Oil of Olay Moisturising Body Wash My mum was recently given this as a present. As I'd run out of my own body wash, I knew my mum wouldn't mind if I used a bit of hers until I could go to the... more

    Since Olay Moisturising Body Wash was brought out a few years ago, other manufacturers have slowly jumped on the bandwagon and brought out their own moisturising washes – including Dove, Boots and Original Source, but Olay still seems to be the best, and most popular brand. Before Olay, most shower gels were just that: a gel, which would create a lather, smell nice (usually fruity!) and keep you clean, but that was about it. Olay went a step further and provided us with a wash which actually moisturises as well as creating lather, smelling lovely (although not fruity!) and of course keeping ... more

    ~ ~ OK. This op is a first for the “mad cabbie”, so I’m trusting you lot to be gentle with me when it comes to the ratings!!!! Picture the scene. There’s Ken, having his customary morning shower to start off his day. He’s just washed all the body parts, and applied the conditioner to his flowing locks (well, maybe not so flowing these days, but you’re allowed SOME illusions) to keep them in tip-top condition. Now he has to wait a few minutes to give all the ingredients in the conditioner (possible op to follow, depending on the response to this one!!) time ... more

    Advantages Advantages cleans and moisturises, can be bought with replacement puff, lovely scent

    Disadvantages Disadvantages wish it was on offer more

    I am not very old, but sometimes after a LONGGGGGGGG day I feel ancient. I think we all have had days, or even weeks like that :( Usually I try unwinding with a nice mug of hot choccie, some biccies with more choccie, and a nice soak in a tub full of bath smellies. Unfortunately, about ten minutes after leaving the bath, that refreshed feeling starts to slip away. Not so with this body wash. It has a deep moisturising formula, that like other Oil of Olay products, works to mimic the body's own natural moisturisers. What you are supposed to do is wet this net like sponge called a body puff ... more

    Advantages Advantages creamy, moisturising, washes well

    Disadvantages Disadvantages bland fragrance, badly designed packaging, inferior to some other brands

    I currently have eleven shower gels, which some may say is a little excessive. I have one by Lush, three by Original Source, two by Radox, three by Avon, one Get Fruity by Asda and this one – Oil of Olay’s moisturising body wash. Therefore, when I bought the Oil of Olay one, hubby wasn’t quite sure why I needed it. I tried to explain it was highly recommended by Ciao, but he just raised his eyes skywards and sighed deeply. So I thought I’d plead my case here and try to explain why I bought it, to those who will understand. I have only become a convert to showers in the ... more

    Advantages Advantages smooth silky moisturised skin

    Disadvantages Disadvantages expensive

    Until a couple of years ago, Oil of Ulay (or Olay as it seems to be called now) was not a brand name that I would have given a second thought to. As far as I was concerned the brand was associated with the rich, famous, old and sorry mum, my mother. Oil of Olay advertising claimed that their facial creams helped 'reduce the signs of ageing'. Being a fairly young looking 31 year old, this kind of slogan did not appeal to me. I have always wanted to look older than I am not younger (although not so much now that I am racing towards middle age). If the advertising had said "makes you more ... more
