With this Olay eye cream cream review today, I come to the end of my review of the entire Total Effects 7 in One range I got to try out and had such a lovely experience getting to review and share them with you all. I purposely kept this cream for the end as eye creams need a lot of observation and time before being able to pass any verdict! I have been using this anti ageing eye cream from around 5 weeks and here is my take on it.
Olay Claims: Total Effects Eye Cream treats the appearance of signs of ageing around the eyes dark circles, crow’s feet and lines. Its formula combines moisture with a complex of vitamins, minerals, cooling cucumber extract and soothing aloe vera for visibly younger-looking skin above and around the eyes. Olay Total Effects helps fight the 7 signs of skin ageing to give you visibly younger looking skin
My Review:
Unlike many eye creams which come in heavy/bulky glass jars, this Olay cream is a total cutie! It comes in a sturdy cute round pot with a screw-on black lid which is unhygienic of course, but very easy to carry around and lightweight.
The anti ageing eye cream is very emollient in texture, has a lot of slip (not necessarily a good thing!) and even a teeny amount spreads easily and smoothly over my entire eye area leaving it really smooth and nice. I love applying eye makeup after 10 minutes of application- it makes it a cakewalk!
The total effects eye cream has a peachy color, apparently a pigment to cancel out the darkness in the under eye area and I find that to be slightly true I guess..my eyes do look a tad less tired.
Coming to its claims, I have been applying the olay cream twice daily for several weeks and as such have seen no difference in my dark circles or fine lines which is kind of like my main target when I use an eye cream no? But then, my eye area was really well hydrated and smooth and brighter and that makes sense in making it quite a good eye cream as good hydration will prevent further fine lines. I think this 7 in One eye cream is certainly anti-ageing- more of a prevention cream than a remedial one.
It did not irritate my eyes in any way or cause any unpleasant allergies or sensations so that’s good.

Do I recommend? If you are in your early twenties and have no serious eye issues except just wanting a good eye cream, this might be it. Will hydrate and smoothen, feel really nice and relaxing, might prevent fine lines from appearing. But if you are well past that and have dark circle issues, this cream is not going to help much am afraid. It does brighten up the eye area somewhat but fails to repair earlier damage so there you go!

Actually this one was my favorite under eye cream. Currently using bobbi brown but don't mind going back to this . Very well reviewed
but it wont work on heavy dark circles. so buying this is no brainer..somehow olay doesnot suit my skin type.
Very well review Agnirupa! Seems like a nice product for me :)
Wont work on dark circles!! Not for mee!!
I got one small size for myself for trial purposes, haven't opened yet, will try sometime.. Nice review :)
Never tried this brand :P this also looks average though... btw loved the clicks :) <3
I wish this worked better! Thanks for the review
Wish this one worked better. Nicely reviewed :)
Your review said it's Nice product but it won't work even after spending around 800 bucks. Buying it will not be a good decision.
INR 749/- for a eye cream that doesn't work on dark circles??
I am skipping it for sure !!
