Olay Complete UV Lotion Sensitive Skin SPF30 Review

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 was fortunate to be chosen to review this product, just in time for mid-winter when my skin seems to be needing all the moisturising help it can get.

First up is the bottle it comes in, it’s a great size, it will slot nicely into your bag if necessary and the twist top on/off pump-action is great for travellers, no messy leaks to be found here. It has a very light scent, nothing to offend and not over-powering in any way. Pump action bottles always leave me indecisive, a) I know some people don’t like dipping their fingers day after day into pots, but at least you can get all the product out and there’s no wasteage, b) some pump action bottles are great at getting most of the product out of the bottom, some not so much. Unfortunately due to the time limit on testing this I can’t give an answer on this burning question.

It’s lovely to apply, it leaves an almost cooling sensation when applied to the skin and for me the big plus is that it absorbs really quickly, so only a few minutes waiting-around-time before applying primer/foundation etc. When not applying any makeup over the top, it does leave your skin feeling moisturised all day, great for the weekends when it’s a no make-up and pj zone in my house. The SPF30 is a big plus in my book, so I will definitely be looking at purchasing again.

I was given this product to trial and was very pleased for two reasons - the first is that I love Olay and the second is that I'm on the lookout for a good SPF moisturiser with spring approaching.

This product comes in a cute plastic pump bottle with Olay branding. Simple, and easy to use, it is 75ml and great for purses, glove boxes or work desks.

The lotion itself is quite thick, which I like a lot. It absorbs quickly into my skin, which I also like, and doesn't leave any red or blotchy patches - another tick. It claims to be a light, non greasy formula, which it is, that has ingredients that absorb quickly into the skin to replenish moisture, without leaving skin greasy. I say this is completely true.

I already have a favorite day lotion that has never been topped. The primary feature that makes it unique to me, is the silky feel it leaves on my skin once applied. This product leaves a similar silky feeling, and my skin feels very soft after using it. I take the advice to 'use liberally' very seriously, as I have a tendency to use a lot of products more liberally than is recommended. I have dry skin though and don't want to leave any patch untended.

I like this lotion very much. I can't speak for whether or not the SPF30 does what it should, being in the south and being winter, but I'm glad to see a day lotion that has it. It is certainly gentle for sensitive skin too.

At $15, I think the price is very good. I do recommend it and think it has something for everyone.

This little product packs a little bit of punch! What I mean by that is that I had low expectations of a drugstore SPF daily moisturiser. For me, I need a lot of moisturiser and this has a lot to do with this time of year. It's winter and my skin is super hydrated. I think that in summer, when I need an SPF that packs power on the daily, this is going to be my jam. In summer I'm not so dehydrated from going to air conditioned offices to heated cars and back again. Instead I'll be enjoying the heat and my skin will be in great shape and this moisturiser will be perfect. If I compare to the Aveeno daily moisturiser 30spf then this feels less thick, but it feels more creamy if that makes sense. If I had to pick between the two then Olay would win every time.

I don't want to over promise on this one, but given that I'm in the midst of the winter dryness desert I can only estimate that this product is going to be awesome in the summer. And because it's available in the supermarkets it's super accessible and won't cost the earth. Also for someone who is medium deep skin toned like me, this won't give you a white cast to the skin. Yes!!!!

By the way, I've tested this under makeup and it's a great smooth canvas for the makeup to go over.

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.

I have used this product everyday since I recieved it, so for just under 2 weeks now :)

The packaging is a cute small bottle with a pump top - for easy, mess free application, it has a very slight smell - similar to that of sunscreen, but its not overpowering.

My skin is on the drier side so I use 1.5 pumps for a full face and neck application, sometimes 2 pumps if im feeling a littler drier than usual. The moisturiser goes on smoothly and blends in well, I do find the finish to feel a little tacky, so I like to go make a coffee or do something else before appying my foundation, when the moisturiser is left to settle I find my foundation applies beautifully with no streaks or other issues.

The only downside to this product for me was that I notice a stinging of the eyes when applied too closely, so I do try to avoid the eye area.

I was so excited to be selected for this trial, being in my *cough* 40's sunscreen was never something that I grew up incorporating into my beauty routine much to my regret :( Now that I'm a grown up I've tried several face sunscreens that always seemed to make my face either break out, look like an oil slick or both! Olay Complete UV Lotion gets close but still the search still continues. I love the packaging of the product, huuuuge fan fan of a pump bottle so you get what you need without having to scoop product out with your fingers! The lotion itself is a good thickness, I could detect a slight sunscreen fragrance but that's probably my hypersensitive nose! I used two pumps for my face and neck, added another if my skin felt very dry and that was plenty so the smaller than expected bottle will last quite a while. This is where it falls down for me unfortunately. The lotion sat quite heavy and shiny on my face and didn't absorb very well. If I applied any less my face felt dry so it's a very fine line! I got into the habit of applying the lotion then going and having breakfast so whatever hadn't absorbed after breakfast could be blotted away before applying my face for the day. This worked well but it's not something that I could do everyday as I like my sleep too much! That's really the only thing that would stop my repurchasing this product as the size of the bottle and the idea of the product are ideal for me!
