Jergens Nat. Glow vs. Olay Radiance

sweater girl · BCBG

I have tried both and at the moment I prefer the Olay, but I have only tried the NG in medium. I think the fair NG might be better for me but I haven't been able to find it. I really don't notice much difference in the texture or scent of both products. Mainly it's a color issue for me...I am fair and the medium NG seems a little dark on my skin...slightly more orange. The Olay, at least right now, is producing the perfect natural streak-free glow for me. I may try the medium NG later in the summer when I have a little more natural color but for now I'm going to stick with the Olay.

I don't know about Olay, but I REALLY feel like the Jergens isn't making me darker. I have the medium, and I use it every day, but I'm not darker at all. I guess I'm fairly tan as it is, but I dont know.

for me the olay radiance doesn't do a damn thing. I'm still just as ghostly pale as I was before. I want to try the JNG, but I can't find it anywhere!! I want to be tan though, so part of me jsut wants to get the JNG medium without trying the fair, but that's probably not a good idea.

I'm ghostly pale normally too lindsayp and I say get the JNG in medium..it's given me a nice, natural tan glow. I tried the fair shade first and it did nothing at all for me.

damn, because just tonight I finally found JNG in fair. I grabbed the last bottle and ran like hell!!

I guess I'll try that and then keep tracking down the medium.

Haha!!! That's what I did when I found the Olay stuff. I had been to Target, Walmart, Kmart and CVS and finally found it at the Supermarket! There were only two bottles left!

You know, I found some Jergens around here (ATX) if y'all want some. I can post them on my ebay site and sell them to y'all if y'all want. I haven't looked for any for a couple weeks but I didn't have a problem finding it then. Let me know!

As for reviews, I noticed color on me with Jergens NG immediately (the next day anyway). It doesn't smell - unless I get up really close and put my leg to my nose or something. I'm pretty pleased. And no streaking either. I'm having trouble getting my back evenly because of the whole reaching thing but I'm getting better at it.

YAY!!! I finally found JNG!! I nabbed one of the last two tubes from Target yesterday. Woohoo!!!

JNG is back in stock... At least taht's what the email they sent me said.

As for both products, I have used both and I have to say I like JNG better because Olay didn't do a thing for me. I use the JNG Medium, and I notice just a tiny bit more tan (I'm already naturally pretty tan).
