Which is better for wrinkles?

The Olay Regenerist. It is sold as an anti-aging cream for wrinkles and adds niacinamide alongside hyaluronic acid. The Neutrogena is a hydrating gel with no anti-aging actives listed.

Which is better for oily or acne-prone skin?

The Neutrogena Hydro Boost. It is oil-free and non-comedogenic, while the Olay cream does not state either.

Is the Olay worth the extra?

At its recent low of $5.32 it costs less than the Neutrogena at $12.06, so the Olay is the better value when you find it near that price. At its $20.50 high, the Neutrogena is the cheaper buy.

Can I use either one under makeup?

The Neutrogena gel is the lighter option and absorbs quickly. The Olay cream is richer, so use a thin layer if you wear makeup over it.

Are either fragrance-free?

The Olay Regenerist is labeled fragrance-free. The Neutrogena listing does not state its fragrance status.

Which lasts longer per jar?

Not stated for either product. The Olay comes in trial and regular sizes, so check the ounce count before comparing cost per use.
