Olay Total Effects Eye Transforming Cream

Olay has been a firm favourite and staple of many skincare regimes for decades. It was one of the first products of my mom's that I pinched when I was old enough to be fascinated with beauty products. Over the years, it has morphed into a sleek and sophisticated range of treatment products, accessibly-priced and still true to its heritage. Olay Total Effects Eye Transforming Cream is formulated with a blend of 7 vitamins and minerals, including cucumber extract, aloe vera and VitaNiacin, which helps to repair skin's moisture barrier and maintain skin's even tone, and is almost completely unscented, which I like. Just a hint of cooling cucumber... Apply with ring fingers in light patting movements around the eye. Priced at R149, this is an affordable introduction to eye care if you're not currently using any, and a good option for those on a bit of a budget who still want a great product.

Not Transforming Enough For me.I bought this eye cream solely because of what I had read on the package insert . I have never before used any Olay products but was tempted to try this out. I was disappointed as it did nothing to firm up my eye area however I noticed that the dark circle I had developed were getting lighter with gradual use of this product. The skin under my eye is looking younger and fresh. I would have loved to see a bit of firming action as well but sadly it didn't deliver. All in all I'd still purchase this again as a solution for dark circles.

I am an eye-cream junkie and have tried many over the years, and I really like this one. I like the tint (a bit like concealer to even out skin tone) and the iridescence (to add luminosity and counteract dark circles) although some users won't like this due to the potential of both colour and shimmer to irritate the eye area. I have really sensitive skin and didn't experience any irritation, so am happy to recommend it.

Lightweight and really hydrating, it will be best for daytime use as the tint and shimmer is a bit wasted at night.
