Drugstore Product of the Week!
Sun, 8 Apr 2012PRODUCT REVIEW | SKIN
By Huda Heidi Kattan
I don’t usually do this. Typically I wait before writing about a product, but after just one week, I’m SERIOUSLY crushing on this product,which I did NOT expect! First of all, I’d like to start by saying I’m an “embrace your natural beauty” kind of gal, so when I see skincare products that lighten skin, I don’t go for them. When I’m asked to work with brands that “lighten” skin, I always say no! I grew up thinking my skin was too dark! In so many parts of Asia, the middle east not excluded, it was very trendy not too long ago to be lighter, so that’s what I wanted to be! The lighter your skin is, the more beautiful? NOT true! Embracing your own skin color is soooo important and more beautiful than any lightening can do!
Ok, now that I have that off my chest, I have to tell you I am in LOOOVE with the Olay White Radiance Serum. Here’s the deal, it doesn’t really lighten as much as it brightens! After using this for a week, my skin is soooooooo even toned that I actually feel good not wearing foundation when I go out, which for me, is CRAZY! My skin really didn’t lighten, it kind of brightened! It looks healthier, more radiant and honestly, I feel more confident about it than I have in a long time! It feels amazing when you wear it, it’s hydrating, but there is zero oiliness! It definitely ranks with all of my super pricey serums and is the best brightening serum I have ever used! I highly recommend this!
I always say to everyone, to understand why I love Olay so much, you have to give it a try! I remember not wanting to try it at first, but after learning about the ingredients they use, I decided to try them and it was one of the best skincare decisions I could have ever made!

Greetings all the way from the Philippines, your blog reached this little corner of the world Ms. Huda! I cant wait to try this product, if i can find it here heheh..
where can i get this product? maybe walmart?
ok i will try it thx my love
I bought it yesterday and applied it at night 30 min before going to bed..i think i need like a week or two to start noticing some difference, but i like the way my skin felt and looked this morning
Ladies, for those living in UAE it’s available in Carrefour, Lulu Hypermarket, Spinneys, Abela, etc..
where can we buy this in canada? walmart? and for how much?
HUDAAAAAAAA, sadly, this product isn’t ANYWHERE in the US or online!
((((((( I’m so sad! Is there any chance, maybe you could ship it your fans!?? Please say yes!
I got this serum because of you, but it was really hard to get.. since its not available in the West! But I finally got it
and very excited to try it out!
please let me know where in Canada or US it can be purchased. Huda is in Boston, do you think she bought it there or on her way at some stop?????…
anyway whoever finds it share with rest of us
By the way huda you should always mention the location you purchase from, that helps alot, i see most of the time you do but may be this time you want to keep it secret since it is a competion… thanks alot for sharing everything. try to do your makeup tutorials, i love the way you do your makeup… god bless you…
Hi Huda, i luuurrrvvvee your blog and your so gorgeous (mashallah)! i was wondering, do you know of any other products that are similar to this one but can be found in the UK??? xx
have you tried the white radiance lotion? I couldn’t find the serum
Hopefully the lotion will be as good!
Is this the same as the White Radiance Intensive Brightening Serum (Malaysia) – I live in England but got my boss to get it for me on his travels!
I got this serum last week before seeing this post and reading this has made me happier to have purchased it cause of reading about all the positive feedback on the product..I don’t know about the lightening part but it doesn’t matter cause I got it to help even out my skin tone and it has.. my skin feels soft and smooth.. and looks brighter and healthy.. oh and it works on the dark circles too..Healthy skin is more important that the colour of your skin.. Thanks Huda.. Awesome post..
wish i could find it, i live in england and its honeslty so hard to find. im still not going to give up serching for it
I just bought this yesterday and have used it twice since then. I can’t wait for my dark spots to fade and my skin tone to even out completely! I just had to ask though: The picture you published in this post is of the Olay White Radiance Intensive Brightening Essence. I’ve heard a lot of great stuff about the essence too, so are you using the essence here or the serum?
I’m not sure darling, where are you? I’m in the Middle East, the name could differ for locations. If it is similar to the bottle in the pic, I would go with that one, because they only created one serum for the White Radiance Collection:)
I discovered this blog waaaaay to late pffff !!
Hi Huda,
I just bought the serum today! It was in the top list since I read the post maybe one month back! I am so glad I got it, will try it tonight! I really really hope it will work! I have made a list of all the products you highly recommend in my notepad! Next will be the ponds age miracle! Thanks alot for your reviews! Really helpful blog!
please please reply, im really wanting to try this out and cannot find it in the UK. does the bottle look anything like in the link i have provided below? http://cdn101.iofferphoto.com/img/item/150/890/637/nL8gzVBGUFiC6MN.jpg
