Review on Olay Active Hydrating Cream Face Moisturizer: Ultimate Moisture for Your Skin - 1.9 fl oz by Sadie Holbrook

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works wonders but smells

I'm in my early 30s, avoid the sun, avoid harsh soaps on my face and have naturally oily skin, but I'm getting older and the weather is affecting my skin more than it was ten years ago . I noticed my cheeks and nose were dry and my makeup was uneven. You know that horrible caking that sometimes happens with pressed powder? That. I have never used a face cream but the price was right and the reviews were good for this brand. I started applying it twice a day in very small portions - no more than the tip of my finger. Within a few days my skin was noticeably softer. Make-up has become more even on the cheeks and nose. Almost no greasyness and dries quickly. I apply it after my shower and before bed and it never rubs off my pillowcase or clothes. The only thing I don't like about this cream is the smell. It's floral like roses. I hesitate to describe it that way, but it's a bit dated. I would prefer something purer, or better yet, unscented. It makes me a little sick every time I smell it, but I've never been a fan of rose-scented lotions or perfumes. If so, then it probably won't bother you. It's just a personal preference. Great product, not a very pleasant smell. Four stars.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Piggy Bank Price
