Olay Beauty Fluid- Is it really THAT good?

[optimisticpessimist01]

I have been on the hunt for a moisturiser/skin care product that is "the one"

One that keeps cropping up is the Olay/Oil of Olay/Oil of Ulay Beauty Fluid, the one that everyone's mum and grandma used to have in the little white bottle

Question- it is really that good? Will it actually change my life like people that have been using in for 40+ years claim? Or is there an alternative that is better?

Thanks in advance!!

I used to love the Olay 7 Signs of Ageing creams but I started getting concerned about the chemicals in them and whether or not they were cruelty free. I stopped using them but they were good.

This brings back memories.
My mum used Olay, she also used nivea. Mum had beautiful skin.
Sorry I'm not much help.

it is just a basic moisturiser. It is not going to change your life in any way.

That’s not true kjhkj I wore Olay B&B tinted moisturiser to an interview last week and got the job.

Coincidence? I don’t think so!

It's a reasonably priced non-greasy moisturiser. I've used it for years.

I’m over 60 & have (mostly) used Nivea or Olay all my life and have very good skin .... very occasionally I allow myself to be conned into buying Clarins or similar but always go back to Nivea.

Wow TSS. I take that back then OP. It actually will change your life.

When my Mum and Gran had it, it was in a pink bottle.
Too strongly scented for me IIRC.

It's a reasonably priced non-greasy moisturiser.

^^This. It’s not scented either. I slap it on and forget about it. My skin is fine, but I’m crap at having a consistent routine.

I shouldn’t think it will change your life or could be described as ‘the one’ but if you’re a bit lazy like me, hate making new decisions and need to be able to buy it easily when you run out, it does the job!

Yes I remember my mum having a glass bottle of "Oil of Ulay"

I can remember the glass bottles 😁

I used to use it. It's lovely and smells great but as I've got older my skin is drier now and it's not moisturizing enough. Shame as I really liked it.

It reminds me a lot of Johnsons baby lotion

Not so sure about Olay, but my skin has never been better since I started using Nivea Soft. Big tub for a fiver, and I use it all over. Sorted 👌

I LOVE the smell of Johnson’s Baby Lotion.

Tiny bit of the oil on freshly shaved legs too.

The oldies are the goodies.

Isn’t Dame Joan a massive Nivea fan? Love it on hands and feet, but too thick for face IMO.

I used to use the original pink one in my teens and 20s and I absolutely loved it. It smelled so nice too. I’m 40s now and it’s not thick enough for me these days but I sometimes use the Olay 7 signs of ageing range and that’s pretty good.

I used to swan about with my Nana's glass bottle, exclaiming "Oil of Ulay, donkey cream of the west!" No idea why...

You mean the highly scented one in a pink bottle?

I don't think it would help very dry or ageing skin.

I was amused where I once worked, went to dinner at a guy's house and he had a bottle in his bathroom. He lived alone. Ok it might have been left there but hmmm.

I like the 7 effects ones but not the pink one!

Why is it amusing that a man would use moisturiser?
Unless this happened in the 1970s??

Ulay! I remember my mum had this.

I have had eczema most of my life from very young until mid twenties. I tried all sorts to fix it. I finally tried Olay in my twenties. I now refuse to use anything else it totally cleared up my skin which even prescription creams couldn’t do.

YY, it's no good if you have dry skin and in made my face sting like buggery!

No moisturiser is The One. Moisturiser is just the lovely gloop that seals everything in and makes your face feel nice and soft. Products that make a difference to your skin are retinols, vitamin c, azelaic acid if you suffer from rosacea. And a decent cleanser.

Just realised this is an old thread...
