Improves my skin!
I used this per Dan's recommondation and I love it! The texture is nice, it doesn't break me out, and it makes my skin look healthier overall. I even wear it day and night because I love the affects. It has vitamin E, Zinc Oxide, and aloe...all of which are good for skin. I'd prefer for it to not have a chemical sunscreen added, but I don't notice any bad affects from it. My skin is super sensitive and breakout prone, so it's rare for me to find a sunscreen or makeup product that I like. This passes my test! Before I was relying on my makeup for sun protection because sunscreen inevitably broke me out...so I'm glad I finally found this.

Pros:

-Does not leave your face greasy looking
-Very light
-Fragrance free (but still smells good)
-Oil-Free
-SPF
-Actually moisturizes

Cons:

-NONE!
-A tad expensive (so worth it)

I have been looking all over for a good moisturizer like this! My dermatologist recommended it to me. I was using cetiphil for a while but that was way too heavy. I am using Tretinoin, which is very drying, and this replenishes my skin back to normal. I LOVE THIS STUFF! Give it a try :)

Pros:

Has a nice fragrant (a bit flowery though).
Doesn't clog pores or make acne worse.
Leaves skin looking refreshed and "fresh".
Has SPF.

Cons:

Makes your face look too shiny if you apply too much (just like with any moisturizer).
Not enough SPF.
Doesn't moisturize those tough, dry patches on the skin.

Don't wear this (or any moisturizer with SPF) if you plan on taking pictures. It makes your face shiny. But that's just a random tip. Also, I like how this moisturizer gives your skin a nice fresh-looking glow to it, without overdoing it. However, while this moisturized pretty well, the dry patches on my cheeks still became dry after a while. I would recommend this if you just need a simple moisturizer with SUV, but I wouldn't recommend it for those dry patches that you get from things like topicals (BP, etc.) or other spot treatments.

Pros:

-Very Moisturizing
-Has SPF
-Lasts a long time
-Cheap
-Evens my skin

Cons:

-Makes skin shiny/greasy shortly aftter
-Doesn't seem to sink in fully
-Could have more SPF

It is affordable, long lasting, gentle, and moisturizes well with a bonus of having SPF. I think this has improved my skin texture and made my pores appear smaller while protecting my skin from ever being burnt while using it... but that could just be me.

Pros:

can't tell if it has prevented sunburn, which I guess is a pro.

Cons:

Everything! I used this product for four years with great results. Nothing else worked as well as Olay sensitive skin. Now the formula has changed and it burns my skin and turns it red.

Worst "improvement" ever. I used to use it to remove eye make-up and now I won't put it anywhere near my eyes. so disappointing. Bring back the original formula!

Pros:

Many, non oily.

Cons:

None

This product moisturizes well. Shannon's comment should be omitted from the board because she didnt use Olay, she used Walmart brand, which contrary to what she said is NOT the same, if it was the same it wouldnt be $4 and runny.

Not Sure Why Dan Recommends This Product
I bought this because of Dan's recommendation. The zinc oxide makes my face flake like crazy all day long. I am also very pale (Scandinavian skin) and the zinc makes me look even paler, literally like a ghost. I would recommend Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Spf 30 over this product.

Pros:

Does not ball up or leave white marks when used on top of another moisturizer, protects skin, antioxidants, does NOT cause breakouts, has amazing ingredients, no fragrance, and its the one Dan recommends!

Cons:

It might not be moisturizing enough if used on its on, but I wouldn't know because I use it over Dans moisturizer.

FYI this review is for the "classic gentle formula" (it says that in the top corner of the box). When I found out this is the spf that Dan recommends, I immediately decided to give it a chance. I also went through every ingredient on google and various websites to make sure they weren't bad ones lol. This moisturizer is great. I do not use it by itself. I am on the DKR, and after i put moisturizer on in the morning, I put this on right on top of it. It leaves my skin feeling light, protected, and even that "matte" look. It hasn't given me breakouts at all (my skin hasn't looked this great in months) and it has antioxidants. I'd recommend this product to anybody with acne prone skin.

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
