I have been using this brand for almost a decade now, even my mother was using it when she was younger.
I think with a brand that has been around for so long - it really proves that whatever they're putting into that product really works and not just a case of good marketing.
i have tried everything from moisurisers to eyecreams and cleanser and have generally had no problems.
Olay Complete Moisteriser: This has a combonation of vitamins and minerals along with UV filters to protect your skin. This moisturiser really works. Having used it the same night I'd bought it I could see a better difference the next day. My complexion seemed more even, looked more radiant and also well moisturised. I had tried both the fluid and the cream, both are just as good, though I found it moisturised better and the results were better too - this may be due to the concentrations betwwen the two. Having said that, I found that they both made my skin oilier during the day. This is a very good make-up base as well and at about £5-7 depending on whether you buy the fluid or cream, it's more than worth it's value in effectiveness.
Olay Sensory Moisturiser: This was lovely, it smelt nice,and felt so good on your face. It was so comfortable that it was like having a soft nice smelling duvet over your face. This is a very sensual light texured cream. Although, it took a few weeks to see the benefits on your face, e.g. better radiancy, better complexion. This is also one of the cheaper moisturisers in the range. (~ £4).
Olay eye gel: This was also very good, very cooling. It has extract of cucumber and witch hazel. This is probably better used at night as I didn't find this very absorbing - so couldn't really use it during the day - even with using just little amounts, i found this not to be a good make-up base.
Olay general moisturiser (sensitive range): i actually used it by accident one day - I had run out of hand cream and my hands were screaming dry - so I grabbed this off my sister and it was brilliant. Usually with other handcreams, after I had washed my hands -they would go dry again, but with this stay remained very well moisturised even after several washes. Of course, i tried this on my face as well, but it just didn't work as well as it did with my hands.
Olay Total Effects Moisturiser: This was brilliant - it really changed the was I looked. My skin was firmer and smoother and my complexion was very well improved. This cream is slightly thicker than the other creams but it was easily and well absorbed. Unfortunately, at about £15 for only 50ml - so it doesn't last long. However, because it worked so well, I was willing to pay the price - but for some reason, second time round there weren't really any benefits, it didn't really do anything for my skin.....i don't know why. I haven't used it for three months now - so maybe I'll try it again when it's on special promotion.
Olay Cleanser: With this, i didn't really like at all. The smell just didn't feel right, it smelt a bit artificial and plastic and it irritated my skin - definitely a no for people with senstive skins. I don't class mine as sensitive but my face just stung after using it.....so please do be wary if you try it.
Olay cleansing facial wipes: These are the ones where you run it under water and massagefoam into your face. These smelt very nice and the novelty of it made me very curious. One side of the towel for exfoliating and another finer textured side for removing making and general cleansing. I had really high hopes for these, but they left my skin very dry, so, no again for these.
Olay is still one of my favourite brands, but it seems that only moisturisers are their thing. (and please remember to rate this review!Thanks)
