These Are the 12 Best Olay Products of All Time

Compared to the history of the brand, the Regenerist line is fairly new, having launched in 2003. But the popularity of this cult-favorite product is unparalleled. More than one billion (yes, with a ‘b’) jars have been sold, with 20 of the iconic red jars sold every minute worldwide.

What gives? Credit the peptide-based formula that works in just 28 days to leave skin smoother and more hydrated. It’s so good, that it continues to beat out much, much more expensive products from around the world in head-to-head hydration testing.

One of the latest launches is already poised to become a fan favorite, mark our words. Case in point: It received over 1000 five-star reviews during its first week on the market. The night cream uses retinol, a tried-and-true anti-ager, along with a proprietary vitamin B3 complex that helps improve the look of spots, wrinkles, pores, and more…all without any irritating side effects.

Anyone who appreciates multi-tasking products (and really, who doesn’t?) will heart this overachiever. True to its name, it does in fact offer seven different benefits, including moisturizing, firming, and minimizing the look of pores, just to name a few. It’s oil-free and won’t clog pores, and has the added—and very important—benefit of including your non-negotiable daily dose of sun protection. And it’s an SPF 30 at that, impressive given that most drugstore moisturizers usually only have an SPF 15.

These guys fly somewhat under-the-radar but definitely deserve a shout-out. They’re kind of like face wipe but even better. They come dry (so, unlike a face wipe, you never have to worry about them drying out), and all you have to do is add a bit of water to reap the makeup removing and skin-cleansing benefits. They can take off even super stubborn makeup, but are still super gentle on skin; they’re soap-free and have added grapeseed extract and glycerin for a hit of hydration.

Fun fact alert: Serums are the fastest growing skincare format among millennials, which is part of what inspired the brand to come out with three serums newbies. They’re all good, but we’re partial to this one, a brightening and tone-evening formula boasting vitamin B3 (aka niacinamide) and vitamin C. We also appreciate that it’s fragrance-free and fast-absorbing.

With a mousse-like, featherweight texture, this is ideal for anyone who prefers creams that feel truly undetectable. It soaks in fully and completely in mere seconds, seriously—you can time it. This variant brightens skin for a subtle and healthy radiance, but many of the other formulas (like the beloved Regenerist Cream) also now come in a ‘whip’ version.

Here’s the bad news: The skin around your eyes is the thinnest on the body, making it the most susceptible to showing signs of aging. Here’s the good news: You can pick up this cream to knock out all of those signs, including wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness. It’s all thanks to niacinamide and peptides, as well as subtle brightening pigments that instantly make you look bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. This is true eye cream multi-tasking at its finest.

If you’ve never sudsed up with this guy, do yourself a favor and do so ASAP. It’s packed, and we mean packed, with shea butter for a crazy creamy feel. You feel that hydration not only while you’re washing, but also long afterward; you might be able to get away with skipping lotion after using this in the shower.

Olay’s solid mask sticks make masking easier and more mess-free than ever; all you have to do is swipe them on. Take your pick from four different options, each targeting a different skin issue, but personally, we reach for this one. Charcoal acts like a magnet to pull out gunk and grime lodged deep in pores, leaving your complexion feeling completely fresh and clean. Plus, the solid formula makes it easy to apply just on targeted spots, think your T-Zone to help absorb excess oil.

Remember that epic Regenerist Cream? This is essentially the face wash version. Not only does it do its intended cleansing duties, but it also gently exfoliates. Couple that with a souped-up peptide complex to boost skin’s natural regenerating processes (hence the name) and you’ve got yourself a top-notch cleanser that’s especially ideal for more mature skin.

Think of this spritz like a tall glass of spa water for your face. It’s infused with cucumber water and white mint (per our point about spa water) to deliver a quick hit of hydration and freshness. Our favorite ways to use it? Stash it in the fridge for a super cooling pick-me-up, a savior on hot summer days or after a workout. Or, use it to dampen your makeup sponge before applying foundation for a more seamless finish.
