Olay Total Effects 7 In One Day Cream – Normal : Review

Howdy friends? Another weekend treating you?

How quickly the days are going and we are almost bidding the current year goodbye. Have you worked on new year’s resolutions? It’s a tradition you know. To make new promises to yourself, then forcing yourself to keep them for few days of the new year and then slowly coming back to your old habits. Happens to me every year, but it’s fun.

Today, I am going to write about Olay Total Effects day cream. I was always hesitant to use it. Was afraid this would be a heavy cream. This does not feel heavy at all, but it still disappointed me. Let me tell you, why.

My Views

I got this during last summer, in the smallest packaging available. This cream has been advised to me by many beauticians also. So one fine day I got it. Initially I was impressed by the texture and almost non existent smell.

The texture of the cream is very smooth and lightweight. It spreads nicely on skin & gets absorbed very quickly.Leaving little sheen on the skin. There is no oily residue to bother afterwords.

It moisturises skin very well. One application in the morning keeps skin moisturised for all day long, given that I already have oily skin. But I think since the texture of the cream is creamy, even normal-dry skinned beauties will be happy with the moisturisation it provides.

Since it was summers and my skin is already oily, I had some oil issues after wearing this for about an hour or so, nothing major.

It contains SPF 15, but there is no white cast post application. SPF 15 is alright if you stay indoors, but if you have to step out of your house, you need to put a separate sunscreen.

I used it for about a week happily, and then I realised I have so many blocked pores which later resulted in to pimples.

The day creams that contain SPF, break me out always, so did this. It was such a disappointment. I had the same side effects after using the very famous La Roche Posay Lotion. And there, I stopped using this Olay Day Cream.

Dislikes

Since it broke me out, all the positive things does not matter. I could not get a chance to judge it’s anti ageing effects since I could not wear it for long.
