The skin serum I didn’t know I needed until I started using it.
Every winter, my skin tells the same story: dryness, dullness, and fine lines suddenly looking more obvious than they did a few weeks earlier. I wanted one product that could hydrate properly and tackle brightness and early signs of ageing without overcomplicating my routine. That’s why I started using the Olay Super Serum.
It’s a multi-benefit, lightweight face serum packed with Vitamin C, Niacinamide and Collagen Peptides, and it promised exactly what my winter skin was craving. The Olay Super Serum is designed as a 5-in-1 serum that targets hydration, brightness, smoothness, firmness, and even skin tone. I use it morning and night, straight after cleansing and before moisturiser.

What keeps me using it is how balanced it feels. Niacinamide helps my skin stay hydrated and calm despite cold air and indoor heating, while Vitamin C gives my complexion a fresher, brighter look even on low-sleep days. Over time, my skin has started to feel smoother and more even, which is exactly what I want during winter when everything usually looks a little flat and tired.
That said, this serum isn’t for everyone. If your skin is extremely dry and you rely on rich, oil-heavy serums in winter, this may feel too lightweight on its own (you’d need a heavier moisturiser on top). If you have very sensitive skin or react easily to active ingredients like Vitamin C or AHAs, patch testing is essential.
