Mini Regenerist Retinol24 +Peptide Night Moisturizer : Sunscreen, not necessarily "moisturizer"
I tried this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion. This product is labeled and marketed as "hydrating moisturizer with sunscreen" on the exterior product packaging. The packaging details describe the "purpose" of the product as "sunscreen" and its "uses" as "helps prevent sunburn".
The jar itself removes the reference of "hydrating moisturizer" found on the external packaging and simply states "Olay Regenerist Whip with sunscreen"
The product is light-weight and goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly. It has a strong smell that I found unpleasant, but the smell dissipates somewhat after application. The smell was my first indication that this product is primarily intended for use as a sunscreen, not necessarily as a moisturizer with sunscreen properties. This impression was further reinforced by reading the directions on the packaging that state to "apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure" and to "reapply at least every 2 hours".
I did not test the product's sunscreen capabilities and cannot comment on its ability to prevent sunburn.
This doesn't appear to be a product for everyday use as a moisturizer, especially if it needs to be reapplied every 2 hours, but rather specifically for use as a sunscreen. I believe that the product packaging lacks complete information that would allow a customer to feel confident that they are purchasing a product to suit their needs. This product would best be referred to as a "sunscreen" instead of a "hydrating moisturizer with sunscreen".
I would not use this product as a daily moisturizer and since it needs to be reapplied every two hours to maintain it's sunscreen properties, I would only use it in that capacity if I was not wearing makeup.
