Olay Retinol 24 Eye Cream Fragrance Free Reviews

Olay Regenerist Retina 24 Eyes
Packaging
The packaging was beautiful with a mirror-like box that’s looks special and I am sure Olay just did that to make it stand out on the shop shelves, but I was disappointed that is was encased in so much plastic and having to open it was annoying. The other night serum was just in cardboard and was much more environmentally friendly.

I even struggled to open the jar, it was really tight and when I managed to open it the issue is that there was no seal to stop the cream getting into the lid which made it greasy and hard to twist open. For the price and look of the product I would expect seals for freshness and also practical use.

Smell & Feel
Its light weight nice textured cream and a little goes a long way. No fragarance.

How it worked
It is nice and rich and deeply moisturising but quick absorption so the perfect treatment before bed. I used it over my hands too. My skin is prone to dryness and I need a product that rejuvenates my skin, my skin feels firmer and also I like the night routine to wind down at the end of the day, apply a cream before shut-eye and wake up with little dark circles.

I would probably buy this again if the packaging wasn’t such an issue.

I really liked this eye cream I was given the opportunity to try. Olay’s Retinol 24 Eye Cream has a lovely silky texture that glides over the eye area extremely easily. A teeny tiny bit goes an extremely long way. What I really liked was that there was no residue sitting around my eyes, my skin just seemed to soak it right up. The little pot of eye cream is exactly what I had expected and is exactly the thing that annoys me about the majority of night creams on the market, and that is the fact that there is the risk of introducing contaminated and bacteria into the eye cream as you are dipping your finger directly into the product in the pot. Why is no one able to redesign the eye cream pot to reduce the contamination, a pump bottle or some sort of single dose applicator, or a simple spatula would have given you at least an extra star.

Wow! What an eye cream!

I am usually one who find eye creams far to heavy or irritating for my sensitive skin, and so I was quite skeptical when asked to trial this particular product.

I have been noticing fine lines and puffiness around my eyes since the birth of my second child, and was hopeful that this product would help relieve some of that.

The product itself came packaged in a small pot. While this does make application of the product easier, I do question how hygienic this is over time and wonder if a pump or tube would be better suited.

The cream itself is true to form, and is completely fragrance free. The consistency is thick, but not greasy, and a small amount of product goes a long way.

Upon application, the cream has a deeply nourishing feeling and is quite luxurious.

I used this product each night before bed, and my skin felt soft and moisturised.

I have definitely seen an improvement in not only the fine lines around my eyes but the puffiness is noticeably less each morning.

A beautiful product for the price.

First thoughts on the Olay eyes retinol24 night eye cream - the writing is on the clear packaging with a separate silver piece inside the outer packaging is not easy on the eyes. You've got to push down and make sure its flat to not cop a sort of 3D feeling effect there. Just seems unnecessary.

The caution on the side made me laugh a little "avoid contact with eyes", I mean, I know you have to put that there just for safety but.. might as well place "please don't rub into eyeballs". Although I do note that is also says "use with a sunscreen product and limit sun exposure" which... Well for one, its a night cream so you wouldn't specifically use it with a sunscreen product per se, but also that limit sun exposure either makes this product difficult to use or potentially life difficult to particpate in..

On the back it says "Olays retinol24 Complex plus Niacinamide" as if thats the name of the product, which is somewhat misaligned with the front of the box. It goes onto say it helps resurface skin - which arguably is not something I'm keen to do with the skin around my eyes, I'm not sure it needs to be resurfaced... "... visibly smooths fine lines, "unleash eye's glow" and even texture.
The eye's glow comment is a bit of a weird one.

"How it works: Proprietary formula delivers the retinol24 complex plus 24 hours of hydration" - Does mentioning it is propriety tell me information that details how it works?
This essentially says the formula delivers the complex and hydration.

I don't think an eye cream can have anything to do with how bright your eyes will be or are so I'm not really sure those claims should be on the package. Additionally, it is a very small pot of eye cream, all that packaging is competely unnecessary. None of the plastic is warranted for this product. Please consider using less or no plastic in future designs.

The product comes in a little pot with screw on lid - a design I feel is notorious for allowing the product to dry itself out and thus, it runs out sooner.

