Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I like this face cream enough to stock up on it as they seem to be replacing it with a 'whipped' version that's VERY sloppy seconds, indeed! What I don't like about it: Despite the instructions saying it's for use Day AND Night, I found this cream worked best when worn AT NIGHT ONLY. I use it over all my Korean routine of Essences, Serums and lotions on face and neck. The cream has a smooth, velvety texture that absorbs quickly and doesn't leave an oily film on the skin. Over some time, my skin seems brighter in the morning. You do have to use it regularly, though. As a DAY CREAM, I found this to leave a chalky white cast on the skin. Plus, it takes ages to rub in fully and I still see white streaks. When I apply my SPF over this, it looks awful - very Casper The Friendly Ghost. I guess it's less noticeable at night. What I like about this cream: The smell is lovely. It spreads easily, ABSORBS QUICKLY and plays well when applied over Emulsions and other Serums you may use. I'm never without this face creme for nightly use. It's never broken me out yet and mine is a fickle, troublesome, Combination/Oily skin at its most temperamental. I tried the newer ideation titled 'Whipped' and it's not a patch on the original Olay Luminous Creme - not even close!! The price is affordable and easily outperforms most face creams I've ever used and like a lot of women, I've used a LOT over the years at price points from modest to stratospheric. So then, 4-Stars only because it SHOULD work equally well for night and day use and it does NOT. Other than that, this deserves its spot in my beauty Pantheon. Long may they continue to formulate this version... Let's just say it's an excellent 4.5 rating. Follow up: January 5th, 2019 This cream PILLS when worn under sunscreen. That’s why I only use it at night. If you like it, Olay now makes a.day version with an adequate SPF. It comes in travel-friendly-sized tube👏🏼. Thank you for taking the time to read this review - hopefully, it's helped you somewhat!
