Olay Total Effects Daily Moisturizer Reviews

Hurray for Olay!
Olay products just keep getting better. I am still amazed at how far they've come, from a gentle pink fluid in a simple, black-and-white box to a treasure trove of products for nearly every condition possible! I've been using this on and off for awhile and love it (I stray because I tend to be fickle and try other brands). This particular product claims to deal with seven specific issues: 1) Diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; 2) Smoothes skin's texture--visibly and to the touch; 3) Improves surface dullness, giving a radiant glow; 4) Evens skin's tone to make it look younger; 5) Minimize the appearance of pores; 6) Visibly reduce blotches and age spots; and 7) Soothe dry skin, hydrating with Olay moisture. A look at the ingredients shows why it does work; it contains glycerin, dimethicone (a humectant), salicylic acid (works to rid skin of dead, dry cells), squalane (a lipid for moisture), and titanium dioxide, which slightly brightens and whitens your complexion. I love this product. The pump metes out just a small amount without contaminating the rest of the product. It's great for all types of skin, from oily to very dry. It is lightweight, never leaves a heavy residue, and truly hydrates and rids skin of fine furrows. I did notice a softer, more radiant look to my face (and neck--don't forget your neck and décolletage here). It does indeed feel better. Skin has improved clarity. There are a few brown spots on one cheek which weren't changed for the better by this cream, but most creams do not work as they say they will on uneven pigmentation. I like the fact that it absorbs easily. I wait very briefly and can apply my Lancôme powder foundation with ease! All in all, it's a winner! An SPF factor would make it better, but for the price you pay, you do get more than your money's worth! — 1 week, 1 day agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Another Olay Great!
This product is excellent. It works as promised and is truly fragrance free. It is lighter than the SPF version of the product, so for those of you who have tried the SPF and found it too heavy, give this a try. — 1 year, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 7 of 11 people said helpful

A Very Pleasant Surprise
This moisturizer is unbelievable! I tried a bunch of other products (drugstore and luxury) to combat my dry and often irritated skin, but only olay total effects 7 did the trick. I've been using it for about 3 weeks now, and my skin looks soooo much better! I completely gave up foundation and barely use concealer anymore. I don't know how great this is as an anti-aging product, I don't really have many lines, but it is absolutely great as a moisturizer and gives the skin beautiful glow and much clearer, smoother complexion. I definitely felt the difference right after the first use, and it's been getting better and better. It is a bit pricey for drugstore brand, but is totally worth it, because it actually works and you don't need much! And there are often Olay sales too. The product absorbs fast, no oily (or any other residue), the package is very nice as well- the pump allows you to get just as much moisturizer as you need, and you don't have to stick your fingers in a jar, which is always pain in the neck. Definitely recommend! — 2 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 6 people said helpful

Great for aging women with oily skin or acne
This is scented but did not irritate my skin. I have dry combo skin and it was a little bit too drying for me in the cheek area, but it really worked in the acne prone areas. This is a great product for women with oilier skin who are also approaching or beyond forty and are concerned about wrinkles. Many anti-aging prodcuts are also for severely dry skin and do not work well even for me, let alone oiler skins. — 4 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 7 people said helpful

What from olay isnt great?!
I love this. I love the 7 total effects i see a def improvement in my skin, in my fine lines and wrinkles. I only use a baby amount to cover my entire face. It makes up for the price in the amount of product. The packaging is amazing! I love everything olay. I have used almost all their moisturizers and i love them all! — 6 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Staple
This formula is as perfect as you can ask for in a drugstore brand. It has nice aesthetics, no odor, lots of goodies for your skin, and feels comfortable on skin, for day or night. It isn't too heavy or light, and glides onto skin smoothly and absorbs well. Oily skin and dry skin can use this product. It's not sticky, and it doesn't make your face shiny. It is great under a makeup as well. — 4 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 8 of 13 people said helpful

Totally Unimpressed
My personal experience with Olay tends to be hit or miss; this one is a "miss." I have been using it for about 6-8 weeks now and have not noticed a thing. No change in tone, pores, pore size, clarity, evenness; nothing. I am 33 with oily skin in the summer and oily/combo in the fall/winter. I have larger pores and some blackheads in the nose/chin area, and my skin tends to be somewhat acne prone. I also have a little bit of unevenness. The moisturizer is okay; the price is nice if you have a coupon. I thought there was not enough product in the bottle to be worth paying for it without a coupon. I will still continue to try Olay products here and there; some of them work really well. However, it is always disappointing when you try a product that has such great reviews and it doesn't seem to work nearly as well as it does with everyone else. I will continue to use it until the bottle is done, but will be looking for another anti-aging moisturizer, possibly another drugstore brand, maybe even Olay! We shall see. :) As far as this girl goes, I will not be purchasing again in the future. Oh, ONE plus. It does tend to hold moisture well on the skin's surface. A great for girls with dryer skin! — 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

A Bit Heavy
When I was living in Los Angeles, this worked great! I mostly only used in in winter since heaters at work/school/home really dried dried out my skin, especially on my chin and around my nose. This worked really well to soothe painful dry spots and absorbed quickly without feeling heavy or greasy. I loved it. Then I moved to New Orleans & I had to stop using it. If you live in a humid area, this is going to feel really heavy, like it's not absorbing. It's now uncomfortable to wear! I still keep it on hand when I go visit family in California though, just in case! — 2 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 5 people said helpful

Great Stuff
I am an Olay girl by heart and this is one of my favorite two general moisturizers-between this and the Definity (ok I also like Aveeno Positively Ageless) I'm set. It is rich and moisturizing but never at all greasy-no spots and it does not keep your makeup from going on evenly. I have seen a differece in my skin since using products like this one-especially the Olay moisturizers. I even use it in the eye area some times and it never stings which many day lotions do. Nice — 3 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

Meh. I'll keep looking.
Not a bad product, but for the price I don't feel it did anything to improve my appearance- I have 2 sun/age spots that remain unchanged. Again, not what I was hoping for. — 4 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful
