I recently tried the OLAY Niacinamide and hyaluronic acid super serum as part of the trial team. I often use hyaluronic acid but had never used niacinamide before. I was really excited to try this because there has been so much hype about niacinamide. My skin is often dehydrated and in need of something to support it. I do not get much acne, although this whole mask wearing situation really has meant my nose and cheeks are extra sensitive and have broken out when i have had to wear a mask for a period of time such as in the office. I started to use the product as directed, twice a day, morning and night. Two pumps and massage into skin until absorbed. The serum feels light and refreshing. It really is nice to put on and feels great. I make sure i have washed my face ... MoreI recently tried the OLAY Niacinamide and hyaluronic acid super serum as part of the trial team.

I started to use the product as directed, twice a day, morning and night. Two pumps and massage into skin until absorbed. The serum feels light and refreshing. It really is nice to put on and feels great. I make sure i have washed my face well first, dry, use the serum and then follow with a good moisturiser or a night time cream to help store moisture. My skin is really great at the moment and i am very happy with the result. I really do not like the bottle though. The dispenser is really user friendly or helpful. I use it for the first pump and then tip some more out of the bottle. Might just be me, i have tried a number of ways, but it just isn't efficient.

I LOVE this serum - it instantly transforms my skin. Fine lines and blemishes show huge improvement, my skin is clear, smooth and soft. I wish I could give this serum five stars but the packaging is terrible. The dropper is a pain to use and creates product waste. The bottle is too small - 30ml is a very small amount of product for the price. There is also no way to tell how much product you have left as you cannot see inside the bottle - you can't even tell how much product you have left by the weight of the bottle as it is quite thick and heavy glass. I would happily pay extra for this serum in a larger size and a simple moisturiser jar so I can open the lid and see how much there is and so you can also easily put unused serum back into the jar. Beautiful serum - ... MoreI LOVE this serum - it instantly transforms my skin. Fine lines and blemishes show huge improvement, my skin is clear, smooth and soft.

I received the Olay Niacinamide + Hyaluronic Super Serum to trial and have been using for the last month. On first impressions the serum is thick and milky and has a light scent to it which does not linger once applied on the skin. Because of its thicker creamier texture, I added this into my routine as the last step before my moisturiser. The bottle is a super cute pipette design that draws up the serum when you open it. I don't love that there is no way of knowing how much is left as it's a white bottle though. The serum integrated with my other serums perfectly and it absorbs really fast. I had no bad reactions or break outs and had no problem applying make up over the top. One thing I have noticed since using this serum is that my skin has smoothed out a lot.

I had some small bumps on my forehead and temples which have all gone since starting this serum and I have noticed my skin is more hydrated. I have not noticed improvement to my pigmentation as yet. Originally the instructions are to use two pumps but one is more than enough. I am going to continue using this serum as I feel like it is helping my skin.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion. ] I was really happy to be able to try this serum. Niacinamide and hyaluronic acid all in one - GREAT! I was using a niacinamide serum prior to trialing this product and was really happy with it. But also having skin that borders on dry, hyaluronic acid is always a good idea so this serum seemed like it was going to be a home run. Unfortunately, I can’t say that I loved it. The presentation is nice enough and I’m a fan of the self-dosing dropper bottles that are gaining in popularity with skincare brands. However on this bottle, the opening is quite narrow so I have to really watch it when I replace the dropper in the bottle. If I bump the side, some of the serum goes over the edge and drips down.

However on this bottle, the opening is quite narrow so I have to really watch it when I replace the dropper in the bottle. If I bump the side, some of the serum goes over the edge and drips down. Putting the dropper back in the bottle is a bit like a game of Operation. After a couple of weeks of use, I’m not actually a fan of this serum because I really don’t find it hydrating at all. In fact, my skin actually feels dryer now than it did before. After I apply this serum, my skin feels very dry to the touch. It’s nice to have products that absorb well, but I need that little bit of lingering hydration on top of my skin to feel comfortably moisturised. I do feel my skin looks a bit more luminous, but I’m not willing to trade the itchy around the nose, dry feeling I have now for a small uptick in glow. I think if you have normal skin, or possibly even oily skin, this serum might be a much better fit. As much as I was hoping this serum would be the magic bullet in my skincare routine, it’s not. And quite frankly, I find it overpriced for what it is.

This serum from Olay comes in a 30ml heavy glass bottle. The packaging feels luxurious and expensive. It has a self-loading dropper which makes it easy to dose out the product. The serum itself feels like a smooth silky liquid. The consistency of this serum is quite lightweight and on application it spreads easily, glides on smoothly and absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving any sticky feeling. Hence it does not interfere with other products in my routine and also sits well under makeup which I absolutely loved. This serum is formulated with Niacinamide which is the hero ingredient in this and is third on the ingredient list; however the product does not mention the percentage of it. This serum has floral fragrance to it and on application it does not linger ... MoreThis serum from Olay comes in a 30ml heavy glass bottle. The packaging feels luxurious and expensive.

