The mysterious moisturiser revealed...
.JPG)
Dermatologically tested & PH neutral.
You must know somebody in your life who uses this moisturiser. Again, this moisturiser was recommended to me by my mother in law. She has been using it for the past 25 years! Her skin is amazing, she is over 50 and has hardly any wrinkles, no redness or spots & scars.
I did SO much research on this before I started using it and came to the conclusion that I would give it a try. At first, I disregarded the product thinking that it just wasn't enough or right.
However, I have been using it for the past month and it's the most non offensive moisturiser that I have ever used.

It's very light in texture, kind of watery. This is about the amount I use on my face.
It is instantly absorbed into the skin making it feel supple, moist and fresh. Furthermore it is non greasy and dries to a matt finish. I think it's such a perfect base just before make up. It smells a little bit like baby lotion/powder and overall is a pleasant scent.
In addition to this is the price.
100ml - £3.41
200ml - £4.79
It is available in the normal/dry/oily/combination OR sensitive.
I didn't purchase the sensitive as I read that the normal one is also suitable for sensitive skin and my little experiment has proved that it is. Just google reviews on the beauty fluid to find out more.
I have tried TOO many moisturisers and seriously can't afford to keep re purchasing expensive skincare that do or don't work. I needed something simple, something that was moisturising yet not overpowering. In the past I was using really rich moisturisers that in a sense was too moisturising that it was giving me tiny little bumps near my laughter lines as it was settling in them.
The reason why I put this post off for so long is because, I didn't want anybody to rush out and buy it without me reviewing it properly. I have tested it, and even just before or after my menstrual cycle it didn't break me out!!!!
DISCLAIMER: What works for me, may not work for you.... but, this is definitely worth a try, it wont harm or irritate your skin as it's so gentle and soothing. If you are thinking of purchasing make sure you get the 100ml first to see if you like it. Even if you don't, it makes an amazing moisturiser to use on your legs after you have shaved. I have just finished my tube and I'm off to get a new one!!

Olay defo rocks!
Me love your blog :) xXx
Anyone could do that with some stick-on gems, I guess, but the concept is awesome!
I have used Olay Definity cream but it was too rich and didnt seem to do anything for me.
I might have to try this. Thanks for testing it out to make sure it was ok to use.

My mum uses ponds cream. Shes 57 and never had work done and still looks about 40. She still gets modelling offers and Ponds ALSO doesnt work for me! :( Goddammit!! xx
Great review!

I'm glad people are starting to re-discover the Olay fluid, it's been an award winner for many years. I can't use it as a primer base for the makeup since i have combination/slightly oily skin and need some good product on the forehead and eyelids, but it is definitely a thumbs up moisturizer.

If you would like an inexpensive moisturiser for your face then I would recommend Nivea Soft (the one in the white tub). It is fantastic and smells great too. I've gone through many pots of this it's that good! :) x

I'm seriously thinking about going back to basics with this one. Is there a version with spf?
