Pros:

Used to be a great product - but not at the moment.

Cons:

The new formula contains Avobenzone which caused me to have a HUGE cystic breakout after 1 use. However...there's hope in the future

From the Olay corporate website. "I would like to share with you that we recently decided to relaunch our Original Sensitive version. Although our newest formula with Skin shield technology is safe and has strong UV protection, we realize the original sensitive version with its gentle formula better meets the needs of our Complete Sensitive users. The original version will be widely available in April 2010 and will say 'Classic Gentle Formula'. Hope this helps!"

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Dried out my face and made it extra oily.

I tried this while on dans regimen because I ran out of his moisturizer and needed something and this was recommended. This was TERRIBLE. It dried out my skin so much, my face looked awful and I was embarrassed to go to school! You could visibly see how oily and dry( it was actually peeling) it was. Do not try this product unless you mix it with another moisturizer like dans.

Cons:

Beakouts.

The new formula is horrible. I have been using Oil of Olay since I was 13, I am now 23 and have never had a problem with it. I bought a new bottle two weeks ago and all of a sudden I have a huge break out. 4 cysts at one time is unusual for me. It burns when I apply it and it smells like straight sunscreen. DO NOT BUY THE NEW FORMULA.

Pros:

Moisturized skin adequately for a few hours

Cons:

Wore off after a few hours, made skin oily

I have combination skin so I bought the combination version. This mosturizer works well at first, but after a few hours, it wore off for me. My skin became flaky again and was oily in my Tzone. I got one comment from someone saying my skin looked so oily it looked wet! I threw it out and started using DDF Stay Matte sunscreen/mosturizer. It works so much better!

Pros:

None at all

Cons:

The new formula is NASTY - contains Avobenzone and BURNS your skin

I'm so upset that Olay changed the ingredients for this moisturizer. The old formula was absolutely amazing and made my skin beautifully soft and clear. The new formula makes me break out, leaves my skin red and feels really heavy on the skin. It's like a think nasty sunscreen rather than a more fluid moisturizing lotion. I wish Olay would bring back the old formula!

Pros:

Keeps skin moist. Has SPF.

Cons:

New formulation with avobenzone breaks me out, even in areas where I do not typically break out, like my chin and around my eyes.

The old formulation was magic; avoid the new formulation with avobenzone. Do not buy.

Pros:

light, goes on smoothly, absorbs well, not greasy or oily

Cons:

does not help w/ the flaky skin i get from acne treatments

this is a wonderful light moisturizer, but i need something a little strogner because my skin is so dry from acne treatments and creams. i would recommend this as a daily moisturizer for someone who does not have dry skin

Pros:

The price is very good compared to other brands. The packaging with the name makes you want to buy it. It feels O.K. when applied
BUT.........

Cons:

Was fair skin, blond, blue eyes. Now I have bright ORANGE bangs/side or face. Orange towels, orange pillow case/sheets and orange around necks of blouses and shirts (was told) from P&G rep Avobenzone added to this product with NO WARNING on pack

Olay complete all day UV moisturizer UV skin shield (sensitive skin) I cannot remove these stains from clothing/bedding/towels, thank goodness my hair is back to normal. I think there should be a large warning on the bottle or the packaging. I phoned in my concerns and was sent 2 coupon's one for Olay & one for Pantene shampoo!!! I have used Olay products for at least 10 years but no more.

Pros:

None

Cons:

My eyes burn badly for two days and gave willts on my forehead

How can you use Avobenzone for sensitive skin? I have used the old version for the last 10 years. I don't understand changing all the active ingredients for a product that has been going so well with customers.
