Review of Olay Total Effects Anti-Aging 7-in-1 Daily Moisturizer Fragrance Free

I had been using Estee Lauder's day serum for close to a year now every morning, and I really loved the results, I loved how it left my skin moisturized, but not greasy or shiny. However, ever since the warm weather began to perk up, I noticed that the expensive day serum was not working as effectively as it was during winter months when my face begged for more moisture. I noticed my skin looked shiner than usual, and knew I should probably change my day formula up a bit. Not only that, I'd save myself $55 a month by trying something new, and possibly cheaper.

This was when I decided to give Olay Total Effects Anti-Aging 7-in-1 Daily Moisturizer Fragrance Freea try. Although this daily moisturizer was much cheaper, it still calls for a pretty heavy price at nearly $20 for a 2 ounce bottle of the moisturizer. I, however, was spending much more every month, so for me this was a smaller price compared to the previous serums I was using. I take my skin care seriously, and now that I'm pushing 30, I try and get lotions and serums that will protect my skin against again. I want to keep my skin soft and wrinkle free for as long as possible, and I know that keeping skin young looking starts with how well you take care of your skin. Granted I won't remain wrinkle free forever, I want to keep small lines in check, and I have very fine lines near my eyes, and at my forehead.

Using Olay Total Effects Anti-Aging 7-in-1 Daily Moisturizer Fragrance Free promised to minimize lines, nourish the skin for a healthy glow, enhance my skin tone, gently exfoliate, refine pores, help prevent damage to the skins surface, and hydrate the skin for a firmer appearance. 7 promises in 1 2 ounce bottle. It seemed like a whole lot of wonderful promises, but I am sure you are wondering, like I was wondering when I first purchased the moisturizer, if I saw any differences in my skins overall appearance

Well I used Olay Total Effects Anti-Aging 7-in-1 Daily Moisturizer Fragrance Free for a month, daily, and I am here to share exactly how my skin looks 2 weeks later, after initially purchasing it.
Before getting into my results though, I wanted to mention the actual container the lotion comes in.
In the package the container the moisturizer comes in appears to be much larger due to the packaging. Out of the plastic seal, the container is rather small and does not have all too much weight to it. You cannot see inside of the container though, so it kind of stinks, because you won't know when you need a refill when you are running low. You just run out, and then have to go out and buy another bottle, if you liked it.

The container itself disperses a small amount of the moisturizer, which will be more than enough to cover one half of your face. Another squeeze down on the pump, and you will be able to finish the other half of your face. Do not forget to pay attention to your neck! I cannot count how many women forget to cover their necks, which in turn results in a beautiful healthy glow on their face, and a lackluster, wrinkly neck that does not match. So don't forget the neck ladies!

Anyhow, the lotion itself goes a long way. It has a silky like texture to it, which I really like because it allows you to cover your entire face and neck, with just a small amount of the lotion. The moisturizer itself is white, and it does not have a fragrance at all.

What I liked about the moisturizer was how quickly it absorbed into my skin, so I was able to apply my liquid foundation right after applying Olay Total Effects Anti-Aging 7-in-1 Daily Moisturizer.
 
The one thing you will want to note is that the moisturizer will not keep your skin shine free. You will want to apply a powder to your face after applying your liquid foundation in order to keep your skin shine free.

Anyhow, this was what I continued to do daily, for 2 weeks.

Results:
 
After 48 hours of using Olay Total Effects Anti-Aging 7-in-1 Daily Moisturizer, I was surprised at how much softer my skin appeared. I was not expecting to see any changes within a 2 day time span, but I swore that my skin appeared softer, more even in color tone, and dry areas were moisturized. My oily areas however still remained oily and shiny, and required a touch up of powder mid-day.

Fast Forward:
 
It has been approximately 2 weeks since I began using this moisturizer, and I see a big significance in my skin tone, my fine lines, and I especially notice the difference in my eye region. I used to have small thin fine lines at the corners of my eyes. I've been combating these lines for awhile now, with many lotions and serums that have promised great results. Some work, but if you stop using it, the fine lines come back quickly.

I hope this does not happen with Olay's Total Effects, because the results are very obvious, and much better than previous serums.

The one con I have encountered over the past 2 weeks though, is that break outs have become a little more common than what I am used to. I know that changing over your regularly used lotion to something new can cause this, but I change products frequently and never really have had problems. With Olay however, the issue is there, and I know that nothing else is causing it. They are small break outs, not gigantic pimples, but this definitely needs to be noted to those who are interested.

Overall:
 
Even with that one flaw, I would recommend this moisturizer. It has transformed my skin tone, giving me a more even and balanced color, and fine lines are much more faded than they were 2 weeks ago. This one was money well spent, and I would definitely buy this one again.
