Olay Total Effects Moisturiser Day Cream Review

I love how this moisturizer makes my skin feel. It makes my skin feel soft and smooth and my foundation glides on after I have applied it. At $33.72 it is great value for money. The one thing that did take a lot of getting used to was the fragrance. It is very strong, I prefer something much more subtle. One thing my skin lacks is hydration and Olay Total Effects Moisturizer Day Cream is perfect for rehydrating my tired skin.

I found this simple and easy to you daily and it fitted in well with my hectic schedule. I applied twice a day, needing only a small squeeze of the pump to cover my face and neck, I found it felt a little sticky once first applied nut after time this went away leaving my skin feeling soft and a nice smell left behind. I will continue to use , since my skin looks and feels a lot more hydrated since i started using it.

Thank you for the opportunity to try.

I luckily got this product from the last vault. I like Olay products and I use lots of creams - day and night creams - so I was feeling very fortunate to get this one.

It comes in a classy box with Olay branding, and inside is a cute pump pot with Olay branding. The pump works very well, which I really like.

The product is a thick white cream and it has a fresh clean scent. It absorbs well into my skin and leaves a soft waxy feel behind it. My skin looks and feels lovely after a couple of weeks of using it. It has certainly helped repair the dullness and dryness. I have returned to my old tendency of using a lot of product, and the bottle is almost empty. I have been using it morning and night though - that's my excuse!

I like this product a lot and do recommend it to others to try. I would repurchase it. I think $32.99 is a fair price for a good moisturiser.

I’ve never really had much luck with moisturisers that contain sunscreen. I often find the texture of spf-containing moisturisers too thick and/or too greasy. Not so with with this one: the texture’s not too thick or greasy, but rather it’s just right, which makes it easy to rub on to the skin. It also feels nice on the skin after you’ve applied it - I’ve never experienced any kind of reaction to this moisturiser and it absorbs into the skin well. It does seem to keep my skin feeling healthy and hydrated as well, so in my experience it lives up to its claim of providing ‘nourishing moisturisation’.

I also find the packaging quite nifty and user-friendly. It’s a stocky little pump bottle that is easy to hold in one hand, and then you just pump the moisturiser out into the palm of your other hand. There’s no mucking around with this moisturising cream, you just pump out however much you need and put it down again. The design makes it quick and easy to pump the cream out precisely rather than pouring out too much in one go. I’ve learnt that just one to two pumps into my palm is enough for me each time I use it. So it’s economical as a daily moisturiser because I don’t run out of it too quickly.

The smell is a bit bland, but at least it doesn’t smell too SPF-ish. There’s nothing worse than moisturiser that smells (or feels) like sunscreen.

I don’t think this moisturiser quite has the ‘wow factor’ for me to give it five kisses as it doesn’t feel overly luxurious or pampering to use. But it’s definitely a good, everyday moisturiser, which I would both recommend to others and buy again.

Good design of a bottle first off. I used to use this often.Good price. Ok results but I just found other creams along the way.

Lucky enough to be chosen for this trial I received the actual product and felt by the looks it was a bit boring, packaging & colouring very bland and to be honest I always overlooked Olay on the shelf. Seemed old school to me.

3 weeks later I really have learnt a big lesson, don't judge everything by looks. All the flashy funky looking packaging of other products doesn't necessarily = great. 7 signs for me have been reduced drastically (i have a couple of wrinkles inbetween my eyebrows that maybe only botox would fit), fine lines/wrinkles, uneven tone, age spots, uneven texture, dryness, dullness & pores all improved. My skin is more "plumby" with results I am very happy with. I look forward to using this product for at least 3 months to see continual improvement.

I also find it to be a perfect base for foundation. At the $34 mark its a good all round price point IMO.

Only a few little negatives. The push pump does give a generous amount of cream, I only half pushed it & I wouldn't rely on the spf 15 that it has to protect skin (in saying that it is middle of summer and wouldn't rely on any spf in face cream at this time of the year) so don't forget to apply more sun lotion if out and about.

I recommend this product to all.

I wore this for 15 years on a daily basis before swapping to another brand for a bit of variety. Though lately I have been missing a product that is gentle and has a spf, works with my foundation and doesn’t sting my eyes.

My initial thought on first use was it's a tad thick and heavy for a day cream but I soon got over that. I've only used this for a short while, but I really, really like it.

It says it fights the 7 signs of aging and given a bit more time it could well live up to that statement. Certainly it is moisturising, non greasy and SPF factor lived up to it's claim, so a great start. I goes on smoothly, and you don't need a lot, it smells fresh and the bottle is pretty looking, with a handy pump which dispenses the right amount.

I'm converted and would be happy to keep using this product. Great price too.

I found that on my skin it absorbed quickly which is a great time saver on busy mornings as it allowed me to apply my make up quicker than my current product I use. It also made my face feel nourished and supple. It helped with dryness around my nose area which I was very pleased with. The pump bottle did get a little messy around the tip but other than that im very happy with the overall results of this product and would use again.
