What the gurus are saying

The gurus praise this as an effective, accessible retinoid that delivers real results without the premium price tag. What stands out is the niacinamide in the formula, which helps calm redness and hyperpigmentation while also supporting the skin barrier and protecting against daily environmental stress. It's a solid choice for anyone starting or continuing a retinoid routine who wants proven ingredients at a budget-friendly cost.

"I love Olay. It's not your grandma's Olay. Olay has been around for a long time. They have a really great retinoid. This is the Pro Advanced Retinol Complex. I got this at Costco but it's a great product."

"It could be something as simple as Olay, which by the way, this is not your grandma's Olay. You can get this from Costco. This is the Olay Pro-Advanced Retinol Complex. It is a great, affordable retinoid. You do not have to be rich to have good skin."

"This has niacinamide which is good for redness and hyperpigmentation, and niacinamide has an anti-yellowing effect. It also can improve the production of ceramides in the skin, so it's good for the skin barrier. It's also an antioxidant, so it can help with day-to-day environmental aggressors. That's a good product from Olay."
