Truly unscented!

Posted on11/07/11 05:28 PM
Thank you for making this truly unscented. I have asthma and allergies and most manufacturers cater to those who like/tolerate scent. I have been using this for several years - am in my early 60's and my skin does not look my age. I would like to see this product say, in a night cream and a firming/lifting. UNSCENTED OF COURSE.! Thanks Olay - love the unscented. Love the Complete spf15/unscented!!!

I have used Olay since I was a preteen. My grandmother had beautiful skin and she always used Olay. I’m 50 yrs old and have great skin, I use Olay with SPF every day, I’m a natural blond and always stay out of the sun, but like the extra protection. I get regular complements on my skin and I really don’t do much or spend much. My daughter who is 24 and a nurse also uses Olay and she too has beautiful. A great product for everyone!

Love this Stuff

Posted on09/09/11 01:58 PM
I have been using this moisturizer since it was debuted and I love it. I am outdoors a lot and hate putting regular sunscreen on my face. Olay Complete All Day UV Moisturizer allows my face to tan naturally without burning. I had a facial done recently and the cosmotologist asked what sort of regime I used because my skin was soft and supple for my age. She thought I was in my late 20's whoo hoo! I told her my only regime is washing with **** soap and Moisturizing every morning with Olay Complete. She was stunned, she thought I spent a fortune on expensive moisturizers and creams. LOVE LOVE LOVE OLAY!!!

Took back for a refund

Posted on08/14/11 02:16 PM
After trying out many products, I was pleased to find the Old Formula and decided to stick with it. The new formula smells and feels like sunscreen. Makes me want to wash it off, as though I'd just come from the beach. Feels heavy, and the smell is irritating. Unless the old formula comes back, I won't be buying any more Olay products.

please bring back the old formula!

Posted on04/10/11 03:16 PM
I have been a devout user of this product for years. It has always worked so well for me, and I would use nothing else. So, I was disappointed to find out the last time I bought my moisturizer, that the formula is different. :( I do not like the smell and the consistency is different. I feel like my skin does not look as good as before. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring the old product back!!!

maybe olay thinks normal skin is very dry skin...

Posted on02/11/11 07:30 PM
I have fairly normal skin, but this product even though labeled for normal skin, was was too thick and greasy for me. Harsh winter months has left me with a slightly dry and dull complexion, but even then, this product left my skin looking very shiny, and not glowy, but like it was oily and dirty. I am returning this product immediately. I can't believe this is labeled for normal skin. The smell is harsh, the feel of it stung my skin (which most products don't bother my skin), it felt thick and heavy on my face, and left me looking like I hadn't washed my face in days.

Very Unhappy with New Olay Complete

Posted on08/15/10 10:23 PM
Thick, greasy, and smells like sunscreen. Yuck. I LOVED the old Complete product, which was simply a light, unscented and effective moisturizer with sun protection as a bonus. I think the difference between the old and the new is the active ingredient -- previously it was zinc oxide instead of the organic sunscreen agents now listed on package. I was completely satisfied with the old product but I will not buy the new formula again. What a disappointment. Did Olay do any market research before the switch? What on earth where they thinking?

One would assume that after reading our negative reviews they would go back to the old formula and it hasn't happened. Thank God I found the old formula on ebay.

awful!

Posted on07/18/10 09:16 AM
I've been using this for the past five years and I'm not the only one who noticed the difference! I loved the light, non-greasy feel of the old formula especially since I have oily/acne prone skin. I bought a new bottle recently and am frustrated! The consistency has changed -- it's thick like sunscreen and it leaves my skin extra shiny. It feels like I'm wearing a fat sheen of oil on my face and it only gets worse when it's humid or if I sweat even a little.
I recommend that no one purchase this product because it's not the bang for the buck you deserve, especially from Olay. Things changed for the worse and I'm tempted to see if the CVS knockoff works better!

Change in moisturizer texture

Posted on06/21/10 11:49 PM
i have the most sensitive skin and each product i tried on my face just messed it up. until i discovered Olay products, especially THE Complete All Day UV Moisturizer_ combination Oily. The product was so smooth on my face and it worked wonders for it. Now I am so disappointed because the product has changed, it has this strong scent and it feels so rough on the face, almost as if the face is hairy.

HORRIBLE

Posted on06/17/10 08:57 PM
Of course when I finally find my HG moisturizer for my terribly oily skin they decide to "improve" it!! This new formula is horrible! Greasy, sunscreen smell..OMG why?? The old formula was so light and good. Very disappointed in Olay right now...

Disappointed

Posted on06/02/10 03:30 PM
I've been recommending Olay Complete as the best sun screen ever for years, and not just for the face. -With fair skin, I could be outdoors all day without so much as getting even a "watch line". The secret ingrediaent was zinc oxide while still remaining light and non-greasy. I just noticed that it is no longer listed in the ingredients. If you read about skin cancer, zinc oxide is highly recomended. Why was it discontinued? Now I'm reading the complaints about the new formula... perhaps Olay can reconsider. Your other products are excellent - but I really need the old "Complete" too.

The new formula is TERRIBLE!!!

Posted on04/14/10 09:22 AM
I have been using this product loyally since I was in middle school. When I first used the new formula I noticed a change immediately. It is heavy, greasy, and smells like sunscreen. I may as well have gone to my beach bag and rubbed my heavy-duty sunscreen on my face! My face felt greasy and smelled heavily of sunscreen all day. The old formula had adequate sun protection for incidental sun exposure, so why change it? If anyone wants something more, there are plenty of regular sunscreens on the market. There are NO other face lotions like the original Olay formula on the market, so I am sad that I have to look elsewhere.
The reviews prove that hardly anyone likes the new formula. The only response from Olay to the reviews is that the new formula was tested for safety. Okay, that's great, but was it tested for customer satisfaction?
Such a shame.

Odd smell/ balls up

Posted on04/08/10 10:04 PM
Very disappointed with the product change; I have used this with the SPF for at least five years and have used Oil of Olay for over ten years. I purchased this about two months ago and noticed a change in the scent. My husband told me one morning that I smelled like a "dude" which is one reason why I stopped using the product. The second reason I stopped using it was because any time I applied the lotion it wouldn't absorb but clump up and ball off as if I had on layers of makeup.

Awful

Posted on03/25/10 12:12 PM
Awful, just plain awful! I agree with all the previous reviews. I can't beleive how bad this stuff is and I'm so disappointed with the Oil of Olay Company. Sunscreen in my eyes, nice. Why did they feel the need to "improve" this product. It was good. Don't they have enough products already without messing with the old ones? I have searched all the clearance isles looking for regular Oil of Olay ( not even trying to find combination/oily) can't find any.
Has anyone found a subsititute yet?

Very Dissapoointed

Posted on03/22/10 06:39 PM
I hate the new formula. I have been using this lotion for over a decade, and had reccommended it to countless friends. The absence of zinc, the change in the fragrance, and the change in consistancy, has lead me to find other products to use. When will the company start making the original formula again (as many users seem to be dissastified)?
