Olay Total Effects Moisturiser Normal UV SPF15 Review

I received this moisturiser part of the trial team and have so far used this for a week and a bit. Although I didn't notice any huge 'anti ageing' effects in this time - on my makeup free days - I did notice a bit of skin tone even-ing and it applied quite nicely. Not greasy and it went on well under my foundation.With regards to the 'anti age-ing effects', perhaps prolonged use might make a difference but in the time I used this, I didn't notice much. The thing I most love about this moisturiser is that it is SPF 15. This would be great for summer when spending lots of time in the sun, at the beach etc. Would I buy this? Argh its a hard one! If anything this is quite pricey and I'm quite budget/value conscious when it comes to buying products (e.g will I get my worth back). Because of this I would stick to my standard Olay moisturiser. Otherwise I would recommend this product!

I found this moisturiser similar to other Olay products to be honest. The smell took me right back to sneaking blobs of my mums Olay creams when I was younger! I love the spf included (a necessity!) and it was fast absorbing and made my skin feel smooth but I did get a bit greasy throughout the day and I havn't seen any reduction of fine lines etc. All in all its an ok product, good for those on a budget.

I was so excited to get this product , thr timing was perfect as I was in dire need to switch up from my normal after hitting 31 and winter! There were two big things thay stood out righy off the bat. Firstly the box wasn't insanely bigger than the actual bottle and secondlu, I adored the fresh smell....not too muc perfume, just a hint of freshness. I go through my standard routine of clense, serum moisturise and get caught off guard with the amount of product that comes out in one pump. Going foreard, I really try to do a partial pump so as not to waste it. I like how olay feels on mu skin, my skin feels softer for sure. I am yet to notice any fine lines disappearing so am keen to see what happens after a month or two. Definitely keen to keep using

Olay Total Effects Day Cream SPF 15 has lots of claims that tis will fight the seven signs of ageing, including dryness, dullness, enlarged pores, sagging uneven texture, uneven tone, fine lines and wrinkles. The addition of an SPF 15 would make it the total over the counter solution to protect and revitalise aging skin, such as mine. I was delighted at the scent of the product, nice, light and clean. The packaging is attractive, with all the claims visible so you know what you can expect to improve by using this product. The container is easy to use with one hand making it easy to apply. I started by using this product in the morning, after my shower and before putting on my make-up. I found that it had a nice non-greasy feel and my makeup didn’t fall off with this underneath it as it absorbs fast into the skin.

The only thing that I found with my sensitive skin was that this product dried it out and gave me exceptionally dry patches around my mouth and chin in the morning. After a few days I stopped using the Olay Total Effects Day Cream as the dryness caused flakiness in my skin and I found that it wasn’t the right product for me. I do have sensitive skin and thought this moisturiser would be ok, but it did not work well with all of the skin on my face. Going forward I may use it on my neck, eye area and upper face but will refrain from using it where the skin reacted.

I believe for others this may be a perfect all over solution that is not too expensive but affordable and many others may have better all over results that I experienced.

Olay Total Effects Moisturiser is presented in a cylindrical plastic bottle that comes with a pump. At first I thought the bottle was really strange looking but have actually enjoyed the pump as it seems more hygienic and you can squirt straight into you palm. The consistency is thick but was really easy to spread. Once coverage was complete my skin felt well moisturised, light and fresh. My skin did not get the oily appearance that most thick/heavy day creams seem to have on my skin. The fragrance is of a subtle but pleasant floral scent. One squirt covered the whole of my face and neck so this product will last a decent length of time. I can deffinitely say my skin looks healthier and after 5 days of using it didn't clog pores. I am unable to say whether this product does or will be effective in reducing fine lines and wrinkles given i have only used for 5 days. Overall in would recommend this product as it doesn't clog pores or make skin oily. It is a great price at $14.99 for a 50ml bottle. I will continue to use and hope to see a reduction in fine lines.
