Which is better for wrinkles?

The L'Oreal has pro retinol, which has stronger evidence for smoothing wrinkles over time. The Olay relies on hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, which mainly hydrate and even tone.

Which is better for sensitive skin?

The Olay is fragrance-free and alcohol-free, which suits reactive skin. The L'Oreal is labeled non-comedogenic and for sensitive skin, but retinol can still cause irritation at first.

Can I use the Olay at night and the L'Oreal in the day?

Yes. That pairing uses the Olay's night-friendly hydration and the L'Oreal's retinol in the daytime, with sunscreen on top.

Is the L'Oreal worth the extra cost?

If you want retinol and neck coverage, yes. At $9.99 versus $5.32 for the Olay, the gap is small for a retinol product.

Does the Olay treat the neck?

No. It is listed for the face only. The L'Oreal is made for face and neck.

The L'Oreal is a fixed 1.7 oz jar. The Olay comes in trial and regular sizes, so a regular jar lasts longer than the trial size.
