Olay’s regenerist collagen peptide 24 serum is a concentrated serum with a light texture that hydrates the skin for 24 hours while smoothing the skin and improving its bounciness.
Olay says it instantly plumps, visibly firms and smooths fine lines with collagen peptide and niacinamide, which deeply penetrates into the epidermis layer of the skin.
The product comes in Olay’s tamper resistance pack and the serum is packaged in Olay’s typical serum bottle.
The bottle has a twist top with an eyedropper inside that collects product. I have used their bottles before and found they were ok, but this particular one seemed to collect less product, which meant I had to collect the product a few times during application.
I did, however, really like the red gradient on the bottle’s exterior. It looked classy and expensive.
The serum was lightweight and absorbed into the skin well. It looked to smooth lines during application, but once it melted into the skin, the effect was gone.
All in all a silky smooth serum in a classy bottle.
I’ll start with the positives! This serum is a lovely consistency, it’s silky, smooth and applies to the skin easily without feeling sticky or oily. But that’s pretty much where it ends for me.
At first the packaging seemed quite innovative and easy to use but it really wasn’t. The twisty pump is fiddly and doesn’t always work. I would have preferred a regular pump that dispenses the correct amount of product each time.
This serum does not mix well with any of the other products in my skin care routine so I had to stop using them all while I tried this product (I’ve also reviewed the matching cream which is the only product that does apply with no issues).
It also left a light film on my face sort of like a primer which is fine but is also the reason I couldn’t use my other skin care products as it ended up separating with gooey streaks.
For the two weeks that I trialled this product I didn’t notice any changes in my skin, if anything it felt drier and quite tight in the mornings. I would only recommend this serum to those with oily skin looking for a serum that feels nice. But that’s about it unfortunately!
Tips: If you find this serum doesn’t play nicely with your skin care routine then I would recommend getting the matching cream.
