After turning 30 this year, I came to the realization that I should be taking even better care of my skin than I already was, because I sure as heck am not getting younger! Yep, I said it haha. With so many skincare products on the market nowadays I honestly didn’t even know where to start though and quickly felt overwhelmed with the options.
As you all know if you follow along on Instagram that I see my dermatologist regularly due to having melanoma a few years back. She recommended I definitely get started with a Retinol product which I knew in the back of my mind was what I should be doing, but was afraid it would dry out my skin and have some sort of harsh reaction.
This is where things get crazy and timing is everything because a few weeks later Olay reached out to me asking if I’d be interested in trying out their new Retinol24 line for a month and then sharing my review! After googling the reviews and seeing amazing things about the new products, I jumped at the opportunity, knowing it would be the perfect chance to incorporate their highly coveted Retinol24 moisturizer, eye cream, and serum into my daily routine and see what I thought for myself!
Fast forward four weeks, and I’ve tried out all three of Olay’s Retinol24 products with pride and can’t say enough great things about them! I recently got a message from a woman on Instagram saying “Your skin looks great these days…have you changed up your routine at all? Please share…” So today I’m dishing my recent skin regimen upgrade and hope you’ll give it a try for yourself!
What was my favorite of the three Olay Retinol24 products?
I think my favorite of the three though has to be the night moisturizer! I love the feeling of putting on a thick yet silky smooth product right before bed, knowing that while I’m sleeping it’s doing its job of soaking into my skin and benefiting me at the same time. I also love the night eye cream so much, it’s basically like a marshmallow cloud for your eyes while you sleep 😉 Honestly though- after using for a month, I realized that you really don’t need to feel compelled to use all 3 of these products from the Retinol24 line, you can pick and choose what you want to start with and you’ll still see results.
Why did I want to use THIS Retinol product over others on the shelf?
There are a few things that drew me to Olay’s Retinol24 products over any other Retinol for my aging skin. Not only is this a VERY affordable Retinol product (on sale for under $30), but it’s effective! I mean look at the thousands of 4-5 star reviews all over the internet, it’s crazy and all true! Also, get this: Olay’s line is called Retinol24 because their blend of actives continues to penetrate your skin over the course of an entire day (hence the number 24 for 24 hours in a day) not just a single boost upon application. COOL RIGHT?!
What results did I notice in my skin after a month of using Olay’s Retinol24?
Olay’s products are total multi-taskers, meaning just after a few weeks I’ve seen visible improvements in my little fine lines, my skin feels smoother, looks brighter, AND seriously feels more firm after using it for a month. I found out that Olay’s Retinol24 products are formulated with B3 and two types of Retinol to avoid all the flakey/redness that is typically associated with Retinols (which I was afraid of) and definitely haven’t noticed while using Retinol24 so we can count that as a win in my book!
I’m looking forward to continuing these products in my nightly skincare regimen and can confidently say that they are truly effective! It’s about time a brand released an affordable (under $30) retinol line for everyone! Click here to shop the Olay Retinol24 line and see your way to brighter, firmer, younger skin 🙂
A huge thank you to Olay for partnering with me in today’s blog post! And thank you for supporting all of the brands I love to work with on Torey’s Treasures!
