Olay Total Effects Cream

Olay claims that this is a seven in one anti ageing moisturiser. When it first came out, these claims are the reason I bought it. As with a lot of claims made by skin care companies, I didn't find this to be true, but I have found that it's an effective moisturiser for normal to slightly dry skin.

Over the years I've gone through at least five bottles of Total Effects cream. I've been sitting here trying to think of how to describe it, and I'm not coming up with a lot. It's not an exciting moisturiser, but it does the job. For me it's not a favorite, but when I need a good, basic moisturiser this is what I use. It isn't anti ageing, it doesn't do anything other than keep my skin moisturised. It sinks in quickly and doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy. I usually buy the SPF 15 version.

There are four different versions available, they are: Normal, Normal with SPF 15, Fragrance Free, Fragrance Free with SPF 15.
