Well isn't that a mouthful and a half! The Olay Total Effects Moisturiser + Serum Duo (€23.74) is a brand new products from the Olay Total Effects range. Now I have never actually tried any Olay products before. Not that I had any problems with them but it was just, surprisingly, a range I had never gotten around to. So when I was sent this lovely new product, I was curious to see how I would get on.
The Total Effects Moisturiser + Serum Duo is the most
concentrated formula that Olay have released to date combining the wonders of
serum into your everyday moisturiser. Now serums are only relatively new to me
and I have found they have been working wonders on my skin. The formula of the
Total Effects Moisturiser + Serum Duo was developed to help fight the 7 signs
of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles, skin firmness, tone and texture,
to name but a few. Now I can’t say I have noticed a drastic improvement in my
fine lines and wrinkles but I have definitely noticed an improvement in my skin
texture and firmness. I found my skin has been a little bit more tightened,
brightened and just generally most moisturised.
The Total Effects Moisturiser + Serum Duo has an SPF 20,
which is very important in protection your skin. Sun damage to your skin is one
of the number one causes of premature aging of the skin, not to mention skin
cancer. An SPF should be worn every day, regardless of the weather as it’s not
just directly sunlight that causes the damage. I usually get my SPF in my
moisturiser so I was happy to see a high SPF in this one. The cream itself is
very rich and thick; just one pump is loads for the whole face. However, once
applied to clean and dry skin it doesn't take that long for the skin to soak it
up. I found my skin has loved this product. It works as a brilliant base for my
foundation. So much so I have found myself skipping my primer, which is
something!
So overall I think Olay are onto a winner with this one. I
really noticed an improvement in my skin and I just really liked it. Now I am
just thinking what other Olay products have I been missing out on! If you have
any recommendations, let me know in the comments below.

They do fabulous cloth face masks! They are amazing. Even though you do look like a bit of a serial killer when they're on lol.
ReplyDeleteLol i do remember that picture alright!!
DeleteI haven't seen olay in years! I used to love their ads and their products always smell amazing. Gorgeous packing too.
ReplyDeleteI know.. It's one of them famous brands that you just don't always think about! I was pleasantly surprised by this one :)
DeleteI keep meaning to pick up a serum, but I'm afraid it'd be too rich for my skin so a duo might be perfect! x
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect all rounder for that kind of situation. Although it is quite rich too.
DeleteThis is great for dry skin!
ReplyDeleteWell mine is combination and it's still loving it! I imagine dry skin would love it though :)
DeleteYou know ive never tried anything from them before but this sounds great im not too sure about the whole 1 thing does everything products though
