Olay beauty products

Does anyone use Olay facial skincare products? If so which one's would you recommend?
I'm 31 & for the past 5 years i've been using Clarins but now i think that:
a) my skin has got used to it, &
b) it's getting more & more expensive

I like a cream cleanser that you wipe off (not wash off), toner (alcohol-free) and a light-feeling moisturiser. I'm a bit confused by all the different ranges available :)
Any suggestions? Thanks

I use this one, and (when I remember to cleanse at night) the night cream from the same range. The day cream is lovely and light. I don't use toner, and I use a wash-off cleanser.

I've tried other Olay moisturisers: the tinted ones with a bit of foundation were very good, the self-tanning ("sun-kissed" Hmm) were a disaster, because after a few days I looked like I had a mild case of jaundice, Regenerist brought me out in a rash, and Total Effects gave md spots.

Hi

I am a massive fan of Olay (Total Effect), have used both day and night ones and they were FAB. Can't be bothered with the ones that have a touch of foundation.

Will buy Regenerist next as I loooove them. I think very good value for money and found them much better than more expensive brands.

I have used Olay for years. OK, OK, I admit, DH works for the company, but I wouldn't use it if it wasn't good stuff.

I've used Total Effects moisturiser pretty much since it was launched, as I love the fact that it soaks straight in (I can't bear that mask-like greasy feeling you get with some face creams) and I also like the smell. It doesn't give me spots. I've now started using the Regenerist Serum underneath, as time is marching onwards (I'm 43).

Never bothered with the cleansers and toners I'm afraid (splash of water does for me).
