I've used this product 2x a day for 5 weeks, now. My skin feels so clean and soft after I wash my face. My face always had little bumps under the skin...zits just waiting to happen. I now have no bumps under my skin. I love this stuff, will continue to use it and recommend it to whoever asks.

Best Purchase Ever

I love this product. I was having major breakouts and started to get blemishes from squeezing the pimples on my face. I started using this product and now my blemishes are going away and my face feels so soft and smooth. I use this product twice a day. I would suggest this to anyone suffering from acne and blemishes.

Miracle in a bottle

Posted on08/01/11 07:19 PM
I've been using Murad and Proactiv for years. It cleared my skin up great but as a I reached my 30's I noticed more wrinkles. I have been using this product for about a week and already see a difference in fine lines. I broke out a bit, but nothing major and it's to be expected when switching products. I had to get used to a cream cleanser. I am so happy I found this product since I was seriously considering botox!! Now I don't have to!!

Best Find Ever!

Posted on06/28/11 07:21 AM
I have been a faithful user of ProActiv for 11 years. Two months ago, I ran out 3 weeks before my next shipment. I saw Olay Total Effects with Blemish Control and thought I'd try it. What a find! My skin looks and feels amazing. It cleans my skin better than the ProActiv. My skin has never been this clear before. It is amazing! I hope this product never gets discontinued. I've been using Olay products since I was a teenager and never tried this. I am so glad I did!!!

I love this cleanser. It keeps your skin free from blemishes, moisturizes, and diminishes your pores. It truly is a great product!

I'm absolutely in love with this stuff. I've tried literally every product on the shelves and nothing was working on my skin. I'm 20 and have been suffering with acne since I was 12. After 2 weeks of using this I've noticed a huge difference in how my skin looks and feels. There's less blemishes, it's glowing, it's just 100% improving. I'm never using anything else ever again.

I am 42 and have tried numerous skin care products for my acne prone skin. This cleanser along with the Total effects daily moisturizer (frag-free) has not only helped control my acne but also leaves my skin super soft. I have never been able to say that before! Thank you and please don't ever discontinue these 2 products : ).

100 STARS !

Posted on01/13/11 07:02 PM
i would have to rate this product as my #1. i was a lil skeptical at 1st, since i have very DRY skin, and its also SENSITIVE, but due to my stressful job i started to breakout like crazy. (i never did before). when i saw the ingridents in this cleanser I was like .. maybe not. but thn i was sold on the anti-aging part Since I also want to start taking care of my skin (im only 25) before its to late. I really LOVE this product so please please please would you PLEAsE make or create a new product with the same purpose (as a moisturizer for people like US) with blemish/redness/anti-aging/moisturizer. I will win the lottery if you guys did this!

Don't hestitate. BUY IT.

I've used proactiv for the past ten years, convinced that no other product could perform better. Boy, have I been wrong! I picked up this product recently on a whim, figuring I'd just use it until I could buy more proactiv, and I instantly fell in love. :) I'll never buy anything but this cleanser! It is so ideal! I'm at the age that I need to start considering an anti-aging routine...and I love that this one product can fulfill that need AND treat acne. I am like so many other reviewers concerning this cleanser -- PLEASE do not stop making it! Thanks to this one product, I am a convert..I am sold. My next purchase will be the Total Effects Daily Moisturizer.

Perfection!

Posted on11/10/10 01:15 PM
I was SO happy to see Olay FINALLY came out with a blemish control AND an anti-aging combination product. I have been frantically looking for a blemish control night creme (which I still have not found yet...hint, hint, Olay) and stumbled upon this cleanser. It is far more refreshing and less drying than my proactiv cleanser I have used for years. As I am increasing in age, I need all the wrinkle prevention help I can get, but I still require assistance with breakouts. This cleanser is awesome and I use it at night before I put on my Regenerist night creme. Now, let's work on a blemish control/anti-aging night creme and I may name my first born, Olay ;-)

I've been looking for something to help clear my skin and an anti-aging skin care. Well I finally found it and it's called Total Effects Cream Cleanser & Blemish Control. I can't live without it if I could I would sleep with it.(lol) It is a lifesaver I have sensitive skin so since this really works for me I will never try anything else. I have 4 children and I have them using it also. My oldest is 17 and my youngest is 11 and they all love it. I ran out to the store today just to get more I can't run out. I love it so much I have 7 in my pantry. Now that is loyalty and I just want to say thanks for making my life easier.

Best Cleanser Ever!!

Posted on09/06/10 07:47 AM
I was looking for a new cleanser since Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash was making my face too dry. I am 31 and liked using it because it helped my breakouts but did not like the drying effect it had on my face. I figured I would try the total-effect + blemish control because of the 7-in-1 anti-aging benefits. It has been the best $7 purchase ever. I love how soft your face feels after washing it and no drying effect. My face is so much clearer and youthful looking. I rave about it all the time. My mother always said "once you reach 30 start using wrinkle cream." Moms are always right!

please dont ever discontinue this!

Posted on09/01/10 08:41 AM
I cant believe how a face wash can work this well. actually i use 3 products together from the beginning so im not sure which one or if it is all but. they are all total effects. i use the blemish cream cleanser and the night firming cream and the uv protection lotion fragrance free. i love them all. my face is glowing. and seems to also get rid of spots and it looks so creamy. and the feel of it when you put it on! its amazing! and after i wash my face it feels so smooth and soft. most other face washes makes me feel like my face hurts. and when i smile i can feel the lines on my face because it is so dry. please please dont discontinue this! i tried this after regenerist, definity, and pro x came out. i know total effects was first. so im so afraid that you will just replace total effects. please dont. i have tried the regengerist lotion and its too strong the scent. anyway i cant even explain how happy i am with this product. even when im just sitting still i can feel my face! my face has never been more comfortable. olay is the best! thank you so much.

Never Happier

Posted on04/27/10 11:13 AM
Once I turned 30 I started to notice that I was showing signs of aging, that came way too quick for me... So I immediately went out and tried my first anti-aging cream, Olay Total Effects. The next time I needed some there was a sale of Buy one Olay product get one 1/2 off, so I figured "what the heck, I'll try the blemish control cleanser." Boy am I happy I did. This is the first product in my life that actually cleared my skin, maintains my tone and doesn't make me feel all dried out. I absolutely love this stuff. I actually told my 16 year old daughter that she should try it for her breakouts as well, and she has been excstatic that her face has finally cleared up and hey you're never too young to start the anti-aging process, right!?!?!? I really hope they don't discontinue this product, it will literally break my heart. I wish I had discovered this product sooner! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, especially to those women that have tried almost everything for their blemishes, including ProActive and visits to the dermatologist!

Posted on04/21/10 07:33 PM
I was skeptical about this product because some times i have a reaction with certain products. I was a biore user until i ran out and couldn't find it anywhere so my husband said you use olay moisturizer try this out.
So I picked it up at nearest drugstore so i tried and i would say within a week or 2 i noticed my skintone becoming more and more even, my lines were al ot smoother,I don't have a lot of lines but this did the trick. I hope they don't discontinue this!!
