Pros:

Moisturizes

Cons:

new formula smells like sunscreen

I used and loved this product for many years and now they've changed the formula. IIt smells like baby powder/sunscreen. The old product formula did not smell. Very disappointed they changed it.

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:

NONE, unfortunately. They need to change the formula back.

Cons:

I knew from the first application of the new formula I was in trouble. Didn't even have to look at the ingredients to know they messed around with the formula. Olay, I hate you now. Grrrrr.

This USED to be my moisturizer. I bought a bottle of the new formula a few months ago and the FIRST time I put it on, I turned into a sensitive skin nightmare. Blotchy, red, dry, cracking skin. Whoa. I tried it one more day with the same results. Even though I don't put moisturizer near my eyes, it made my eyes burn so bad I couldn't see and I had to wash my face less than an hour after I put it on. I'm sure if I kept using this cr@p more than I did it would bring back some cystic acne. Bleh. IMPORTANT! If you knew and LoVeD the old Olay, PLEASE call 1-800-285-5170 Monday through Friday, 9:00AM-6:00PM ET to speak to an Olay rep. Tell them you've been having a bad reaction to the new formula and you need the old formula back! ALSO-I found CVS (and I'm sure other stores) have a generic version of the old Olay formula. There is something just not quite right with the CVS formula, so I've been using up my Olay stockpile, but if anyone else has tried the generics post about th

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:

Light and non greasy. Keeps the sun from damaging skin.

Cons:

It caused major breakouts almost everywhere I put it. It only took 3 days to irritate my skin and cause small papules on my face, chest and neck.

If you have very sensitive skin, don't use it! I used it for 3 days and had terrible results. I didn't want to throw it away so I started using it as a daily lotion on my arms where my skin isn't as sensitive.

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:

nothing....

Cons:

gave my skin a bumpy texture, irritated the sensitive skin around the jaw, broke out my forehead, stung my eyes and nose, smelled like sunscreen, greasy and heavy

Oh, how foolish I was to assume that a new look didn't mean a new formula. I felt instant burning on my skin, and looked in alarm at the ingredient box. My holy grail to soft, smooth skin was gone. Although marketed as an improvement in UVA protection, it's not worth it anymore. I've resorted to an Avon moisturizer that does maybe a 1/3 of the job the old Olay moisturizer did. It breaks my heart that they would try to "fix" something that wasn't wrong in the first place. I do hope they'll give us the old formula back...
