Olay Total Effects 7 in One Day Cream

Chemical burn – I wish I could give this 0 stars. I think this product gave me chemical burn. I couldn't see for hours and I had to pull over while driving. My skin is so dry after this and my eyes and red and hurt so bad. This is terrible! I don't know how this is still on the shelves. Show details

Old faithful – I really like this moisturising cream. I have tried others but always seem to go back to it. Right texture, light subtle smell and leaves my skin feeling bright. Show details

Absolutely love the Touch of Foundation version – I’m not that keen on the standard version but the touch of foundation is absolutely wonderful. It gives a really natural tint and I assume it’s the B vitamins that improve skin clarity beautifully. I highly recommend it as the best tint moisturiser Show details

Soooo damn good!! – my favourite by far! this cream has changed my daily routine to wear it every morning knowing it has enough spf to protect my face and is light enough to wear under my makeup. Show details

When my wife uses, she is always ichy I can not stand it any more – When my wife uses 3 products total effects, hyaluronic super serum and night cream anti wrinkle, she complains to me how ichy It makes her and not stand it any more she says it is good for her,. she has been convinced by this cosmetic company you need to go through pain to be beautiful. this outrageous. trying to contact thier costomer service is impossibletoo Show details

Swollen face – After the first application I developed an allergic reaction to it. Face became swollen especially around eyes. There were red patches and itchiness. Bought the product from Amazon. Wonder if it is original. Show details

Terrible Reaction – After Using Olay Total Effects 7 in One on my face, my skin started peeling off and now a rough patchy skin has replaced my smooth normal skin. Show details

Unfortunately, not the same as the original formulation which I really miss! – Here's the low down: 'Olay Total Effects' provides adequate moisturisation. However, the newer formulations (since at least after mid 2000s) is by far not as satisfactory as the original formulation which was first introduced in the 1990s. The original formula was velvet soft and creamy, provided a sheer/agreeable opaque veil, was effectively… Read more

moisturising (water versus oil ratio was well balanced and not at all oily), had an agreeable gentle scent, was non-irritating and quite calming for my skin. I loved using the product back then and noticed significant improvements to my skin. I have heard the same story from other people I know (including my mother) who have also noticed the drastic change between the original formula and the modern ones.

Then . . . . .

The modern version(s) of the cream were sneakily introduced, where it was claimed that their formula was somewhat 'improved'. These new formulas are not velvety soft, but more runnier and less creamy. There is no veil effect and it becomes quite irritating for my skin over the days while I use it, although I have a strong skin barrier. So, I question why has such a previously great formula been down-graded to such a degree. Are cheaper ingredients being used? The Beauty Scientists busily working in the Olay/Proctor & Gamble Laboratories are obviously not on point and need to once again make Olay Total Effects cream a game changer.

Unfortunately, I am no longer a keen fan of this cream. When the cream is re-formulated and is on par with the original, then I may re-consider using such a product again. I do come back to this cream occasionally, but I get put off yet once again.

Tried others but at this price can’t beat it – I can’t afford anything super expensive but I won’t use anything that isn’t worth the money either- this is the only moisturiser I have found (always buy on sale) that actually makes a difference- if I use anything else it’s visibly different- never as good- always buy this but I don’t use the spf version… Show details

Very disappointed – I have been using this product for more than 30 years. A few months back Coles had the product on sale so I purchased a few. The first container was okay but then my eyelids developed a type of dermatitis. They are very sore and itchy. The cream also had a slightly different smell to previous Olay Total Effects cream. I have not put the cream… Read more

near my eyes since but am still using it on other parts of my face. My eye area is now very wrinkled which is the exact opposite reason for using Olay. Have you changed the ingredients in your product, is Coles buying Black Market Clones????? What has happened to Olay Total Effects? I have an appointment with a skin specialist next week.

Extreme skin reaction – I applied this product in the morning and by evening I started to feel a reaction. The following morning my neck and forehead began to itch. Started on antihistamines straight away taking twice a day. 2 days later it’s even worse, with raised lumps with white puss filled heads. I have applied hydrocortisone cream to it but this is not helping one bit. Very frustrating Show details

Test on skin first - very bad reaction – I used this product in 2020 and had great results. Ran out and stopped using it for a few months. Bought it again 1 week ago and used it twice. Both times burned when i put it on and created dry patches on my face. Now 3 days later my face is burning itchy swollen and red. Please test this product on small area before applying it. I personally do not recommend, I am in a lot of pain  Show details
