Olay Complete UV Lotion Sensitive Skin SPF30 Review

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!

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

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.

Holy crap, so good. I tried this after trying nearly every other fave sunscreen on the market. Everything breaks me out. I have sensitive, acne prone, oily combination skin prone to big blocked pores and occasional cystic acne. The only moisturiser I can use is LRP but their sunscreens break me out. This is beautiful as it’s both a moisturiser and a sunscreen. Feels better than LRP on my face. Keeps my skin clear, and sits well under makeup. My makeup is flawless with this underneath. And it’s cheap as chips. I spend so much money on LRP moisturisers as they come in tiny tubes that I use up in 3 weeks.

Sunscreen is probably the only consistent thing in my life. I religiously apply sunscreen every morning as long as it's not raining outside. I was quite excited to review this, because the other Olay items I've used before were all pretty darn good!

To start off, the packaging is really cute, with a pump that can be twisted into a shut/locked position. This makes it perfect for the handbag so I can reapply on the go. I was a little surprised by how little product you get though, considering supermarket suncreen is way cheaper for much more volume.

The texture is on the thin side, so it spreads very easily. One pump is perfect for my face, but I like to put some on my neck too so I did an extra pump. It was to easy rub in and felt light when wearing it. It felt moisturing and had no unpleasant odor. But immediately I noticed my face looking extremely oily. Not like the usual 'glowing dewy skin', but full on lathered baby oil on my face kind of oily. My usual natio sunscreen also gives me a bit of unwanted shine, but not as bad as this. I tried patting it in a bit more, but nope, there's just this stubborn layer of shinyness that floats on top of my face. A little disgruntled, I let it sit for 5 minutes, hoping that it'll absorb in and look a bit more subtle. But in the end I had to use an oil blotting paper and then apply transluscent powder over top.

In terms of sun protection I'd assume it's doing its job. I always wear a hat when I'm out in direct sunlight and try avoid too much sun if possible (I burn like a vampire) so I can't actually vouch for whether it protects you from the rays of a mid-day sun. But for everyday use when you're only in the sun for short amounts of time this should be sufficient.

Overall this isn't too bad, but my current sunscreen is much less greasy looking and packs a better bang for your buck. So I wouldn't go out and purchase this.

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.

First impressions - pleasing shaped and sized bottle that would tuck easily into a handbag pocket , ready for top ups - holding lotion that absorbed quickly and easily and left my skin feeling soft not sticky. Although I am now in my 80s I still want/need to protect my fair skin but previous experiences with many SPF creams and lotions have always left a sticky feel and I have needed to resort to using SPF liquid foundations even when I don't feel the need for complete make-up. What joy - unless I am going anywhere special - I can now care for my face and neck with just one very fast and easy application. I felt some slight concern at reading the direction to apply lavishly (surely this small bottle would not last long?) but this was allayed when I found that 2 to 3 small squirts gave ample coverage. I certainly rate this product quite highly and it is only that it is now winter and I can't test it in strong sunlight that my total rating is not 100% It would be good to perhaps have a larger sized bottle available as well.
