Let’s face it, most of us can probably say that we don’t get enough sleep, or at least the amount of sleep we would love to get in our dream world. Not getting enough sleep can really wreak havoc on your skin, and when I’ve been catching less sleep, one of the first places it starts to show is my skin. The bags under my eyes are a little more pronounced, my face looks puffier, and my skin has a dullness to it. It just doesn’t feel refreshed. Enter Olay Fresh Effects {Dew Over!} Gel Moisturizer, which is like a solid eight hours of sleep in a jar. From the moment this product touched my face, I knew it was going to be my saving grace.

Olay Fresh Effects {Dew Over!} Hydrating Gel Moisturizer is a lightweight skin moisturizer that contains essence of honeysuckle and white tea. It creates an instant burst of cooling hydration to your skin that is incredible. I love that this moisturizer is oil-free, because I’ve got oily skin and products that are oil-free keep my skin less shiny and free of any blemishes. I also love the packaging of this product from first sight. It personally stands out to me and it fits the feel of the actual product inside, which really creates a burst of refreshment on your skin.
I also love that the product is a gel moisturizer. Creams can be too heavy on the skin, and having the gel texture keeps it feeling extremely lightweight on your skin.
The scent of this moisturizer is lovely. It’s not too strong and overbearing, but it’s just enough to be pleasant. It smells really refreshing and clean, and you can smell the light notes of honeysuckle in it. The first thing I thought of when I used this moisturizer was “cool as a cucumber.” I remember being told to use cucumber on my face to awaken my skin, and when I first applied this to my face, it was similar to applying fresh, cold cucumber slices to my eyes. It gives your face a very unique cooling sensation. It doesn’t burn or tingle at all, so if you’ve got sensitive skin or you’re worried about the cooling sensation hurting your skin, fear not! It feels like someone has applied cold gel from the refrigerator to your skin. It’s incredibly unique and I don’t have any other moisturizers in my skincare collection that leave my skin feeling so good.
I use this every single morning without hesitation because it makes me feel awake right off the bat. My skin looks better within just a few minutes of using it. It looks more plump and hydrated, less dull, and overall has a healthy glow to it. This moisturizer really is like sleep in a bottle. I started using this moisturizer after being in the heat outside for awhile and after a workout, as well. The cooling sensation is perfect for when your skin is heated! I know this is going to be a staple for me with the really hot, humid, southern weather coming this summer.
My overall opinion of this moisturizer is that it’s a fantastic beauty bargain that you can find at the drugstore. In order to get a cooling sensation from my other products, I’ve put them in the refrigerator so they went onto my skin and gave it a fresh feeling. With Olay Fresh Effects {Dew Over!} I can eliminate having to put the product into the fridge to get that lovely spa-like cooling sensation. It absorbs into my skin quickly and leaves my skin feeling cool as a cucumber all day long.
