Total Effects Time Resist Moisturiser is a product to help reduce the appearance of the seven signs of ageing for visibly younger-looking skin”.

My mum is 52 yrs old and has been using Olay products since her mid twenties and if I have skin as nice at her age I’ll be very happy indeed! That is why I started using Total Effects just over 2 years ago at the age of 23. If, like me, you have very sensitive skin, then this is for you. I’ve used so many products and wasted so much money on moisturisers which claim to be ‘skin sensitive’ and the next day look like a pizza! But not with Olay!!!!

Total Effects not only helps maintain moisture all day, but my skin has a more velvety feel to the touch and a more healthy glow. . The smell is really quite pleasant and fresh (reminds me of holiday’s) and the consistency is a nice thick creamy (easily absorbed) expensive looking cream, with a nice peachy colour.

I even mix Total Effects with my foundation for a night out and it stops you getting that ‘dried foundation’ look as the ‘VitaNiacin’ (a unique complex of Vitamin E, Vitamin B3 and Pro-Vitamin B5) keeps feeding your face all that good stuff!

At first I was a bit put off by the price (average of £18.50) but it lasts for months at a time! I use it twice a day and you only need the size of a small pea to cover the face and neck and there is no oily residue left.

The product comes in a natty container, which doesn’t take up too much space in your handbag or cosmetic cupboard… but could be a bit more jazzy!
