This is a great, affordable everyday moisturizer/sunscreen. I've bought the combination/oily skin version off and on for several years and always have great results. I continue to stray because I enjoy trying new things, but this is the one I keep coming back to. I am looking for a higher SPF, though, and I understand that Olay makes an SPF 30, so I think I'm going to look for that.

i LOVE this moisturizer!!! i have REALLY sensitive skin and everything irritates it. This is the one moisturizer with SPF I tried that does not irritate my skin. It is nongreasy, light, and there is a light scent thats not a perfume scent if that makes any sense.

As for the animal testing, I have worked with animal research with the last 5 years of my life including at UC Davis and one year at a primate testing facility. Even if companies claim that they do not test on animals, there is nothing stopping them from paying other companies to do the testing for them. Or buying someone else's test results. All in all that money is still funding the animal testing. So it is ignorant to completely trust a company's claims that they don't test on animals.

I have to say that I love this moisturizer because it's so light and non-greasy. This was everything I had been looking for in a moisturizer BUT, I found out that Olay tests on animals. Which I wish I didn't know because ignorance is bliss right? I feel so guilty now that I know. I will be out in the next few weeks and will be purchasing something else. Since I'm a huge MAC fanatic and they don't test on animals I will most likely purchase a moisturizer from them even though it will be pricey. But, I'd rather pay for something pricey than feel guilty but that's just my opinion.

I really like this moisturizer. I smells really nice and moisturizes very well. After I put this on in the morning my face doesn't get dry during the rest of the day. It's a bit expensive but the formula is very creamy so it should last a while. I like the way that it comes out of the bottle so you can get the last of it more easily that something with a pump. It takes a little while to soak in and can feel a little heavy until it does but otherwise it hasn't bothered my skin yet. I like that it doesn't have a funny medicinal smell like some things with SPF have. I think this is a good choice if you're not sure what to buy and want to try something pretty basic and not too expensive. Another plus is that they have different formulations for combination and sensitive skin.

Its actually fairly reasonably priced compared to some other moisturizers, but because the bottle is so small and the packaging makes the product come out really fast, I gave it lower marks in those categories. Anyway, even though I have sensitive skin because of the acne medication I use, this (usually) doesn't bother my skin. I love the smell of it and you can't smell the spf AT ALL. Its my regular moisturizer now.

I am in loooove so far. After I went through the whole Proactiv ordeal, my skin was in definite need of some SOS. My skin was pretty much ruined, always dry and blotchy and uncomfortable. I got this on a whim and my skin feels wonderful! I got the combination/oily formula and It has not irritated my skin at all, does not leave an oil slick on my face, and so far has not broken out my acne-prone skin. The scent is classic olay, lovely of course. It absorbs quickly and I feel that this should last me a while. Love this lotion.

I use this in the summer when there's more moisture in the air. It's just enough to keep my skin moist but not so much that it breaks me out. In winter, it's not enough, but for summer the sunscreen is a great addition.

I used this in my 20's and it worked wonders! Now I have drier skin and it really does not moisturize at all. I suppose I'll try it again in the summer. I even mixed it with a little vitamin e oil and by the afternoon, my skin is flaky in spots. I only tried it because I ran out of my Kiehl's moisturizer. There must be an ingredient in the Olay that my skin doesn't like anymore...Anyway, will not repurchase. I'll keep using my kiehl's/vitamin e/sunscreen combo during the day. I just wish Kiehl's wasn't so dang expensive!

I adore this moisturizer... to say it's HG is an understatement. I have been using it daily since I was 13 (I used to swipe my mom's...) and now, 11 years later I'm still using it. It's light and non-greasy, absorbs quickly, and most importantly, never causes me to break out. I use it every morning religiously, as soon as I get out of the shower, and in the winter, before I go to bed, as that is the only time my face really dries out at all. I will use it until the day they discontinue it...and if that should happen, I really will cry.

I like Olay products and their regular beauty fluid is a classic! I saw this in Walgreens for $12 and decided to try it. I had been thinking about getting a mosturizer with SPF and this was a decent price. Now, I did NOT get the sensitive skin version and perhaps I should have...this lotion made my skin burn and I broken out in a blotchy rash! One of the active ingredients is zinc oxide and it said on a few google searches that it can be a skin irritant.

