Oil of Olay "USED" to be the best daily facial

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

...A faithful DAILY user for over 30 years. Low and behold, this latest change in the daily facial cloths refill has be boiling. Heck, I might as well buy the soap and use a towel to get the friction and results I USED to receive from the front and back of the cleansing cloths. Now, when scrubbing my face, it just feels like a piece of thin cotton with soap. WHAT HAPPENED? After this refill, I will be seeking a new facial cleanser that doesn't change for the worse. Did you really think it was okay not to include the srub side on the cloth, especially for the same price? If I don't have options to choose the type of facial cloths I need for my skintype, this will be my last box. A faithful, faithful consumer for years, who is extremely disappointed........

Review of Oil of Olay Daily Facials

Blackhead Buster, Simple facial scrub

Advantages: Leaves skin looking and feeling good and reduces blackheads
Disadvantages: None

...I?ve been using the Simple range cleanser and toner for a while now and I needed some new eye make up remover and a face wash and so thought I?d get the same brand to complement each other. I went to Boots and they had a 3 for 2 offer on the Simple range and I saw this clear skin oil balancing scrub and thought I?d get that as well as I could do with a new scrub. The Brand Simple has been around for almost 50 years and pride themselves on using no perfumes or colours in their products to make their range suitable for even sensitive skin. They first started producing soap and then moved onto skincare products and now have bath and body products along with a men?s range. Packaging It comes in a 75ml tube that sits on it?s lid so it?s easy to squeeze the product out. It?s an opaque blue colour so you can see how...

Review of Simple Clear Skin Oil Balancing Facial Scrub

Facial Cleanser for lazy people

Advantages: Feels clean and ease of use.
Disadvantages: Not cheap.

...As a fan of Olay products, I requested these facial cleanser as a sample. After having used this particular facial cleanser for six months now, I believe I am finally qualified to voice my opinion. Well, read on ... The facial cleanser I have been using are the ones for normal to oily skin. And given the fact that Easter is round the corner, lots of chocolates consumed as well as those yet to be eaten, I think a timely reminder to wash one's face regularly can stop those spots from making their annual appearances. Packaging When I first bought this, they were selling the 30 cloths in the usual plastic box and it included a smaller box that was useful for travel. I guess that was the gimmick that got me to buy. Once I had the box, all I needed was to buy the refills whenever I need to. I carry the smaller box for my...

Review of Oil of Olay Daily Facials

Daily facials in a box

Advantages: Quick, easy to use, no bacteria build up since individual cloths, removes makeup and also cleanses and tones
Disadvantages: a little pricey

...I was browsing around Boots with my Mum a few months ago, looking for something to spend her many boots advantage points on. I needed some eye makeup remover and also a new facial cleanser, so was pleasantly surprised to see that Olay now did ‘Daily Facials’ which were supposed to do both – and more. However, looking at the price – 6.99 for a tub of 30 cloths and then another 5.99 for refills – was it really worth it? But seeing as it was only points we were spending (and it’s always hard to find something you really want to buy with them), I wasn’t too bothered and decided I’d try them, and then see if I wanted to spend real money on them later. So what exactly are they? Well, they are 30 cloths, about 6 by 8 inches, in a little plastic tub. This tub is great – it has...

Review of Oil of Olay Daily Facials

Its a Daily Facial

Advantages: Easy to Use, Everything You Need in One Cloth
Disadvantages: Slightly Expensive

...Yes, I?m on the trail of special offers again, in my local Superdrug as usual! PACKAGING I bought the refill pack so there may be a difference to the normal packs. The refills come in a box with the Olay logo with the words Daily Facials on it; the cloths themselves are enclosed in a plastic wrapper inside the box. There?s not a lot else I can say about that (I watched Forrest Gump on Sunday!) THE CLOTHS Initially the when the cloths are taken out of the plastic wrapper each cloth is folded into quarters with a shiny side up. This shiny side is what will create the lather when the cloth is made wet. The cloth has two different sides, one a soft side, which is for gentle cleansing of the more delicate areas of the face like the eyes, and one is a rough side, this is for gentle exfoliation on the main of the face and neck...

