My favourite moisturisers for the moment - Olay

Pictures and formula taken off drugstore.comOlay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum

My favourite serum for the moment (I use it as a lightweight moisturiser) is Olay Regenerist.
This what i call a good formulated product with high percentage of good skincare ingredients (Niacinaminde, Panthenol, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide 3, Tocopheryl Acetate, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Allantoin) and in a pump packaging.
A smooth texture that slips onto the skin, I use this over my eye area. (difference between this and the eye serum, just the volume.) There is a fragrance-free

My dislike of this product?
The semi-opaque packaging.
My suggestion?
Cover the packaging with an aluminium foil to prolong the product longevity from exposure to sunlight.

Formulation:
CyclopentaSiloxane, Water, Glycerin, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Niacinamide, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Panthenol, Butylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide 3, Tocopheryl Acetate, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Allantoin, Cetyl Ricinoleate, BIS PEG/PPG 14/14 Dimethicone, PEG 10 Dimethicone, PEG 100 Stearate, PEG 10 Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Metabisulfite, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Methylparaben, Benzyl Alcohol, Fragrance
Olay Body Age Transform Intensive UV Defensive Serum 175 ml

I love the texure of this Body product. Plus fact it has avobenzone as part of it sunscreen.
I do use this ON MY FACE in daytime, it goes on to be a velvety finishing on the face. Fragranced tho.
Love the formula coz of the high content of skin protecting ingredients (Niacinamide, Panthenol, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract). Good content of humectants (Glycerin, Sodium PCA, Betaine, Sorbitol).

Sunscreen: Octisalate (4%), Avobenzone (2%), Octocrylene (1%), Ensulizole (1%)

Olay Body Age Transform Body Creme Serum

Again LOVE the formulation. Not really a body "serum", it is a good body moisturiser.
Also been getting my mom and aunts to use it on the drier parts of their facial skin.
I use it after I shave to calm my chaffed skin down.

Olay Body Quench Body Lotion, Active Hydration

Not much difference in formulation from Olay Body Age Transform Body Creme Serum except that this bottle have a bigger volume and is cheaper (pricing compared on drugstore.com)
So in my buying madness, i bought 4 bottles of Olay Body Age Transform Body Creme Serum and 5 bottles of Olay Body Quench Body Lotion on ebay.com.

Formula:
Water, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Petrolatum, Isopropyl Isostearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Glycine, Alanine, Proline, Serine, Threonine, Arginine, Lysine, Glutamic Acid, Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract (Matricaria), Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Dimethicone, Stearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Panthenol, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Polyethylene, Sodium Acrylates Copolymer, Behenyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Glucoside, Dimethiconol, Disodium EDTA, Stearic Acid, PEG 100 Stearate, Sodium PCA, Betaine, Sorbitol, Ethylparaben, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, C12 13 Pareth 3, Laureth 7, Sodium Hydroxide, Fragrance, Tin Oxide, Mica, Titanium Dioxide


FOOTNOTE:
I am not implying that everyone should drop their facial moisturisers and use their body moisturisers for their face.
MY choice to use these greatly formulated products on the drier parts of my face. I love the texture and it doesn't cause me any harm or breakouts, why not!
