I like using products they give a nice glow to the skin. I am not saying I am into whitening products; but it is nice to have that subtle glow, a radiance of sorts. Having heard a lot of good things about Olay and serums in general, I picked up my first ever serum – Olay White Radiance Intensive Brightening Serum.
The product claims to “Intensive treatment with high concentration of whitening active & dual color vitamin beads. Tackles surface and hidden whitening issues; for luminous fairness. White Radiance has high concentration of CelLucent whitening active, Vitamin B3, Natural Plant Whitening Extract and dual color vitamin beads. Tackles both surface and hidden whitening issues like spots, darkness, and uneven skin tone. Non-greasy formula. Use with UV cream/lotion during day time.
The Results
- From first use, skin looks brighter
- See dark spots & uneven tone visibly reduced
- With regular use, tackle hidden whitening issues
- For natural, Luminous Fairness from deep within* (*in the epidermis)”
MY EXPERIENCE WITH OLAY WHITE RADIANCE INTENSIVE BRIGHTENING SERUM
On first impression I was really fascinated with the packaging. The serum comes in transparent packing with a pump mechanism. There is a base / level at the bottom, and as you use the product the base moves up. It is quite effective and reduces product wastage. The serum has a runny consistency and the beads in the solution dissolve easily. I didn’t buy this product hoping to whiten or lighten my skin. But, the product claims that and rather failed at it. However, it added a subtle glow to my face moisturizing and plumping it up.
The Olay serum is very lightweight and gets absorbed into the skin in a jiffy. Oil skinned beauties – this will work for you. It works well under makeup and hasn’t broken me out. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. However, I wish it worked on lightening the marks on my face, and that it were a little more economical. Either way I am happy with my first serum.
THE GOOD
- Adds subtle glow to the face
- Moisturizes and plumps up skin
- Easy to use spill proof packaging
- Feels lightweight and gets absorbed in to the skin easily
- Did not break me out
- Can be used under makeup
- Has mild fragrance
THE BAD
- On the expensive side
- Not much impact on scars or acne marks
- Doesn’t brighten or lighten skin as per claims
OVERALL VERDICT: 3.5 / 5
PRICE: Rs. 1299/- for 50 ml available on AMAZON

It was a disappointment. I’ve been trying to get rid of some scars and marks and I thought this would help. Way too high priced, but I like the glow it imparts.
that is so annoying when products do not fulfill their claims.. I will surely avoid this now

Brands base these claims on certain studies, but a lot of times its on ideal conditions and we don’t live in ideal conditions. I will use this up, but I am looking for other serums.
This looks pretty average, there are many better serums available in the market. Nice review Sangeeta <3
Thanks Rakhshanda. I found is too expensive for the results.
The packaging is good, the only thing I liked about the product. But rest sounds quite average. Nothing good for the price it comes at.

I was hoping for it to work on the scars I have, and it let me know down a bit there.
Too expensive for an average performance..
Agreed.

It is a decent product. But I found it quite over priced for the results.
Too bad it didn’t turned out as your expectations! It’s pricey too.

A little disappointed about it.
Wish it has something to do with acne scars.

Same here Subha. I bought it hoping it will help, but it barely made a difference.
Haven’t heard of this before, I found it pretty average considering your review.