Bio Oil

Advantages: Reduces stretchmarks, uneven skin tone, scars etc
Disadvantages: A little bit expensive but worth it

...I have been using Bio Oil twice a day for the last six months and I am amazed at the results. I had never heard of Bio Oil before until my mum bought me a bottle, she bought me a bottle of it because I was forever complaining about the appearance of the stretch marks I have on my belly and boobs. My stretch marks started appearing at the age of seventeen when I was pregnant my son and I'm now twenty two. So for the last five years I have been really embarrassed by the look of them because they were bright purple and clearly visible. I was convinced that the stretch marks would always remain the same colour and never fade, I even nicknamed my stretch marked belly, I call it my Freddie Crougar belly. Bio Oil is an oil based substance which can be used to treat and reduce the appearance of skin problems such as scars stretch marks...

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

facials cheap at twice the price?

Advantages: smooths skin over time, effective cleanser
Disadvantages: skin feels too tight after use

...I decided to buy these as I?d seen the advert in a magazine and the results looked promising. I was looking to improve my skin tone and went for the combination/oily option. *Packaging* The facials come in a plastic box which is very useful for storing them and the refills come in sealed packets which you then transfer to the box. The outside cardboard bit has the Olay logo on and then specifies which skin type is for. There is also a picture of a woman with perfect skin using one. *What they say it does* They claim these are 80% better than basic cleansing to visibly improve skin?s clarity. Quite how they came up with this figure I have absolutely no idea but it does sound impressive. They say the unique dual-textured cloth deep cleanses and gently exfoliates and that the special clean0rinsing lather removes dirt, make...

Olbas Oil

Advantages: Cheap, seems to be working
Disadvantages: None

...It?s that time of year again, cold and flu season and unfortunately I have caught my husband?s man flu. I wrote last week how I bought him some tissues with Olbas oil in them and that I was looking after him through his illness. Well I, unlike him, and not on my death bed and do not need constant care, as all men do with man flu but I do need something to sort out my blocked nose. It?s so infuriating when you cannot breathe and so I really needed something that would unblock my stuffy nose. I have always used Vicks in the past but had heard that Olbas Oil might be a little bit stronger and after using the tissues the other week could definitely smell them and recommended them for unblocking noses so I decided to give the ordinary Olbas Oil a try. Olbas oil is an inhalant decongestant. According to their website Olbas is a special...

Review of Olbas Oil Inhalant Decongestant

One Oil for Everything...

Advantages: It works really well, is versatile
Disadvantages: Seems like an expensive buy..but you realise it's worth it

...At the age of 19, I am not too worried about aging skin, but like a lot of people my age I have been left with the odd stretchmark and some scars from spots. It's the spot-scars that paricularly bother me, as they are on my face and some were quite red and didnt seem to be fading. I saw an advert for Bio-Oil in a magazine and casually thought I might give it a try. I forgot about it for a while, and then, on spotting it on the shelf on my next Boots visit, I thought 'Why not?' I think I paid £8.49 for my 60ml bottle, which sounds a lot, but it does, as I had expected, last for a long time. I've had my bottle for 3-4 months of almost daily use now, and I'd say I've got about another month's use in there yet. Reading through some of the other Bio-Oil reviews the other day, my attention was brought to a website called Mulipharmacy...

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

Olay-a daily facial for your skin!!

Advantages: Removes all traces of make up easily.
Disadvantages: None really

...~~~What is it supposed to do?~~~ These daily facials cleansing cloths promise to remove all make up including waterproof mascara! Olay's promise: "Wet cleansing cloths thoroughly cleanse dirt and make-up, even waterproof mascara. Effective, yet gentle enough for everyday use." They are suitable for normal/dry and combination/oily skin, so that covers just about every skin type. ~~~How to use....~~~ Simply wipe over your face and they will remove all traces of make up. The cloth is textured in sort of squares, and they are lightly scented. ~~~How long do they last?~~~ Well there's 25 wipes in each pack so it depends how often you use them. If like me you just use them after being out when you can't be bothered to properly cleanse, tone and moisturise then they should last a few weeks. ~~~Packaging and Size...
