When I think of my first beauty experiences, Oil of Olay comes to mind.
I’ve been using the classic skincare brand ever since my mom introduced the facial moisturizer to me in middle school. The simple white and black bottle always had a luxe appeal despite it being a drugstore buy. Although I didn’t need any anti-aging wrinkle-prevention creams at the time, the quintessential moisturizer always rescued my skin from dryness.
That’s why I was super excited to try the brand’s new Fresh Effects Dew Over Hydrating Gel Moisturizer. The fun and inviting packaging caught my eye, as well as the commercials.
Olay Fresh Effects Dew Over Hydrating Gel Moisturizer available here, $14
The hydrating gel-based moisturizer is a departure from the creamy lotion that original Olay fans have come to love. But, change is good. The light-weight gel is cool and calming leaving behind a refreshed feel, making it ideal for the warmer months. Plus, it’s oil-free and won’t clog pores. In fact, thanks to its powder formula, it actually absorbs excess oil! While the scent of white tea and honeysuckle is a wee bit off-putting, it doesn’t make it deal-breaker.
I never thought that I would find a facial moisturizer that could potentially replace my beloved original Oil of Olay, but this just might be the one!
Do you use gel moisturizers?
I’m in desperate need of a new moisturizer and I pray it won’t make me more oily! I will get it today! Fingers crossed. Thanks BGG!!
I like Olay because is my mother cream. It has a very gentle sweet fragrance.
I’ve been a fan of Olay products for a long time. I’m always interested in what they will come out with next.
