Fun and Fitness Mondays: Tried and Tested: Olay Total Effects Gentle Day Cream, SPF 15

Texture: Creamy

Scent: Pleasant, not too strong

Verdict: Skin on the face feels well-moisturised. The cream is not super greasy but could still do better with reducing the grease quotient further. Ideally it is supposed to be used twice a day but I would only use it at night and not during the day, as it makes the face look a bit oily. The fragrance is pleasant and skin feels supple. 

This product claims to be proven effective in fighting the 7 signs of ageing—fine lines and wrinkles, rough texture, prominent pores and age spots, uneven skin tone, surface dullness and dryness. I don't think the product can do all this in a span of two weeks, and it seems a bit far fetched. However, I do have some faith in the product and would say wait for a period of one month to see a difference in your skin. 

As for the price, Rs 749 for a tiny 50-gm bottle might seem steep at the time of purchase. However, as you need to use a quite a small quantity, it lasts for longer than you'd expect.

Price: Rs 749 (50 gm)
