a spf 30, there’s no major shine like sunscreens have. For someone whose skin can be sensitive, I haven’t had any reactions using this. My skin is a lot nicer and youthful looking since I’ve been using this. I will definitely buy in future. Such a nice facil moisturiser. I love it!

Tips: Apply daily for best results. Apply prior to any makeup application as a base, or for moisture.

Sensitive and sensible sun protection

I was picked to trial this by BR on a trial team. Looking after your skin is so important and one of the best things you can do is protect it from the sun. I am ashamed to admit that even with all the effort I put into my skincare I still wasn't regularly using sunblock on my face. I have a thing about sunblock, to be quick I really dislike it on my skin, especially my face! This product has changed all of that for me. It is a nice moisturiser that you almost don't know has SPF 30 in ti. The consistency and texture of the product is exactly what you expect from a moisturiser. There is a slight scent to the product but, and this is important, it doesn't smell like sunblock! It goes nicely onto my skin and sinks in well. As claimed it does not feel greasy on my skin and I tend to have more oily skin to begin with. I usually have a settling in period with any new skincare product, especially moisturisers, but I haven't had the usual breakout and unsettled skin with this one. My skin quite likes it and it's perfect timing for summer to get myself in the routine of wearing sunblock on my face everyday, not just in summer! The packaging of this product is a functional plastic pump bottle. It dispenses the right amount of product onto your finger and you don't have to put your fingers in the product like if it was in a jar. I've really enjoyed using this product, it's been great for sensitive skin and I am going to continue using it in the future.

One Word. WOW.

My daughter is constantly nagging me about wearing sunscreen. I know I should. I work with the eldery and so many of them are suffering from skin cancer - its a real epidemic here in NZ. And yet, I confess, I hate wearing sunscreen. In fact I only do so during summer, on those really hot days.

To make my beauty crime worse - I have sensitive skin that is prone to redness. And yet I can't get over hating sunscreen on my face. The greasy, oily feeling, The residue. The smell.

The Olay UV Lotion is a generous factor 30 and is marketed for sensitive skin. It says its moisturising, but as I've yet to find a sunscreen that seems to absorb, I confess. I wasn't expecting much.

But inside this cute little pump bottle lies the sunscreen holy grail. This is quite literally a high protection sunscreen, in a beautifully formulated moisturiser. Its creamy, but quite thin, so it spreads far, and you don't need to slip, slap, slop it on, to get a decent coverage. In saying that, as it was a trial for sunscreen, I also wasn't stingy with the product. One pump just seems to go really far. 2 pumps was a generous amount for my face and neck.

It doesn't smell overly sunscreen-y. Another benefit.

Winter is being quite kind down south - we're having t-shirt weather days and the sun is really quite strong at times. Probably due to the fact my skin hasn't been abused badly by the weather - I found this product more than hydrating enough for me to use solo as my daily moisturiser. In colder, more bitter conditions, I'd probably need to add in an extra moisturising layer.

But I will be repurchasing this and I will continue to use daily - rain or shine.

Daughter stop nagging now.

a moisturiser like no other!

I really like this Olay’s complete defence moisturiser!

It really catered to my sensitive skin, having no breakouts after using it religiously - day and night! I like how it has an applicator which makes it very easy to use with its light consistency. This moisturiser is also very compact, quite easy to travel with. It also doesn’t have a strong smell to it which is more favourable to me. The SPF30 is just an added bonus! The price is reasonable for its great quality! Highly recommended!

Hip hip Olay!

I've always wanted to use Olay because it ALWAYS tests and rates well but it's just never been a fit for me. However, this is the first time I haven't broken out, had dry or greasy skin with Olay moisturiser. So props for this product that is a great sunscreen too because it's even harder to find a gentle, sensitive, non-greasy cream. All good, nice and light, but moisturising, not greasy, no white face after, no smell. Excellent, and at such a great price.

I applied on top of my normal moisturiser and it still wasn't greasy. Really enjoyed this product.

My everyday

I love this product.

My skin is very sensitive, dry and super easily burnt in the sun. This does not flare up my skin at all, hydrates it very well and the best part is I dint have to use a separate sunscreen! It has SPF 30 so perfect for those hot summer days. The only downside is it is a little greasy when you first put it on but it soaks in within 10 minutes.

The packaging is very simple but this is fine as it is a very affordable product!

Tips: Make sure you mousturise your chest and neck too! They age quickly from sun exposure.

Affordable, effective skincare

This is a light weight, non greasy moisturiser that lays well under concealer and foundation. The pump distributes the appropriate amount of product with minimal mess. I work outdoors and this product sufficiently protects me from the damaging sun.

Tips: Wiping the spout of the pump after each use will prevent product from collecting in this area.

I love this sunscreen

This is one of the best sunscreens out there. I have sensitive skin and it leaves my skin feeling mouiserized and protected a the same time. It doesn’t have that oily feeling like most sun screens it comes in a great little bottle with pump which is perfect for in the car or your handbag. Perfect for on my face

Sun sense

I really rate this sunscreen. I have worn a sunscreen almost every day since I was about 13 and most of the times it’s been an olay sunscreen as it’s so readily available and affordable.

I prefer this over olays other spf sunscreens as it’s specifically for sensitive skin and has a pump!! Whereas their other spf is in a larger bottle but has a screw top lid. So for the slight increase in price I actually don’t mind picking this over the other.. both work wonders.

It’s a nice light formula but I don’t think it lasts as long as my LRP or skinnies sunscreens that are also for sensitive skin but it’s always nice to have an spf on in the morning even under my makeup or with plain bare skin as that’s when I’m most active so that’s when it it most important to me. So if I just get a mornings use out of it im happy with that.. spf wears off over that day and needs reapplication any how so it’s actually not a problem. If you anticipate you will be in high sun exposure always reapply no matter what.

It’s light and applies and spreads well, it is non greasy and rather scentless. It is quite easily removed or sweated off so that’s why I think my other sunscreens last longer but for the price and availability it’s actually a really good pick.

Light, non reactive, SPF included

After what feels like trying a million moisturizers in my lifetime of sensitive yet acne prone skin, I’m finally happy with this product. It’s light, yet provides enough moisture and I love that it includes sunscreen

Tips: Often on sale at the warehouse
