Olay’s Total Effects

I got my free sample last Thursday courtesy of Anton’s Olay Total Effects post of. I was one of the lucky few (250 to be exact) who was able to get a piece of the much coveted ‘total‘ moisturizer. It was also last Thursday night, that I started using the said product.

The first few days were kinda off – there were 2 pimples that grew on my cheeks – but after 2 days, good thing – it went away. So, what do I think of the product? Well, to be honest, it’s still too early to tell – because officially – I’m on my 8th day. I’m giving it a month or two – to see if it really works. But so far, so good. My face has not been super oily, as some people claim the product does to their skin.

I love the light scent of the product – it’s so soothing. The consistency though, I was intimidated with. It was quite thick – I’m so used to very thin moisturizers, those that when applied gets easily absorbed. With Olay’s Total Effects – it rather took a while before it was totally absorbed. I can’t quite describe it in detail because the words escape me now. But it’s something like when you apply the moisturizer – it seems that your skin is being enveloped with the moisturizer rather than being absorbed by the skin. But I guess all products with SPF feel like that – maybe that’s what the SPF does to protect the skin (make another layer, or something).

Anyhoo, here’s a run down on the benefits of Olay’s Total Effects:
