Olay Sensitive Moisture Therapy Lotion Review

Olaysensitive_2This silky moisturizing lotion would be best suited for someone with normal to dry skin.  The moisturizer absorbs easily and leaves skin soft, supple and ready for makeup.  The formula contains niacinamide (vitamin B3), vitamin E, panthenol, aloe and chamomile.  This product is fragrance- and color-free.

Olay Complete Defense Daily UV Moisturizer SPF 30 (Sensitive Skin Version) Review

Olaycompletedefensess_3Complete Defense is a good lightweight moisturizer with effective sun protection.  The formula is fragrance-free and contains vitamin E, aloe, and green tea extract.  The lotion absorbs easily but leaves a subtle whitish tint on the skin (the sheer tint works well to even out my light/medium complexion, but it may be too pronounced on darker skin tones).

Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum (Fragrance Free) Review

Olayregeneristserumff_3Olay Regenerist is a thick silicone-based serum with a nice array of skin-beneficial ingredients (niacinamide, panthenol, Matrixyl, vitamin E, green tea, and allantoin).  The serum is quite moisturizing and leaves a soft matte finish on the skin.  The silicone in this product helps to smooth out the skin’s surface by filling in the fine lines and pores.  The serum can be used anywhere on the face, including the eye area (Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum is very similar to this product but costs more per ounce).

Olay Body Age Transform Intensive UV Defense Serum SPF 15 Review

Olaybodyserumspf15_5This impressive (yet affordable) body formulation is full of skin-beneficial ingredients such as niacinamide, panthenol, green tea extract, vitamin C and more.  The formula also contains sunscreen to protect skin from premature aging (this product is also available in a sunscreen-free version).  The serum looks and feels like a body lotion and leaves skin soft and moisturized.  The only drawback is a heavy floral scent.

Olay Total Effects Daily Moisturizer Anti-Aging Anti-Blemish Review

Olayantiagingantiblemish_2This is a fine choice for someone looking for a good moisturizer that also treats blemishes.  The moisturizer contains effective levels of salicylic acid (1.5%) to treat acne and exfoliate the skin.  The texture of this lightweight lotion is smooth and silky and it absorbs well into the skin.  The formula also contains light reflecting pigments for some instant radiance.  Use of sunscreen is recommended with this product.
