"What I like about it is that it's affordable. Costco has a great deal, a two-for-one deal at times, and recently at my local Costco I was able to find this on the two-for-one deal, but it's not all the time. It has niacinamide in addition to its retinol complex, which is retinyl and retinol, and you have those two nice retinols put together, which is very tolerable and very gentle if you have sensitive skin."

Olay Super vs Retinol 24 Max: Which Serum Wins?

"My patients love it, and they also love the Retinol 24 peptide cream that's in this jar. [...] They said [...] there's noticeable fine line reduction in 28 days with the Retinol 24, which seems pretty fast. [...] I always say go for four to six months with retinoids to see improvement in your wrinkles. But they also said it provides 24-hour hydration. And what I love about this is that it also has niacinamide and peptides. [...] I love niacinamide because it helps regulate sebum production."

"The first one is Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 + Peptide Night Moisturizer. This is a great moisturizer with retinol to help tackle the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin aging. It's not just for perimenopausal and menopausal skin, but just in general, especially if you're a beginner, because it's got a nice gentle formula but still works well. It's nourishing but not heavy. I would say it's more suitable for combination, slightly oily skin."

"Because we're on a budget, what I've done is pick a retinol and moisturizer combined. You're simplifying your routine, getting your treatment and moisturizer at the same time, and they also work really well. They're great for use especially during the winter, or if you have dry and sensitive skin. The one I'm recommending is Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 + Peptide Night Moisturizer. It's a great nighttime moisturizer, and it retails for about $29.99 at Target."

"Listen, I know it's not like your grandmother's Olay. They've got great products, [...] and Olay's been doing this forever. Those are great starter retinoids that you can get at your local pharmacy or grocery store. The Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 + Peptide Night Moisturizer is an amazing product for first-time retinoid users, and it's moisturizing, so you don't have to put moisturizer over the top of it."

"You can get the two jars for 33.99. [...] This is actually a good product and this is a good value here, and they have the fragrance free one. The peptide may help with moisture retention, hydration, and improves skin firmness, which is probably going to lead to a more gratifying instant result, whereas the retinol takes some time with ongoing use, though the retinol can help improve fine lines and skin firmness."

It's good."

"It can also help improve the skin's ability to retain moisture. It has retinyl propionate, a retinol ester which can help stabilize the retinol and is an antioxidant, palmitoyl pentapeptide, niacinamide which is anti-inflammatory, and sodium hyaluronate as a humectant. At 46.49 for the two pack it's not too bad. Definitely go with the Olay one if you're coming to Costco for a retinol."

"This is basically a slightly tweaked version of the exact same thing. Literally, if she likes the texture of this, just apply it all over the face and right here in the under eyes. Or if she likes the serum better because it's more lightweight, ditch the moisturizer, ditch the eye cream, and just put the serum all over. This is point in case I rest my case that [...] this moisturizer is basically the same thing as their eye cream that they were trying to sell you for much more money."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Retinoids

Retinoids are among the best studied ingredients in dermatology, with solid evidence for acne and for the fine lines and rough texture that come from sun exposure. Dryness and flaking in the first few weeks are common and usually settle.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
