Olay Fresh Effects Dew Over! Hydrating Gel Moisturizer

Hi everyone!~ Long time, no see... Sorry about that. But I am here, at 3 am, writing this for you c:

When it first came out I found a coupon that would give you a free cleanser if you bought a moisturizer. Excited to try out this new line by Olay, I picked up this moisturizer and the Out of This Swirled Deep Pore Clean and Exfoliating Scrub (which I will eventually review and link here). This honestly took lots of Target trips to find. One location would have the moisturizer, but no more cleanser, or vice versa. Finally, while vacationing in Vegas, I found both!

So here is this fairly new Olay Fresh Effects Dew Over! Hydrating Gel Moisturizer. Okay, maybe its a bit old. I got this in January and I just finished it about a week ago(in June). But I did not use it daily, so it would most likely last about a month or two if it is used daily. I will get back to that.

Here is what the website claims:

Give your skin a splash of 24-hour hydration. This lightweight moisturizing gel is oil-free and won’t clog pores. Formulated with a powder, it absorbs quickly and makes skin look less oily. And it’s infused with the essence of honeysuckle and white tea, leaving you feeling invigorated and energized.

Now, I absolutely adore gel moisturizers, because of trying the Garnier one (which I plan on buying someday). So until now, I had no idea that the moisturizer was formulated with powder. This clears up so much for me now.

This is what the moisturizer looks like:

Right off the bat, you can see that it does not at all look like a gel. It looks like a cream. This was a disappointment to me, since I was expecting something like the Garnier consistency, but I still gave this a try.

Although I'm not sure what honeysuckle or white tea smells like, it smelled very fresh, and a little sweet. There was something weird about it though. I can't explain it. It was kind of stuffy... It was as if it was trying to cover up the fresh scent? You have to smell it to understand.

When first applying the moisturizer, I noticed that it does have a very slight cooling sensation, and does absorb quickly. This is good, because it would make a good moisturizer when applying makeup right after. I found myself having to dip my fingertip in about three times to cover my face. Once for the nose area, one for the forehead area and one for the chin area. This definitely felt like I was using a lot of moisturizer each time. Perhaps it is because it absorbs so quickly. But seeing that it only comes with 1.7 fl oz, it was kind of a lot of product to use, which justifies my estimate of this only lasting about a month or two if used daily.

It feels very lightweight as it claims to be. My face felt clean and refreshed. However, this moisturizer was a bit drying for me. I did not feel that it was as moisturizing as it claimed. Mind you, I do not have dry skin. I have combination skin with an oily T-Zone. It makes sense since I now know that it is formulated with powder. Before today, I had no idea. I would imagine this to be a good choice for someone with oily skin. I used this on days where I thought I would be sweating a lot or if it was a hot day, since it was pretty refreshing.

It also gives that squeaky feeling that I get after applying Bath and Body Works lotion (which I abhor). But I managed to get over that. 

While I do not support its claim to "provide moisture for 24 hours", it is not a terrible moisturizer and the entire line is quite cute. I would recommend that someone with very oily skin to try this. It might work well. I personally would not repurchase this though, since I don't believe it works with my skin.

Olay Active Hydrating Cream

 Hi guys :3
Soo... This was on sale so I decided to pick it up. There were a few different Olay ones on sale, but this one only had one left, so I assumed it was good.
Its the Original formula,so i think its just the basic one.
It's pretty moisturizing and its pretty light. Thankfully, its not sticky. I normally wear it under makeup, so it smooths out my skin :3 It smells like baby lotion. The only problem I had with this cream is that for some super odd reason, it really irritated my eyes. So I don't use it around my eyes.

This is what it looks like:

This is what it says on the side of the box:

Moisturizes - Penetrates quickly, providing your skin with an immediate surge of active moisture to soothe dryness without a greasy feel.

Improves - Helps your skin replenish its own essential fluids so skin is softer, smoother, and more supple.

Restores - Works like the essential fluids abundant in young skin, to help restore skin to its natural beauty and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Overall, its a pretty good moisturizer, but its nothing amazing.

Next, I want to buy the Garnier Refreshing Gel moisturizer, I have tried a sample and really liked it so....

My moms friend gave her this cream and well... I just had to try it. I had no idea how expensive it was or what it exactly did though. I put it on my elbows x) because i have dry elbows. So, the next day when I woke up, my elbows were like reaallly soft! I didnt think it was gonna work overnight or anything... Its got a really thick consistency and you dont have to use much. Its fragrance free. It kind of leaves a sticky feeling, but that goes away in time.

Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream

Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream

This is a new product from Garnier's Moisture Rescue Line. I thought it was a really cool color so... lol x] I applied this just a little while ago, after a shower... and the product claims to offer 24 hours of refreshing moisture, to lock in moisture, and its oil-free. Its a gel and I thought that was really cool.

So basically, you just put it on your skin to moisturize it.

This is what they put on the website:
Instantly: skin looks and feels supple, smooth. Stays hydrated for 24 hours.
In 1 hour: skin's moisture barrier is strengthened to prevent dryness.
With Regular Use: continuously moisturized, skin is strengthened and looks healthier.

At first when you apply it it does feel very refreshing! You dont have to use much because if you use too much, itll get sticky. But dont worry it dries Your skin will feel really soft and smooth after and super soft! haha... The refreshing feeling goes away though :( Its lightweight and I dont see or feel any residue or film. This is worth it for the money because its not as expensive as Clinique's and other brands.  It smells like aloe gel, like after  sunburn but it may become too overpowering if you put too much (duh x))
