Brand Review: OLLY

Over the past four months, I have tried various vitamins and products from the brand OLLY. We all know vitamins are a necessity so I found this brand and wanted to start taking better care of my body. I am a very picky eater so sometimes I don’t get all the vitamins I need from food. These are a great option and they really work! Here are some of the vitamins I tried out and what I think of them. 

First off, “Sleep.” These are “for a healthy sleep cycle” and the highlighted ingredients are melatonin, L-Theanine, and Botanicals. It has a blackberry flavor which isn’t too bad. Flavor aside, these really work! I always have trouble falling asleep. I’ve tried other melatonin pills and they just don’t work as well as these do. You take them about 30 minutes before bed and they honestly put me right to sleep. I start to feel really sleepy, shut my eyes and I’m asleep. Especially during COVID-19 I was having trouble falling asleep because of anxiety and worry but I started taking these and was able to fall right to sleep. I am already on my 3rd bottle!  I highly recommend these. I also tried out the “Bedtime Beauty” vitamins which is a part of the Sephora collection and is sold on sephora.com. These are also great if you want a boost of beauty while you sleep! 

I also tried out the “Undeniable Beauty” vitamins. This is one of the best tasting ones as they taste like grapefruit! These are great for your hair, skin and nails. These include biotin, vitamins C and E and keratin. I’m on my second bottle of these and I notice a difference in how healthy my hair looks, my nails have gotten stronger and both have grown so much quicker. I really enjoy these and are great if you are looking to strengthen your hair or nails!

“Goodbye Stress” are vitamins containing GABA, L-Theanine and lemon balm. I take these whenever I get stressed out or know that I will have a stressful day. During finals and exams these are great and help calm me down and stay focused on my studying. 

Another one of my favorites is “Glowing Skin” with hyaluronic acid, collagen and sea buckthorn. I love these because I feel like it gives my skin that glowing boost that it needs. Using this along with your everyday skincare routine will make your skin glow!  

“Probiotic + Prebiotic.” I love these because probiotics are so important to have as well as prebiotics for your digestive system. These are peach flavors with some sugar crystals on it and they taste great! You just take one a day and you’re good to go. 

Along with the “Probiotic + Prebiotic” I also take “The Perfect Women’s Multi Vitamin.” These taste great and they give you all the vitamins you need daily. No matter what brand you should be taking multivitamins. These taste great and are a great option! 

“Swift Energy” is a pineapple flavored vitamin to give you the quick energy boost you need! I take these if I am going to workout and am feeling tired. They give me enough energy that I need to get through my workout. 

“Daily energy” is the only product that I have tried from OLLY that I have a problem with. These worked so great for me. They gave me energy throughout the day but I had a problem with vitamin B12 in this. It caused me so many breakouts. I don’t have acne prone skin at all. I get a pimple here and there but taking so much of this vitamin everyday caused me to break out all over my forehead. I stopped taking these and my breakouts cleared up. This may not happen to everyone, just personally my body could not handle 300 mcg of vitamin B12. 

Overall, I really love this brand and I hope to try out more of their vitamins. My favorite is definitely “Sleep.” Leave a comment if you try any of these out! 

Love always,
