Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Anti-aging Cream SPF15 ( Gentle )
Posted February 4, 2009
on:
I had used the old version of Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Anti-aging Cream in few years back, and I used it in autumn/winter of Australia and South Korea. The cream was nice to be used in the dry climate due to its nourishing consistency, so I thought it was good as well in low-humidity season in Thailand after my daily moisturizer Olay White Radiance was not enough moisture in year end.
Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Anti-aging Cream has normal and gentle versions where normal version is lightly tinted and fragranced, gentle version is not tinted and fragrance free. In fact, I was expecting the new version will be better in texture but it seemed having same texture as previous formula. Despite the ingredient is re-formulated, other than that, I have not notice any difference.
I like it is runny to spread, nourishing and moisturizing, but I don’t think it improves my skin texture visibly neither few years ago nor recently. I have used up at least two bottles of the cream in the past and recently one, it didn’t give the smooth touch or nature glow to make your skin look nicer temporary like high end moisturizer, instead this cream gave oily kind of shine, very down-to-earth?
As I have combination skin, my skin is not that oily in dry weather, hence it is enough for normal day use (Eg: humidity 46%) but not enough in very dry air-conditioning environment. However, I would not want to try this in humid weather again, other than oiliness is still oily.
Generally, this is ideal for normal to dry skin. I would not buy again as I dislike the blackhead that the cream gave yet my face didn’t very like the chemical sunscreen. Promotional price at 377 baht for 50g. It lasts me for 3 months with every morning use.

I am currently using olay total effect “Gentle” cream. I have an oily skin. After a fews hours my face turns to be oily. The olay sales girl from sunway piramid at watson suggested me to use gentle. Is there any other cream you would suggest. I started to use since 1st March 2011.
Thnk u very much on yr suggestion. I will look out for tht cream as stated. I have a very dark n deep laugh wrinkle n using 7 in 1 serum which cost at rm51 at guardian. It is helping me reduce. Do u hav any suggestion which help me to get ride of my wrinkle for good. Thnk u.
Hi Nithy,
Since the Olay 7-in-1 serum was helping you reduced the line, I suggest you just keep it. Retinol (pure Vitamin A) and AHA (fruit acids) are both known as effective wrinkle treatnment but they are also skin irritant and should use with care. Any topical skin care might only improve the line/wrinkle to certain extent but I don’t think it can eliminate wrinkle. My final say is, prevention is better than cure.
As mentioned earlier I am using Total Effect Gentle cream/Serum/Eye cream and Night cream. Cream cleaner and forming cleanser facial wash. A friend of mine suggested to use at least for 3 months before changing a different range of olay. I am indian, 41 and medium dark skin. Need advise. Thank you.

im using olay total effects 7-in 1 anti-aging cream(normal),everytime I apply it my face gets redden and have a feeling of burning sensation, does it mean that cream is not good for my skin?
Hi cheng,
Olay Total Effects cream is not supposed to give those uncomfortable sensation, obviously your skin is irritated by the product, please stop using it immediately. If your skin condition is getting better after stop using the Olay product, then you should not try to use it again. I have the same experience as you described with some products in the past, probably you have sensitive skin too.
hi,
I’m 21 years old and thinking to use olay total effects anti aging cream in general with SPF 15 but my skin is oily in summer and dry in winter though i don’t have any spot and scar in my face but sometime i face the normal problem of pimples…Is it fine to use this cream and i’m using moisturer of its too. What is the3 effects of it????
i have a question:my skin is very sensitive,oily and have pimples.My friend told me to try olay 7 in 1 gentle.Is it true good for my skin?plz advice me what to buy…
Hi gena bau,
My question is, did your friend has similar skin type as yours? Did she/he ever try Olay Total Effect?
Let me share my personal experience here.
If I recall correctly, I used the Olay Total Effect cream (no SPF) when Olay first introduced Olay TT especially it was raved by media heavily. Later Olay has came out the SPF version and I bought it again because I wanted some UV protection, at that time I have no idea about sunscreen at all. My skin is naturally sensitive and I didn’t pay much attention to the sign of irritation at the age, I mean I used makeup foundation almost everyday which covered my skin redness flawlessly, so I tend to be ignorant. If I have the cosmetic knowledge at the age, honestly I won’t buy the media hype.
I believe Olay has revamped their formula and relaunched the TT series few times since the first launching. When I tried the newest formula (also gentle formula with SPF) again this year which the product actually belonging to my SO, my skin became red and stingy in first day, no surprise since my skin reacted negatively to the chemical sunscreen ingredient Avobenzone (Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane) but I also found it wasn’t as greasy as I remembered in my early memory (may be my skin became less oily in these years). Therefore, I can’t tell for sure Olay TT is not suitable for oily pimple skin, but if you are interested in trying it, I suggest you avoid their SPF product, try the one without SPF.
hi, i am 23 years old. i have a problem with my skin. It’s oily and have a pimple. i used to use the cream from the doctor. But now,i wanna stop to avoid the dependence. My friend suggest me to choose Olay 7in1 Total Effect. and i bought the gentle with SPF 15 already. but i dont have enough brave is it suitable for my ages?is it suitable for my skin? please advise me. thx..
Hi Jeminah,
The Olay Total Effect series is absolutely fine for those from 20s to 30s. The Regenerist series is for mature skin. Since you already bought it, you can give it a try and see how it goes. I just realize Olay now has Total Effect moisturizer with cooling essence that suitable for oily skin but the moisturizer has no SPF. (“v)
i have used the olay total effect and also the the foaming cleanser. after 2 weeks, my face become pimply again. but the good news is isnt as big pimple as i used to have before. but obviously my forehead and my right cheek changes. in my forehead i have a small small pimples and in my cheek is reddish small pimple. surely as woman it affects my confident. please advise me, is it mean that this product not suit in me or just because the adaptation? should i change this olay or should i stay with it? thanks before..
Hi Jemimah,
Frankly speaking I’m not sure the cause of your pimples. It could be due to the Olay TE series or imbalance diet.
I just had gotten some small pimples on my forehead past few weeks due to my “heaty” internal health (TCM concept) but the pimples all cleared off in 2 days after I changed my diet for few days. I was using new skincare (quite moisturizing one) during the time and I also adjusted the new skincare routine trying to get rid pimples but got no much good result, that said old pimples subsided but new one kept popped out.
Therefore I suggest you 2 things. 1) examine your recent diet. 2)avoid using the Olay TE moisturizer on your forehead and see if your forehead breakout has any improvement. Theoritically the pimples will be gone very fast after you have tackled the right cause.(“v)
but is it possible that my face skin is in the adaptation of the product? Meantime, should i go buy and use another product or should i see back my dctor? or i just left my face without any moisturizer? thanks a lot. u are so helpful.
Hi Jemimah,
I can’t tell, to be honest.
I know certain skin care ingredients could have purging effect such as having small pimples but skin will be improving after the skin purging. However, some are real with science backup, some are just hearsay; from what I read from various sources, the purging normally happen to acne/problematic skin, hence I really doubt Olay TE has any purging effect. To have peace of mind, consult dermatologist would be best because they have technical device (if they have) that able to examine and analyse the real reason, either it’s purging or simply allergy.
If your bare skin can servive nicely in current weather in your country, then stop using Olay TE and see how. If skin condition is getting better within a week, then obviously Olay TE isn’t for you. If you really need a moisturizer, please don’t try to jump in a new product but go back to something you had used and know it worked because you never know the new product will work for your skin or not.

