Olay Total Effects 7-In-1 Anti-Aging Daily Moisturizer 1.7 Fl. Oz.
CUSTOMER REVIEW
Over the past few years I've been conscientious about the products that I put on my skin. There are so many (literally thousands) of possible products to use, each one of them with different effects both positive and negative. It's quite hard because of this to find the right balance of products for my skin, which is why I've been diligently trying different recommended products over the past year to find the right combination. I've chosen Olay Total Effects because there are a number of different benefits to this cream that you'd only find by using multiple creams at once. I like the idea of cutting down on what I put on my face, not adding more. It gives me UV protection which his crucial, and also has plenty of Niacinamide (Vitamin B) which helps prevent the aging of skin. One thing this product does not have is a lot of Vitamin C. They use simple ascorbic acid in this product, which is supposed to help the face absorb the moisture. I've found to get the best effects out of Olay Total Effects, you need to prep your face first with a Vitamin C Serum like this one.
What this does is helps your skin absorb the moisture from the cream, and lock in that moisture throughout the course of the day. Simply putting only the cream on your face, you'll see some minor effects, but using the Vitamin C greatly enhances the regenerative properties of Olay, and will also increase the collagen around your eyes and the areas that are most troublesome as we age and go out in the sun.
Lastly, if I'm going to go out into the sun for a longtime I'd recommend trying to completely different product than Olay Total Effects, for example Olay REgenerist Sunscreen. It has a much higher SPF count than Total Effects, however if you're indoors for most of the day Total Effects is a far superior product in terms of preventing the signs and look of aging.
