I love this. It's not greasy. It soaks in fast, gives just enough for my oily skin, and doesn't smell or irritate my skin.

Bought this looking for a cheap, easy moisturizer to put on after wiping down my face in the morning. Seriously think that putting water on my face moisturizes it more, as this soaks in immediately and does not last. Half way through the day I had more dry flaky patches than in the morning. Plus, I broke out on my forehead where I never break out. Positives: cheap, bottle was sanitary and easy to get as much product as I needed. Negatives: did not moisturize enough, broke me out. Will not repurchase.

This gave me pimples upon pimples upon pimples. However, it is the only moisturiser I've used which didn't cause my skin to feel itchy and tight. So if you have dry, sensitive skin which isn't acne-prone this is probably perfect for you.

Olay's BEAUTY FLUID is a simple, but effective moisturizer. It doesn't battle against wrinkles or give you a facelift, but if you are looking for a unscented moisturizer that delivers effective moisturizing results, that is affordable and isn't greasy or heavy on your skin then you've come to the right place.


I've been using this daily on and off for a little while now and not only does my naked skin look noticeably more radiant, but it hasn't flaked at all. I haven't changed any other product in my skincare regime. Since using this I haven't suffered from additional breakouts, or had any itches or rashes on my dry and sensitive skin.


I would would like to shop around for something that both hydrates my skin AND smooth my fine lines WITHOUT irritating my skin, but for the price BEAUTY FLUID is a good buy.

So pleased with this product. I have found with Olay since there are soooooo many formulations with different packaging its really important to read the ingredients list. This is the list you want to be looking for! Full of good good stuff and although my product is in a 6 ounce bottle and this shows a jar type - the ingredients are exactly the same. This is one of the most affordable products that Olay makes..... it would be such an improvement to throw a pump on this. My dry, red and sensitive skin is thanking me for finally finding the right product. I have monthly acne on my chin - other than that no acne to speak of. I have alot of redness and truly believe this is helping to calm it. Have been using for 2 months now and its become my HG. Again my best advice when shopping around Olay's giant product selection is scour that ingredient list for this particular formulation and I am sure you red, dry, moody skin will thank you for it.

This moisturizer is a great option to consider if you want a multipurpose product that is lightweight, fragrance free, and has good ingredients. I first bought this product in late 2009 since I needed some extra moisture for my face due to dry winter weather. My skin felt moisturized and soothed, and did not cause any breakouts that I can recall. This product is a bit plain but does contain a good amount of niacinamide, an excellent ingredient for skin health. The one downside is that on occasion, it does feel a bit heavy on my skin and can leave a shiny appearance. Still, this is a good product worthy of my money and an inexpensive option for those with sensitive skin that tends to get dry on occasion. Side note: The pictured product is in a jar, think the actual product comes in a four or six ounce bottle.

I've used this for about a year, as it is so gentle on my rosacea. It is a light lotion texture that sinks in and hydrates very well. But it does leave a slight residue despite saying "non greasy" on box. My skin gets really oily by afternoon and also I always have clogged pores on my tzone. I think this is def causing them, so am looking for new moisturizer. if ur skin is dry and very sensitive this is perfect tho.

I have oily combination skin that is acne prone, but not particularly sensitive. I've been looking for a cheap and effective moisturizer that wouldn't break me out, for a while. I use it in combination with Olay Purifying Mud Cleanser, which is just a great cleanser for oily skin. It is a light moisturizer, so it probably wouldn't work for a dry skin, but it leaves my oily skin smooth and hydrated for the entire day.

I am surprised to see negative reviews on this product but I guess everyones' skin is different. I have very sensitive skin and this moisturizer works very well for me. It is not too heavy and it has helped clear up acne. As well, I used to get eczema on my face sometimes but this seems to ward it off. I have actually had people ask me what I am using for moisturizer as my skin looks healthier.

I have to warn anyone who is even slightly acne prone. This will break you out and cause horrible acne!! I have sensitive acne prone skin and my face was pretty much clear until day 3 of using this face lotion when i broke out all over my entire face. I had a wedding to go to and wanted my skin to look top notch so i went out and bought a moisturizer because i wanted my skin to be hydrated and glow. It was a little dry from being out in the sun. I made sure to look for something that said it wouldnt cause irritation or clog pores. Well you would not believe it but the day before the wedding my skin started to break out and the morning of the wedding my face had cystic acne.I was horrified and crying that my skin was all messed up and i went to the wedding and was completely embarrassed and of course avoided any pictures. I had tons of cystic bumps and whiteheads. This lotion says on the bottle "won't clog pores". Companies flat out lie. This does in fact have pore clogging ingredients in it. It wasnt until someone else on here pointed that out that i further researched the ingredients on the box. i threw $9 in the trash basically and ruined my week over this. i hate olay! well, it is now a week after i stopped using this olay lotion and my skin is finally getting back to normal. Now the bumps are mostly gone and are healing up but now im left with the hyperpigmentation spots. Please girls remember to read ingredients before putting anything on your skin. That is the lesson i learned from this. If you google search "pore clogging ingredients" you will find some places that have a list of what to stay away from.

This product used to be available under a different name. Alot of stores used to carry it. Since they renamed it (which wasn't really necessary), it has become very hard to find locally. I was actually able to find it one day at a Big Lots store.

I have sensitive, combination-to-oily, acne-prone skin. I have to be careful about what i put on my face. I always have to worry about possibly getting an allergic reaction or bad breakouts from a product.

This product is 100% fragrance free, rather lightweight in consistency, and 100% oil-free. This product is a good hydrater and it does provide a level of light exfoliation (due to the niacinamide in it). However, this product does make my face look more oilier throughout the day. And, I do feel that even though this product is 100% oil-free, it still has the ability to clog my pores.

