Light reflecting/illuminating moisturiser to replace Olay

Sob - Olay have discontinued their amazing illuminating lotion with light particles that really does make the skin glow.

I can't see any replacement on their website but simple claim to do one. Does anyone know of anything out there that would work? Really not interested in plain moisturiser, the reflective light properties really do make me look alive!

superdrug brightening lotion in the light green packaging.... otherwise I just use normal moisturiser with a drop of some cheap strobing/ brightening drops mixed in!

If you have the money for it the Clarins flash balm is great but the Superdrug is supposed to be a fantastic dupe.
It isn't quite the same thing, it doesn't contain the same brightening particles but it does work magic on your skin in a different way.

Taking up @MrDarcysMa’s recommendation, the only Superdrug brightening item in light green packaging I can see online is this eye cream, but there are several other Superdrug naturally radiant items in light green packaging. They are currently on offer, mostly at £2.99, and the reviews overall are very good.

@MrDarcysMa thank you. Which strobing product do you use, mixed with which moisturiser?

I have used the Clarins one but not the Superdrug one, although I've read that it's a good dupe.
I checked the website and it's on there, sorry for the massive link! It does have the light reflecting particles that you're looking for so I'd start there, it's half price at the mo too

I'm confused - is the balm a moisturiser?

Mac Strobe is the bomb. I’ve had many compliments on my skin since using it

Tagging on. L’Oréal Glow Cherie is a great product. You put it over moisturiser but you could mix it in, and I sometimes mix it with BB cream. It’s about £10.
