Olay Hyaluronic + Peptide 24 Skincare Might I Insert An Eye Roll Here?
Olay Hyaluronic + Peptide 24 Skincare Collection is a new line of skincare that recently launched on their website and should be headed to mass retailers in the next few weeks in time for Fall 2022.
It’s a pretty exciting launch for fans of Hyaluronic Acid as it offers a more affordable way to inject not only HA into your routine but also peptides like niacinamide. The collection features a gel moisturizer, eye cream, serum, and a cleanser. Best of all is this is a fragrance-free formula.
Exciting right?
Might I add an eye roll right here? I was going to purchase some of the collection because I’m a skincare junkie and my curiosity was piqued but also because I wanted to review it here and share my thoughts. But I have to admit I became so incredibly frustrated and annoyed with the fact that every single review I was reading on the Olay website was five stars with a “Received an incentive for this review” disclosure.
Come on.
It just evoked rage in me and I ended up not buying any of it at all. There are so many honest blogs, influencers, and Tiktokers who work really hard at producing quality, honest content and reviews across the Internet. It’s so frustrating to see people given a sample of something that they just rave about for the sake of raving. I have no issue with the free sample! I think it’s great they’ve gotten consumers involved in the testing of a new product. What I don’t like is the all-five-star reviews just seem incredibly dishonest to me. There’s no way over 1000 reviewers are that enamored with this collection of skincare! Seems like a miracle! I mean, I’m begging to be proved wrong here. I want to know that it’s true this line is so amazing it just floored thousands of people into giving in five stars.
But I have some doubts about that.
And hey, Olay, I’m not picking on you. This is a fairly common thing lately where people are provided a sample and asked to review it on websites like Sephora, Target, and even Amazon. It just does ring a bit dishonest when every single person who got the sample is giving it five stars.
It literally made me not buy it. I had three items in my cart and I was like eh let me check reviews before I take the plunge. And that was enough to make me just get angry enough to not bother. At some point, I will purchase it in-store but right now I’m busy rolling my eyes back into the socket of my head.
Do better and stop trying to trick people into a purchase!