This serum is formulated with Niacinamide which is the hero ingredient in this and is third on the ingredient list; however the product does not mention the percentage of it. This serum has floral fragrance to it and on application it does not linger for a long time so it did not bother me. My skin type is dry and dehydrated. I have been using two pumps of this serum for couple of weeks now in my morning and evening routine on my face and neck. I wouldn’t say this serum intensely hydrates my skin or gives a dewy glow as the product claims. I haven’t really noticed any visible improvements in my skin in terms of hydration and glow. Since this serum has Niacinamide, I was hoping it would help with some hyperpigmentation marks on the sides of my cheek and on my chin but did not notice any visible results. (Note: the product does not claim to do any of this). Overall, I will use up this serum as it is not a bad product but I wouldn’t get another bottle of this as it did not impress me with its results and considering the price I think for a Niacinamide serum it is a little expensive.

So, to begin, I am quite picky when it comes to using skincare products. I’ve studied beauty therapy and generally use products recommended by a dermal therapist. However, I was impressed with the potency of the Olay serum. It seemed to have a great impact on the hydration of my skin which I believe to be attributed to the hyaluronic acid. It definitely made a slight improvement on my dark patches (of which there are an abundance!) and seems to absorb nicely into the skin. I didn’t feel greasy afterwards but my skin didn’t feel naked either. Which I really loved. My favourite part was the packaging. I’m a fan of the auto dropper. It helped me make sure I wasn’t overusing or under using the product. The smell was light but fragrant. I did find however, that if I did ... MoreSo, to begin, I am quite picky when it comes to using skincare products.

It helped me make sure I wasn’t overusing or under using the product. The smell was light but fragrant. I did find however, that if I did accidentally get any on my eyelids, it made them slightly flaky and itchy. The ingredients are definitely active, because there’s a tingly feeling after application, particularly after a good exfoliation. I liked the product. And would recommend it to those who are at peace with using supermarket brands. I’m probably too loyal to my fancy, expensive brands, but if you’re not into that, this is a great solution and a decent price!

Olay Niacinamide and Hyualuronic Super Serum is for adding hydration and designed to be used twice a day ahead of moisturising. The serum comes in a 30ml bottle with a pump dispenser however you have to wind the top off first and it’s like a dropper that you push the lid down to release the serum. I found this dispenser to be overly tricky to use and found I needed to wind the lid all the way back down in order to re get a second pump of serum, certainly not the most user friendly packaging. The smell for me was a little over powering and the serum was much ‘creamier’ and thicker then your usual water based serum. Surprisingly, despite the thicker appearance the serum did sink into my skin easily and I found I needed a full two pumps to spread across my face.

My face didn’t feel oily on application and I do suffer oily skin. I didn’t notice any major visible improvement in my skin after a good 7-10 days of use but did find my skin was adequately moisturised. I guess like anything long term use is advised. However I prefer a more water based lighter serum as applying moisturiser following this serum would have felt too much for me. In addition, the packaging of the serum in addition to the smell would probably discourage me from re purchasing.

As I used my own products for the other rest I am unsure whether this may have impacted the results. Serum I received the Olay Niacinamide + Hyaluronic Super Serum to try. I had only had the product for about a week and a half before having to write this review. If there was a longer period to try the product then maybe I may have seen more. The serum feels cool and absorbs quickly into your skin. It had a nice scent and didn’t leave residue on my skin. This product suited me as I do get dry skin. After using this product my skin felt well hydrated and I stopped using as much makeup as my skin looked healthier. I would recommend this product to family and friends to try.

Both Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid are staples in my skincare, and I use them religiously in the morning and at night so when I got into BeautyHeaven's trial team I was beyond happy to get this. Let's start with the positive aspects. I'm truly in love with the bottle as it looks really sleek and somewhat expensive, I'm a fan of the dropper as I think that's the best way to dispense serums in an adequate way without wasting product. The consistency is not too thick and not too thing, somewhere in between which my skin actually liked because it absorbed pretty easily. But that's pretty much it for me! I've been using niacinamide serum and hyaluronic acid basically every day, twice a day, for the past three years and my skin is very grateful as it looks so supple. ... MoreBoth Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid are staples in my skincare, and I use them religiously in the morning and at night so when I got into BeautyHeaven's trial team I was beyond happy to get this.

I've been using niacinamide serum and hyaluronic acid basically every day, twice a day, for the past three years and my skin is very grateful as it looks so supple. But this was not the case as this product didn't do anything for me, instead my skin started looking dull again. Also, it didn't work well with my snail mucin essence and sunscreen as I noticed some pilling. And while fragrance doesn't usually bother me, this serum has a faint scent that really doesn't work with me. Then I checked the price tag and honestly why would I spend that much, even thought it might be convenient to use two products at once, when can I get my usual products for a fraction of the price?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion. ] I am super impressed with this serum! For me, the true indicator of a product that I will want to re-purchase is whether or not I actually want to use it. I didn't begrudge using this serum daily. It is very light and absorbs quickly leaving your skin with a nice glow (yes, really!). Although the glow doesn't last all day, I do feel like my use of this has improved my skins texture and appearance. This goes on well under makeup or other creams (I mainly used it with other Olay day and night creams). I'm 31 with combo/oily skin. This product is recommended for dry skin but don't let that scare you. It absorbs instantly and doesn't leave a heavy film. My only complaint is re the recommended dosage per use.

The directions say to use two droppers of product for your face which is about what you need. Unfortunately refilling the dropper isn't as intuitive and easy as it could be, but that's a seriously minor complaint. The package otherwise is very good quality and looks nice! Would re-purchase.
