Olay Total Effects Anti Aging Night Cream Review

by Preethi

Hi all!
Hope all are enjoying with loads of makeup and cosmetics. Today I’m here with a review about a night cream. Night cream is a very essential product in our daily makeup routine. One may not see the difference immediately but it makes our skin healthy and soft with continuous usage. Let’s move to the review now.

Claims of the Night Cream:

Fights 7 signs of ageing while firming skin with a proven vitamin-rich anti-ageing complex for younger looking skin every morning.

Fights 7 signs of aging:
Reduces the appearance of fine line and wrinkles
Balances and evens out skin tone
Reduces appearance of age spots
Smoothes and evens out skin texture
Provides nourishing moisturisation
Gives skin a healthy radiance
Minimizes the appearance of pores

Price & Quantity:

Rs.749 for 50 gm

Usage Instructions:

Apply liberally to cleansed face and neck every night.

My Experience with Olay Total Effects Anti Aging Night Cream:

To start with, this is my 4th tub and that must convey that I love this product and I’m totally happy with it.

I use this every night after my cleansing and toning routine. On some days I apply Olay White Radiance Serum before using the night cream. I dot it on my face and neck and then massage gently in upward direction. The cream takes some time to get absorbed. It gives a moisturizing effect. I have used this in peak summers as well as in winters but haven’t faced any oiliness or dryness. It is just perfect. I wake up with a smooth soft skin in the morning.

Now coming to its claims, it does fulfill few of the points listed above. It evens out the skin texture, gives a smooth skin and imparts radiance but I cannot comment about the fine line and wrinkles part since I don’t have any of these concerns now. But I haven’t seen any drastic reduction in the pores. I have few open pores near the bridge of my nose and they are still visible. (If anyone has a solution for this pleases comment below. I will be very thankful.)

I have used many other night creams in between but I have always come back to this one since my skin loves this product.

It comes in a dark grey colored tub with an inner lid and a screw type lid outside. The lid is very sturdy so we need not worry about the spillage during travel. The tub is very strong so even if it falls down one need not bother. The only problem is that we have to dip-in our fingers to take the product out. I usually sanitize my hands before using this.

This night cream is white in color and very creamy. It feels slightly heavy so each time only less quantity is required to cover our face and neck. I just love its fragrance. It smells a bit strong initially but after application it softens. I like to take a whiff of it now and then.

PROS of Olay Anti Aging Night Cream:

Imparts radiance to the skin
Softens the skin
Evens out skin tone
Moisturizes the skin at night
Nice fragrance (personal liking)
Less is required every time so the tub will last for more than 3 months

CONS of Olay Anti Aging Night Cream:

Tub packing leads to hygiene concerns
Doesn’t reduce pore size

Makeup and Beauty Home Rating: 4/5 (reduced 1 point for not diminishing the pore size)

My Recommendation:

I highly recommend this product. You will not be disappointed.

Would I Repurchase?:

Definitely yes.

Lakme Complexion Care CC Cream ~ Photos and Details

7 Replies

Hello Everyone!
So after all the raving BB cream launches in India, Lakme has taken it to the next step. They have come up with their new CC cream! Yes you read it right. i.e Complexion Care Cream. Interesting isn’t it? I have previously made a post on CC creams and their properties; and if you read that you will be knowing that this Lakme CC cream launch is really a good news for me. Not only for me, its a great news for all oily skin typed girls out there (Who always find BB creams heavy and greasy on their skin!)

This Lakme CC cream is priced at Rs.250 for 30 ml. (Quite affordable for the quantity isn’t it?)

So girls.. Are you going to give this BB cream a try?

Johnson’s Baby Lotion Review, Swatches and Photos

My Take on Johnson’s Baby Lotion:

This baby lotion comes in a simple baby pink colored plastic bottle with a sturdy flip type cap. You can also screw open the cap to get the product out. The packaging makes the lotion easy to use, travel friendly and handy.

The lotion is light pink in color (like that of strawberry ice cream) and has a moderately thin consistency. On application, it spreads smoothly onto the skin and gives that nice cooling effect. The fragrance is of course the typical Johnson’s baby one – very mild, pleasant and baby-sh.

Once I apply this lotion to my face, it calms down all the dry patches, roughness and leaves skin smooth and moisturized. As it is light, it might suit many skin types. I have a normal-oily skin and hence I don’t use it as my day cream. If used on oily skin, it leaves skin greasy after 2-3 hours.

But when I used this as my night cream, my skin left extremely smooth and baby soft in the morning. It did not cause any breakout or allergies as it’s a product meant for sensitive skin of babies. Overall, this is a very good buy for the affordable price. Though I don’t use this baby lotion everyday, I want this in my stash to feel like a baby 😛 I will always get it only for the heavenly fragrance.

PROS of Johnson’s Baby Lotion:

Inexpensive
Good packaging
Handy and travel friendly
Instantly cures dry patches
Very light, but yet moisturizing
Perfect moisturizer for dry skin types
Normal skin types will love it as a night cream
With regular usage, it keeps skin dryness at bay
Available everywhere! Really!
A small 50 ml bottle lasts for months
Can also be used as a light body lotion to smell like a baby
Very mild and skin
Can be used as a makeup remover
Has multiple benefits

CONS of Johnson’s Baby Lotion:

Not suitable for extra dry skin types in winters
If you are not fond of baby product fragrances, then it is not for you.
Contains mineral oil

MABH Rating: 4/5

Do I Recommend?:

I highly recommend this pink baby lotion to everyone who love baby product fragrances. If you are a mommy who is looking out for mild lotions for your baby, then might like it. But make sure your baby is not allergic to the fragrance as I feel Johnson’s baby fragrances are bit overpowering for the babies. If you have normal-dry skin, you will absolutely love it! If you have normal-oily skin type, then try it in winter as your night cream. Extra dry skin types will need reapplication twice-thrice a day.

Would I Repurchase?:

Yes! I will. I don’t think I will be finishing my 50 ml bottle for the next few months. But once it gets over, I will surely repurchase it. I also have the white (milk) variant but I find this pink bottle more pleasing in terms of fragrance compared to that.
