Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream Skin Perfecting Tinted Moisturizer With Sunscreen Review & Swatches
Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream can be purchased at Target for $12.99.
I don’t know where to begin with this product so I’ll just come right out and say it.
This is NOT A BB CREAM.
Exhale….That felt so good to get off of my chest.
So now let me take a moment to tell you why.
When I think of a BB Cream I think of a medium coverage product that will hide some of my blemishes and imperfections and this one just doesn’t do that.
So you say well maybe it’s meant to be a Tinted Moisturizer in which case I would say it’s no tinted moisturizer either.
I own tinted moisturizers and while they offer a light coverage they can still cover a few small imperfections where as this product covers nothing.
Proof?
It couldn’t even kinda cover a tiny light colored freckle so how is it a BB cream or tinted moisturizer?
Grrrr…. this product really irritates me.
For what it’s worth it does smell nice and contain an SPF of 15 so if you’re a super duper minimalist when it comes to makeup this may work for you who knows.
I just think they should have called this something like Olay Fresh Effects Moisturizer with Sunscreen and I would have have liked it more, but they didn’t hence the bad review.
Sorry Olay, but I have to give this product 2 thumbs down.
Anyone else try this product?
I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Best,




I agree it’s a great moisturizer, but covered nothing for me. I use the Garnier Fructis BB cream, has great coverage. But it doesn’t last long. Any suggestions on how to get it to stay? Someone told me to put a primer on first.
Maria,
Glad to know I’m not alone.
As far as getting the Garnier Bb Cream to last longer I’d recommend a primer underneath as well. I have oily/combo skin so I always prime before Bb Creams and it does help.
Thanks for stopping by!
