Liked it!
Pinkeebler (25 reviews)

I actually liked this product; I don't know why this is getting such low reviews!! I use this almost every night for a few months and even though it doesn't do it immediately, it helps in the long run. It does not help in any way with my acne, but it certainly doesn't make it worse. I think I am going to make a routine of using this after I wash my face at night and use the beauty fluid before my makeup in the morning. I will admit this though, this does have a very odd smell, but I don’t notice it a few minutes after application so I wouldn’t really make this a factor. This has been a staple in my collection of favorite products and it isn’t going away anytime soon. I hope the fluid is just as good because it is on my shopping list for the next time I go out. — 1 month ago

I love this stuff
Mudkitten (25 reviews)

After using high dollar products for years then being in an economic slump, I have gone back to my roots and the results are far better. Hey at least there is something good coming out of the failing economy-you learn that higher price doesnt mean higher quality. You dont get better than this or any Olay product. Its magic. — 2 years, 5 months ago

Not bad!
omeadhra (58 reviews)

I like this stuff (as I do all Olay products). It's as hydrating as the packaging promises. The packaging is nothing special (because it's simply the same old Olay box all their products come in-- but that's not very important). Very good buy for the price. — 2 years, 6 months ago

Love this moisturizer!
FabDiva20 (52 reviews)

This moisturizer is the best! I sometimes use this moisturizer during the day after I wash my face from a long day from work. I love how it hydrates my skin and leaves it very soft. I do recommend this for Winter season since some people do get dry skin during that season. — 2 years, 6 months ago

Olay Active Hydrating
Gina2cute (1 reviews)

I love this cream. It does just what it claims to do. You put it on and you instantly see a difference. It makes your skin soft, smooth and gives it a glow. I use it daily morning and night. I love that it is not greasy, so it can be worn in the summer as well. I get compliments on my skin all the time and I know it is because it is due to this product!!! — 2 years, 10 months ago

Rich, Skin-smoothing Hydration
finovair (3 reviews)

I use this cream at night after my skin-cleansing routine. I love the way it really moisturizes my dry-to-combo skin. I've tried MANY, SUPER expensive moisturizing creams (well, for me, that's over $25)... and they don't hold a candle to Olay's Original Active Hydrating Cream. I am pretty much in love with this stuff. My only negative is--- it runs out way too quickly! — 3 years, 1 month ago

Thank You Olay
AmeliaFay (1 reviews)

I have extremely dry & flaky skin on my temple and eyebrows, I also am alergic to most creams & lotions that I have tried (including some of Olay's other products). This cream is amazing! I can use this cream every day and it helps with the dry skin and gets rid of the flakes! As long as perfumes are not a problem for you and you have sensative skin I highly recommend this product! — 3 years, 10 months ago

I use it at night
Janade (3 reviews)

I use this product as my night time moisturizer. I find it heavier than the Olay daily moisturizer with SPF 15 protection, which I wear during the day -- but this is perfect for night. Unlike others, I love the scent and the texture is just right -- heavy enough that I feel I'm really hydrating my skin, but not so greasy or heavy that I feel oily. — 4 years, 1 month ago