I ended up returning this product. I think it would work well, but for my senstivie skin it did not. I will just continue using my Bare Minerals foundation with SPF.

This is the only face moisturizer that doesn't break me out, that doesn't cost me my entire paycheck, and that doesn't smell weird. In a nutshell, it's hard to dislike this product.

It's a nice basic daytime moisturizer with sun protection. I like it alot. It is not too thick or greasy or heavy and doesn't make my face sweat like a lot of moisturizers do. It soaks into the skin, it smells good and it feels nourishing and it also helps that I know it is protecting my skin without the nasty sun block feel and smell.

It is not miraculous but it works well and I think prolonged use can definitely help make your skin healthier and more supple and reduce lines. But I can only comment on that for sure after I have used it for a long time.

I love this moisturizer! I have combination skin and this doesn't over-moisturize my T-zone, which I found to be troubling with Clinque's Dramatically Different Moisturizer. I use this right after I get out of the shower and after my toner. This gives me soft skin for the rest of the day without the annoying flakies that my skin is prone to, ad it doesn't clog my pores. Plus, it has SPF 15!

my HG moisturizer. i grew up watching my mom use Oil of Olay and saw how good it is! She just turned 67 and doesn't look a day over 55. I love this stuff - really light but it does the job. I mix it with my minerals for a tinted moisturizer. the result is gorgeous...... highly recommend....

Ok I am reviewing the complete defense all day moisturizer spf15 cream (in the frosted jar)- and i have to say that even though this did an ok job with moisturizing-- It felt very heavy on my skin and did not soak in quickly at all. I didnt like the fact that I had to wait forever until I could apply my makeup and I also felt like the moisturizer had more sunscreen than ever! I was not impressed with this product.

I got this because I have fair skin and my doctor "recommended" that I use some type of sunscreen daily. I got lucky with this; it was my first choice and it works great. At first, I thought it had made me break out, but I tried it again when my skin was clear and it has worked fine every since.

I've been using this moisturizer for years and I would never switch to another product. My mom bought it for me and I just loved it so much that I continue to use it.
I use a lot of acne products as a preventative measure (my skin is pretty healthy) and my skin feels tight if I don't moisturize. This lotion never causes breakouts, always moisturizes nicely and is never greasy. I love that is has SPF because I use it after cleansing and toning and underneath my mineral makeup...so I never have to put sunscreen on top of everything.

I have used Cliniques Dramatically Different Moisturizing lotion for about 4 years and then when I figured it was about time for some spf in my moisturizer, I switched to L'oreal Active Daily Moisture lotion for a year. I'd have to say that both seemed too greasy for my combo skin, especially the L'oreal stuff.
So after hearing such great reviews about Olay complete, I thought I'd give this a try. This lotion completely moisturizes my face without having to go back to add more if I sit around for a while before putting on my makeup. The packaging is awesome because it has a little hole at the time so just the right amount comes out when you give the bottle a light squeeze. This was SO much easier than the L'oreal bottle which was hard plastic with a wide mouth. This stuff didn't break me out AT ALL which is a miracle with my skin.
The only downside is that this stuff smells a little funny..my boyfriend noticed when i switched lotions..but never said anything after that. So maybe you just have to get used to it. But i would DEFINITELY buy this again and again! Great deal compared to Clinique's moisturizer which actually didn't have SPF.

This review is for the Complete All Day UV Moisture Lotion with spf 15 (combo/oily skin). I bought this when my friend recommended it to me after I'd complain to her about the problems I was having with my last spf moisturizer. Like me, she also has combo/oily skin, and she claims this as her HG daily moisturizer. I have been using this for a little over a month, and so far so good. I like the consistency; a little on the runny side. It spreads well, and absorbs quickly. It's light and non-greasy, as the label reads (which a lot of other spf moisturizers will claim, but completely holds false), so it sits well under make up. Best of all, it doesn't break me out. The only complaint I have for this product is that it's scented. Though the fragrance is slight and fades after a few minutes, I'd prefer the product fragrance-free. Overall, a good moisturizer for oily skin.
