Olay Regenerist Collagen Peptide 24 Eye Cream 1-star Reviews
Not for me
I received the Olay Regenerist Collagen Peptide 24 face moisturizer for free from PINCHme in exchange for my honest review. I'll be honest I've never cared too much for this brand. I've bought a few products throughout the years but nothing that I ever actually loved or wanted to continue using after a couple times. And sadly I have to say the same for this specific product as well. I did give it more time then I would like so that my review was honest. My issue was no matter how long I waited or what products I used it always pilled. To the point I couldn't even lightly graze my face to move a piece of hair out of the way without getting rolled up product on my hands. And secondly after researching I found out that Olay isn't 100% cruelty free and that's not a brand I'm willing to support, even if I had loved the product.

Great moisturizer for sensitive skin!
I have been using Olay Regenerist Collagen Peptide 24 Face Moisturizer for a few weeks. To start, I have combination and sensitive skin. This product did not make my skin more oily and I did not break out. As fot packaging, I'm not a fan of having to dip my fingers in a jar. To avoid this, I have to use a small flat scoop to avoid contamination. This moisturizer's texture is thick and creamy. There are no phthalates, mineral oil, perfume or dyes, and is fragrance free. A little goes a long way and absorbs quickly, drying down quickly without feeling greasy. This moisturizer leaves your skin hydrated and firm, keeping your skin looking healthy. I'm knocking off a star because Olay is NOT cruelty free. I received this product from PINCHme so that I may give my honest opinion.
Product pilled and is not truly cruelty-free
When I initially applied the Olay Regenerist Collagen Peptide 24 Face Moisturizer to my skin, it felt light and refreshing. The texture was creamy but not too heavy and I appreciate that it is fragrance-free so that it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin.
Unfortunately though, the product noticeably pilled on my skin. At first, I thought maybe it was reacting with one of the serums I used underneath, but when I tried it with just hyaluronic acid underneath and waited until it was fully absorbed before applying the moisturizer, it still pilled. My previous moisturizer didn't pill, so I'm convinced that the issue is with the formula of the Olay moisturizer. It was so bad that if anything happened to brush past my face during the day or I changed my clothes, I would see little white pills left behind on my skin. On top of that, I did not notice any significant improvements in my skin after using the moisturizer consistently for a few weeks.
The biggest reason I would not purchase this product though is that Olay is not truly cruelty-free, despite its pledges to end animal testing listed on its website. While I appreciate that they are supposedly investing in cruelty-free research alternatives, they still sell their products in countries that require animal testing by law, so they are indirectly condoning it. I would rather spend my money on the many other brands who are truly cruelty-free and much more effective. I received this product free from PINCHme in exchange for my honest review.
Horrible!
After a few uses the skin under my eyes started to sting, a lot and it got red and puffy. I stopped using it and only used regular moisturizer there for about 3 weeks. Today I went back to an eye serum I had previously used with no issues and I had a bad reaction to that. The skin under my eyes hurts and is all red and puffy. It looks like I was stung by a bunch of bees or something. I previously
used this serum and it worked great. I'm
afraid Oil of Olay Collagen and Peptide 24 eye cream ruined my eyes forever. Wish I never tried it.
Poor Quality
After using this product, I felt like I had a thin layer of Elmer's Glue on my face. I tried to wipe it off, but it just flaked and looked like I had dandruff on my face. The only way to remove it was by washing it off. I used Olay Pro X Hydra Firming Cream for years, along with a couple of other products, but never experienced anything like this. While using the Hydra Firming Cream a couple of my doctors asked if the birthdate in my file was correct! I'll never understand why a company would discontinue a good product and replace it with something substandard.
Disappointment!
I was excited when I received my eye cream. Wanted to try something new since I'm getting older and I love the original OLAY creams. I didn't use the eye cream right away when I got my order in the mail. I started this past Friday. I wanted to see how my eyes and face was going to react. The eye cream had a tingling feeling at first. When used at night, I woke up with puffy eyes. Went away after a couple of hours from being wake. Tried it again and the same exact thing happened. I'm done! Returning item and will find something else. It's not for everyone. I like the fact it didn't have a perfume odor.
Can barely see
Wanted to love this. When I first started to use this, I experienced a little dryness to the outer corner of one eye. I continued to use it, thinking the irritation was due to something else because I've never had issues with Olay products before. Today I woke up to a mild burning sensation to my eyes and both eyes being red, dry, and swollen. My eyelids are so swollen I can barely see. My cheek and forehead are rashy and puffy from the Collagen Peptide 24 serum. Will stick to my other Olay products.
