Being someone who is always on the lookout for a bargain you can imagine my delight while engaged in my weekly shopping spree or ‘drudge’ as I prefer to call it, I spotted one of Tesco buy one get one free offers; purchase one pot off Olay’s Touch moisturising cream for the princely sum of £6.00 for 50ml and they give me a pot for free, to good to miss this one. Items now in my possession it’s time to get home and look forward to ‘touchable, beautiful’ skin that the advertisements tell me I’m going to get. This offer has now finished, but before you get too disappointed please read on.
~The packaging~
The moisturising cream itself is contained within a frosted white glass pot with a black screw topped lid, and is presented in a lightweight cardboard box adorned with the gold Olay logo. ~The price~
Boots 50ml 6.99 = 13.98 per 100ml
Tesco 50 ml 6.00 =1200 per 100ml : Probably best to shop around for the best deal.
~Availability~
Most of the major retailers who stock beauty products
~Skin type suitability~
Olay Touch is suitable for normal, dry, oily and combination skins, I have also read that it is ‘gentle enough to be used around the eye area’. It has been dermatological tested and is non comedogenic. Comedogenic meaning it won’t clog you pores. I would tend to disagree with this, as I will explain later. And a hydrating delivery system that is long lasting, particularly good if you’re prone to dry patches.
~Instructions~
Apply to a well-cleansed face and neck, morning and night.
~Ingredients~
This is total beyond me not being chemically minded, but for those of you who are interested I have placed them at the end of my review.
~The product~
Ok, here goes; lid off time for the sniff test; a very pleasant subtle rose aroma with violet under tones it reminds me of my grannies cottage garden. Lovely Now for the texture test, very smooth the cream melts quickly into the skin leaving no sticky or residue oiliness.
~The results~
Being the wrinkly that I am, yep I’ve got them, there they are etched on my features for all to see. So I slather, lather and without fail massage the product into my skin for weeks and yes the old skin feels soft, smoother but… SPOTTY, blemished, zitty, or whatever your favoured word is for them, horrid creamy deposits sitting under my skin. Now I cannot categorically say Olay Touch caused this, perhaps I choose the wrong product for my skin type; an oily T zone with dry patches and the odd large pore. All I can conclude is that since changing products the spots have receded, but the wrinkles I unfortunately I think are here to stay. And I have a delightful if not expensive hand cream.
