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

Although it just said my three week old son is 47 so I’m now less convinced of its accuracy 😂

😂😂some newborns can look like wee old men to be fair!

Purplehonesty2 · 12/06/2022 20:56

39
And I'm nearly 42 so pretty accurate

Itwasgoodwhileitlasted · 12/06/2022 20:57

Took 6 years off me and accurately highlighted my problems under eye

AuntieDolly · 12/06/2022 21:07

Added 8 years (but it was the worst selfie ever!). I've used olay all my adult life Wink

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 12/06/2022 21:18

I did it and first time (I was smiling) it said I was 47. Did it again just with relaxed face and it said I was 41. I'm 41 ha ha

Roominmyhouse · 12/06/2022 21:24

Mine said 39, I was 40 2 weeks ago! 😂

Evenstar · 12/06/2022 21:28

It gave me 41, around 16 years younger than my actual age. People do say I look younger than I am, but maybe not that much 😊

BlackSwan · 12/06/2022 21:28

I can't use it anymore - it became my Olay "Mirror Mirror On The Wall". Fuelled an unhealthy obsession!

VoyageInTheDark · 12/06/2022 21:31

I got three years younger. My skin is terrible so I'm happy with that!

Sortilege · 12/06/2022 21:38

It knocked 13 years off mine, which is ridiculous because it was a very strongly lit selfie with all the age spots, redness, elevens, and jowls very much in evidence. It’s not flattering. It just stops me trusting their advice (marketing).

KarrotKake · 12/06/2022 21:38

Got me spot on.
But I had to lie, as I dont use any of the products in that list. Soap and water here, so possibly not their ideal demographic!!!!

ohmygloshes · 12/06/2022 21:40

6 years off my age!

Sortilege · 12/06/2022 21:41

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.

That might be it.

RogueV · 12/06/2022 21:41

Took 10 years off

Costacoffeeplease · 12/06/2022 21:43

6 years younger for me

Costacoffeeplease · 12/06/2022 21:49

6 years younger for me

PeachMelba78 · 13/06/2022 06:37

With a dodgy picture - 38. With a more flattering one - 32.
I’m 44 and have always taken extremely good care of my skin as I used to be a beauty therapist so not surprised and it matches the shock when people find out my age.

violetsanddaisies · 13/06/2022 06:52

It puts me at 30. I'm actually 39.

That's also very much in line with what people say in real life, I get told I look a lot younger. Even though on MN it's often said no one can look 10 years younger...

wfrances · 13/06/2022 07:00

29
I'm 47 😁

lljkk · 13/06/2022 07:34

Only 3 months older, mid 50s. I'm super pleased with that, I'm out in sun a lot. Am haphazard about remembering sun cream. I expected it to say 60+.

SophieHasOneQuestion · 13/06/2022 08:01

I tried a few times:
No smile = younger age
Smile = older (added 6 years and the only difference is that I smiled in the 2nd selfie)
Darker light = younger
Brighter/natural light (move laptop towards the window a bit)= much younger (12 years off)

Guess the secret of looking younger is not to smile and stay under the natural/bright light.

Handsnotwands · 13/06/2022 08:08

Yes! I’m a proverbial mnetter who looks 10 years younger! (Am 44 put my at 34). I’ll try again later when I’ve rolled out of bed and my wrinkles have depuffed.

Lagattolove · 13/06/2022 08:15
  1. I’m 50. I’ll take that on a Monday morning 😂 I might even leave my camera on for teams today.
orangeisthenewpuce · 13/06/2022 08:17

Love it. It knocked 13 years of me. Smile

butterflyball91 · 13/06/2022 09:05

I took one picture directly under the ceiling light and it put my age at 38 then I put the light out, opened the blind and took the photo infront of the window and my age dropped to 30.

I think you need to take these sorts of things with a pinch of salt!
