Olay Age Protect Anti-Ageing UV Lotion

I ran out of my Olay Total Effects Cream so I decided to get another Olay moisturizer to try it out. I liked the Total Effects but it was the normal range and it was a little oily for me. They didn't have the one for oily skin so I got this instead and I trust in Olay skin care products so I'm not really hesitant to try it. This has 30 ml of product for P199. I also got another Olay Clarity Fresh Cleanser for Oily/Combination Skin since I finished the one I got 5 months ago. It's a very good cleanser and works wonders! It's the best cleanser I have used so far aside from my all time favorite L'oreal Pure Zone Cleanser which unfortunately has been discontinued.  

This face lotion claims to lighten the dark spots, visibly reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and improves skin tone. It has SPF15 which protects the skin from harmful UV rays. Olay promises a more radiant and younger looking skin in 4 weeks so we'll see about that :).

The consistency of the moisturizer is rather thick. It's very light and the skin absorbs it easily. What I like about it is it's not as oily as Total Effects so it's good for oily skin as it will not make the skin more oily. It also doesn't have a strong scent as Total Effects. It's the first time I'm trying this product so I can't say how good this moisturizer is in terms of skin renewal and anti-ageing yet. However, I notice that it does make my skin look more hydrated and refreshed with every use so it's good enough for me. 

My verdict: 3.5 STARS. I'll update this post after 2 weeks to share with you if there's any improvement on my skin. I'm hopeful that it will help reduce any dark spots from blemishes as Total Effects have.

Skin Care Product Review: Olay Total Effects Anti-Aging Cream

I've always wanted to use this moisturizer but I just got one for myself since I started using the Olay Cleanser. This is in a smaller pump bottle with 20g of product for the price of P254 from Watson's. It was on sale so I decided to take advantage of the promo. I'm glad that they have a cheaper and smaller version so I won't feel so bad if it doesn't work well for me.

The image above shows the ingredients of the moisturizer for those who are interested on trying this product and want to make sure it doesn't contain anything they are allergic to.

I am not very much impressed of this moisturizer because it makes my skin look a little more oily. I expected this to be my HG skin care product but it's not as amazing as I expected it to be after using it for a week. It takes awhile before my skin absorbs the product so I have to wait for awhile before I put on my makeup. I normally apply this in the evening and my skin is really soft when I wake up. I do notice that my skin has been smoother and looks more refreshed since I started using it. I like that my cheeks are rosier too (wink). My pores has been minimized since I started using Dickinson's Witch Hazel Pore Perfecting Toner 2 months ago ( I wrote a review on this product so do check it out if you are interested) so I cannot give all the credit to Olay. I don't notice any dramatic result on my fine lines yet but I understand that it takes awhile. Probably after another week. It also has a smell that is not very nice and  it doesn't matter as long as it works but I like it better if it's unscented. I think the one for oily skin will work for me but they don't it in have a smaller packaging. I don't want to be spending P699 for a moisturizer which I am unsure if will work for me or not. So far I like it but I expected more. I have tried Pond's Anti-Aging Cream before and it was way better. 

Overall this product works good but it's just greasy. I give it 3.5 STARS!!!   

Skin Care Product Review: Olay Clarity Fresh Cleanser for Oily/Combination Skin

I was in the grocery a week and a half ago and found this cleanser and it got me thinking, this would better for my oily skin. The price of this cleanser is P169.75 for 100g of product and I think it's a good deal. I have mentioned on my few posts that I have been breaking out on my chin area and I blamed the hormones but I was wrong LOL! I have tried stopping my toner for a few days and then my moisturizer for a few days too to isolate what's causing the non-stop breakout but they just kept coming one after the other. The only thing I didn't stop using was my Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. When I got this Olay Clarity Fresh Cleanser, immediately used it the breakout stopped which was a complete surprise! I have never had a problem with cetaphil until now. My skin isn't that oily but I guess it's not enough to cleanse my face of impurities. So now my skin looks a lot better! Breakout free and I am very, very glad. 

What I love about this cleanser is that you only need to use a very little amount to clean your face. It strips off all the dirt and oil and I only need to use a small amount of toner too every time. The consistency is not too thick. It's just a regular white cleanser with a distinct Olay scent. I am just grateful for this cleanser and I will continue using it. So far it has not caused me any blemish so I give it 5 STARS!!! Hopefully the breakout stops here because it's been causing me a lot of stress. 

I hope you find this review helpful. If you have questions please let me know. Take care! :D
