Today I am gonna review an anti-aging product for the first time :D It's one among the product of a well known famous brand, Olay. I got six 8g sample packs of Olay total effects 7-IN-1 anti aging cream before few months and using it every night. Don't know why, but I always wish to use anti aging products only at nights because it would work on my skin well and also I am a stupid girl who often cries when my mom scolds me for not having my breakfast everyday :P It is not needed for me at all to use an anti-aging product this much earlier :D I have 10 to 15 years more years but still I tried this product to give a review to my lovely readers :P Let me review it with it's pros and cons in this post.

My view about this product
The consistency of this cream is not too thick or runny, it has a light texture. The cream is milky light orange in color and what to say about the fragrance? Wow it's just too great. I don't know the reason, but I fell in love with it's pleasant smell from the very first time. It is my best smelling moisturizer ever.
I got this product in this year's summer and I tried it the very same day I got it. Even though I loved the smell, I felt that this cream is a bit sticky on my skin. I do have normal skin so it was little oily for me in summer and hence I kept this product in my draw to use this in winter :) I tried once again in winter and it suited best for my skin :D It is light, gets easily absorbed and nourishes my skin in winter without any stretchy feel or tightness. It also evened out my skin tone a bit and faded spots to an extent. This cream may suit normal skins in winter and dry skin in all the seasons, but for oily skins a great no-no :( It might make your skin sticky, and thus your skin may attract dust particles if you use it in daytime. The main thing I felt about this cream is, although it is quit good and moisturizing, it is really too pricey for 50 gm :( Few of my friends experienced breakouts after using this product. Okay let's go for the pros and cons.
PROS
- Very nourishing, moisturizes dry skin well in all seasons.
- Pleasant smell which gives fresh feel :)
- Reduces the appearance of acne scars and dark spots.
- Gives even skin tone with regular use.
- A best winter product for dry and normal skins.
- Olay is a trusted brand, and the quality is pretty good.
CONS
- When seeing it's price, I am forgetting all the pros :D Very pricey for this small quantity. I have seen more benefits from other cheaper products of cost than this one.
- Oily skins - Stay away! It might make your skin feel sticky. Not suitable for oily skins in any seasons.
- Gives breakouts for some people :(
My Rating : 3/5 (-1 for over priced and -1 for sticky feel in oily skins)
Will I buy this again : Not sure, I want to try some other products which are not sticky and with reasonable price.
