1.0 out of 5 stars Not an eye cream, and fails as a concealer. Hate., March 4, 2011

(What's this?)

Hmmm. I normally like Olay products, so I'm not sure how they wound up with this huge misfire. But this product is awful. Even for free.

First of all, the name of the product is "7-in-1 Anti-aging Eye Cream". So, call me crazy, but I thought this would be, you know, an eye cream. It's not. There is nothing eyecreamy going on here... it's not moisturizing at all and in fact my middle aged eyes (and I would think I am the target demo here) need an actual eye cream first for this product to go on at all. So ... what's the point? It also claims to 'immediately reduce the appearance of dark circles'. I had to laugh. Dark circle appearance is reduced because this is a concealer. It's makeup! There's nothing magic, it's not actually treating your dark circles... it's hiding them.

Which brings me to my second point: Even if you accept this product for what it is (a concealer), it still fails. The gigantic nylon brush glops way too much product on, and you need to use your finger to blend it anyway so why bother with a brush at all? The texture is very thick and unpleasant. The color is too dark for me. This is a very heavy, unnatural-looking concealer. Yuck.

BOTTOM LINE: This is a concealer, not an eye cream - you need to use an actual eye cream first to get this stuff to go on smoothly. As a concealer it is heavy and gloppy and thick. I can't recommend this product to anyone at all. I tried it for a few days to give a fair review, then tossed it.

I'm sorry you were so dissatisfied you tossed it! The product does have a hint of tint for those dark under eye circles.

Since it's not for you, I'd love to help find something that's right. If you'd like, send me an email at [e-mail] so we can talk. And, if you ever decide to give it another try it can be used on other areas of the face as well : http://www.youtube.com/olay#p/u/10/LX5SC37U2KQ.

2.0 out of 5 stars bright orange eye cream, March 5, 2011

(What's this?)

I had some high hopes for this product. I have slightly pale, lightly frecked skin and, unfortunately, dark circles that I battle daily. I thought, great, a product that is an eye cream and something that could minimize dark circles. Exactly what someone like me needed.

I did the usual allergy test first, applied a little to the inside of my arm, near the bend to leave on for several hours to make sure I didn't have a reaction to the cream itself (something anyone with sensitive skin should do before using any new product on their face). I was immediately shocked - what brushed on was a bright orange cream. I thought, surely there must be a mistake here - did I get the wrong skin shade? No, it was labelled as matching most skin tones ... but who is orange?

Giving the product the benefit of the doubt, after having no allergic reaction to the stuff, I chose to apply it on a weekend when I didn't have to worry about going off to work with something new on my face. I thought, maybe it wouldn't look so bad under the eyes. Maybe it's orange for a reason? Or, maybe it really would minimize the dark circles? Unfortunately I was very wrong. I looked like someone who had smeared orange cream under their eyes. I applied my usual makeup over it, hoping for a coverup - maybe that's how one is supposed to use this? Wrong again, a slightly blunted orange tinge showed through and I had to wash everything off.

Still, I've used other Olay products before and gave the cream a couple more chances, but I ended up nothing but orange and disappointed. Unfortunately, this very orange product, which could never match any skin tone on this planet, is headed to the trash bin.

1.0 out of 5 stars so disappointing!, March 12, 2011

By 

Allison - See all my reviews

This review is from: Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Anti-Aging Eye Cream Line and Dark Circle Minimizing Brush, 0.2-Ounce (Misc.)

I had really high hopes for this product, as I love the Olay/Covergirl concealers, but at a price tag of $20 this is a RIP OFF! First of all, it is VERY orangey! I had to mix it with another concealer. And secondly, I haven't had this for a week and it is already bone dry! I pump and pump and pump and no product comes out! I was hoping for something with anti-aging ingredients but I suppose I'll just stick to my Garnier Anti-Dark Circle Roller... :/

I've never submitted a product review, this shows just HOW disappointed I am.
