Olay Total Effects Moisturiser Day Cream Review

well, I love Olay products! and this day cream 'anti-aging' product makes it to my top 5.

I purchased the sensitive fragrance free one, as I didn't want to get the fragranced one (my skin is fairly normal, I just didn't want a fragranced day cream).

I don't normally purchase or wear day creams because they leave my skin with a 'moisture film' and I like my creams to get in there and absorb fast. I tend to just use whatever body moisturizer I have around the house. creams that give 'moisture film' feels like it blocks my pores and I start getting perspiration droplets around my nose and hairline (sweating after moisturizing...what the hell?!? hahaha).

I instantly love this cream because it doesn't sting or burn my eyes, it doesn't break me out in pimples, and my cheeks don't go all red or blotchy after applying it. as for the anti-aging effects, I'm not sure yet...but I reckon many moisturizing creams have anti-aging effects by way that they add moisture, giving plumper skin, and that appearance of younger complexion. (followed of course with water, good diet, and general health and wellbeing lifestyle).

i'll still try other anti-aging creams, but I think i'll definitely return to this one!

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.

I started using "Oil of Ulan" about 30 years ago and know the brand as a reputable stayer in the market. I had not used Olay Total Effects 7 products before. This is the day cream. I have seen it at the supermarket but think it rather pricey so was great to trial the full size product. I started using it, as directed on the box and bottle - twice a day. But found I was having breakouts especially around the decolltage area so cut back to once a day. Being a "day cream" I would have thought this would be the correct usage anyway, as you would then use a night cream application at night. I thought later I should have taken a photo of my face before and after ......will have to remember for any upcoming trials! But I do think the product delivered on all seven "signs of ageing". In particular dryness - I did have a couple of dry spots on my face....dry and almost itchy. And now they are neither. A do have quite large pores on my nose and Total Effects has had the effect of reducing them when applied. It has reduced the colour of spots (age spots? am I that old?) I had also. When using under a foundation, I did find I got quite shiney with the extra moisture...I do have a more oily T zone. All in all, I do like the product and will continue using this sample to the end to fully gauge if I think I would get my monies worth. I use one squirt each application.

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.
