Frequently asked questions

Can I use Olay Double Action Day Cream & PRIMER under makeup?

Yes, the source copy states the silicones and lightweight texture make it suitable under makeup.

Is this cream for oily skin?

It is listed for normal and dry skin, so it is not the right match for oily skin.

Does it offer 24-hour hydration?

No, the copy only mentions everyday protection and environmental aggressor defence, not 24-hour claims.
