About three years ago I was steadily using high-end moisturizers, when I decided to try this one out just to see if I could get any skin benefit from this classic budget brand.
Other than its infamous rosey fragrance, this product is pretty much straight lanolin so I really couldn’t foresee any significant results. When I first started applying it I initially found the rosey fragrance a little strong and the creme texture a little heavy.
Despite initial impressions, I was pleasantly surprised to find that after a short while of massaging this creme in that it melted nicely into the skin, my skin looked hydrated and smooth, a little shiny, but not greasy (translation: my skin didn’t look perfect, but still it looked refreshed).
Initially I didn’t really like the smell all that much, but I’ve gotten tonnes of compliments about the fragrance (I guess the classic rose fragrance makes people nostalgic for simpler times).
Anyhow, its been three years since my first jar of this stuff and now its remained the most constant product in my skin care regimen. Its gotten so that I look forward to how the rosey smell wakes me up in the morning. Besides, the fragrance gradually dissipates to surround you with a barely perceptable aura of flowers 25 minutes after applying (you’ll be amazed at how many people will tell you how much they love your floral forcefield).
My conclusion
-Oil of Olay is great at making you look good, but not so good at making you look great. So use it on those days and nights when you don’t need to wow anyone with how nice your skin is. This way your skin stays healthy and moisturized, but for a lower cost; and you’ll be saving a whole lot of your high-end moisturizers from casual use so they’ll give you more “wow!!” moments when you actually need it.
