Okay friends, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for…
If you follow me on Instagram (which most of you do), you know I have been testing out Olay’s Retinol24 collection over the last 4 weeks to see what the hype is all about. Spoiler alert, this trial is NOT the last time I will be using these products.
The last time I tried retinol products, my skin got extremely irritated. It would turn beet red and start peeling by the morning. It made me feel like I was doing much more harm to my skin than good.
However, I understand the importance of using retinol, especially while I am young for preventative purposes. Retinol is a powerhouse skincare ingredient that targets fine lines and wrinkles by increasing collagen production in the skin. Our skin naturally produces collagen, but it produces less and less as we age. The more collagen we have, the bouncier, tighter, and more radiant our skin is.
Upon doing research before I started this 4-week trial, I discovered that Olay says that 96% of users who have tried these products experienced virtually no irritation. Now THAT is a statistic I was really excited to test as someone who suffered from sensitivity to retinol in the past.
I can now confirm that Olay’s Retinol24 Collection did not irritate my skin in the slightest. In fact, it soothed my skin and kept my skin perfectly hydrated throughout the night.
My absolute FAVORITE product from the collection is the Retinol24 Night Moisturizer. I am a sucker for a really rich, hydrating moisturizer and this one really did it for me. I woke up each morning with perfectly plump and glowing skin.
I also LOVE that these products are fragrance-free. My skin can be pretty sensitive when it comes to harsh ingredients and fragrances but my experience using these products was quite flawless.
The other really fantastic part of these products is price point. Retinol products can be extremely pricey but Olay makes retinol skincare accessible for everyone. You can find these products at your local drug store.
If you are in the market for retinol skincare products that won’t irritate your skin or break the bank, be sure to pick up Olay Retinol24 Collection at your local drugstore or snag them online here! These products most definitely passed the test.
