My Experience with Olay Anti-Wrinkle Firm and Lift 2-in-1 Day Cream + Serum:

I came across this serum + day cream almost a month ago. The first thing I liked about the product was that it’s a 2-in-1 cream which claimed to make the skin look firmer. The product is for women in the age group 30-60. The cream comes in a sealed box. You have all the information needed on the box. The packaging is quite simple. It comes in a purple pump bottle with a plastic transparent cap. There isn’t much information available on the bottle. The cap shuts with a click and is hassle free to carry.

The serum is white in colour, creamy gel like and has a pleasant smell. There are so many benefits of using a serum. I learnt it when I started using one and have never stopped! The product gets absorbed quite well and doesn’t leave any greasiness or residue. The product is very light and reminds me of gel-based primers. It doesn’t feel sticky and makes the skin matte. My skin feels very velvety smooth after the application of this serum. The product alone can make your face look hydrated and refined.

As it also incorporates a cream, the skin is effectively moisturized and nourished. A pea sized amount is more than enough for face and neck and it acts as a perfect base for makeup. It would have been a complete all-rounder had it come with an SPF. The product tones the skin and creates a more naturally young look. Within a week of usage, my skin tone was clearing up and my face looked more radiant and had a natural glow. I have fine lines at the corners of my eyes and they sag a bit.

With rigorous usage twice a day, I have noticed that the fine lines are fading. Even though it is not readily visible, you can notice the minute changes. I am sure that it can make a difference in just 21 days, as claimed. The product also minimises pores and this is a plus. This 2 in 1 product is a good invention from the brand and is easily affordable. The ingredient list contains a list of products that are good and help regenerate the skin. But along with these ‘good’ ingredients, you can also notice parabens in the list.

On the packaging I read that the cream can be used by women between the age group 30-60 but their UK website suggests 40+ as the ideal age. I am just hitting my 30s and I do not want to use a stronger cream for my age and thus, for now, I am planning to give it away to my mom. But if you are 40+, this cream is a perfect skin care choice!

One thought on “Olay Anti-Wrinkle Firm and Lift 2-in-1 Day Cream + Serum Review

  1. Hello, I realize this is an old review, but I want to clear up your confusion about which age group this is meant for. The answer is that age is not a skin type. Anyone can use any skincare product. As long as it suits their skin type, be it normal, dry, combination, or oily. This product contains ingredients beneficial for skin at any age. The manufacturers may be assuming that a mature person’s skin is “dry skin”, but this is not always the case. Many older people have oily skin, or acne even. While a a teenager could have dry skin. The good news is that if you like how this product feels on your skin and you see positive results, it’s absolutely fine to use it. Sunscreen is the number one proven anti-aging ingredient, so always apply SPF as the last step in your morning skincare routine. This line also has an SPF15 lotion, which you could apply instead or on top of the 2-in-1 serum cream, depending on if your skin is more dry or oily. Hope that helps.
