I received this moisturiser from Try and Review in exchange for a honest review. Honestly when I applied I thought I was going to get the serum, which would be much more appealing to me. Nonetheless, when I received this I was quite impressed. The packaging is beautiful and feels expensive, although I struggled to open it at first lol The brand claims: Olay Luminous Niacinamide + Vitamin C Moisturiser provides 2x more brighter skin in 28 days vs a basic moisturiser for radiant glow from within. This Citrus-scented, silky, lightweight cream melts into skin, does not clog pores, and leaves no greasy residue. This formula, crafted with Vitamin C, Vitamin B3 and Lactic Acid, visibly brightens and hydrates skin. Pros: lovely citrus fragrance, great lightweight texture, glides smoothly on skin. My skin felt moisturized and soft after use.
Cons: it takes a while to absorb, specially if you apply a little more. I legit had to wipe my face to apply makeup over it because I had no time to wait. Too rich for daily use for my oily skin, I think it contributed to a breakout I had while using it. I noticed no difference in skin tone or dark spots, but I see how this could take a little longer. Overall I think this is a pretty decent light cream moisturiser, and I really enjoyed using it in the start. But as the trial went on I only continued using it twice a day because I had committed to it. This is way too heavy to be used twice a day for my skin type. I have other products in my routine like retinol and overnight peels and not using them because I had to use this one I believe made my skin worse. I will still keep this product in my rotation but to use a few times a week, not daily. In summary, I think it's a good formula, the trial instructions were a bit misguided.
