Olay skin advisor how old does it say you look and how old are you

If you put a selfie in to the Olay Skin Advisor does it get your age right.
How old are you and what age does it say you are?
Wondering if it gives a vanity assessment or not

It put me at 34 and I'm 34 in November.

MrsMigginsCat · 12/06/2022 20:15

It said I was 50. I am 50. My forehead, which is very lined and always has been was green and if anything that's the area I'd really like to do something about.

Timeandtune · 12/06/2022 20:15

Well I had never heard of this so I had to try it. It put me at 48 and I am actually 63 so I am happy. Obviously I think it’s a load of nonsense.

mirrorballer · 12/06/2022 20:16

A selfie I'd used with makeup on put me at 38 and one I'd just taken where I looked dreadful said 30. I'm 45. 👍

cultkid · 12/06/2022 20:16

It said I'm 29 and I am

Secnarf · 12/06/2022 20:18

it took 12 years off me, but I wonder whether there it doesn’t cater for different ethnicities, as I thought I looked old and haggard in the photo that the app took.

I think it's fairly accurate, put me at 30 and I'll be 32 in October.

Just tried with natural light (1st was in the bathroom) and it put 27, so knocked a couple more years off. I don't think it's totally random.

WhenIgrowolder · 12/06/2022 20:22

I am delighted - it took 11 years off me!

TheOGCCL · 12/06/2022 20:22

I took the same photo on my phone and one on my iPad and there was a nine year difference 🤷‍♀️

BarbedButterfly · 12/06/2022 20:22

It said I was 30 and I'm 40 (41 in a few weeks)

Sunshineonarainydayy · 12/06/2022 20:23

19 years off! Buzzin!!!😂

BelleNoir · 12/06/2022 20:23

12 years off me, so happy 😀

nzeire · 12/06/2022 20:26

Added 12 years to me, will try later when I’m a bit more woke 😳

BeautifulWar · 12/06/2022 20:26

It was spot on for me!

SloppyHousekeeper · 12/06/2022 20:28

I was 40 when not smiling and 54 when smiling. I am 51. Must remember not to smile if I want to look young.

Gigia · 12/06/2022 20:29

It put me at 30, I'm 41

piglet81 · 12/06/2022 20:30

I’m 40 and it said 34! Hooray!

ZealAndArdour · 12/06/2022 20:32

I’ve tried it twice, first time I got 32 years old, and second time with a photo from this morning I got 22 years old.

I’m 35, 36 next month.

But I do have Botox in my forehead, elevens and crows feet so might have tricked the AI by disguising things it’s programmed to look for. I also use tret. Every time I’ve ever used olay it’s been super heavy and greasy and caused me to have breakouts.

GrumpyDullard · 12/06/2022 20:32

I’m 49. First time it knocked off 10 years, taken just now in the kitchen. Second time I used a photo I’d taken earlier this week, outdoors just after a 5k run and it added 8 years. So a load of old tosh.

IamEarthymama · 12/06/2022 20:33

I am in my 60s and it was spot on!

Obviously I wish it said I was younger as I have been conditioned by social norms, but I am happy really. (It did sting a tadlet, I will admit)😉

I have loads of laughter lines and look increasingly like my grandmother 👵
I am ok with this, a bit, a very little bit of makeup and I feel presentable!
I really have lost that automatic checking out of other women, it just went in menopause. I mean that thing where you look at strangers’ hair, makeup etc and judge or think that looks good.

As I said on another thread, getting older is much more preferable than the alternative. ☺️ I have long Covid and severe arthritis so I know pain really does show in my face. I love to compliment other women on their style so maybe I do still judge, just not as harshly.

I do hope this Olay thing hasn’t hurt anyone’s feelings 💖

(Bit of a ramble as I had a G&T with my evening meal, which according to another thread means that I must immediately sign into rehab!)

JackieCollinshasnoauthority · 12/06/2022 20:33

I took another photo using my phone and dropped from 51 to 42 which is less terrifying.

OatcakeCravings · 12/06/2022 20:33

It’s bull, just took a selfie first one had me 1 year older the second one, 10 years younger. Same photo just did it twice!

Ah spoilsport

keeprunningupthathill · 12/06/2022 20:35

Mine said 36 and I'm 42. I looked about 60 in the pic though!

Cmit08 · 12/06/2022 20:35

Knocked 8 years off me!
