Very disappointed
Posted on03/19/13 09:27 AM
I used to use the anti-aging fragrence free moisturizer with sunscreen and I loved it. I saw it at Wal-Mart a few days ago, so I scooped it up.
Right before I used it, I happened to notice the active ingredients, and all three were listed as, "sunscreen" so I read the directions and they say to put it on x minutes before going out into the sun, and to re-apply every two hours.
I fail to see why this is marketed and sold as "moisturizer with vitamins, anti-oxidants, and sunscreen" when all it is is expensive sunscreen. I'm very disappointed, and will be returning this product.

Disappointed
Posted on03/02/13 10:54 AM
I used to buy the regula scented Total Effects face cream that was sold at Costco. I was in love with that cream, but unfortunately they stopped selling it. I bought the un-scented at my local drug store and really hate it! It makes my face feel greasy and I feel like it just sits on my face and doesn't get absorbed. My face also feels rough. I'm wondering if the scented and un-scented are made with a different formula? I purchased Total Effects with sunscreen as well and didn't like that too much either. I'm going to purchase the regular formula and hope that it's what I'm looking for!

I settled on this product because no stores in my city carry the original Olay moisturizer (sensitive formula). I saw this on sale at Target - was a bit hesitant to get it - but I am happy I bought it. I am guy with sensitive, extremely oily skin. Hands down, this is the best moisturizer I've tried. I've bought many high end facial products for me, and none of them work. I never believe reviews when people say they see immediate results, but I saw and felt results after the first use. I can't wait to see what the results are by the time I finish the bottle. I pray this never gets discontinued.

Best product but please no sunscreen
Posted on02/03/13 09:53 AM
I have been using this product for years, skin feels great no matter the weather or time of day.
As I did not realized, I changed to the same product with the sunscreen added, it felt and smelled different, I did not get that lovely feeling when putting it on when my skin would feel so grateful! ,I thought maybe it was expired and later I had an allergic reaction,mostly around the eyes all dry and itchy. I bought 2 more bottles and the same thing ,now I know and I keep looking for the old type without the sunscreen, Why don't you make it in the bigger size? you used to. it is so much more cost effective and convenient and please don't stop making it whiteout the sunscreen!

Wonderful product
Posted on01/03/13 02:55 PM
I love this product. It provides immediate results. It doesn't smell or leave my skin oily. It is fantastic! I am so glad that I found it! My mother used it for years and recommended it to me. I have sensitive skin and this doesn't seem to bother it.
Thank you Oil of Olay, I don't know what I'd do without this lotion.

Thank you!! Finally!!!
Posted on11/05/12 07:09 PM
I have struggled for years with VERY oily skin that is HIGHLY prone to acne breakouts!! I was very shy about using a moisturizer up until this point, because every one I used broke my face out!!! After just turning 36, I noticed my lack luster appearance, large pores and 3 lines across my forehead! I have used this product for 4 days and I can completely tell a difference! My face has not broke out, my pores are smaller, my old acne scars have faded and best of all, the 3 lines are gone from my forehead! My skin feels soft but not greasy!!! I cannot thank you enough for this product!!!

Excellent choice for hypersensitive skin types
Posted on08/07/12 02:54 AM
I have dealt with hypersensitive skin for 30 years. The Total Effects fragrance/color free moisturizer is my all-time favorite after trying dozens of product lines over the years. I have noticed a dramatic difference in smoother skin tone after using it every day for three weeks. No burning or sticky feeling on face after applying moisturizer. My skin is clear, without redness. I would recommend this product for men as well. TIP: only use one product at a time for at least two weeks if skin is hypersensitive. That way you'll know what works best with your skin type.

I love this daily mositurizer but when I push the pump it keeps coming out for a bit and makes a mess. The pump seems strange, did I get a defect?

I like this product with no SPF
Posted on01/04/12 08:15 PM
I have been using this fragrance free lotion without SPF for over a month and it has been good to my skin! I like it and will continue to buy it as long as there is no SPF in it as I use this only when I don't go out. It supplies the moisture I need after washing my face in a.m. and it is not greasy. I use your other fragrance free lotion with SPF when I go out. This one makes my skin feel soft and even dot it under my eyes and my neck and it's good! It does not do a whole lot for my fine lines but it feels good on my skin. Please, keep making this.

Bring back the SPF please!!!
Posted on06/21/11 07:52 PM
I am not sure why you took the SPF out but please, please, please bring it back! This was your best product and now I have to find another brand because you took it away. It always sold like hotcakes off the shelves so I can't for the life of me understand why you got rid of it.

Where's the SPF?
Posted on03/31/11 08:28 AM
I have used the fragrance-free SPF 15 version of this moisturizer for years, and now it's not available. I have very fair skin, so SPF is a must, but I don't like fragrance (on my face) either. I hope it's being repackaged or reformulated and that it will be back. I'm going to try Neutrogena's moisturizer with SPF 30, but it's not fragrance free :( Please bring fragrance-free SPF 15 back! Better yet, make it SPF 30 or more.

WORST purchase ever
Posted on03/10/11 11:51 AM
I recently purchased T.E SPF 15 fragrance-free moisturizer and it was TERRIBLE. A few minutes after applying it it felt like I had put cooking oil on my face. This lotion is way to oily and I wish I hadn't wasted $20 on it. Now I'm kind of reluctant to try any other moisturizers by Olay.

Light, Fresh & Effective!

This lotion is great as a night cream, as it lacks sunscreen protection. It applies easily and does not leave the skin feeling heavy, nor greasy. I actually prefer this lotion over the Regenerist line of products - Less money too!

Great Stuff!
Posted on10/05/10 08:41 AM
I'm a guy and have tried many expensive male skincare products. I'd paid over $65 for facial moisturizers and over $75 for dark circles/puffy under eye creams. The thing I love about this product is it does all of the work of those two combined for less than half the price. I've noticed even skin tones, the dark circles are definitely reduced and no puffiness.

Still unsure...
Posted on04/23/10 05:56 PM
I have never used Olay before so I decided to give it a try after my other regimens haven't improved the look of my skin. I have started using this product over a month ago, but still do not see a big difference in my skin tone. My pores did seem to get smaller, but I still breakout, although now instead of having large pimples, they're smaller. The tone of my skin has not evened out. I will continue to use this product until it runs out and see if it improves the look of my skin... maybe for me, it just takes a while to work.

Ok at first but after a week
Posted on03/08/10 09:59 PM
This moisturizer was recommended to me and whenI first used it, it was good but, after a week it was just too heavy for my skin. I have very oily acne prone skin and this felt caked on my skin and caused me to breakout.

We’ve extensively tested Olay Total Effects for safety so I’m surprised to hear it caused your face to breakout. We’d like to gather additional information for our Health & Safety Team. Please call us at 1-800-395-0737. Thanks!

An absolute favorite!
Posted on03/07/10 09:38 AM
This is one of my favorite Olay products. It provides excellent hydration, and brightens my skin tone. I use it every day, morning and night. I also use it in combination with OLAY's age defying anti-wrinkle daily SPF 15 lotion, and both products work well together.
