Product Review: Olay Total Effects Day Moisturiser SPF 15
You might well point out that there's not much need for sunscreen just now with spring still running fashionably late, but any anti-ageing moisturiser worth its salt will have built-in protection from the sun, which is, after all, the biggest culprit in drying out and discolouring our skin.
But that's all beside the point, which is that Olay's Total Effects Day Moisturiser is definitely one of the good guys if you're looking for a low to mid-range price that's easy to grab and replace on the high street. I've only been using it for two weeks, but what's struck me about this moisturiser so far is that it gives something I've not personally experienced beore: instant results. I'd heard a fair bit of hype about it, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the product lived up to it.
I'm not sure how fantastic this product is at actually 'rejuvenating' the skin at a deeper level, but the appearance it creates on application is enough of a selling-point for me. Tired, dry and rapidly ageing skin (that's me after a bad day at the office) is quickly quenched, transformed to being more youthful and vibrant-looking after a few dabs. My skin picks up the light in a different way once I've applied this moisturiser, and seems to keep up that dewy sheen for the rest of the day.
The other quality of this product that I love is it's a comforting, soothing rich cream that I feel comfortable using several times a day: it doesn't tighten or numb the skin the way some anti-ageing creams do, so can be used liberally, in the same way I'd use my trusty tube of Nivea or E45.
I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone with oily skin, as it does create an oilier tone with a subtle shine to it that's great for sprucing up dull skin, but could look greasy on skins that are more naturally moist.
