This worked great for the first 2 days I used it (I had been using Aveeno Calming Moisturizer for the last year or so, but it never worked that great, and lately my skin on my cheeks has gotten drier and drier). In the morning of day 3 all the good changes I had seen were reversed and my cheeks were drier than ever and getting a little flaky as well. :( So now I'm back to searching for something that will work for my dry, somewhat sensitive skin.

you know, this is a good product, but walmart makes a similar one bigger bottle size and half the price! it's basically the same thing and same quality. i like this product but if you want the same for cheaper, try the walmart brand. i think it's called equate.

This is my go-to daily moisturizer. I've been using it for years, but every now and then I "cheat" and try another brand. Always a mistake! Every other moisturizer with SPF either breaks me out, leaves me feeling like I have a film of gunk on my face, or makes me shine. There's no "afterfeel" (whatever the touch equivalent for aftertaste is!) once it soaks into my skin, it doesn't break me out and I do start shining up after a few hours. But my nose and chin get shiny when I have nothing on so I can't fault Olay for that -- it certainly doesn't make things worse like so many other lotions do. FYI, I have combo skin that's very sensitive, I'm extremely pale and burnable, and I wear contacts (this lotion doesn't irritate them).

One lippie off because I wish it were just a little more moisturizing. I usually put some eye cream on and let it sink in before applying the Olay, just to get the moisture boost.

To me this wasn't a substantial enough product, I found the cream to be not thick enough, and my skin was crying out for more moisture, I have combination skin, not extra dry, so it was a surprise to me that this was rather inadequate, I ended up using it for a week and giving it away.

I quite liked this when i first used it, over a period of 6 months, however, i did notice reddened blotchy skin on the areas where i was using it most. I stopped when I made the connection and the redness has gone. My sister uses this and it works great for her. Points out the differences in the needs of different skin.

I use this in the creme. I started using it in the winter for my combo skin that immediately aches for moisture as soon as the days get shorter. The Olay Lotion (or any other brand) just doesn't seem to cut it for me in the winter.



The creme however, works wonders. It's moisturizing without being oily. Definitely my favourite. The pot it comes in allows you to get every last bit out of it.

I am a brand snob, but being the starving student that I am, I was in desperate need of a moisturizer with SPF and couldn't afford my usual. So I looked up MUA, and found all these nice reviews on Olay Complete. I have really tempermental skin so I was really reluctant to try a DS brand, but I have to say I am impressed. This is the most fantastic moisterizer for the price and I will be buying again when I run out just to have on hand at all times!! It does leave my T-zone oily, but there's not much any moisturizer could do about that. It doesn't sting my skin either! :D

I have seriously sensitive skin and this is the ONLY sunscreen I can use on my face that doesn't break it out in a rash and/or doesn't burn/sting like crazy. The lotion is pretty moisturizing for my dry skin during the summer but I have a feeling once winter hits it may not be enough for the day by itself - but I think they make this in a cream too. The packaging is ok. You have to squeeze it out of a small hole at the top, so its easy to sometimes squeeze too much. A pump would have been better, but I guess this way you can get every little bit out. This is definitely my HG sunscreen. Update: they reformulated it and it now breaks out my skin! Boo.

So i was originaly using cetephil moisturizing lotion w/spf, and then decided to try this. OMG what a difference! seriously, the spf or whatever in the cetephil made my skin BUURRNN, so therefor i had a rash like red face (not cute, especialy with a few postacne red marks). and on top of that it was greesy(again not cute with my oily skin.) i decided to try out complete,fragrance free of course, to see if it was any better. honestly, i just didnt want pain when i used my moisturizer. its pretty thick for summer, but still i love it, so i just use a pea size. and i also use a retin-a at night. while i started with the complete i stopped using my Rx cream, because both would be too much cream. but a week later(just wi/ complete) my skin color was so EVEN, and smooth. no breakouts. nothing but soft smoothed blended skin. HG moisturizer. i took off one lippie because it is a little greesy and takes a little bit to soak into the skin. but other than that, FANTASTIC :)

