I impatiently waited for my local chemist to stock the new Olay Total Effects Anti-Aging Eye Cream on the shelf. After being pleasantly surprised by the results of Olay Total Effects moisturiser on my face, I had high hopes about this particular eye cream. Yes, I had been burned and been very disappointed by the empty promises of Avon Anew Clinical Eye Lift but I thought, the Olay moisturiser didn’t turn me down so this one has to be better than Avon.
Total Effects Anti-Aging Eye Cream
Total Effects Anti-Aging Eye Cream makes the following promises –
1. Improves the dullness for a radiant glow
2. Lessens the appearance of dark circles
3. Visibly reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles
4. Helps minimise the appearance of puffiness
5. Evens out skin tone
6. Intensively hydrates the skin
7. Noticeably softens uneven texture
The directions of application tell you to thoroughly cleanse your face first, rub the cream between your forefinger and thumb to warm the cream for better absorption. You then dab the cream along the top of your cheekbone under your eye from the outer to the inner eye, patting it into the skin until it’s completely absorbed.
Unlike the other eye creams I’ve used, this one is skin-coloured and when I applied it to my eyes, it left a trail of glitter – but not enough to make me think I’d accidentally used an eyeshadow. After about half an hour, the glitter was gone. The cream was smooth and was easily absorbed into the skin. Anticipating great results, I took a Before and After picture of my eyes –

Three Months Later
VERDICT : No results. No improvement on the dullness, no lessening of the appearance of dark circles (maybe a teensy weensy little bit, but that could be the lighting), no minimizing of puffiness, and no reduction in the feathery lines at the base of my eyes. If anyone sees otherwise, let me know.
I’ll keep using this cream until I’ve used up all the bottle. If I see any results after that, I’ll post it. But as of now, very disappointing.
RATING : 1/5
