Olay retinol that's 'the best night cream' is cut from £44 to £19 in better than Boots deal

When it comes to your evening skincare routine, you want something that’s streamlined, efficient and actually works so you don’t need to spend hours on your regime before bed. Products that combine two results in one are therefore an absolute god send when it's late at night and you just want to get to sleep.

That’s why plenty of shoppers have raved about the Olay Retinol 24 MAX Night Cream, which combines anti-ageing and skin renewing properties of a serum with the hydration and skin-smoothing of a moisturiser.

Although it's usually quite a splurge at £44, Amazon has currently included it in a limited time offer which sees it slashed by 55% to £19.98, saving you more than £24. This deal also rivals Boots, where the same cream is currently reduced from £43.99 to £21.99, making it £2 more expensive – plus Amazon Prime members have the added bonus of free next day delivery.

The Olay Retinol 24 MAX Night Cream boosts your skin’s moisture levels with 50% more hydrating ingredients, and is touted as being able to transform the softness and smoothness of your skin in just one overnight use. It also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles long term. It contains retinyl propionate, which reaches deep into your skin’s layers to smooth out texture, as well as vitamin E and 50% more glycerin for a soft, smooth look.

If you’re looking for other options, Paula’s Choice’s Anti-Aging Intensive Repair Moisturiser is also currently on sale, down from £39 to £33.15. It has an ultra-rich formula with 0.2% retinol to reinforce the skin’s barrier and smooths fine lines, whilst still being a gentle way to introduce retinol to your routine.

The Intelligent Retinol Smoothing Night Cream from Medik8 also comes highly recommended, with slow-release 0.2% retinol which is gentle enough for retinol beginners. It is however slightly pricier than the other options, at £60 for a 50ml jar.

However the Olay Retinol 24 MAX Night Cream is also great for introducing retinol into your night time routine without worrying about damaging your skin barrier. Amazon shoppers have also been fans of the moisturiser, with some saying they’ve used it for years with great results.

One wrote: “Love this I’ve been using it for years it keeps skin from developing fine lines into wrinkles.”

Another agreed: “This is an excellent cream. The face feels soft after I put it on at night. It’s also fast absorbing, which ensures that there is no residue on my pillow when sleeping.”

Whilst a third added: “One of the best night creams for combined skin.”

Some found it less effective, writing: “Not really that impressed find no difference and leaves my skin a bit dry.”

Which another agreed with: “Seems a good cream but I’m not sure it’s great for a more mature skin. It absorbs well but for me not very moisturising.”

Others loved it though, saying: “Wonderful night cream. Feels silky and easily and quickly absorbed into skin. Helps to keep my skin hydrated. Good price.”

And another praised: “Lovely. Moisturising with a silky feel. My skin looks fresh & clear.”
