Description And Packaging

This cream is meant for daily usage and contains anti-aging compounds along with other ingredients that will make your skin lighter and brighter. Its SPF content protects the skin from sun damage.

The cream is packaged in a cylindrical plastic bottle that comes with a pump and a plastic cap. The pump makes it easier to dispense product into your palm. It is also a hygienic feature as dipping fingers into a tub of cream can contaminate the rest of the cream. However, the residual cream peeks through the pump which can make the see-through cap a bit messy. This bottle comes in a black cardboard packaging. The overall look of the cream’s packaging is classy with the black and gold color theme.

My Experience With Olay Total Effects 7 in One Anti-Ageing + Fairness Cream (Review)

I started using this product after I freaked out over the fact that the lines under my eyes seemed to have multiplied/deepened (also, I should clarify that this might have been a little bit of an overreaction on my part.) I’ve been using the product for a month, and there is still some left in the bottle. While Olay Total Effects 7 in One Anti-Ageing Fairness Cream hasn’t really done anything for my imaginary “lines”, it is an efficient moisturizer which has made my skin extremely soft.

I use the product once every morning after cleansing my face. After a month’s use, I can definitely say that my face looks a lot healthier. The product does not clog my pores, and I have noticed a visible shrinkage of pores. While I cannot comment on how effective its anti-ageing properties are, with how it’s been working for me, I would say that it is suitable for people who are in their 20s and want to start the skin-preserving process.

Overall, The Olay Total Effects 7 in One anti-ageing fairness cream is a good moisturizing anti-aging cream for young women. It shows results in a matter of few weeks. Even though a few of its ingredients and features are not as appealing, the product as a whole is worth trying. It doesn’t clog pores or make the skin oily. It moisturizes the skin to the optimum without the greasy appearance. Follow this up with a sunblock for added protection from sun damage.
