In my personal opinion I feel the basic and most essential criteria to judge a good anti ageing cream should be pertaining to its hydrating and moisturizing property. As we age we loose essential oils and our skin becomes dry .the dryness leads to most of the skin problems like fine lines, wrinkles ,pigmentation, dry patches etc !
Am 25 now and I absolutely believe this is the high time to start taking a bit extra care of my skin, which is combination to dry. I think we should invest in a proper night cream now according to our skin type. After all "prevention is better than cure "
I have used the Olay 7 in 1 cream in NORMAL last winter and loved it absolutely and for the last 4 months am using this varient in GENTLE. I mostly use it as a night cream, while my mom ( who has fine lines and pigmented patches uses it both as a day n night cream) In this reviews will share mine as well as my mom's opinion on this.
What Olay claims-
Olay total effects acts against 7 signs of ageing,
1. Line minimization: Reduces the appearance of fine wrinkles.
2. Nourishing moisturisation: for a radiant healthy glow.
3. Tone Enhancement: Balances colour and reduces appearance of age spots.
4. Gentle exfoliation: Smooths and evens out texture.
5. Pore refinement: Minimises the appearance of pores.
6. Free radical defense: helps prevent damage to skin’s surface.
7. Subtle lifting: Hydrates for firmer skin appearance.

What I liked about Olay total effects 7 in 1 Gentle anti ageing cream-
- Absolutely love the packaging with the pump dispenser, pumps just the amount you need. no wastage
- Has a very mild fragrance, which I liked (the NORMAL had a stronger fragrance)
- Moisturizes your skin really well and gets absorbed fast ( The NORMAL may be a bt heavy, but this is perfect)
- Makes skin soft and supple.
- The texture of the cream is perfect ! blends in easily.On rubbing onto skin it gives smooth satiny finish !
- Dark patches, pigmentation marks decreased to some extent on regular usage (on my mom)
- Decreased appearence of fresh wrinkles (on mom)
- Offers Spf 15 UVA/UVB protection (I found this out through their website)
- Did not cause any breakouts
- Easily available
What I didn't Like about Olay total effects 7 in 1 Gentle anti ageing cream-
- exfoliation claim? am not sure
- Did not help in reducing pores
- Not much effect on wrinkles already present (on mom)
- price is on the higher side
- Some people have complained of breakouts with this
- has parabens and other chemical ingredients
My Rating- 3.5/5
Final Verdict- It's a decent product and provides good moisturization to your skin along with reducing pigmentation patches. Has a spf 15 and protection agains t UVA/UVB rays. But if you are looking for something which would reduce wrinkles you already have, this might not be the right one. It may feel heavy for those with oily skin.And for the price this doesn't fall in the affordable range

ReplyDeleteliked the idea of urs using as a nyt cream
depends upon your skin type actually. my is combination to dry, so this one works well for me :)
DeleteI have used the samples of this but didn't really like it much :(
ReplyDeleteoh ! did it cause breakouts or was heavy?
Deletenah it didn't cause breakouts but was definitely heavy and left my face greasy :(
Deleteoh !
DeleteNice review, I have always wondered what to use serum or the cream.. now a days m using Olay serum and honestly after using the Lancome Youth Genefique sample I received from Blisscovered, it feels like a layer sitting on my face :( ...
ReplyDeletenever tried serums, thnx for sharing Shalini, will keep that in mind :)
DeleteI have read better reviews about ponds age miracle cream, you can try that! I am not yet 25 but will be by this year, I am planning to go for ayurvedic creams and facial oils for prevention of aging marks!
ReplyDeleteYes, i was thinking of mentioning about it in the post. My mom used Pond's age miracle before this, it was really good and smelled nice too :D :D
Deletegreat review, I have used it but not found useful.
ReplyDeleteYep, it fails in some accounts ! :(
Deletenice review.. i think after some time i should also use an anti aging cream.. me too will hit mid 20's after few months..:) maybe should try olay first and please do check my post sukanya.. i have nominated you..:)
ReplyDeleteYou can try olay/ ponds age miracle range ! will surely check :)
DeleteGreat review Suki :)
ReplyDeletethnx Lance :)
DeleteNice review Sukanya :), love your name :)
ReplyDeleteaww..Thnx Kumkum <3
DeleteSukanya, hi, i wasn't even aware they had a gentle and normal variant in these! the normal is very heavy for me too, probably it suits more mature skin. thanks for the info. :)
ReplyDeleteyep its a bit heavy but works for me in winters as my skin gets really dry then !
Deletei used the total effects cream in winters and found it to be adequate in its claims..but for summers, as you rightly pointed out, it is a bit heavy..im using olay total effects serum..and it is very good and for its price also decent!!
ReplyDeletei would recommend olay regenerist ..my mum tried it and liked it very much!!
http://sushmita-smile.blogspot.in/
regenerist ! Sounds good..i liked the advs :P :P
DeleteI tried this out when it was first launched in India couple of years back, but it didnt work out great for me I finally settled for Ponds age miracle- which my skin loved by the way.
ReplyDeleteyep my mom used Ponds before..she loved it :)
DeleteThis sounds like an ok product. I seriously thank you for the very honest review- it was extremely helpful!
ReplyDeleteAm glad you liked it :)
DeleteNice review.. I like olay creams a lot.. helps in hydration.. I think u r too young to start anti ageing creams.. :)
