Hi all!
Hope all are enjoying with loads of makeup and cosmetics. Today I’m here with a review about a night cream. Night cream is a very essential product in our daily makeup routine. One may not see the difference immediately but it makes our skin healthy and soft with continuous usage. Let’s move to the review now.

Claims of the Night Cream:

Fights 7 signs of ageing while firming skin with a proven vitamin-rich anti-ageing complex for younger looking skin every morning.

  • Fights 7 signs of aging:
  • Reduces the appearance of fine line and wrinkles
  • Balances and evens out skin tone
  • Reduces appearance of age spots
  • Smoothes and evens out skin texture
  • Provides nourishing moisturisation
  • Gives skin a healthy radiance
  • Minimizes the appearance of pores

Price & Quantity: 

Rs.749 for 50 gm

Usage Instructions: 

Apply liberally to cleansed face and neck every night.

My Experience with Olay Total Effects Anti Aging Night Cream:

To start with, this is my 4th tub and that must convey that I love this product and I’m totally happy with it.

I use this every night after my cleansing and toning routine. On some days I apply Olay White Radiance Serum before using the night cream. I dot it on my face and neck and then massage gently in upward direction. The cream takes some time to get absorbed. It gives a moisturizing effect. I have used this in peak summers as well as in winters but haven’t faced any oiliness or dryness. It is just perfect. I wake up with a smooth soft skin in the morning.

Now coming to its claims, it does fulfill few of the points listed above. It evens out the skin texture, gives a smooth skin and imparts radiance but I cannot comment about the fine line and wrinkles part since I don’t have any of these concerns now. But I haven’t seen any drastic reduction in the pores. I have few open pores near the bridge of my nose and they are still visible. (If anyone has a solution for this pleases comment below. I will be very thankful.)

I have used many other night creams in between but I have always come back to this one since my skin loves this product.

It comes in a dark grey colored tub with an inner lid and a screw type lid outside. The lid is very sturdy so we need not worry about the spillage during travel. The tub is very strong so even if it falls down one need not bother. The only problem is that we have to dip-in our fingers to take the product out. I usually sanitize my hands before using this.

This night cream is white in color and very creamy. It feels slightly heavy so each time only less quantity is required to cover our face and neck. I just love its fragrance. It smells a bit strong initially but after application it softens. I like to take a whiff of it now and then.

PROS of Olay Anti Aging Night Cream:

  • Imparts radiance to the skin
  • Softens the skin
  • Evens out skin tone
  • Moisturizes the skin at night
  • Nice fragrance (personal liking)
  • Less is required every time so the tub will last for more than 3 months

CONS of Olay Anti Aging Night Cream:

  • Tub packing leads to hygiene concerns
  • Doesn’t reduce pore size

Makeup and Beauty Home Rating: 4/5 (reduced 1 point for not diminishing the pore size)


My Recommendation: 

I highly recommend this product. You will not be disappointed.

Would I Repurchase?: 

Definitely yes.

Today I am gonna review an anti-aging product for the first time :D It’s one among the product of a well known famous brand, Olay. I got six 8g sample packs of Olay total effects 7-IN-1 anti aging cream before few months and using it every night. Don’t know why, but I always wish to use anti aging products only at nights because it would work on my skin well and also I am a stupid girl who often cries when my mom scolds me for not having my breakfast everyday :P It is not needed for me at all to use an anti-aging product this much earlier :D I have 10 to 15 years more years but still I tried this product to give a review to my lovely readers :P Let me review it with it’s pros and cons in this post.

My view about this product
The consistency of this cream is not too thick or runny, it has a light texture. The cream is milky light orange in color and what to say about the fragrance? Wow it’s just too great. I don’t know the reason, but I fell in love with it’s pleasant smell from the very first time. It is my best smelling moisturizer ever.
I got this product in this year’s summer and I tried it the very same day I got it. Even though I loved the smell, I felt that this cream is a bit sticky on my skin. I do have normal skin so it was little oily for me in summer and hence I kept this product in my draw to use this in winter :) I tried once again in winter and it suited best for my skin :D It is light, gets easily absorbed and nourishes my skin in winter without any stretchy feel or tightness. It also evened out my skin tone a bit and faded spots to an extent. This cream may suit normal skins in winter and dry skin in all the seasons, but for oily skins a great no-no :( It might make your skin sticky, and thus your skin may attract dust particles if you use it in daytime. The main thing I felt about this cream is, although it is quit good and moisturizing, it is really too pricey for 50 gm :( Few of my friends experienced breakouts after using this product. Okay let’s go for the pros and cons.

PROS
  • Very nourishing, moisturizes dry skin well in all seasons.
  • Pleasant smell which gives fresh feel :)
  • Reduces the appearance of acne scars and dark spots.
  • Gives even skin tone with regular use.
  • A best winter product for dry and normal skins.
  • Olay is a trusted brand, and the quality is pretty good.
CONS
  • When seeing it’s price, I am forgetting all the pros :D Very pricey for this small quantity. I have seen more benefits from other cheaper products of cost than this one.
  • Oily skins – Stay away! It might make your skin feel sticky. Not suitable for oily skins in any seasons.
  • Gives breakouts for some people :(
My Rating : 3/5 (-1 for over priced and -1 for sticky feel in oily skins)

Will I buy this again : Not sure, I want to try some other products which are not sticky and with reasonable price.