I started using an earlier version of this moisturizer when I was 16 (am 29 now) and I used to love it. I've been trying different moisturizers for last year or so, though, because this moisturizer just feels too waxy or something for me now and I don't like the sheen it leaves on my face. I'm kind of sad because I used it for so long. It just seems to clog my pores now. The good thing about this moisturizer is that is does have sunscreen and it really is fragrance free which is a must for me. I have switched to DERMAdoctor Body Guard, and like the more weightless feel of that moisturizer, even though by appearances it is heavier. The Body Guard isn't all that matte either, but I don't look waxy, and it moisturizes the dry spots on my cheeks and eyelids better. Plus it is SPF 30.

For a product that's supposed to be oil-free and non-greasy, it sure makes my face into an oil slick. I've tried it a few times and almost every time, the tackiness gets to be too much, even long after it should have soaked in. In its favor, I'm definitely in favor of any moisturizer with sunscreen, and it hasn't made me break out or given me an allergic reaction. It's also super cheap, so I don't feel so bad about not finishing the bottle.

One of the few staples in my routine. I have used this for years now...I think since it first came out. It is always rated as one of the best lotions with SPF. It goes on lightly, moisturizes and my skin looks gorgeous. No irritating scents or ingredients (at least for me).

Very nice moisturizer. It delivers what it claims. It is great for summer and winter. And it has never irritated my sensitive skin.

This is my HG daily sunscreen/moisturizer. I have tried so many brands, both high and low end and always come back to this one. It has never broken me out and never stung my face or eyes and I don't get a yucky bitter taste in my mouth like with many lotions that contain chemical sunscreens (I'm looking at you, Cetaphil). I dropped a lippie because I wish they would make this in a higher spf, but I bought the complete defense spf 30 today, and I may be switching to that. I also wish it was packaged in a pump bottle, since it is a pain to get the last of the product out. I also like that this is popular enough to have generic dupes in places like wal-mart and cvs, making it even cheaper.

This lotion absorbs by my skin quickly, not shiny, and no irritation. Works wonder for my sensitive combo/oily skin. I also use the SPF15 version during the day time. :-)

This is pretty much my favorite moisturizer of any that I've tried. I've used various Clean and Clear's, Clinique, Avon, etc and this is the best for your money. I have very sensative and oily skin and i've never had an issue with breakouts, clogged pores, or oilyness from this. Love it and would definately (and have!) purchase again.

This is my usual moisturizer. I haven't really experimented with a lot since I have oily skin. I just prefer something with SPF to prep my skin for foundation. This lotion is quite light and does a good job of moisturizing without being too oily or heavy. My cousin tried this and said it left her skin too oily; this actually happened to me as well, but that was because I was using too much of the moisturizer. I notice just dotting a bit on each cheek, forehead, and nose will be enough to adequately moisturize your face and will result in minimal or no shine from the product. It's my HG moisturizer for now and will probably continue to be in the future.

My review is for Olay Complete with Vitamine E and Aloe for Sensitive Skin. I bought it from Walmart after reading all sorts of great reviews over here on MUA ,but this didnt work for me at all. it just gave me small red pimples that left HORRIBLE red marks. And the funny thing is that the products that every 1 is talking about here has a slight diffenernt packeging then the product i got from Walmart. People here noted that Olay moisterizer that they have contains vitamin E & C; however mine doesnt state containing vitamine C. So did they change the packeging recently or did they change the entire formula? What ever they did,I am really pissed off with this product.Edit: I still hate this product.. I continiued using it, since the pise is just right and also i thought that my skin might get use to it, but no!...it just isn't working.

i have been using it for 4 years, it has sun protection, the basic antioxidant ingredients, non oily, does not break me out or cause visible clogged pores, and only costs less than 3 pounds during offer time, i know i shouldnt save for sun screen, moisturizer, but this product is a keeper for me. i think olay is exceptional for its price.
