Olay Total Effects Cream Cleanser Review

Hi again!

So I've been meaning to do this review for a while now but I've been super busy.


I was looking for a cleanser that would not only make my skin super soft but fight my oily skin and tendancy to get random blemishes also.

This cleansers full title is Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Anti-Aging Salicylic Acid Acne Cleanser or

Cream Cleanser + Blemish Control and it retails at Meijer for around $7.


Things I LOVE!

1) The scent! It's a really fresh and clean scent and it wakes me up but also relaxes me. It's just a nice smell.


2) The consistancy! The consistancy is really creamy (obviously) but it's not too thick or too thin. It's somewhere in the middle and I like that.


3) The exfoliating beads! Ok so I wasn't expecting there to be any sort of exfoliation in this product but to my surprise, there totally is! Now it's not like a sugar scrub or anything, but there are these teeny tiny beads that are great for sloughing off dead skin cells so I like that a lot.


4) The anti-aging properties! Now I just turned 20 in June of this year so I'm not super concerned with looking like I'm 14 (with the skin I used to have, no thanks!) but I do want to do a preemptive strike on wrinkles and saggies. While I can't tell you I've seen a whole lot of difference, I like the idea of a cleanser that not only fights blemishes but also aging.


Things I'm not crazy about

1) The price. I feel like Olay just jacks up the price on everything because they CAN.


2) In order to see a marked difference, you need to use the whole line. This can be $pricey$ so I'm not so fond of that little marketing ploy.


In a nutshell... I highly recommend this cleanser, it smells nice, it moisturizes, and it prevents blemishes. It's super, basically.