It has a very light scent, doesn't fragrances added - which is always a bonus. It's easy to apply and goes on nicely, certainly feels like its not going to dry your eye skin out like buggery.

After using consistently for a few weeks though it did begin to dry my upper eye skin out. Though I'm not really sure if this was intended as only an undereye product or not? It just says eyes.

In terms of unleashing my eyes glow... Thats a pretty tall order and its quite tricky to say if that was achieved or not.

I would say that on days where I felt raggedy ann, it did probably make an impact. Overall by the end I felt I had less puffy eye days, minimising those pesky undereye lines somewhat. Maybe a longer period and it will have an increased effect than already experienced.

Thank you Beautyheaven and Olay for giving me the opportunity to trial Olay's Retinol 24 Eye Cream Fragrance Free. I have been using this eye cream every night for nearly four weeks. I have never used a retinol product before and i wasn't sure how my skin would react but i have to say that I had no reaction to it.

The product comes in a 15ml blue plastic jar and is very easy to use. To use, i smooth the cream around the eye area including under eye. It is a thick and silky consistency that spreads easily and it absorbs quick too. So far I have noticed that my eye area is so hydrated.

I look forward to continuing using this eye cream but I am not sure if I would repurchase it as i still didn't see any improvements in reduction of dark circles, wrinkles and fine lines.

I was very excited to trial the Olay Retinol 24 Eye Cream and was very surprised to find that it is also fragrance free.

I also found that it was very rich in texture and helped give a lot of moisture to my eye area.
Olay Retinol 24 Eye Cream gave my eye area a lot of moisture but unfortunately I didn't notice any changes in my fine lines or dark eye circles.

I teamed up using this with the Olay Retinol 24 Serum Fragrance Free and found this gave the best results using the duo.

I highly recommend using sunscreen whilst using Olay Retinol Eye cream as they recommend on the packaging as I found my skin had become more sensitive during the day with the bright sun.

The eye cream jar itself is a good size.
I would like to see Olay change there packaging to something a little more environmentally friendly and non plastic.

I love this little eye cream. It feels thick and silky and in the mornings my under eye area is soft and hydrated.

Despite its thickness and richness, the cream is silky and it absorbs very quickly into the skin. It did not cause any milia which is a great bonus because I usually get a couple when using thick creams in my under eye area. I did not experience any irritation from use either.

The tub is quite a big size for an eye cream so this will definitely last a long time.

Aside from hydration, I personally did not see an improvement with brightening / dark circles - however I will continue to use and see how it goes over a longer period of time.

I actually got my husband to use this eye cream too - because he has fine lines and I wanted to see how it faired with them. Good news to report, it definitely has a hydrating and plumping effect which saw those fine lines slightly reduce over a 2 week period with use every second night.

This eye cream comes in a shiny sleek attractive tub to match the serum and looks cute on my bedside dresser.
I suffer from sensitive very dry skin so I have to be careful with fragranced eye creams setting me off but I’m pleased that this product has next to no scent with no irritation.
The texture is beautiful! Non greasy with a medium to light silky feel.
It has a slight cooling sensation on the eye area when applied which I found nice and calming.
I found it instantly hydrating and fast absorbing. It gives your eye area a soft to touch texture after application. I’ve used other eye creams that tend to migrate into the eye which I hate but this one settles in really well.
It plumps those fine dehydration lines around the eye area. I’ve
noticed a difference over the last 14 days of use.
Thanks for the trial BH X

I wasn't sure what to expect from this eye cream. I have very thin skin under the eyes and fine lines. I generally go for eye creams that are super rich, hydrating and that have quite a bit of 'weight' to them. The Olay Retinol 24 Eye Cream is rich, however it's consistency is almost like a whipped cream. MUCH lighter than I would expect. I'm quite generous with my application and in the mornings, the skin around my eyes seemed happy and wasn't dried out. I didn't experience any irritation from the retinol either, which is a good sign.

I've actually begun layering both the Retinol 24 Serum and Retinol 24 Eye Cream around my eye area, and the result so far have been great (again, I haven't noticed any irritation at all!). The skin around my eyes is starting to look fresher and I hope that with time, it just keeps on looking better!
