I've used Olay Active Hydrating Cream - Sensitive for many years and was very disappointed when they stopped making it. So I tried their Original cream, but it made my skin break out in tiny bumps. I then tried Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream. I am very happy that I found this. It actually moisturizes better than Olay. And it's made for dry, sensitive skin. I highly recommend it to all former Olay users.

This is a great moisturizer for someone with sensitive skin who needs a face cream (more than just a lotion). I don't like any perfume on my face and tend to have dry skin, and this product has been perfect for wearing all day long. It is extremely gentle on the skin, rich but not oily. Highly recommended!

This is BY FAR the best moisturizing night cream that I have ever, ever used!!!!

I have used Olay products since my teens (back then it was called Oil of Olay) and was quite happy even then. However, 16 years ago I was diagnosed with Rosacea. This is a skin condition that, although looks like acne, is actually rather opposite in that it drastically dries out your skin in addition to the acne looking breakouts and the extreme flushing redness on my cheeks and chin. At the time of my diagnosis, my dermatologist asked me what I used for skin care. I told her "Oil of Olay". She said, "Fine, that's a good line. But, only use the sensitive skin products. Use the white stuff, not the pink". So, I switched to "the white stuff" and have never looked back. There is no horrible perfume smell, it does not contain any "anti aging" or "anti wrinkle" additives, (which are ABSOLUTELY not to be used if you have Rosacea), and it is Non-Comedogenic. And, because it doesn't contain any SPF, it is a great product to use at night while I sleep.

I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin and this product is gentle, soothing, and amazingly effective.

However, Olay has decided to discontinue it. THEY MUST BE CRAZY!!!!! This is the BEST product on the market for Rosacea sufferers and now they only have two other products in their line that can be used by those with Rosacea, the Sensitive Skin Foaming Face Wash and the Sensitive Skin Active Hydrating Lotion. SOOOOO disappointing.

So, if you have a few minutes on your hands, do everyone a favor and log onto the Olay website and leave them a comment or write a review requesting for them to bring this WONDERFUL product back. Perhaps if enough people do this, they will get a clue and realize what a horrible decision they made.

I am allergic to everything! I have purchased so many facial products that I was unable to use because they would cause redness, itching, burning, and even peeling around my eyes. This moisturizer cream is soothing, non irritationg, leaves my skin soft and smooth. It is just what I have been looking for. I highly recommmed it for sensitive skin.

I have very sensitive and yes...combination skin. Most creams make my face irritated and I use it after the Aveeno Ultra Calming Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15, which makes my skin red (when it's supposed to calm the redness!). The olay cream soothes my face & I love it!

Am adding my review with the hope that the Olay product team listens to its former customers.
Like many others, I have subjected my skin to all sorts of alternatives with painful results.
My dermatologist introduced me to this inexpensive solution several years ago and I was hooked.
Now that it's unavailable I'm back to experimenting, and so far with mixed results.
Given the number of reviews online I imagine that there are many of us that feel the same way.
Olay will win back loyal fans with a relaunch of this little container of magic.

I've really loved this product for years and can seldom find it in the retail stores anymore so I am happy to be able to get it online. It is smooth, hypo-allergenic and absorbs quickly. My only complaint is that it seems that the price has gone up and the amount of product has gone down. It is still a bargain compared with many creams and does a great job.

The wife says this products more effective than Clinque and 1/2 the price.
she is very, very pleased.

Encouraging everyone to write on the Oil of Olay website to encourage them to produce and market this product again. Visit the Facebook site "Bring back Oil of Olay Active Hydrating Cream for Sensitive Skin."

I've got to agree...GREAT product.

And this is coming from a guy! Many years ago, a female friend finally got me to try the (Oil of) Olay Active Hydrating Lotion (ok, technically "Beauty Fluid"), Sensitive Skin. After much prodding (and hating all kinds of other men's and woman's face lotions/creams) I finally tried some (after she gave me the bottle). I've used it since! Probably close to 20 years. Even at that time, I remember how she stressed the SENSTIVE SKIN formulation and NO perfume. I hate stuff with scent.

So...over a year ago, I discovered this product and gave it a try. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT! A bit heavier than the lotion and super-duper for the winter months.

I just went to the Olay site and sent them a message, urging them to maintain this product and product line.

Tell your friends! Send them a message! Please!

...if they dare to eliminate the Olay Active Hydrating Lotion, Sensitive Skin...I'll be ticked off forever.
