by Olay
Updated September 24, 2026
Retinol plus niacinamide in a moisturizing night cream; beginner-friendly.
What the community says
A retinol night cream with glycerin, dimethicone, retinol, retinyl propionate, niacinamide, and peptide support. It suits retinoid beginners and dry-leaning skin that wants more moisturizer than serum. The trade-off is that it can feel underpowered and still trigger breakouts or stinging.

Watch out for
