Final Thought:
Olay is well known in the skin care community for its anti-aging products. Olay Eyes Ultimate Eye Cream is one of many in a long line of skin care products created by this well known company, but there are some issues with this product that we’d like to address. Although this eye treatment is meant to be used during the day, it does not contain any SPF protection, meaning an additional product must be layered on top of this one. This product is also lacking in important anti-aging ingredients, such as Vitamins C and E.
Lastly, this product is packaged in a jar, which compromises the effectiveness of any light and air-sensitive ingredients. We would recommend continuing your search for a product that contains a good amount of skin-healthy ingredients and is housed in protective packaging for long-term use.
