So when it came to trying a day cream Olay was my first choice. I have used up my first bottle and here is how Olay day cream fared for me:

Pros: I like this cream because

  • Says apply liberally but you don’t need much.
  • Has SPF so perfect for summers
  • Reduces pores.
  • Can be used as a base makeup all you need is a compact.
  • Doesn’t make skin greasy.
  • Absorbs super quickly and makes my face feel smooth.
  • Did not break me out.
  • Meets it radiance claim as my skin glows post using this for 2 weeks.

Cons: Few cons in this product are

  • You need to use it for a long time to see visible result but then that’s true for any anti-aging cream
  • The SPF is very less. 
  • It does balance out uneven skin tone.

Rating: I would rate it 4.5/5
