Olay Vitamin C MAX Face Moisturizer is a gel-cream that hydrates, brightens, and helps even skin tone with Vitamin C, niacinamide and elevated peptides.

This lightweight 1.7-ounce moisturizer combines antioxidant Vitamin C with dermatologist-recommended peptides and niacinamide to deliver immediate hydration and a brighter-looking complexion over time.

How quickly will I notice brighter, more even skin?

Most users report an immediate surge of hydration and visible improvements in skin tone within days. The blend of Vitamin C and niacinamide supports radiance and reduces the appearance of dark spots when used consistently.

• Immediate: lightweight gel-cream delivers noticeable moisture at first application
• 1 week: visible improvement in overall tone for many users
• 1 month: product claim of up to 2X brighter-looking skin versus a basic moisturizer

Will this moisturizer work under makeup and during my day?

The fast-absorbing gel texture is formulated to sit comfortably beneath foundation or tinted SPF without feeling heavy or greasy. Its hydrating finish helps create a smoother base for makeup while keeping skin supple for up to 24 hours.

• Silky, non-greasy gel-cream that melts into skin
• Compatible with makeup: creates a smooth application surface
• Pair daytime use with broad-spectrum SPF to protect brightening benefits

What key ingredients are in the formula and what do they do?

This formula combines Vitamin C for antioxidant support, niacinamide for tone and texture, and a boosted peptide complex to support skin renewal. It’s dermatologist-tested and intentionally excludes several common additives.

• Vitamin C: supports a brighter-looking complexion and antioxidant protection
• Niacinamide: helps even skin tone and improve texture appearance
• Peptide 24 MAX: doubled peptide concentration versus the prior formula to support natural renewal
• Clean formulation: no parabens, phthalates, synthetic dyes, or mineral oils

Is this product safe for daily use and sensitive skin?

The product is dermatologist-tested for regular use and designed to be gentle while delivering active brightening ingredients. Because it contains an AHA and Vitamin C, introduce it gradually if you have reactive skin and always follow daytime applications with SPF.

• Dermatologist-tested formulation suitable for everyday use
• Contains AHA: start slowly if you’re new to exfoliating actives
• Recommended to use sun protection during daytime to safeguard results

Who is this for: This moisturizer is aimed at people seeking a hydrating daily cream that targets dullness, uneven tone and early signs of skin aging without a heavy feel.
