This Viral DRUGSTORE “Super Serum” Is $35 And It’s Worth Alllllll The Hype
WHAT: Olay Super Serum
WHY: There is nothing we love more in this world than discovering an affordable hidden gem. Nothing.
And then when that hidden gem is from the DRUGSTORE we get almost giddy.
A great, cheap makeup find is always fun, but affordable skincare? Well. It’s our deepest joy. Because there is no more transformative or important a product in our post-40 beauty routines, than a supremely effective serum.
And today, we found one.
Enter, the insanely viral (for good reason) Super Serum by Oil of Olay.
Does the fact that the serum itself looks like unicorn tears make us love it even more? Yes it sure does. But the main reason we love it because it answers the question all of us have about multiple serums that do various things. Like well, you need this serum because it wipes out wrinkles and this one because it brightens your skin and this one makes your pores will look smaller and this one because it banishes texture. But, aren’t we all thinking the same thing? Can’t someone just…make a single serum that…does all of those things?
And it appears, the answer is yes. Because good ‘ol, 71 year old Oil of Olay did it. And it does make sense that a tried-and-true brand like Olay managed to figure it out because they’ve been on this game since 1952, and they have real R&D dollars to spend on this kind of thing.
Ok, so what exactly is in this magic bottle and what does it claim to do? Let’s get into it. So it has 5 key ingredients, each with its own specific, whopper of a purpose.
1. Niacinimide: This the vitamin B3 and ALONE, it’s quite a powerhouse. It reduces redness (yes even from rosacea), it can help excess oil production (hello acne), and it improves your lipid barrier, which, as a result, elevates your moisture retention (incredible if you’re a dry husk like us).
2. Vitamin C: We all know how effective this is but here’s a refresher—it fights free radicals which are one of the biggest causes of lines and wrinkles.
3. Collagen Peptide: This helps our skins’s natural renewal process.
4. Vitamin E: This powerhouse helps to keep lipids (fats) fresh, which in turn makes our skin look more plump and dewy.
5. Alpha hydroxys (AHAs): These gentle acids help to exfoliate the skin which means improved skin texture and smaller looking pores.
I mean. Yes. And here’s some exciting visual evidence for your viewing pleasure.
Watch it in action in real time on mature skin.
We were so wowed by this stuff after only a few days of using it, we looked into any other products in this range and found THE SAME serum but in an evening formula. We’ve been trying it for a few days and also loving the results.
And no. This isn’t sponsored. But we’d actually love nothing more than a sponsorship with Olay because after trying this serum we’re sold. Olay, call us?
PS: Yes you could get this at target but the direct site to Olay offers 15% off so why not?
PRICE: $35