hi I’m tinh from Philippines. Can I use olay total effects 7 in one advanced daily moisturizer with cooling essence and olay total effects 7 in one day cream touch of foundation at the same time? I tried tony moly bb cream and then after a week i have a lot of pimples, so I wanna go back to 7 in one with touch of foundation for me not to apply any liquid foundation or bb cream any more. The sales lady in watsons advised me to use olay total effects 7 in one advanced daily moisturizer with cooling essence than olay touch of foundation. Is that okay to use the two at the same time? and What is the best olay cream for me ‘coz i have oily prone acne skin with visible pores that’s why i have lots of white heads in my T-line.

Hello, I am 20 years old. Just a few weeks ago, I checked Olay products recommended at olayforyou.com.

But the Olay Total Effects cream just make my skin become more oily shine looking. Need advice here. 😦

hi, i am using olay total effects 7 in 1 normal since 2 yrs it really works but recent i have used olay total effects 7 in 1 gentel .after using my skin gets more oily and look very dull. should i change the cream from gentel to normal
Good to know another failing product. I never tried OLAY, doubt its effects, though the slogan such as anti aging, total effect, looks sooo tempting. Glas I did not waste my money on this.

hello.. im just asking i am 20yrs old.. it is ok to use olay total effects gentle or normal?? because i want to be white and smooth:)
Hi ydram,
Yes, it is ok to use Total Effects. Gentle or Normal, it depends whether you like non-tinted & fragrance-free OR tinted & fragranced. However I know Olay has changed their formula periodically so I am not sure if the differences still apply to the current formula.
Nevertheless, please bear in mind, Total Effects is not meant for lightening, it is targeting anti-aging. (“v)
hallo mam
i am a housewife i am 30years my skin is combin and lot of skin problem my skin very dull pimples and lot of dark spots so mam please help me what i used me please replied me mam
Hi Sangeeta,
This is hard question to me. As I could not simply recommend any product here. Pimple, dullness, dark spots could be due to genetically inherited, or due to improper skin care or insufficient rest or excessive sun exposure and so on. I suggest you tackle the most crucial issue first — pimple or dark spots depend on your condition. (“V)
hi
its my third-fourth time with u. i like ur suggestion much.as per ur advise i stop olay and turn to loreal white perfect leaser. this cream is nice suit in my skin. just query does this cream works on tiny mole on face. i have many dot like size mole on face.
Hi Anu,
Thanks for your nice comment, you brightened up my day!
I don’t think the Loreal White Perfect Laser cream can work on tiny mole. Mass skin care products that sold at stores (especially from big MNC) will normally tested and safe for consumer, they are not strong/hazardous enough to remove moles.
Best to consult professional advice if you really want to get rid of the moles. For me, tiny moles looked fine, never a problem. (“v)

Hello esti,
Thank you for the comment.
Based on what I remember, OlayTotal Effect (TE) has SPF version and non-SPF version. Each version has tinted (normal, beige color, fragranced) and non-tinted (gentle, white color as shown in my post, non-fragranced). As you bought the gentle formula, so it should be white in color and non-fragranced.
If your moisturizer didn’t contain SPF (that indicated on product packaging) and you didn’t wear any sunscreen, then you aren’t protected from UVrays when you’re being in the sun. Limited casual sun exposure may not induce sunburn but the damage caused by UVs will be accumulated over the years and resulting sensitive skin, dryness, dark spot, wrinkle…etc, in short, causing you pre-mature aging. If you concern about skin care, I strongly suggest you wear something with SPF in day time. You can wear makeup with SPF or sunscreen over this Olay TE (or use it at night), otherwise, try to seek shade to protect from direct sunlight, especially noon time.
As far as I can remember, OlayTE is something like moisturizing lotion (like the texture in my picture), some people called it cream, but don’t get confuse about this. I see no difference the texture of both normal and gentle versions, apparently they just different in formula and color.
I hope I’ve answered your doubt. Please let me know if you need any further clarification. “V
