Olay Complete Care Touch of Foundation

Advantages: SPF 15; doesn't feel at all heavy; doesn't irritate skin
Disadvantages: Expensive, unpleasant scent, doesn't blend or moisturise well; makes face shiny

...This summer I was looking for a tinted moisturiser, because it seemed better to wear a tinted moisturiser during hot weather rather than a standard moisturiser and slightly heavy foundation. It's more comfortable to do so, and lets your freckles shine through a bit, which I find are naturally more apparent in summer. I was looking for a tinted moisturiser with a nicer texture than the ones I remembered from being a teenager, and with reasonably good coverage as some of my veins can be seen through my skin, which is a little bit unattractive, perhaps! I also wanted an SPF of 15 or so to protect my skin from the sun. I had seen a television advert for Olay Complete Care Touch of Foundation which depicted a woman applying the product on a train without even looking in a mirror. This gave the impression that the product would naturally...

Review of Olay Complete Care Touch of Foundation

Complete facial care

Advantages: Easily absorbed, very effective
Disadvantages: None

...Oil of Olay Complete Care Moisturising Fluid I used to buy a pot of Boots' natural collection moisturiser for about £2. This would last me ages, mainly because I used to just put it on certain dry areas of my face. They discontinued this particular product so I had to look around for something to replace it. I tried a few, keeping it cheap mostly, but they either irritated my skin, or were greasy. Then I had a try of the Oil of Olay (or Ulay as it was then) range. First I bought a cream, in a little glass tub (can't remember the exact name), it smelled nice, and worked - it moisturised - but it was too thick, it wasn't absorbed quickly enough. The assistant in Boots told me it was for older, dryer skins. So then I tried Complete Care Moisturising Fluid. Around this time I also started applying moisturiser all over my face, not...

Olay Complete Care

Advantages: Moisturizes without being heavy or greasy
Disadvantages: Its slightly fragranced so it may irritate more sensitive skins

...i need to drastically change my routine before i caused irreperable damage and spent hours trawling the internet for advice. It turns out that the best products to use are ones that are non-comedogenic. This means that they wont block your pores. This is where Olay comes in. Now im not saying that Olay cleared my spots- i used Dermalogica for that. But what it did do was repair the over-dried and highly sensitized skin that had developed on my checks, temples and around my mouth from using the harsher products to begin with. The equivalent moisturizer in the Dermalogica range unfortunately did nothing to repair the damage caused from before. However, within 1 WEEK my skin, (which is now spot free!) is finally back to normal- no more dry patches! Better still, Olay Complete Care also has SPF 15 for round the clock protection. Its...

Review of Olay Complete Care Daily UV Flid for normal/oily/combination skin

Olay Complete Care (night enriched cream)

Advantages: Healthy looking skin
Disadvantages: it takes two weeks to notice a diffence not 5 days

...I started using Olay Complete Care about 4 weeks ago and my skin has never looked healthier.....I have a natural glow during the day and dont wear any foundation except a little bit of powder to get rid of any shine. The night enriched cream says that it is everything your skin needs to look noticeably healthy and if I am completely honest my skin does. The product contains nourishing olay moisture, antioxidants vitamin E and is vitamin B3 and pro-vitamin B5. Moistuirses - it is a non-greasy formula that locks in moisture overnight, this helps to replace all the moisture that your skin loses during the day. Stenghthens - the products work during the night to enchance the skins natural moisture to minimise this loss during the day. Vitamin Enriched - Vitam B5, B3 and E helps to re-texturise your skin and promotes...

Review of Oil of Olay Complete Care Night Cream

Olay Complete Care Day Cream

Advantages: Effective moisturiser, provides broad spectrum sun protection, good value for money.
Disadvantages: Gave me spots.

...Olay Complete Care Day Cream comes in a jar which contains 50ml of the moisturiser. The jar makes it very easy to get the amount of product that you want out, as you can just scoop it out with a finger. However, this does mean that it is easier to contaminate the contents with bacteria. A jar is the ideal packaging for this product though, because it is a cream, and too thick in texture for a bottle. The texture of the white cream is quite thick, but it smoothes over my skin quite easily, without much dragging. It absorbs in quite a short time, and feels very comfortable on my face and neck. It provides an ideal amount of moisture for my normal-dry skin (it is especially nice for the winter months, due to the thick texture), and makes my skin appear to glow slightly. Make-up goes on well afterwards, and the fragrance is nice and light...

Olay Complete Everyday Sunshine for face, Perfect!

Advantages: Nice even glow, with spf15 and can wear make-up on top!
Disadvantages: Orange fingernails.

...and silky and is not greasy when applied to the skin. I feel that it rubs in easily and the best thing about it is that you are able to apply make-up on top. Most tanning moisturisers do not recommend this and therefore I was reluctant to try them as it was not until a week or so after using the product that I started to notice a tan and therefore was uncomfortable not wearing foundation till then. The packaging is small, and the product is decently priced. Around £7 for a 50ml tube. It can fit in your handbag easily, and so can be taken with you anywhere for when you feel you need to freshen up your face. I have heard that people have had a few problems in regards to orangy hairlines. This has not been a problem for me. I only use a small amount, about the size of half a teaspoon, and work it into the main areas of my face, carefully...

Review of Oil of Olay Complete Care Cleansing Milk

HOW TO GET COMPLETELY FREE EXPENSIVE SKINCARE PRODUCTS

Advantages: Costs nothing
Disadvantages: None

...We are all in a recession, trying to tighten our belts and spend less, meanwhile we are desperately seeking to maintain good skincare without spending a fortune ! This is the ONLY way I know of obtaining completely free, luxury skincare to ´tide you over´or to try before you splash out a fortune on the full size products. I discovered this secret in the 80´s, and whenever I am short of cash, I am unashamed to say that I still use this method. From the retailers point of view, it costs them nothing and has on two occassions ended in me buying the full sizes as I was so impressed with the samples. If you go to any of the large department stores, i.e. Debenhams, Boots, House of Fraser in the U.K. a lot of the prestige brands i.e. YSL, Chanel, Lancome, Juvena etc., - the list is endless. Try some of the testers, enquire about...

...WHAT IS OIL OF OLAY COMPLETE CARE MOISTURISING FLUID? Oil of Olay Complete Care Moisturising Fluid (or Olay Complete as it's known here in Canada) is a facial moisturiser meant to be used during the day. It contains SPF 15 and UVA/UVB protection. WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? Olay Complete is an opaque white colour, and very runny and thin in texture, almost like an egg yolk (though not quite as slippery) WHAT DOES IT SMELL LIKE? This product smells like baby powder and flowers! I really like it. There is also a fragrance-free/sensitive skin version availiable. It tastes like pennies -- due to the fact this contains Zinc Oxide (to protect against the sun) HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? The SPF 15 variety of this product costs 10.99 (CAD) and 5.99 (GBP). WHERE CAN IT BE FOUND? Olay Complete can be found at chemists and superstores...
