Olay Total Effects By Sparkle333 By Sparkle333 on Jul 31, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I am a big fan of Olay products. I use Olay at night as a moisturizer, and I love Olay Face Wash. But I must say that this product did not work for me the way I had hoped. I am in my mid-fifties, and beginning to be concerned about aging and wrinkles. I thought perhaps I would try this Total Effects 7-In-1 Anti-Aging daily moisturizer. It is supposed to reduce lines, moisturize, balance color and reduce age spots, gently exfoliate, minimize appearance of pores, decrease skin damage, and hydrate and firm skin.

Surprisingly, I felt that it actually dried my skin. This bothered me enough to stop using it every day. I can honestly say that this is the first Olay product that I was disappointed in. It claims to give "visibly younger-looking skin" but for me the lack of moisture just made my skin feel dryer. Perhaps this is just my experience, and others have found it to be as advertised.

It is dermatologically tested, and it won't clog pores. It absorbs very quickly and is oil-free. It also contains antioxidants and vitamins.

I am sure that everyone's skin is unique, and the way it responds to lotions and creams may be as well. I have read reviews that indicate others are well pleased with the product. This is just my experience. In no way will it affect my opinion of Olay products. I trust their purity and gentleness, but this moisturizer just didn't seem to do the trick for me.
