Advantages: Oil free Disadvantages: Product difficult to locate
...remembered that my mother used Oil of Ulay products and she practically swears by it, so I thought, why not for me too, even though they have changed their name to Oil of Olay?
At the store, I spied on the Oil of Olay Active Hydrogel. These come in a translucent container of 50 ml. The label states that it is completely grease-free (which should read oil free), perfume-free and colour-free moisturising gel. It suited me just fine and so I bought ... ...difficult to locate this product. Oil of Olay has lately, churned out so many different ranges of products that I believe they will be retiring this one soon. So, use it while you can still find it. I know that they are not available in neither the US nor in Australia.
The product cost between 5 to 6 pounds depending on where you shop.

Advantages: Makes skin feel smooth and hydrated Disadvantages: none except having to pay for it
...very good price you might as well pay less than for the other Olay moisturisers which can be as much as GBP18.50 .
Overall this is a pure grease-free gel, which moisturises, softens and smoothes normal, oil and combination skin from daily dehydration. A very good moisturiser and price. ...

Advantages: say goodbye to messy grease Disadvantages: none
Let me start by saying that i've a devoted cosmo-junkie , i'm a med-student and i've stood atop of my biochem and pharmacology class.
I usually buy intense Dior ,Lancome or Shesido luxury moisturizers...... always buying the smallest sized available container since i figure i'm on the holy grail hunt so the new one i buy will be an experiment at best.
Not so with hyrdogel.
This amazing semi-sqaure crystal/glass-clear tub container is a definite ... ...no-nonsense star-ups :
1)The Consistency : it's like Ultra-Sound gel (and that too with no gender surprise): Totally clear and awesome light!.Very unique formulation it doesnt freeze or harden in the fridge and in hot weather it doesnt liquidate either.
2)The Spread : I use this product as a SpreadFactor barometer , nothing so far has even come remotely close to it's incredible dab-a-dot-go-a-mile spread. On those lazy nights where even washing ...

Advantages: Grease free, quick to absorb, light on skin, great underneath make-up, cost Disadvantages: None
I think my quest for the perfect day moisturiser has stopped at Olay active hydrogel, and the funny thing is I stumbled upon it quite by accident. After a recent trip to Boots I was pleased to receive a free voucher for the value of certain skincare products including Olay. After trying to find my normal daily moisturiser and having no luck, I picked up the 'Active Hydrogel', wow I thought a day moisturiser in a gel. As I'd never tried a facial gel ... ...currently use a hydrating night cream so thought it would work along the same lines i.e. hydrating my skin hence less dryness. Also, as it cost £5.25, I thought I couldn't lose at paying 25p for a well-known brand of moisturiser.
To my disappointment, when I got to the till, the lady told me that the voucher didn't cover that particular product. As a queue was forming behind me I couldn't be bothered with the fuss and paid the full £5.25, and how ...
