Oil of Olay Total Effects

When it comes to Olay I'm a massive fan of the range and own loads of products. When it comes to looking after the skin on my face I'm hyper critical of my appearance and take the fight against aging terrible seriously. I hate the fact that I'm getting older to be completely honest with you. I hate the frown lines, wrinkles, age spots and anything else that makes me wake up sweating in the night with fear but at the same time I'm aware that at the end of the day there is a little that I can really do about it. I do believe however a good skin regime is very important for us ladies. I use decent cleansing and toning products to keep my skin clean and as glowing ...  Read the complete review

******** WARNING - A FEW SWEAR WORDS (COMPLETELY NECESSARY OF COURSE, LOL) ************* I have a large organ! You really wanted to know that, didn’t you?!! Actually, I’m not bragging – we all have a large one, it’s called SKIN. Last week I celebrated my 21st Birthday (*ahem* for the 14th time) and I approached the mirror with trepidation in the belief that overnight my face would have collapsed and gone south for the duration of my remaining years on this planet! The first quick inspection revealed no dramatic changes (phew) but on closer inspection I noticed the odd laughter line (Oi! What do you mean NOTHING'S ...  Read the complete review

Whatever possessed them to change the name from Oil of Ulay to Oil of Olay? It's not exactly a major image overhaul now is it? No doubt someone got paid a rude amount of money to come up with that masterpiece. Still, enough of my jealous snipes and on with the product opinion! I have to say, this is a fabulous range - the 'total effects' that is. I've been using their intensive overnight treatment for a few months and it has totally hit the spot for me. It has a rich consistency that is by no means greasy but definitely floods your skin with moisture and leaves you with a comfortable warm sensation. My dry skin just loves it.

Okay, so anyone who has previously read some of my opinions (or even just checked out my profile) will probably be wondering what the hell I am doing reviewing - let alone USING - an 'Oil of Olay' product. After all, I am a 'young' 22 1/2 years old, have only just managed to keep my spots under control and 'Oil of Olay' products seem to have the image of an 'old ladies' product' - but you couldn't be more wrong about this one! .:. Why I wanted this product .:. Now I may have 'young' skin, but there are certain things I don't like about it, namely my quite enlargened pores (on my chin and nose), uneven ...  Read the complete review

Time can be very cruel, I had good skin as a teenager but I had two wonderful boys and things have gone pear shaped over the years! As I've gotten older my skin has become quite dry and incredibly sensitive, the slightest thing will set it off and I'm presented with a blotchy mess that takes days to recuperate. With this thought in mind, it was quite difficult to choose a moisturizer that would make my dull skin look and feel more alive. I was fortunate enough to receive an Olay gift set for Christmas and it contained, amongst other things, a small sample tube of Olay Total Effects. So, with a little trepidation, I gave it a try for a week! ...  Read the complete review
