Advantages: Absorbs quickly, non greasy, value for money Disadvantages: Stingy eyes
...Since their name change from Oil of Ulay to Oil of Olay, Oil of Olay now have a wide range of products to offer. These include: Special Care Range, Essential Care Range, Cleansing Range.
I use their Moisturising Fluid from their Complete Care range. This is because a) I don’t really need to be using any of the wrinkle creams, anti-ageing products which are all part of the Special Care Range. b) the other two products that make up the Complete Care ... ...have to tell anyone they do it, to keep their masculinity).

Advantages: Effective, High Quality, Value for Money Disadvantages: The name change
Oil of Ulay has been around forever. I remember seeing their basic hand and face creams on my mum's dressing table when I was a nipper. The stuff was always a lurid pink then and had a very strong smell, but to me it was glamour incarnate.
Except it's not Oil of Ulay now, it's Oil of Olay. Apparently this has always been its name on the continent, and they thought it was time to bring us in line.
It's not bright pink any more either, and it's not ... ...massive range of skincare products and make-up to suit every type of skin and colouring.
Now, I'm a Lancome girl through and through, but finding myself rather skint lately (the joys of buying and completely refurbishing a house), I decided it was time to economise and try something considerably less pricey.
What I bought was Olay 'Touch' sensory moisturising lotion and Olay facewash.
'Touch' moisturiser comes with or without sun-protection. I ...

Advantages: slinks its way into the skin quickly Disadvantages: a bit middle aged
Oil of Olay has always been my mothers moisturiser of choice, and so its black capped plastic bottle and gold and black logo are a very familiar sight to me, and seeing it on my bathroom shelf at uni makes me feel i have brought a little bit of home with me...(thats along with the cushions,photos, bedding and CD player :) ) I have very dry skin that gets parched and flaky if i dont moisturise regularly and after about four years of everything from ... ...frivolities such as moisturiser, but Oil of Olay is a true snip at just £3.99 for a nice big bottle of the stuff (200ml) that lasts for weeks. Oil of Olay describes itself as "active beauty fluid hypo-allergenic non greasy moisturiser" (seeks dry yet receptive neck and face to soften, smoothen and light up.Age not an issue)It is suitable for sensitive skin. The bottle also offers a number to ring for personalised skincare advice-;08009177197.This ...

Advantages: It works, effective, smells nice. Disadvantages: Makes oily skin more oily.
I have been using this brand for almost a decade now, even my mother was using it when she was younger.
I think with a brand that has been around for so long - it really proves that whatever they're putting into that product really works and not just a case of good marketing.
i have tried everything from moisurisers to eyecreams and cleanser and have generally had no problems. Olay Complete Moisteriser: This has a combonation of vitamins and minerals ... ...really works. Having used it the same night I'd bought it I could see a better difference the next day. My complexion seemed more even, looked more radiant and also well moisturised. I had tried both the fluid and the cream, both are just as good, though I found it moisturised better and the results were better too - this may be due to the concentrations betwwen the two. Having said that, I found that they both made my skin oilier during the day. ...

Advantages: One of the Best Facial Washes Ever. Disadvantages: Quite expensive but well worth it.
Oil of Olay's Provital product range is one of the best ranges they have ever bought out. I have recently tried their Energising Face Wash which is specifically designed for the more mature skin. The face wash has a nice cream formula which foams up really well when put on the face, and removes make up and other residues really easy, leaving no trace of makeup especially hard to get off make up like mascara and eye liner. I was very impressed with ... ...some facial washes can dry out the skin, but this one works really well, must be the moisturisers that have been added. Although it says its for more mature skin I am only 26 years old, but I use it, and I think this would do quite well to keep the old wrinkles at bay. ...

Advantages: Easily absorbed and keeps skin smooth and young Disadvantages: None
I started using Oil of Ulay (as it was then!) many years ago, more than I care to remember. It was cheap and easily absorbed and I must admit that it has kept my face almost wrinkle free for all these years. I have tried many other face creams, in fact I have a drawer full that I've been given or treated myself to as a result of heavy advertising. I always go back to Oil of Olay.
I was confused when they changed their product name without making ... ...nothing to compare with it, it isn't heavily perfumed and makes skin soft and smooth without it feeling greasy and heavy.
It is much better than the rest and at a fraction of the price of the big named face creams.
Save your money, use Oil of Olay! ...

Advantages: it works, well priced Disadvantages: the pink colour is off putting
The Oil of Olay beauty fluid is well worth trying if you like to buy your beauty products from the less designer end of the market. The saying goes that you get what you pay for but this actually is not the case when it comes to this product.
The beauty fluid is sold in a variety of sizes and you can pick up a small bottle in shops like Tescos or Superdrugs for just under two pounds. I find the synthetic pink colour slightly off putting, put this ... ...smell that is totally non chemical smelling.
The fluid is easily absorbed into the skin, even in dry areas. I have a combination skin and finds it works well for me. It leaves my face feeling smooth and moisturises, but not greasy. I use it daily under make up and think that it is a great day cream – however, I do not think it is strong enough to use as a night cream and I do use a separate eye cream, so feel unable to comment about its effectiveness ...

...been a great lover of Oil of Whatever it is these days, although I do like the smell of the beatuty fluid.
My mum had problems with some of their facial products along with a few other people it turns out, whether it was a faulty batch as they were all using the same products, I don't know, but I can't bring myself to trust them ever since my mum's face swelled up like an orang!! (Sorry Mum)!! ...

Advantages: Nice perfurme and leaves skin feeling really good, not greasy Disadvantages: None
Oil of Olay or Ulay as it used to be called is great. I use the Beauty Fluid, Foaming Face Wash and Cleansing milk and find them all excellent.
I have been using them for years now and my husband also uses the Beauty Fluid. This is non greasy and makes your skin feel very smooth and silky.
The face wash does not leave your skin feeling tight as do many others and seems to do a very good job because if you use a cleansing milk after the cotton wool ...

Advantages: refreshing, non greasy and great value for money Disadvantages: its not exactly cheap
Ive been using Oil of Olay since I was 20, im 24 now! Its been a real case of this being passed down "from mother to daughter", as my mum's been using Oil Of Olay for aslong as i can remember!
I highly recommend the whole range, but particularly the cleanser because its very refreshing, very light and non greasy. Also it comes in a sizeable bottle too, so its good value for money! Plus the smell is very subtle and pleasant and it also lasts a long ... ...skins!
There is also an Oil of Olay range now for more mature skins, which includes the cleanser. So i believe they'll be reaching a lot more people this way! I highly recommend this cleanser, and the Oil Of Olay range, as a whole. It's definitely one that you'll love and keep on using! ...
