Not everyone has time to apply multiple skincare products to their face every morning, but that doesn't mean they have to miss out on keeping skin hydrated, radiant and protecting from environmental agressors. The Olay Super Cream Face Moisturiser with SPF30 UV protection is essentially a three-in-one formula, doing the job of a moisturiser, serum and sun cream in one.
A 50ml pot usually retails for £40, however, if shoppers are quick they can nab one for £16.89 in a limited time 58% off Amazon deal. Beating the price of Boots, where the same Olay face cream is full price, Amazon customers have only hours left until the offer expires, according to Amazon's website.
The multi-tasking hero eliminates the need to apply both a face cream and a separate SPF in the morning, and as the sun's UV rays are one of the most prevalent reasons for ageing skin, it's an important step not to miss.Olay's Super Cream can be used under makeup and people praise the formula for being fast-absorbing and non-greasy.
One person said: "I've been using this for three months now and I've just bought some more. It's my go- to moisturiser from now on. I love how it glides onto my skin and is absorbed quickly without leaving any sticky residue.
"Some moisturisers I've used before, just sat on top of my face and felt greasy but this doesn't, it feels smooth and silky. It smells subtly of vanilla ice cream and a light whipped texture. My face has never looked so good since using this lovely moisturiser".
Not everyone will be keen on a fragranced face cream, in which case, the Cetaphil Daily Defence Cream SPF50+ with no added fragrance may be better suited. Priced at £16.50 at Holland & Barrett, shoppers say it has a 'light texture' and makes a 'great base for makeup'.
As well as hydrating the skin, Olay's Super Cream helps prevent dark spots and reduce fine lines with vitamin C, glycerin, niacinamide, vitamin E and collagen peptide. Someone said after using the face cream, 'my face feels so smooth', however another person did point out 'it is a tad heavy' for their liking.
A gel-water formula might be best for those who prefer a very lightweight face moisturiser. The Paula's Choice Ultra-Light Daily Hydrating Fluid offers this and it's on sale for £31.20 down from £39.
Other people have left five-star reviews for the Olay Super Cream. A customer said: "Great cream for those that don't have the time or energy to apply all sorts of skin care in the morning, this is my go-to on a work day."
However, as with all skincare products, some have found it does not work for them, with one three-star review stating: "Nothing spectacular. Goes on well and smooth, didn't notice any difference whatsoever."
And a second person wrote: "I hate greasy day creams, and when I decided to try this, I was amazed at how nicely it is to apply. It absorbs into the skin, leaving no residue at all and makes my skin feel moisturised all day. I love this product and have already recommended it to my mum and sister."
