OlayTotal Effects Tone Correcting Face Moisturizer with Sunscreen SPF 15, Light to Medium 1.7 Ounces

Let's be real, ladies, keeping up with the Kardashians and Jennifer Anistons of the world is hard. Wrinkles, sunspots, the general existential dread of aging... it's a lot. But this moisturizer? This stuff is like a tiny superhero for my face. It's not going to turn back time (I haven't found that fountain yet, sorry), but it definitely makes me look like I've slept more than three hours and haven't stress-eaten an entire pizza (even though I totally have). The subtle tint evens out my skin tone like a magic eraser for my face, and the SPF 15 is just the cherry on top. It's lightweight, non-greasy, and doesn't smell like your grandma's potpourri (no offense, Grandma). Honestly, it's the perfect everyday moisturizer. My face feels happy, looks healthy, and I can finally leave the house without looking like I wrestled a raccoon. Highly recommend!

Have been using this everyday for years, and have never been disappointed. I don’t like heavy makeup base, this is just enough coverage for me, plus moisturizer and sun screen. Will continue to use it

When you open the bottle and start to use it, the first few pumps are kind of anemic - literally! Lighter than usual, a little oilier-feeling than usual. But I had read other reviews that insisted that after about 5-6 pumps, it got better, so I persisted. They were right! Within a week, the one-pump amount in my hand was the perfect shade and had a smooth, creamy texture.I pump some onto my palm and use a finger of my other hand to sort of mix it around before putting it on my face. I don't like applying it with a sponge, as some have suggested - I use my middle and ring fingers to spread it on. I rub it in gently, like I would moisturizer, rather than patting it on, like I would with foundation, and have been pleased with the results. If you follow it up with a heavier powder (like a mineral powder), it makes your skin looks flawless, but if you don't spread the Olay product around evenly, then the powder can look cakey. I've moved to a translucent powder, and that enhances the Olay cream's effects without looking too made-up.Okay, so it's pretty good as a foundation. It doesn't hide every spot or every line unless you really slather it on. BUT...in two weeks, my skin looked firmer and the tone looked more even (I have some hyperpigmentation across my cheeks and nose from various medication, and that gives me fits). Within six weeks, I started wishing I had taken "before" pictures so I could post "before" and "after" -- the hyperpigmentation has been reduced by about 50%, my pores are smaller, the fine lines that were threatening imminence are gone, even when I'm not wearing the product! I get compliments about my complexion now ("You look GREAT! Your face is so bright and smooth!"). Like I said, I had to change some of my other makeup to better complement the CC cream, but it's been worth it. I bought my first bottle in July and just ran out of it last week -- it doesn't take much; plus there are days I go without makeup now because I'm no longer self-conscious about my skin, so that makes it last longer, too.I've been a loyal Olay user since I was 30 (almost 15 years ago), and I credit regular use of their products and careful, limited sun exposure for my young-looking skin. People mentally group me in with the 25-to-34 age bracket and ask me what my secret is when they find out my real age. This CC cream is a great addition to my skin care regimen AND my makeup bag (I love being able to combine products!).

I like it but it’s very dark. This is the light to medium. I’m going to find the fair to light and mix them for a better color match. For reference, I usually wear a natural beige in almost all drugstore brands. I have Rosie undertones and light skin. The texture is not Dewey at all. It’s rather Matt.

Love the light feel - just like a moisturizer. But what I really love is using it generously on my crepey/baggy under eye area. It color corrects and moisturizers so well that I have the option to just use it on a low fuss day, but regular makeup sits really well on top. I’ve never tried the expensive color correctors for the eyes, but I have a feeling if you did a head to head test, this would be the same and a great value. Lots of reviews on orange tone and sadly this is true. My skin has warm undertones so it works just fine for me and great to color correct under the eye, but if you have that porcelain/winter skin this isn’t going to work for you.

Looks great on my skin. Feels great doesn't smudge everything.

When I first got this, I loved it. It felt very hydrating and had more coverage than I expected. However, after having it for about a month or 2, I went to use it and it had oxidized horribly. The color was way darker than it was originally and was extremely orange.

This is my go-to basic makeup. It acts as a skin softener while it sinks into my skin while it evens out skin color. It doesn't look like makeup is on my face but it provides protection and color palette kindness.
