Q: Which one is better for anti-aging, the Olay vitamin C cream with 24 Peptides or the Olay Vitamin C serum with 24 peptides? Also, are the ingredients the same in each product? thank you!

submitted by Diana - 2 years ago
  • A: Hey Diana, Both are great anti aging products to use. Ideally you would first apply the Olay Vitamin C + Peptide 24 Serum and then the Olay Regenerist Vitamin C + Peptide 24 Face Moisturizer on top.

    This is a great product for the money. I’m on my second bottle. My skin is glowy after using this. I love it. It has a slight scent that is sweet. It doesn’t bother me. I put this on right before my moisturizer with no sticky residue. I only have four stars bc the dropper doesn’t work like it’s supposed to and it’s extremely difficult to get the product out.

    I have used this daily for a year and a half and I will continue to use it as long as it’s available! I’ve also recommended this to numerous friends and family. Here’s the breakdown: Skin Type: acne prone & sensitive Skin Improvements Noticed: evening out texture, lighting pigmentation, soften skin and provided a subtle glow to skin. (note, it will take time to see improvements) Cons: Pills with select products, took trial and error to find what moisturizer and sunscreen to use (I use Hero Cosmetics green sunscreen and NO pilling!)

    Absorbs well. I thought that the dropper did not dispense well. I would like Olay packaging to be fully recyclable. No silvered cardboard or plastic. It is affordable, but I am not convinced that this is the best vitamin c product
