Oil of Olay is a well known skin care brand for women.For years those lovely people who develop Oil of Olay have been creating different products that help tighten,soften and keep skin refreshed.Best known for it's anti aging products,many women use nothing other than Oil of Olay on a daily basis (and I don't really blame them).
And now they've made their service even better by adding these new daily facial products to thousands of shelves around the country.But what do these daily facials do? Simple they keep our skin fresh and soft and replace soap,make-up remover,facewash,cleansing
milk and toner on a daily basis meaning they save a lot of time in a morning (great news for gals on the go).
There are two types of packaging available for these the only real difference being that one lot comes with a tub to keep them in and the other is a refill pack.The one I am going to be talking about is the refill pack (there isn't any difference in the products themselves).
There are 30 cleansing clothes contained within the box and they are all packed closely together.The box is only small so it should fit in a handbag making them easy to carry around if you are sleeping overnight somewhere.The box is mainly blue and white and it contains some writing in purple.
On the front of the box it shows a woman using one of the cloths and of course she has gorgeous skin.The original Olay logo is there and the title of the product is in blue.It then tells you what the product is (lathering cleansing cloths) and tells you what skin type they are for (normal to dry skin).It says that the cloths are hydrating and it also gives a little box at the top in the right hand corner in yellow,telling you that they have been improved.The final thing that is on the front is the words refill.recharge written down the side.
On the top of the box it is quite plain with some of the same information as on the front only now telling us that it has 80% more moisturizes to hydrate as you cleanse.
One side of the box is the same as the top and the other tells you how to refill the pack into the tub (mentioned as the other type of packaging earlier).
The back of a product I find is the second most important thing to look at when choosing a product.This is because it usually contains all the information you need on a product.On the back of these it tells you how it is customized in three ways for normal to dry skin.These ways are:
2)Unique finely-textured cloth softly cleanses and exfoliates.
3)Special moisture-rich lather hydrates skin while removing dirt,make-up,even mascara.
It tells you the above information in English and French which must mean they are available in France too.
The other thing it tells you on the back of the box is the directions of use.I particuarly like this section because it isn't just telling you how to use the product;it is showing you too.There are four pictures that match four simple directions.As you may have gathered the cloths cleanse your face through lather.This means that you have to first wet the cloths before use.You then rub the cloth together until it starts to lather.Next rub the cloth all over your face (even around the eyes)and finally rinse it off.Simple!
They are so easy to use and it takes only around a minute,two at the most to use them.They instantly make your skin feel smooth after use and it feels like your skin can breathe.I choose products that are good for me and that will make me feel more confident and these definately acheive both those things.They last almost a month too so they are definate value for money.You could buy the tub if you want,I think it is something like a pound extra but then you don't have to buy one again and I suppose it looks better than keeping them in the box.
I am really pleased with these because it saves me so much time and it doesn't feel like a chore to use them.They are really cheap I think too for what you get.I paid £3.99 for 30 in Superdrug and Tesco.At the time it was buy one get one free in Tesco so I have loads left now!If however you want to buy the tub too it will probably cost you £4.99 which I think you'll agree isn't a bad price.
I've been using them now for just over a month and I've fallen in love with them (watch out Stephen lol).They really are worth the value and the confidence in my skin they have given me is fantastic.
I definately give this product 5 stars out of 5.I hope this has helped you decide whether or not to buy them.

I decided it wasn't worth paying the extra for the proper container, but put a few in another container (which I didn't have to pay for) to go away. The cardboard box is neat & tidy. Aren't I mean! - LOL

I recently bought these for my gf, solely because they had a 2 for 1 offer at tescos (to be even more of a cheapo I bought the refills rather than plastic pack but hey!) but they seem to be a hit!!
Advantages: Quick, easy to use, no bacteria build up since individual cloths, removes makeup and also cleanses and tones Disadvantages: a little pricey

Review of Oil of Olay Daily Facials
Advantages: The former product kept my skin soft and smooth and actually looking younger Disadvantages: I do not like the fact that you are selling basically a piece of cloth with soap for facial cleans
