Switched from cetaphil!

It's a big YES for me- I had hormonal acne all over my face which are cured now, and was in need of a different regiment to keep hydrated... Cetaphil was too creamy for me (I use it as body lotion) and read about Olay and switched! It's non greasy, doesn't log pores and is very LIGHT on face. This is the only moisturiser that has balanced my oil/tone ... I use jojoba oil along with this at night and it's perfect!!!

Bought this for night and okay spf15 for day.... Works out perfectly!
:D so happy with this product- its really cheap compared to the other bands I've been using :)!!

I really tried to like this product. I found it compared unfavourably with much cheaper tinted moisturisers. It often left me with tide marks of ashy, nubbly grease residue, and it stung. It was a terrible base for powder, and I found the smell offensive. It settled in wrinkles and pores and darkened them. Had to bin it!

The packaging of this cream is good, I like squeezy bottles. The product gets used up quite quickly compared to Clinique cream, the big bottle of Clinique can last me up to a year but I've had the Olay for a few months and I'm already half way through it so price wise they are similar. The texture of the cream is good and the best part of this product is the SPF. It is a great moisturiser but hasn't made significant improvements to the softness of my skin or refined pores.

I love this product, i will definitely repurchase. I tend to only repurchase things once they've ran out, but i have stocked up! I like to be really tan, so ideally I don't like to use things with too much spf unless i'm going to the pool/beach, or outside. This has spf 15, which is fine because i can still tan with this on for some reason, but this smells amazing! like vanilla sunscreen. it is almost unscented, though, the smell is light. It feels like creamy oil, i love it!

This doesn't break me out. I really like that it's fragrance free too - I find the usual olay cream smell a bit cloying and irritating so close to my nose.. I use this twice a day in the colder months and at night in the summer (with the complete care sensitive lotion in the morning). It can get a little bit greasy if you overapply - but I don't mind at night, and it's fine with makeup over the top (I tend to have a bit of oily skin too). I use it up quite quickly, and it's not the cheapest of products, but I've repurchased it a good few times over the past year - because it's moisturising, gentle and helps to protect my skin from the sun.
Lately though, as the weather has become much colder and windier in Scotland I've started looking for something else as it isn't moisturising enough - and applying more just makes my skin greasy. Definitely worth a go if you live in a gentler climate!

good daily moisturizer, light and doesn't grease up your face like so many other less expensive creams. Will carry on buying

THEY CHANGED THE FORMULA!!!

I recently purchased a bottle from Superdrug and am so annoyed...why do companies take a great product and then change the ingredients?

This cream used to be fine, good sunscreen, non-oily, I've used it up till now for as long as I can remember, maybe even ten years or so.

So when I bought a new 200ml bottle, I was surprised that it STUNG on application...it was left a disgusting greasy siliconey film on the skin that simply would not sink in at all...two days later my forehead is covered in tiny blackheads...Olay, you have lost my custom forever.

I've been using this cream for about 3 moths and it has become HG material for me. I have some kind of Combination-Dry-Sensitive skin and break outs have dissapeared, I do have blackheads on my nose but I had them before and I didn't find any remedy that doesn't damage the rest of my skin (if anyone knows, please tell me)
I also have to say that when i get dry sensitive patches around the sides of my nose this does burn a bit.. I don't know if I would recommend to really really really damaged sensitive skins. Otherwise this is simply great.
Price is fine. I don't like the screw cap and the fact that you have to dip your fingers in the jar but I can put up with it.
I really wish the lotion wasn't discontinued, I would have given it a try.

This is for the sensitive skin SPF15 cream formula. I normally use the lotion version. I felt I needed more moisturization so I thought I'd give the cream a go. The lotion is my every day moisturizer with SFP. This cream version is really not much thicker (barely) and isn't any more moisturizing than the lotion. It's just more expensive and you get only about 1/3 of the product you get in the lotion form. Otherwise they're exactly the same. I'll stick to the lotion since it's much cheaper and does the same thing!

I like this for my neck and chest, but it caused kind of a uneven tone on my face. I didn't break out or have any major irritation, but it just makes my skin look dull and slightly blotchy somehow.

I got this as a gift with a Olay daily facials set when I was 18.
I'm pretty unorganised and we moved home soon after so I've never used the toner and cleanser with it.
The moisturiser though, I'm not sure it's for me. It sinks in quite well and mixed well in the summer with my Colorstay foundation. But it caused major skin breakouts on my chin and t-zone, people have said this is because of its sunscreen. Maybe it's just not suitable for teen/young skin, but now I just use it on my neck (gets very dry) and cheeks/temples. It's alright I suppose, but nothing I'm gonna get again.

I use this every day on my face and neck. It absorbs quickly and doesn't make my face look oily. Plus it has UV protection! The only thing I don't like about it is that the cap is the screw on kind and it's annoying to screw it back on when you have moisturizer in your hand.

Did not last all day. I had to reapply during lunch, otherwise, my dry cheeks felt taut. I would not recommend for dry AND sensitive skin.

Ok, so I was using this daycream which I thought made my skin look very healthy and glowing, like I've been working out or something. But it was really cheap and I don't exactly know what was in there, but it severely dried out my skin on the long term! It just took me some time to figure it was actually this moisturizer doing this..
Anyway, after this I needed to make a switch to something soothing. So I bought this Olay sensitive cream and it has worked wonders so far!! In one week, my crackin' dry skin became supple and smooth again, looking and feeling healthy (without the artificial "glow", just plain healthy) like it used to be. I love that there's aloe and camomilla in it and that it has no fragrance! I think this is just about the best moisturizer I have ever used! Too bad the moisturizing lotion is discontinued, because I guess that one will work better in summer than the cream..
EDIT: Unfortunately, I had to take 1 lippie off. The cream seems to be a bit too moisturizing for my combo skin needs. I get more breakouts than I usually do and it doesnt completely sink in during the day. I wish I could find the lotion version of this back again, but that one seems to be dicontinued?!?

This is what I usually use during the day. It absorbs quickly and easily into my skin, and it definitely moisturizes! I like that it has UV defense. This creme is really nothing special however. If you are looking for something other than moisture in your creme, I would look into something else, otherwise this is perfect, and cheap! ($8 CAD at Sobeys)

I've been using this for about 3 months now, and it's one of the only prod's that doesn't break me out, sting, bother my eczema, or smell badly or too strongly :)

It doesn't do anything extra, but it does do what it's supposed to, which is moisturize. It doesn't do anything it doesn't promise to do, ie: reduce lines or puffiness or darkness, etc...

I put it on in the morning, and before I go to bed. Will buy again until I need something that does more for my skin.

I really, really like this moisturizer. It doesn't make me break out and leaves my skin soft and smooth. It has the normal Olay scent which I love. Will definitely buy this again!

Yikes :( !!! This burned my skin, caused break-outs (I don't usually break out either), was very sticky, and contains harmful ingredients too :(. A big nono for sensitive skins !!! Stay away from this at all costs :(.
