Thank you for sharing your encounter with our Olay Ultimate Niacinamide and Collagen Peptide24 Moisturizer. We are sorry to hear about the sticky feeling on your skin. That's not the kind of results we would expect for our consumers and we are sure this may have been a bit frustrating. We'll be sure to have your comments addressed with the rest of our Olay team. In the meantime, we are happy to help. Usually, this is an indication that too much product may have been used or one that is too hydrating for your skin type. For a better experience, we recommend using less than you normally would, and making sure the product is thoroughly rubbed in. If this doesn't seem to help, we recommend using a less hydrating version. For example, consider using a serum or a lotion for you skin instead. We would be happy to assist you further. Whenever you have the time, please give us a call at (800) 285-5170 or email us through our Contact Us Page.
