Oil of Olay

Advantages: Glides on well, smooth and even
Disadvantages: chips easily, can require a few coats

...I have searched for ages for a nail varnish that lasts more than a day, doesn't require three or four coats and dries reasonably quickly. This product fails to achieve many of these, but is still better than most other varnishes. These nail varnishes come in many colours, by and large nice delicate pinks and blues, so if you're looking for hard-core purples or blacks, you won't find them amongst the Olay products. I have a beautiful blue, called Waterfall which looks great on and goes with most things. However, to achieve a reasonable depth, it requires at least two to three coats, but each does dry fairly quickly. I tend to leave each for a minute or two before re-applying and this is enough to be touch dry. The appearance of the nail varnish is really smooth and you can get away without using ridge filler, or even base coat...

Review of Oil of Olay Nail Varnish

Is Baby oil the 'oil' in Oil Of olay

Advantages: can't think of any
Disadvantages: strong thick scent, mineral oil in there, expensive etc.

...I've just got to the end of my bottle of Olay Daily Renewal body wash. Now, I didn't buy it for myself, it was one of the many things that my sister gives me after her skin reacts badly to it. I was half way through the bottle when I started investigating petroleum products/by-products and reluctantly decided to finish the bottle because it is quite expensive. I suppose it goes without saying that I won't be buying it again for the petrolatum (mineral oil/baby oil) reason. On to the product: They have changed the bottle since I was given it, but my bottle is gold black and white. On the front it boasts 40+ uses with the olay puff (any old puff thing you can buy cheaply will do - which is a plastic net that causes foaminess when used with shower products!). Apparently the wash is supposed to give your skin 24hr moisturisation...

Review of Oil of Olay Daily Renewal Body Wash

Olay gives complete care to prune faces!

Advantages: Works brilliantly
Disadvantages: Not sure if it's tested on animals

...I've never known anyone to dis this product! Lets face it our Mums and Grandma's are usually known for loving it through the generations! It's been around for ever this one and even though Olay have brought out other products far more revolutionary this, to me is still the best! The Packaging Of Olay Beauty Fluid.... Firstly the box is light pink and dark pink with a picture of the bottle on the front of it. On one side of the box it gives beauty tips. On the back it tells us why the moisturiser is right for us and how it works. On the other side of the tells us how to use it and ingredients. The bottle is a 100ml recyclable. On the front simple branding and on the back tells us again, how to use it. It has a black screw on lid doesn't look anything special just classic. So The Lotion..... The one I use is the non...

My Olay Passion

Advantages: it's great value for money,for young people as well as old,really works
Disadvantages: none

...Now I don't know about you,but when the words "Oil of Olay" are mentioned,I always think of middle aged women rubbing some cream into their face because according to the adverts,it gives you younger skin.So being only 18,still young and "fresh" I never thought I'd own any. So how did I come to own this cream?Quite simple really...Mum bought it me.Now from my previous ops I have always written about things that my parents seem to buy for me.I promise I aren't that much of a baby it's just we live in the middle of nowhere and mum and dad always ask me to look after their dogs while they go out somewhere (if they can't take the dogs with them).So this then means I have to give my parents a shopping list. Now my usual night cream is Bio-Calmille from Yves Rocher.This is usually priced at £6.99 for a 50ml tub (see my op on it for more...

Review of Oil of Olay Double Action Night Cream

I thought Oil of Olay was for over 40s

Advantages: IT WORKS
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest on the market

...I have always thought that the Oil of Olay range was for people over 40 who wanted to make their skin feel and look young again. I must admit that my perception of Oil of Olay was probably gained from the Oil of Olay adverts which USE TO appear on our television screens. At the age of 16 I had not used any moisturisers on my face at all. However I found that my face had suddenly started becoming dry so I hit the shops to buy one of the teenage moisturisers or creams. Funnily enough I totally walked past the Oil of Olay section because me and my friends thought that it was only for people who wanted to look young again. That day I bought one of the normal teenage moisturisers and that worked fine for me until I started to breakout into spots. I had never really been through the spot phase but I had heard that the best thing...

Olay Toner - Very Refreshing

Advantages: Revitalises, tones and refreshes
Disadvantages: None

...I?ve been using Olay products since I was a teenager (and that?s going back far too many years to remember any more). In those days, it was known as Ulay and I remember my mum introducing both my sister and I to the delights of good old Oil of Ulay Moisturising Fluid. Since that time, Olay (as it?s now known) have come a very long way, and have increased their skin care products to cover much more than just the old moisturising fluid. I like to think that I?ve always taken fairly good care of my skin, and it rarely lets me down. I try to keep out of strong sunshine, drink lots of water and take care to cleanse, tone and moisturise my face (almost) every night. This routine slipped a little during my University years, however, as I was guilty of a few late nights, and crashing into bed fully made up (and clothed sometimes) to wake...

Review of Oil of Olay Gentle Refreshing Toner

Good old Olay - applies to moisturisers only.

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 along with UV filters to protect your skin. This moisturiser 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...

Review of Oil of Olay Oil of Olay

"Olay" For Olay

Advantages: Great Absorbancy and Very Gentle
Disadvantages: None

...Most or all of us have heard of Olay at some time or another, it's been around for years. Olay first begun in the 1950's by Graham and Dinah Wulff in a home laboratory, the batch even being mixed by hand. Within five years Olay was a hug success covering many countries. Today Proctor and Gamble have the Olay name firmly under there belt. I must admit to not having used this brand up until a few months ago, I do think that we should pay attention to our skin, mine gets very dry in the winter months on my face, and before Christmas needed a new moisturising day cream, and although I'm not a skin flint I just cannot bring myself to paying £30 or £40 for a face cream, so shopped around a little and thought I'd give this a try, after all it cant be that bad for the amount of time that it has been around. So my purchase comes in...

Review of Oil of Olay Double Action Day Cream

Oil of Olay Provital Energising Face Wash

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 this product, after using it my skin felt really soft, 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....
