Instead of concocting a potion of AHA’s, Vitamin B3’s, and Collagen in your bathroom, you can now use the 5-in-1 Olay Super Serum to simplify your skincare routine. This power-packed formula incorporates key ingredients like activated niacinamide, collagen peptide, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and AHA. Chalked full of benefits the Olay Super Serum helps to provide deep moisture, even skin complexion, reduce dark spots, and correct fine lines and wrinkles on the face. This clinically tested serum can be used on dry, oily, and normal skin types.
Formula and Skincare Advancements
This super serum generated some buzz on TikTok which piqued my interest in trying it. So the team at Olay was kind enough to send over this new serum for me to try out and give my review.
As someone with dry skin that deals with hyperpigmentation, I decided to put these claims to the test. Every night for one week, I applied the Olay Super Serum to my face to see any differences in the texture of my skin. The 1.0 oz formula comes in this purple iridescent color with a subtle floral fragrance. I take the dropper and apply a small amount across my cheeks and forehead. The serum glides easily across my face and absorbs quickly into my skin. I like how a little bit goes a long way and provides ample moisture to my skin.
One of the top ingredients used in the Super Serum is the activated niacinamide. Over the last several years, this has become a top-trending key ingredient in many beauty and skincare products.
Olay scientists in the U.S. and Singapore made a technological breakthrough by formulating a low-pH activated niacinamide, unlocking the “supercharged” power of this Vitamin B3. Principal Scientist for Olay America, Dr. Rolanda Wilkerson said “Our groundbreaking discovery of low-pH niacinamide and its subsequent use in the new OLAY Super Serum formula offers users all of the benefits of niacinamide, with improved results in less time.” This advanced method helps the niacinamide to effectively penetrate and absorb into your skin so you get optimal results fast.
Top Ingredients and Color-Changing Texture
Alongside the niacinamide, the Olay Super Serum also incorporates AHA in it which helps to exfoliate and hydrate the skin. This ingredient helps to address hyperpigmentation concerns from acne scarring and lighten dark spots. Next, you have collagen peptide which helps support skin’s natural renewal process. Then, Vitamin E helps to soothe and moisturize your skin making it feel softer and helping to defend against pollution from the environment. Finally, you have Vitamin C, and this helps to brighten and reinforce your skin’s moisture barrier. This also fights against free radicals that may leave visible damage to your face.
Applying The Serum
This “Super” Serum truly condenses your skincare routine by unifying all these beneficial ingredients into one powerhouse formula.
Another unique aspect of Olay’s serum is the color-changing component. When you first apply it, the texture will look almost gel-like with this purple holographic hue. Then as you rub it in the skin the color changes from purple to clear. This signals that the formula is actively being absorbed into the skin. Products like color-changing lip oils and blushes that change colors because of your PH have become very popular in the beauty space and Olay has implemented this feature in their new serum.
The packaging also feels premium with the formula coming in this circular, iridescent glass bottle. I like how the application is precise with the white dropper giving just the right amount of product without any frills or mess. The Olay Super Serum name is etched on the front of the bottle and stands out on your vanity.
After testing out the serum for one week, I can confidently say that I’ve seen a difference in how silky smooth the texture of my skin has become. When I use it at night my face feels hydrated and moisturized, helping me to get a better night’s sleep. Plus, Olay has made this serum affordable as well, you can use manufacturer coupons from P&G on the Super Serum at retailers like Walgreens, CVS, and more. Overall, if you’re looking to take your skincare routine to the next level, the Olay Super Serum is for you.
