Olay Olay Olay Olay

Advantages: leaves skin soft, great smell
Disadvantages: can be expensive

...Sounds spanish doesn't it? I have just had a bath and used Oil of Olay Moisturising Body Wash, it made me drift back to my holiday in Florida. It's funny how certain smells remind you of a person or place isn't it? I went to Orlando a few years ago and we had hired a massive villa with three bedrooms, two bathrooms etc. There is only two of us but we like to enjoy the luxury for two weeks at least, as we will never be able to afford this in real life. When I went into the spare bathroom I noticed a sample of Oil of Ulay bodywash. This is what it used to be called before they changed it to Olay. I had never heard of it then, and being cheeky I thought i would use this in the bath. It was only a little sachet but it provided plenty of bubbles and a beautiful aroma. It's hard to describe the smell of it, I suppose you can almost...

Review of Oil of Olay Moisturising Body Wash

Olay, Olay, Olay, Olay!!

Advantages: A nice rich moisturiser
Disadvantages: Price

...I have used the original oil of olay for years, it is one of those things that i have never bothered to change. It suited my skin and was a decent price. I was running low and asked my sister to pick me up some more, seeing as she works in Boots. She turned up with this one, i pointed out to her ( very nicely!) that this was not the one i asked for and was also about 4 times the price. To which she said that she thought she would treat me ( she's up to something!) Then i noticed it was an anti-ageing moisturiser ( cheeky cow! ). I very politely pointed out that she is only 4 years younger than me and if she keeps reminding me about this she will need more than an anti-ageing product! So just to spite her i gave this a go. HISTORY --------------- Olay was created by a chemist called Graham Wulff in the 1950's. Back then women...

Review of Olay Definity

Washing with ribbons, whatever next?!!!!

Advantages: Lovely lingering scent
Disadvantages: Messy lid

...Back to my usual reviews body washes!!! To be honest I have tried a few since my last review on this subject but I really haven't found one to write about. Most of them have just turned out to be bland and not really worth mentioning and I have tried so many over the years that I am running out of new ones! But then I found this one while wandering around Wilkinson's and decided it looked interesting and I love Olay products anyway. So did it purk up my interest? COMPANY HISTORY Olay was started in South Africa in 1949 by a man called Graham Wulff, he was an ex Unilever chemist. The product was originally called Oil of Olay (I remember my mum using this!) He chose this name as a spin on the word Lanolin. The fluid was certainly unique and came in a glass bottle and Wulff and his marketing partner Jack Lowe marketed it in a very...

Review of Olay Body Wash Plus Lotion Ribbons with Aloe Extract

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

Now this is One awsome body wash, Oil of Olay

Advantages: Helps dry skin, acts as a cream and moisturizes your skin.
Disadvantages: Over use in lardge amounts make your skin feel greasey!

...This is one I would recomend to ladies everywhere. This is the first time Ive used this oil of olay body wash in the last couple weeks. I have trouble with dry skin and this is doing wonders for my skin. It doesnt itch eny more and my skin is soft and silky! It has a light scent and makes you feel fresh and clean. It was on sale when I bought it but its regular price is about $4.00? The only thing about it is if you use too much its too greasey and your body feels oily. So mabe use only what you need in small amounts. Try this one for dry skin it works! One more this if you do use to much and your skin becomes too greasey it can get on your clothing and mabe even stain your clothes....

Review of Oil of Olay Moisturising Body Wash

A definate let down by Olay.

Advantages: Latest product from Olay
Disadvantages: Everything, leaves skin shiny and sticky.

...I have always been a lover of Olay products, and when I saw the advert for this new 'wonder' cream I thought I would give it a go. Although this product is over £20.00, judging by the advert it was supposed to give your skin a luminous effect. I was not at all impressed by this product, a definate let down by Olay. Granted the impressive packaging looks really fancy, and you would expect a cream that costs over the £20.00 mark to work wonders, but in fact the cream was in my opinion no better than the cheaper Olay creams on the market. The cream itself is a mousse, which is quite different, and on application it glided on easily, but I found that the mousse did not absorb very well into my skin and left my skin feeling sticky and somewhat shiny. I wont waste the product, as it cost a bomb, but after an hour the mousse still...

Review of Olay Definity

Hooray for Olay!

Advantages: Very easy to apply, doesn't streak, no nasty smell
Disadvantages: Needs more than one application for effect, makes my eyes sting

...If you've read any of my other reviews, you will know that I have an extremely pale complexion. So pale, I've been told, that I look almost transparent - my nickname at school was 'Casper' - so, you get the picture? I've tried loads and loads of self-tanning products over the years - some have worked or me and others haven't worked so well. Some self-tanners I've tried are specifically meant for use on the body (rather than the face) but I've used them anyway, usually with pretty disasterous results! I'd seen the advert on TV for Olay Complete Care Everyday Sunsine and I immediately took notice. My daughter moaned at me not to waste my money, but, I saw a tube 'on special offer' in Sainsburys during the summer holidays, and I decided to give it a go. I think it cost in the region of £5.00 but the sticker stated that the RRP...

Review of Olay complete care everyday sunshine

40 plus Uses with Olay Puff, my mind boggles.

Advantages: It smells gorgeous
Disadvantages: I am allergic to scented toiletries

...My darling boyfriend of three years bought me this product for Christmas. It came with a face and body moisturizer and a 'puff' (the best use I have found for the puff is when sponging paint on the wall - but that is a different op!). I was a little disgruntled to say the least. I am on the wrong side of 40, and the bottle says 40+ - bl** cheek! He thinks I am old!! (he is a little bit younger than me, but tends to think he is atleast ten years younger) But I digress. So, I smiled sweetly and was overjoyed at the present. My kids however then laughed at his bravery on buying a wrinkly product for me (how they view Oil of Olay products) and waited for the storm. I remained overjoyed and proceeded to have a shower. It smelt gorgeous, a little bit like a strong baby powder. I only needed to use a 'little dab' like...

Review of Oil of Olay Moisturising Body Wash

"Olay" For Olay

Advantages: Great Absorbancy and Very Gentle
Disadvantages: None

...feels great to apply, and absorbs really well and no greasiness at all. Although my skin tends to be dry in the winter I really would describe my skin as being sensitive, and I do suffer with excema, although not on my face but nevertheless sensitive, but I've had no problems in the time that I have been using this. In fact I have been so impressed with this that as my other products that I use run out, I am going to replace them with Olay and try them out too. I paid £4 for this pot and think it is very much good value. I do know that they have a vast selection of skin products for all skin types which include moisturisers, day and night creams, facial cleansers, serums, cleansing cloths, body lotions and washes. So, full marks from me Olay, Thanks For reading...

Review of Oil of Olay Double Action Day Cream

Olay Definity anti age ageing with SPF15

Advantages: Younger looking Skin
Disadvantages: Nil

...I first tryed this product with a free sample which is easy to get through their web site. I have tryed lots of olay products but i can honestly say i had instant results, i was so amazed, it reduced my tiny red lines after two applications, hand on my heart it really did, i woke up after 2 days i thought oh my god it really does work. It glides on evenly and feels light not heavy and it does not look like you have oily skin like some do. It reduces dark patches and reduces dark spots that you acquire over the years It gives back some of the elasticity that you lose over the years too. It claims to penitrate 10 layers of your skin to give your skin the youthful, radiant, vibrant skin. This is a complete break though Melanin and brown spots:- when we are younger pigment cells are turned off most of the time but are...
