When it comes to the lotions and potions we slather on our faces, we've got drawers full of 'em. Sunscreens, serums, skin-tightening, brightening, anti-aging, line-fighting -- you get the picture. Between applying our eye cream and waiting for an antioxidant serum to set in, sometimes our skin care regimen alone takes up ten minutes of our morning -- and that's before applying any makeup.

Enter: Olay CC Cream Total Effects Tone Correcting Moisturizer with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 15. That's a mouthful, and with good reason. This CC cream is a triple-stream formula that packs in your daily anti-aging moisturizer, a sunscreen, and a sheer tint. The formula targets signs of aging -- fine lines and wrinkles, uneven tone, age spots, and dryness; all while improving cell turnover and strengthening the skin's barrier against moisture loss.

We gave Olay's CC Cream to 25 different women to see if it lived up to its claims. Can you really fight signs of aging with just one product that also acts as a moisturizer, sunscreen, and provides tinted coverage? Click ahead to find out what they had to say.

Worth the investment
"At first application, I was surprised at how moisturizing and lightweight this product is. About a pea size amount is more than enough to provide full coverage of your face and neck. It feels like it is going on clear, but once applied, the dark spots seem faded, and the tone of my skin seems to be more smooth, and my age spots are delightfully covered. With the lightweight product, you can build coverage to your desired level. I found that two applications gave a very full coverage without the heavy feeling you get from a BB cream or regular foundation. It felt like my natural skin, but with a smoother tone and soft to the touch. I will continue to use this product as my dark spots/age spots seem to have decreased and the tone of my skin is much more even. I definitely recommend this to any person who is looking for a high quality lightweight coverage without the heavy feeling of a foundation!" -- flirtygirl214

Long lasting, light coverage with a dewy glow
"I truly enjoyed using this product. It went on light and felt more like a moisturizer than a full on foundation." -- jadenbru

Very impressed
"It blended very well, no streaks or odd blotches and it matched my skin tone. It covered and evened my face, but I was very happy to find it did not hide my freckles, which I happen to like very much. I felt like I had a nice summer glow. A friend even complimented my skin after using it (she did not know I was using a new product) and said my face looked clearer and sun kissed. I was very impressed and I will definitely keep using this product." -- mrselliott08

Good for a natural look
"I find that it blends well into the skin and does seem to improve the tone and texture of my skin. Sometimes at home, I like to look like I am not wearing makeup and this does the trick nicely. I also wore this as a primer/sunscreen under my other foundation and it worked great." -- Bakersdozen
