Olay Niacinamide + AHA Serum

First off let’s start with the packaging! I love it! The dropper give you the perfect amount of serum everytime! It’s easy to use, looks pretty on your dresser and helps stop product wastage!

Onto the serum itself! I loved it! Not an overly heavy serum and massages into the skin nicely and effortlessly. It does have a scent but nothing too strong and overpowering. After two weeks of consistent use I noticed old pimple scars fading considerably, my skin feeling smoother and redness seemed to lessen.

I easily get irritated skin around my nose and this serum didn’t cause any irritation at all.

Pros:

- My skin looks brighter, smoother, and more even-toned after using this serum for a few weeks. - It absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue, which makes it easy to layer with other skincare products or makeup. - Pores look reduced - It doesn't cause any breakouts or irritation - It's affordable compared to other high-end serums.

Cons: - The bottle is a bit small, so you might need to repurchase more often if you use it regularly. - It doesn't provide intense hydration, so you might need to use an additional moisturizer if you have dry skin. - The scent might be too strong for those who prefer fragrance-free products.

Overall, I think this serum is a great addition to my skincare routine. It's affordable, effective, and doesn't cause any irritation or breakouts. However, it might not provide enough hydration for those with dry skin or who prefer fragrance-free products.

I've used the Olay "pump" bottles before so I wasn't confused by how it works this time, but for new users, it can be a bit confusing the first time. Simply untwist the cap, pump once then open it fully and pump again to dispense(google can help here). The serum itself is slightly fruity smelling, and is a white, semi opaque serum. Non greasy, and applies beautifully. I have noticed a slight decrease in colour some of the dark spots on my face, but they haven't gone completely. I will keep using though and report back if it changes further. I am really liking all the Olay products I have tried so far.

I have been really enjoying this serum alongside the moisturiser from Olay. The texture is great - not too thin, but not too thick or sticky either, and the two products work well together without any pilling. I have noticed that my skin has had a less uneven texture, though I haven't been using this one long enough to notice a reduction in hyper-pigmentation just yet! I'm looking forward to continuing to use the serum/moisturiser combo over the longer term to see if the results compound!

I have been using this serum for about 6 weeks and love it. My skin has a nice healthy glow and I do feel it has helped with some old acne scaring, its looks more faded and less obvious. I do have hyperpigmentation from pregnancy too but at this stage it's too early to tell if it's helping fade that pigment or not. I will definitely keep using the serum to hopefully see results fading that a wee bit too . Firstly the soft silky texture of the serum is amazing. It rubs in so nicely and absorbs well into my skin leaving a nice bright looking glow. After applying, my skin feels super hydrated and soft. I love the packaging sleek and easy to use. The eye dropper applicator is great as it dispenses the perfect amount of product so you don't overuse and waste it. Works well under makeup. Overall I would repurchase, a nice product and does as it claims which is amazing!! X

The packaging for this product was lovely the pearly white bottle with a nice silver lid has a dropper for easy application it looks quite glam. This serum is a nice consistency it didn’t feel sticky on my face and absorbed in nicely it has a yummy fresh scent. I found it quite strong for my sensitive skin so only used once a day in the evening instead of twice. Overall a lovely product which gave my skin a nice glow.

The bottle’s certainly the prettiest of the Olay serum range, all pearly white, and has the clever lid that fills the pipette automatically as you twist it off. Aesthetically pleasing as well as practical and hygienic.

The serum itself smells lovely – faintly fruity but with a warm base – but isn’t overpowering and doesn’t linger long. The texture is a very light, slightly gel-water consistency that spreads easily and absorbs quickly but doesn’t disappear into nothing – which I like, because it leaves my skin feeling moisturised and comfortable but without any stickiness. And it acts as a perfect primer, with following layers going on silky smooth. Also, my skin can be sensitive, and I was interested to see how I did with using AHAs for the first time, but there wasn’t the slightest hint of stinging or reactivity. Just pure comfort.

In terms of longer-term benefits... I used the serum (along with the matching cream) morning and night religiously for six weeks, and it didn’t seem to lighten my hyperpigmentation (I actually took photos before and after to be as ‘scientific’ as possible!), which is why I've had to give it 4/5 for 'doing what it said it would'. And I don't have acne marks, so can't speak to that. But it has definitely impacted the look and feel of my skin for the better. My skin's dry and ageing, but this has left it hydrated, super-soft and fresh-looking, and I’ve loved it.

I use three good drops to cover my face and neck, which is nowhere near a full pipette, so it seems pretty economical.

I have used the Olay Niacinamide + AHA Serum (in combination with Olay Niacinamide + AHA Moisturiser) on a daily basis for a number of weeks now.

The bottle has a great dropper to disperse the serum on to your finger tips! The dropper also prevents too much serum being dispersed.

I found the texture of this serum was thick and creamy, in a nice way and the aroma is gorgeous.

The serum was easily absorbed into my face without leaving an oily layer, no clogging of pores. I have a slightly oily face and this serum didn't make my face any oilier.

Olay have quite a few claims regarding this serum. I definitely found my face brighter, but not sure the dark sports were reduced (maybe more time will tell).

I definitely like this product and the positive effects it has my skin!

Found this serum really improved my skins elasticity and appearance. It didn’t cause any breakouts or skin issues for me. I found the bottle super easy and fun to use. The scent is AMAZING, reminds me of juicy peaches. This also worked super well underneath make up, I found that it really decreased getting dry patches on my face that foundation sticks to throughout the day. I would compare this serum to a lot of my higher end skincare serums, absolutely loved this product.
