Olay Super Serum 5-in-1 Renewing Face Serum

This serum is great. Niacinimide is a daily must for my skincare routine. When I ran out of the one I had been using, I needed to find something else to try. I kept passing this by, but it stayed in my mind as something I want to try. I finally bought the sample size. I wanted to try it because it has Niacinimide, along with vitamin c, peptides, and AHAs? It sounded great. I rarely use vitamin c, not because I don't like it, but because most vitamin c products I have are stand alone and I usually use them alone to avoid reactions with other products I use - so having vitamin c in this sounded nice because I do like the benefits. Only thing I'm a little iffy about is I know how sensitive vitamin c is as a product and I see the full size bottle comes in a dropper which means the serum is exposed to the air everytime you open it - as opposed to the sample which is a pump bottle and always stays shut. I think for vitamin c, the pump is better for it to stay effective (however I'm not a skincare expert and could be wrong. I don't know the science here, I just remember what I was told). In any case, I've been using this serum for a couple weeks now and I do love it. I am prone to a lot of redness on my cheeks, around my nostrils, and the sides of my face near my ears. If I use good skincare products, that redness will fade once I'm done applying all my skincare and it has time to dry down. That's exactly what happens when I use this. I washed my face yesterday, wore no makeup, went to bed without washing my face again - and I woke up with 0 redness. That's a big deal for me because that doesn't always happen. It depends on the products I use. I love waking up and feeling so good about how my face looks. If a product can do that for me, I'll buy it forever. I'm not implying it's all thanks to the super serum - I use other products that are amazing and helpful too. My skincare goes like this: A good AHA/BHA toner, a moisturizing serum, Olay super serum, a good moisturizer (that also has niacinimide), and eye cream. My skin loves this combo. I read someone say this product has too much stuff in it and it was making their skin dry and red - this is exactly what happened to me years ago when I started experimenting with skincare. I didn't know what I was doing and I was doing way too much on my "virgin" skin. It took a long time to repair my moisture barrier, and after that, I slowly worked up to using all of these ingredients - retinols, bakuchiols, peptides, vitamin c's, niacinimides, etc etc. I can pretty much use anything on my face at this point and it's rare to have a reaction. So my advice is, maybe this isn't for you if you haven't been using skincare like this regularly. And maybe you can give this a chance after trying some of these ingredients on their own before using them all at once. It's called "super serum" for a reason :) I'm rarely loyal to one specific product, but Olay super serum is something I will buy again - even if it's not on sale, even though it didn't come in a beauty box - and that's a big deal for me lol

Excellent serum, I use it with the Super Cream and Super Eyes. I also use the Super Serum body wash. The only thing that would complete this would be to have a Super Serum face wash. This would be a total game changer!

See my earlier review. A week later and my skin is so dried out. I'm sad because I loved the other benefits but I can't live with the dryness. My skin looks blotchy. I will probably return

I purchased a sample a few weeks ago. I use Regenerist but still had a bit of redness/ capillaries. Two weeks of using this and they are almost gone! I don't even believe it! I am turning 52 today and was mistaken for 35 the other day. Amazing !
