Olay unknown Moisturizer Review
Our verdict
A compact Olay moisturizer aimed at mature skin, featuring menthol for a cooling sensation on application. At $19.99 for 1.7 fluid ounces, it sits in a reasonable price range for a name-brand anti-aging cream, though the small size is worth noting.

Overview
Olay is a brand with a long track record in the everyday skincare space, and this moisturizer is positioned squarely for mature skin concerns. The key listed ingredient is menthol, which provides a noticeable cooling sensation when applied, giving the routine a refreshing quality that some people enjoy in the morning.
The formula is listed as hydrating and addresses anti-aging concerns visually, meaning it is designed to support the look of smoother, more youthful skin over consistent use. It comes in a 1.7 fluid ounce size, which is a typical travel-friendly or trial-size format, priced at $19.99.
With 410 reviews and a 4.6 out of 5 rating, buyer response is quite positive. That rating puts it among the stronger performers in the Olay lineup at this price point, suggesting that buyers find the formula delivers on comfort and hydration.

Performance notes
Menthol is the noted key ingredient and is responsible for the cooling effect on application. The product is described as hydrating and formulated to address the appearance of aging. No SPF is indicated. Fragrance and free-of information are not listed in the available specs, so those with known sensitivities should review the full ingredient list before purchasing.
What buyers say
A 4.6 out of 5 rating from 410 reviewers is a strong signal. Most buyers at that rating level tend to appreciate the texture and the pleasant cooling feel. The mature skin positioning resonates with its core audience based on the overall score, and only one person per month purchased recently, suggesting it may be less of a staple purchase and more of a targeted choice.

Frequently asked questions
Is the menthol in this Olay moisturizer strong enough to cause irritation?
Menthol concentration varies by formula, and the listing does not specify the exact percentage. People with sensitive or reactive skin sometimes find menthol a little too stimulating on the face. A patch test on a small area before full application is a smart first step.
Can this be used as a morning and evening moisturizer?
The product specs do not limit use to a specific time of day. Menthol-based creams are often preferred in the morning for the wake-up sensation they provide. At 1.7 fluid ounces, twice-daily use would go through the jar more quickly, so factor that into your budget.
