Review: OLAY Total Effects 7 in 1 Anti Aging Body Wash

I'm a fan of Olay. Though they come off expensive in the Philippine market. =_= sigh why is it cheaper in places like Hong Kong or Singapore? idk. It's so expensive that whenever I tell people I use Olay body wash they go "OMG YOU'RE SO RICH!!!! I CAN'T EVEN AFFORD THEIR CREAMS!" I get their total effects anti aging creams abroad since they're much cheaper abroad.

Philippines is a developing country, why do all these stores sell their stuff at steep prices? o.O Can't they do like a statistics. If only the rich and social climbers can afford their stuff, then their sales would go down. They should target the middle class. Or maybe it's their marketing strategy.  

But one day as I stroll around the supermarket to buy my groceries, a saleslady offered me a promo from Olay. buy one take one of their new body wash. It was 300 pesos, and since I had extra cash on me why not

From then on I stopped using soap and converted into using Olay body wash. So here's a review for all three of them, go browse which one you plan to buy:



sorry I can't find a clearer image
This was a buy one take one when it first came into the market. Bought this on impulse cause I could afford it that time. I got the purple one since it's the most hydrating, and I have really dry skin. To be honest, I really love this body wash. It wasn't like most body wash where it runs all over the place once you start pouring to your loofah. It has the consistency of a cream with a flat outlet. It's also very easy to lather. I usually just use a pea size drop of this product and it would cover my whole body + more bubbles for me to play with. 

The product claims to have "Skin Brightening Minerals", and true enough, upon use you'd notice gold like minerals deposited on your skin. They're huge enough not to clog your pores so don't worry bout getting boils or whatever.  The skin brightening minerals is what keeps me loyal to this product. It turns your ugly dull skin into shimmery radiant healthy skin. 

the dude in charge for the scent
I find this product perfect in our tropical climate, since after use, the product seems to keeps your skin hydrated, as if you'd put lotion on. Lotion tends to melt and feel icky when the weather is hot, so a plus for this product

What I absolutely hate with this body wash is the smell! Oh dear God, something must be wrong with their noses when they made this product. It smells like milk with something dead inside, or coconut milk that's gone rancid. A musky creamy smell that should be fragrant but went wrong? Maybe coconut oil with some weird voodoo herbs used to relieve bad rheumatics? It just smells horrible. It just reminds me of that oil my grandmother used which she claims miraculous. I don't know what kind of words I should use to describe it, I just don't like the smell. I don't know if it's one of those weird western thing, but it really smells bad. I'm happy that the scent doesn't stay on my skin once you wash it off. That or maybe my nose got used to the smell. idk.

As for the hydrating effects, then I would say, no it didn't do much. I will admit that I think my skin got a bit hydrated but nothing special.  Emphasis on the I think. I really had dry skin when I used this product. It didn't get softer at all, but it got hydrated and less dry. And since I used this product for a quarter of year or more, then no. If you want baby butt soft skin then click here.

As For anti aging, I couldn't tell since I'm still young. No wrinkles yet. Maybe it is effective in that area

All in all I'd rate this one a 3 out of 5. Like I said, the reason why I love this product is because of the minerals. I'd even give it a 4.5 probably cause I really love those minerals. But the scent is really off-putting. Sad part is, all products smell the same! Ugh!! I wish they simply copied the cream's scent. =_=
