Olay Total Effects Moisturiser Normal UV SPF15 Review

Thank you for the opportunity to trial Olay Total Effects 7 in One. I like the consistency of the cream. Its smooth and neutral smell. I like that when you apply it, there is no greasy feeling. I cannot judge the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles as early as now and so with age spots reduction. Maybe a few more months of use and it will be noticeable. However, I can say that when I look up close, I noticed my skin tone to be even which I am happy about. It gives additional glow which is a positive since I don't wear make up. My measurement for its instant effectiveness is when others notice something different to me which sad to say, no one had commented.

I was lucky enough to be sent this product to review. I am a fan of Olay products, they are such a trusted, familiar brand that typically no matter what you buy, you’re always getting a decent product.

This moisturiser promises 7 benefits in one ranging from anti-ageing to improving uneven skin tone and texture, age spots, dryness, dullness and pores. It’s enriched with green tea and vitamins and contains SPF so sounded like a miracle product.

The product comes in a pretty pearly gold pump bottle. The pump dispenses just a little too much product so a single pump is more than enough to cover face a neck (use the excess on your hands).

The cream absorbs quite well and has a subtle scent. The instructions say to apply twice a day which I am assuming is because the SPF is quite low, but obviously you couldn’t do this if you wore it under makeup, and certainly not at night, so I found that a little odd. It does leave a slight sheen which I wasn’t a fan of, but if you like that look then this could be an alternative to a BB cream.

It does moisturise well, however nothing about it stood out for me, and I tend to go for a higher SPF for day creams. Overall I haven’t noticed any improvement in my skin so won’t be rushing to replace it.

I was excited to try this face moisturiser. It comes in a plastic pump bottle and has a very nuetral smell. It is very easy to apply and you only need a little bit as comes out of pump quite fast. Is a quite thick but smooths onto your skin easily. I have been using it every morning and to be honest I haven't noticed any different in my fine lines and wrinkles. I do however like the moisturiser itself as my skin does feel smooth and my makeup goes on easily afterwards and lasts all day. Its not greasy at all even though it looks quite thick. I would use again and it is value for money and easy to pop into your grocery shopping.

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.

I really love this moisturizer! Firstly the packaging.. I'm a sucker for nice packaging. I love the bottle shape and the pump is awesome! Not to much or too little comes out at a time. Plus it looks fancy on my bathroom shelf.

The scent is decadent. It is a nice velvety rich scent and perfect for winter.

It goes on smooth and doesn't leave an oily residue on my face leaving it feeling hydrated but not heavy.

I haven't noticed a lot of difference in regards to fine lines. But I deffinately have noticed a difference with the unevenness that I get in cooler weather. Plus my skin just feels and looks better.

Highly recommend this product!

Olay Total Effects 7 in One Day Cream Normal SPF15 is packaged in an opaque, chunky 50g airtight pump action bottle, and has a rich, creamy formula that is quickly absorbed into skin and leaving my skin feeling richly nourished and pampered, with a light delicate fragrance.

Olay's website describes it as being "A daily facial cream that provides 7 anti-aging benefits in 1, plus SPF15 to help protect against sun exposure, the #1 cause of premature visible aging. Formulated with green tea and vitamin (B3, Pro-B5 and E) enriched anti-aging complex with broad-spectrum SPF15 UVA/UVB sunscreen."

Total Effects 7 in One is dermatologically tested, and helps to revive tired looking skin by leaving it with a healthy glow with no greasy residue. It also minimises the appearance of fine lines, pores and spots, while smoothing and evening out skin texture, nourishes dry patches, and can be used under make-up.

Directions say to use it twice a day, applied liberally to a cleansed face and neck. I have oily skin and I find that one full pump is far too much product for my face and neck, half a pump is sufficient. I have used it as a night cream when traveling, as I had limited space in my bag, and I had no issues with breakouts or anything like that, as it's non-greasy and quickly absorbed, even though it does nourish and hydrate really well.

To be honest, I had very low expectations when I first opened this tube, and this product has seriously wowed me. I'll definitely be purchasing more of this, as the tube does last for months, and I love the fact that it has SPF in it.

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.

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.

When I think of Olay I'm taken back to years and years ago when I used a product by Olay and didn't like the smell at all - I didn't like the cream, I can't remember what it was but it didn't leave a good impression & I haven't touched Olay since.

I put my hand up for this trial because, as I said that was years ago, and given this product had SPF in it I was intrigued to see if my opinion would be changed. Surprisingly yes!

My skintype is "dry/dull", I have some fine lines & wrinkles and I'm covered in freckles, with a few age spots starting to sneak in. This 7 in 1 day cream for normal skin is so darn good for my skin, I'm loving it.

The texture is kinda puffy/creamy - hard to describe. I'm surprised it's for "normal" skin because during winter my skin is extra dry but this day cream has been great. Not sure how this would play out for people actually with "normal" skin.

The last skin consultation I had my face was so sun damaged. Knowing there's an SPF in this day cream is comforting and lets me leave out a step of purchasing and applying a sunscreen. It also hasn't stung my eyes at all (which I've experienced with ALL sunscreens on my face). I also love that this cream gives me radiance, it gives me glowy skin, I've been complimented a few times about my skin while wearing this.

I definitely would use this again! I love the packaging too :) oh and it smells good too!

I really love products that have SPF in them as I am so lazy at applying a separate one! This product is in a very cool packaging and has a pump applicator, which distributes the right amount. The cream product is lovely and rich, and soothes my dry skin. It leaves my skin feeling radiant and glow, and is a great base for my foundation.
