So soft, so hydrating, am addicted to it

by Moisture goddess [Verified Reviewer]

in Pittsburgh, pa on 8/25/09

Pros: Absorbs Quickly, Goes On Smoothly, Moisturizes Well, Not Greasy, Smells Great, Softens Skin

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: After Shower/Bath, Bedtime, Deep Moisturization, Winter Dryness

Bottom Line: recommended

I started using this product a year ago, after doing a google search on best moisturizers. I have to say that review was right on the money, I am *addicted* to this stuff. I use it after shower, in winter, and in my office when I touch my skin and it feels dried up, I reapply it through the day several times. I *love* the smell, unlike some of the other users here. It might a powdery-like smell, but it's clean. I cannot recommend this product enough, it's affordable AND hydrates plenty, the only drawback I guess it's that it does not have too many antioxidants in it, and they are the rage nowadays, but what can you do, you can't have it all?!

Pros: Absorbs Quickly, Goes On Smoothly, Long Lasting, Moisturizes Well, Not Greasy, Smells Great, Softens Skin

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: After Shower/Bath, Bedtime, Deep Moisturization, Dry/Chapped Skin, Winter Dryness

Bottom Line: recommended

I am now 17 years old and I've been using this stuff since I was a kid. I use it once in the morning after I shower and right before I go to bed. Lately I've been using an acne wash that's been drying out my face, but when I put this on after my face feels so moisturized. I love this stuff...my skin is so smooth!

LOVE IT!!!

Pros: Absorbs Quickly, Goes On Smoothly, Long Lasting, Moisturizes Well, No breakouts, Not Greasy, Smells Great, Softens Skin

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: After Shower/Bath, Dry/Chapped Skin, Under foundation, Winter Dryness

Bottom Line: recommended

Contrary to some other reviewers, I love the smell of Olay's original formula. I am a middle-aged woman with awful combination skin, and even in my mid-forties I have always been prone to breakouts. Now that my skin is starting to show its first signs of age, it has been a nightmare trying to find a product that moisturizes without causing my acne to flare up. After trying dozens of products in many price ranges, I finally tried the original Olay formula that my mother used for years (her skin always looked great). I was initially skeptical, but now I wish I had tried it years ago. Highly recommended.

Smells awful and broke me out

Cons: Bad Smell, Not Long-Lasting

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Bottom Line: not recommended

I bought this based on all of the high reviews and the fact that it's been popular for so many years. But, sadly, this stuff is awful. I have dry, sensitive skin and I rarely break out, but I had three zits within 2 days using this. My skin was not well-mositurized by this at all- in fact, I was left with the flakiest skin I've ever had. And it smells terrible. What a waste of money.

hate the smell

Pros: Absorbs Quickly, Not Greasy

Cons: Bad Smell, Doesn't Moisturize

Bottom Line: not recommended

i really wanted this to work out. it's tough finding moisturizers out there that don't have SPF or parabens these days. based on the raaaaving reviews, i bought TWO bottles! EW. it has an insanely strong "old lady" perfume mixed with johnson's baby powder smell. it goes away fairly quickly, but it's very unpleasant to put on. i started a retinol cream several weeks ago, which might add to the problem, but i don't think this moisturizes all that well. my skin feels tight if i just put one layer of it on. i sometimes even have to put on 3 layers for that feeling to go away. 3 layers of the old lady baby powder smell!

LOVE IT

Pros: Absorbs Quickly, Goes On Smoothly, Long Lasting, Moisturizes Well, Softens Skin

Cons: Bad Smell

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: Bedtime, Winter Dryness

Bottom Line: recommended

I love this moisturizer. I have combination/oily skin and I needed a moisturizing face lotion for Detroit's frigid winters. It keeps my face moisturized without being to oily. I don't really like the smell bit I can deal with it.

Pros: Absorbs Quickly, Goes On Smoothly, Long Lasting, Moisturizes Well, Not Greasy, Smells Great, Softens Skin

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: Bedtime, Dry/Chapped Skin, Eczema, Winter Dryness

Bottom Line: recommended

This works great.i was a bit cinical about this product but i decided to give it a try because of the awsome reviews and i am glad i did. Goes on smooth, dries fast, smells good. It really is a great moisturizer for those of us with combo/sensitive dry/itchy acne prone skin, i haven't broken out since i started using this. Howerever I have eczema so i do need a stronger bedtime moisurizer, but if you have normal or greasy skin this stuff should be a blessing. i will buy again for sure.

Pink is Perfect

Pros: Goes On Smooth, Moisturizes, Nice Odor, Softens

Describe Yourself: Quality Oriented

Best Uses: Daily Use, Face

Bottom Line: recommended

I am a young grand mother,and as a woman my age, I've shopped the "lotions and potions" for years. So many moisturizer products have come and gone, but the Oil of Olay has stood the test of time and is still my #1 product in my daily routine. I use twice a day, and it leaves my skin feeling clean and soft and smooth. No other product feels the same way,so I never like to run out. I do miss the glass bottle, and I still use my "pump" ( used to come with the purchase.)Would love to see them bring back the pump. You all know a good product when you find it. Stick with us girls who know how to shop, this skin care line is a "beauty!!
