Review: Olay Moisturising Lotion


Today I'm going to be reviewing my everyday moisturiser. This is a great moisturiser that has been round for a loooooooong time. It's a variant of their iconic Olay Beauty Fluid. For some reason I couldn't find the beauty fluid anywhere despite the fact that it's not discontinued.  It claims to

Replenish skin with moisture that soothes dryness without leaving behind a greasy feel. 
• Moisturise to reveal softer, smoother, and more supple skin 
• Restore natural beauty of skin 
• Help diminish appearance of fine lines and wrinkles 




It comes in a smooth, matte semi opaque bottle that is easy to hold. There is a black screw on lid to it. The opening is just a tiny hole from the neck of the bottle. I find that it is very easy to control the product flow and the bottle is very sturdy. I would had preferred a pump, because when I'm putting on my skincare I don't want to touch the outside of bottles or unscrew lids and get bacteria on my hands.

It also comes in other variations for sensitive skin and with spf in it also. I just have the normal one which is recommended for normal to combination or oily skin. It's a great basic moisturiser that you can use day or night. It is a pale pink in colour ad the texture is very soft and smooth - not greasy at all.

It smells quite nice. I can't exactly pinpoint it but it's fresh and clean and a tiny bit floral.  It leaves skin feeling very fresh and it moisturises well without being heavy.


would recommend if you have combination to oily skin, but not if you have dry skin. It probably won't be moisturising enough. I cannot say anything about the fine lines and wrinkles claim but I haven't experienced any negative side effects with this.

This is a great moisturiser for everyday as I said before. It will definitely do in Summer under sunscreen but in Winter you may feel like you need a little more moisture. When this happens I usually mix a couple drops of the Hado Labo Hylauronic Acid Moisturising Lotion which I reviewed here during the day. At night I will either do the same thing or add a few drops of rosehip oil.
