My skin is smoother and pretty healthy after using this product am/pm for about a month. It’s a nice overall serum with actives like AHA that I love and not too harsh like a glycolic.
First up though I can’t get over the smell - it’s like orange and very similar to their luminous moisturiser and TBH I’m a bit sick of it now and I may not buy this again because of it. Also the lid can be a bit fiddly to open and get the product out and can you tell how much is left? No as the bottle is opaque but I guess this protects the contents.
One drop is enough to spread across your whole face so this is pretty economical even using it twice a day. I think my age spots have faded slightly and I’m more even toned so I’m glad to have used this one. I’m definitely a converted Olay user however I’d probably try other products in their serum range to get a different fragrance.
I loved Olay's AHA Luminous serum, so when I saw this in the vault, I went for it, and I'm very pleased I did. First big tick: It's the same packaging as Olay's other serums with the clever lid-dropper, which is hygienic, easy and non-messy. The red and silver bottle looks classy too.
The serum has good body, perfect for smoothing over the skin easily but not watery at all, with a lovely fragrance that's lightly citrusy. It absorbs into my skin beautifully, leaving a hydrated, softly satin finish.
After using it daily for a few weeks, I'd say my skin's pretty happy with it! My skin's very dry and ageing fast, but it does feel moisturised and even a bit plumped and smoothed with this serum. The formula is packed with vitamins and peptides and no nasties, so I feel like I'm putting good, nourishing things into my skin. And my face can be sensitive, but there's no hint of stinging or irritation. Just hydrating comfort.
Tips: A full dropper does face, neck and decolletage. And it makes for a lovely primer :)
