About 4 weeks ago, I started a new nighttime regimen using the new Olay Retinol24 products. There are three different products: a serum, an eye cream, and a moisturizer. Today, I’m talking all about my results and what differences I’ve seen in my skin since I started using these products!
Before we get into the results, I want to talk a little bit about retinol, in case you aren’t familiar with the benefits it’s supposed to have on the skin. I personally had never tried retinol before trying this line because I had heard that it was VERY harsh on the skin and could cause a ton of irritation, peeling, redness, bumps, etc… Because I have very sensitive skin, I refrained from trying it, but when this line came out and I saw that the products were supposed to be VERY gentle, I jumped on the opportunity to try it! I am also approaching my 35th birthday, so I figured I would give it a shot because of the anti-aging benefits. Some of the other benefits retinol has on the skin are fighting acne, reducing/preventing wrinkles, evening out skintone, and smoothing, firming, and brightening the skin. Sounds amazing right??
I am so happy that I ended up trying retinol for the first time using Olay Retinol24. Their retinol products stand above all of the others, in my opinion, because the products are SO gentle and don’t cause any irritation, they work in your skin for 24 hours providing all day hydration, and you will see smoother, brighter skin in 24 hours. Retinol24 products remain potent, unlike a lot of other retinol products, which degrade when exposed to air, sun, and heat.
This line also comes with 3 retinol products to choose from, depending on what you’re looking for. I loved all of them, but if I had to choose my favorite of the three, it would be the night moisturizer! That cream just made my skin SO soft and velvety from the minute I applied it and I am blown away by it every night I put it on! It’s also really nice that using retinol doesn’t have to add an extra step into my skincare routine since it’s already formulated with the active ingredients.
The Results
The photo above is my skin today, with no filter, no editing, no makeup, NOTHING. I can 100% say that my skin has never looked better and I’m so happy with my results! My skin is smoother, brighter, more even and clear, and my redness has calmed down A LOT. I have also noticed that I don’t need to apply as much foundation as I normally would because my skin doesn’t really need the coverage. To be honest, I’ve never really had BAD skin, but I had a lot of texture and redness, which I feel has gotten so much better since I started using Olay Retinol24.
Needless to say, I HIGHLY recommend these retinol products! Another great thing about this line is that their retinol products are very affordable compared to other brands.
