Olay Total Effects Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Olay Total Effects is made by the popular and well established company Oil of Olay. Olay Total Effects is one of the company's most recent creations that is targeted toward women that want to improve their appearance by reducing wrinkles. In this review we will try and use the provided information that is available to try and determine if Olay Total Effects could be an effective ant-wrinkle agent.

Product Details

The Oil of Olay company has listed on their website that Olay Total Effects targets 7 different areas of aging skin. The 7 areas that it is supposed to target is reducing wrinkles, re nourishment, enhancing the skin tones, exfoliating, refining pores, protecting against free radicals, and it helping to enhance the appearance of firmer skin. This is supposed to give the individual an appearance of younger skin that is protected from aging.

While the website gives a full listing of the ingredients in Olay Total Effects, we will just name a few of the key ingredients. These ingredients include Glycerin, Niacinamide, Dimethicone, Zinc Oxide, Camellia Oleiferaleaf Extract, Pro-Vitamin B-5, and Vitamin E. The function of the Glycerin is believed to have the ability to pull the moisture from the air while improving the ability for the product to spread on evenly. Niacinimide is a combination of Vitamin B3, Niacin, and Nicotonic Acid. There have been studies done that back up the theory that this product can help the skin retain moisture and boost the skin's circulation. It can also reduce wrinkles, age spots, provide elastin, and prevent redness. Dimethicone is a type of silicon that has been used to help reduce the severity of the appearance of scars, but we have not been able to find any hard evidence that supports this. Camellia Oleifera is believed to have potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic properties. Pro-Vitamin B-5 is said to help with the effects of acne scars and can help to reduce already existing acne.

The Good

  • The site offers free samples and coupons.
  • Well established company.
  • Does not contain oils.

The Bad

  • Olay Total Effects seems like more of a moisturizer than a wrinkle fighter.
  • Recommended to use within a regimen of many other Olay products in order to receive maximum results.
  • Does not contain peptides.

The Bottom Line

Oil of Olay has been around ever since most of us can remember, and it is usually thought of as an outstanding company. In the most recent years they have been producing new lines and products that are directly related to reversing the appearance of the aging process. It appears that most of their products are aimed mostly at middle aged women. Although this product appears to have a great potential, some of the ingredients are thought of to be controversial. Some believe that Glycerin can take moisture from the air and add it to your skin, while others think that if it can take the moisture from the air, then what is stopping it from taking the moisture from your skin? While they make claims that they use moisture as their essential power against wrinkles, it has been proven that there are other things other than moisture that are needed to effectively diminish the signs of wrinkles. Oil of Olay may need to work on adding more essential ingredients to its Olay Total Effects line in order to win more women over to their side.
