Hi there! Since it’s mission in life to try every Olay product out there, I bought this Olay Anti-Wrinkle Instant Hydration + Wrinkle Smoother.
This is a day moisturiser – without SPF. I like my SPF, so I knew this product wouldn’t become a favourite. But I wanted to give it a try nonetheless.
Now what did I find? This product is the exact same thing as Olay’s Instant Hydration + Wrinkle Blur!
I should have known! The packaging is almost identical, and the only differences are the colour of the box and bottles (blue/white and pink/white, respectively) and the name (wrinkle smoother and wrinkle blur).
Everything else is the same! So I can only come to the same conclusions as last time – when I used the pink sister product. 🙂
OK, once applied, this moisturiser sinks right into my skin and leaves it looking matte and silky. It’s great under make-up and yes, it does have an instant blurring effect on wrinkles and lines!
Because of the non-greasy formula and the matte finish, this moisturiser would be great for women with oily skin. But at the same time it doubles as a primer for women with dry skin. This moisturiser has primer-like qualities, yet – unlike most ‘real’ primers – it’s not drying at all. So if you want a primer that doesn’t feel like it’s sucking the moisture out of your skin, this product is for you.
Another thing I love about this Olay moisturiser is its fresh and pure scent which I would describe as a mix of water lilies and apples.
But there’s one bit that I’m not super happy with – this moisturiser is SPF-free. I love my sunscreen, but if you prefer SPF-free face creams and moisturisers, this one is definitely worth a try.
Olay Anti-Wrinkle Instant Hydration & Wrinkle Smoother is available as 50 ml for £9.99. But it’s currently half price at Boots and Superdrug- so it’s £4.99 only!

I love my basic good old reliable Olay hydrating lotion. It works beautifully and is inexpensive. Glad I read this post because I would have been swayed by the 30+ on the box!!!

Ooh, this looks good – I’m slowly coming round to Olay products (had a tricky time with one years ago, but it obviously wasn’t right for me at the time) so these will go on my list – thank you!! 🙂

Sorry to hear you had a problem with Olay in the past. May I ask, which product it was? I know a handful of people who had trouble with Olay’s Regenerist line. And my skin doesn’t agree with their sensitive products – weird, huh?
I know you have dry skin, so I’d recommend one of these for you:

OR:
https://mrsstrawberryblonde.wordpress.com/2015/05/29/olay-anti-wrinkle-firm-lift-day-lotion/
These two would be perfect for you because they will make your skin feel moisturised and silky all day long. And if you need a moisture burst in between, you can reapply to your heart’s content without smothering your skin. Both products have SPF and they’re a perfect base for make-up.
Olay also does a 2 in 1 Serum & Cream which is absolutely brilliant It goes on like silk. I just started to use it but I already love it. 🙂

Thank you! It was a while back, Mrs SB, so I can’t remember rightly – but it was definitely something that was way too rich for me at the time and brought me out in a rash (a bit like Radox soap does!!). Thanks for the recommendations – will add to be Shopping list now – really appreciate it! 🙂 xxx

I bought the “Firm & Lift” anti-wrinkle booster and firming serum before Christmas but haven’t got round to trying it yet. That was half price in Superdrug too, a total impulse purchase!