I truly don't find anything special about this moisturizer. Therefore, I don't plan to give it any more tries.

This does exactly what I need it to do. I was looking for a night moisturizer to hydrate my skin after treating with benzoyl peroxide, and this is perfect. It moisturizes and makes my skin soft and smooth. I don't wake up any more with a lined, dehydrated face. My acne even seems to heal a little better! Also, there is no fragrance in this to irritate my eyes. I will make the special trip to Target and spend a little more to repurchase. This is my HG night face lotion. I recommend it to anyone who needs to counteract the drying effects of acne treatments.

Worst moisturizer I have ever used. After putting it on, if I touch my face, in the area I touched there would be white crumbles of the dried moisturizer coming off my face. It was horrible because if I wanted to put makeup on then every time I swiped my face with a makeup brush there would be more white crumbs/flakes on my skin. My skin did feel hydrated though and it did not break my out. I just don't understand how my face could be hydrated if the product is just drying up on the surface and flaking off.

I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this yet?!?! This lotion is beyond perfection! I'm sad that they discontinued stocking this in walmart. Luckily I found some at super target near me. I'm always looking out for this wherever I go bc this is my holy grail lotion. I've tried the cream, it wasn't bad at all but I prefer the fluidy lotion. I've gotten a lot of compliments lately about my skin (from a sephora beauty consultant and a beautician doing a mini facial). They always say how my skin is glowing, and it has everything to do with this lotion. Some people that reviewed this lotion on here may think its looks greasy, but honestly who always wants a chalky face (that's what matte foundation is for!) all the time? Prior to trying this, I tried neutrogena's oil-free lotion. Let me tell you that stuff was a chockful of silicone. Those of you using benzoyl peroxide out there to treat acne, I'd suggest this since you don't ever want to dry out your skin. Moisturizer for me is the #1 thing I can't live without. I don't even know what I'd do with out this lotion. Good thing about it is I can buy it online at sasa.com or drugstore.com. So far I've got four backups. Those of you out there that don't like this lotion can swap it with me :) :) :)

I do like this product a lot! I put it on under my eyes, on my cheeks and forehead after washing my makeup off at night. It is very moisturizing and I like how it is fragrance -free....it's not irritating at all. It just makes your skin feel hydrated and yet not oily.
I think I actually love it rather than just like it. :-)

I've been a fan of the original formula Olay Complete SPF 15 for sensitive skin (which by the way is coming back in April) and picked this up at Target to use at night since it doesn't have sunscreen. I am really liking it! In the winter, my skin gets really dry and I don't think this would be enough, but since the weather's been getting warmer, it's perfect. No smell. Contatins niacinimide. Very soothing. And fairly cheap compared to other moisturizers I like! One bottle lasts quite a while.

Water, Glycerin, Isohexadecane, Niacinamide, Dimethicone, Isopropyl Isostearate, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Sucrose Polycottonseedate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Polyacrylamide, Panthenol, ...

Right now I am loving this stuff! I used this years ago, probably high school and I liked it then. Dont really know why I stopped using it. Anyway, picked this up again about 3 weeks ago and have been using it morning and night. NO BREAKOUTS. which is great! lots of times when I switch moisturizers I tend to breakout for a while. In the morning when I wake up, my skin is glowing! after I wash my face and apply this before my makeup my skin is looking amazing. It doesn't leave a greasy shine or feel sticky or anything. It sinks right in, and moisturizes right where I need it. I've been sick and blowing my nose a lot and whenever this happens my nose tends to get irritated/flake/peel all that fun stuff. Well so far this has helped my nose stay hydrated and has no irritation. Also you get ALOT of product for pretty cheap! 6 oz's for around $5 (maybe less, I forget..) This is going to last me months. I most likely will repurchase.

Here's a wonderful product that can be hard to find. I found it at Kmart and at a local drugstore here in Miami called Navarro Pharmacy. What attracted me to this product is the fact that it is fluid textured, fragrance free and contains a good amount of Niacinimide. It's this last ingredient that makes my skin feel silky smooth, soft and supple. I wear this over La Roche Posay Rosalic Moisturizer (which also contains niacinimide) and my skin has never looked and felt better. I don't get breakouts anymore since using this product. A little goes a long way and it sinks right into my skin and dries to a matte finish that doesn't interfere with makeup at all. Old blemish marks are disappearing and becoming more faded. This one is a keeper!

I was really excited to find this on Drugstore.com! I have searched endlessly for a fragrance free, formaldehyde free moisturizer. At first this was everything I had been looking for. Went on smoothly, soaked right into my skin and left no sticky feeling. My face felt so hydrated, I just knew I had found my HG. After a couple of weeks of use, I started noticing tiny white bumps under my skin, lots of them! I had never had this before so I was stunned! I quit using this and started exfoliating about 2 times a week, and using just plain Cetaphil cream on my face, the bumps slowly started disappearing. I don't know what is in this that caused these bumps, but I'm not using it anymore!

I am very disappointed in this product! I loved the way it made my skin feel (oh so soft!) however, I noticed that with it's continued use my skin started breaking out!! I'm not talking about a couple little zits..I'm talking about 6 huge zits all over cheeks (and it took all summer to finally clear up my skin!) I looked at the ingredients list, apalled that this product labeled for sensitive skin could possibly be breaking me out, and immediately spotted the offending ingredient, ISOPROPYL ISOSTEARATE!! this is an igredient that one MUST stay away from if they are at all prone to getting zits. consider yourselves warned.....however i still gave it 2 lippies because it did make my skin feel very soft and smooth.
