I am looking to buy a more inexpensive drugstore moisturizer and I have narrowed it down to either:
- Olay Total Effects 7X
- Nivea Visage Q10
Has anyone used either of these products? Both are have good reviews on mua although I am leaning towards the Olay because I use an Olay product with spf for day. |

I love the oil of olay total effects. I used to use it awhile back for about 2 years, but had to discontinue because of acne (not associated with Olay).
I noticed that this moisturizer really refined my skin and made it really smooth.
When I went through a bout of major acne due to coming off of the pill, I then went off of olay and just used proactive and other moisturizers made for acne. I ended up having severely dry skin, and then I used Olay regenerist moisturizer and my skin was completely hydrated after 3 days.
Although I am using a much more expensive moisturizer now (phytomer oligo pur to control my oil production), I might still go back to total effects once I am finished with phytomer- I loove the fragrance! |

Thanks for the reply! The thing I like about the Olay is that they have different formulations including a fragrance free version and the pump dispenser. Guess I will have to give it a try  |

| I'm using Olay and loving it...Day and night cream. Their thermal scrub with glycolic acid is also very good. |

| I've never used Total Effects, but I have been using the Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum around my eyes, between my eyebrows and on my laugh lines each night for about 8 years. I am now 35 and have no wrinkles. I am just starting to see very faint laugh lines. |

| I have just started using Olay regenerist day lotion with spf 15 and night cream. I liked the texture of both and I think they did good job of moisturizing. Diana P's experience with Olay is very encouraging. |

| I am more of a Nivea girl myself I find Olay products almost always give me breakouts. However both my mum & sister use a fair bit of Olay skincare & they both have great skin. |

| I have used many Olay products and have had some great results. I think they are great drugstore formulas...I used the 7x for some time but stopped bc my adult acne was getting out of hand. Not related to olay...just adult acne. I loved their basic pink lotion too! Reminds me of my grandma. |

Any recommendations for a Olay cleanser  I have normal-dry skin (slightly dehydrated), freckles, few broken capillaries, and just starting to get very fine lines (I'm 31). May as well be using all Olay products in my routine  |

I liked the Daily Cleansing Cloths-Dry skin and I've been checking out the Definity Cream Cleanser (bc I liked the moisturizer).
I can say that I hated the Daily Regenerating Cleanser...the one with little beads...it is an ok cleanser but there is NO exfoliating going on. I use it to shave my legs. |

I love the cleansing cloths too!
But I always forget to use them.
If you do get them, you can cut them in 1/2 and get double the use out of one box. I always find that using one whole cloth is a waste.

I've been cutting my cloths in half for years. I love feeling I'm getting my money's worth when I buy something. I have a stockpile of cloths now. |
