Olay Daily Facials Express - Sensitive Skin
Daily Facials Express Wet Cleansing Cloths, specially formulated with aloe for sensitive skin, easily lift away dirt and makeup, while also softening your skin with light Olay moisture and vitamin E, leaving it clean and touchably soft, all in one easy step.
These velvety cloths have a special "lift and lock" texture that corners dirt and makeup to thoroughly cleanse your skin. They even remove waterproof mascara. For a smooth, comfortable feel."
Melissa Says: While these are absolutely amazing at removing facial makeup and providing very light exfoliation (thanks to two textured sides that don't irritate the skin but do the job), I thought they were less effective on my waterproof mascara than some other facial cloths I've tried. In every other way, I love these. They're a bit larger than some comparable facial cloths and are quite effective, leaving skin feeling clean and not stripped of moisture.

Olay Body Wash Plus Crème Ribbons
What They Say: "If you like the feel of a creamy moisturizer, use Olay body wash plus creme ribbons--the first body wash to add an actual ribbon of creme. Olay body wash plus creme ribbons wraps your skin in a fragrant, luxurious lather that moisturizes skin in just one use, and visibly improves skin in just 5 days!
In the shower, squeeze a small amount of product onto a wet puff. Lather and rinse. You can also enjoy a soft, smooth shave by using Olay body wash plus creme ribbons as a shaving lotion."
Melissa's DeLush Downlow: I had high hopes for this stuff, simply because what they say sounds so promising. However, I wasn't incredibly impressed. Yes, the product feels nice and smooth in the shower, but after the shower for the most part my skin didn't feel significantly softer. Even after several days, I didn't notice the improvements that they promised in skin condition. At least, no more than your typical moisturizing body wash. The scent is pleasant enough, faintly floral and fresh. But for the most part, this didn't stand out for me.

Olay Moisturinse In-Shower Body Lotion for Normal to Dry Skin
What They Say: "Replace your ordinary lotion with a revolutionary rinse-off body lotion! Olay Moisturinse works with the warmth and humidity of your shower to reveal soft, smooth skin after 1 use. Daily use will improve hydration of dry skin in 5 days."
Melissa's DeLush Downlow: I can't argue with Olay on this one. My skin was definitely soft after the first use, and after several times, I got pretty used (READ: Addicted) to the feeling. It was sort of nice to get the moisturizing out of the way before I got out of the shower...and it was a bit easier, too. There are some lotions that could give you the same effect, but this has definitely got convenience on its side. When you put it on, you feel a bit slick, so be careful! My only real unfulfilled wish is that the smell was less...perfumey. That could definitely be improved.

Olay Complete Plus Ultra Rich Day Cream
I spend an unreal amount of money on moisturizers. A lot of highly recommended moisturizers are so expensive, and you've got to have your day moisturizer with SPF in it and the night moisturizer with some kind of magical retinol-type ingredient in it. I decided to stop the madness for once with this last moisturizer purchase, and pick out something from my drugstore's shelves.
What They Say: "Designed for maturing skin. Revitalizes the skin's appearance with a hydrating complex of vitamins E and B3, pro-vitamins B5 and A and intensive Olay moisture. Provides broad spectrum UVA and UVB (SPF 15) protection to minimize, even help prevent age spots and future skin damage to keep your skin stay younger looking. "
Jen's Experience: I'm so picky. But I have to be, because my skin dries up if I look at it funny. On the other hand, if I get something too oily or harsh, I break out like crazy (and then I have to treat the acne and I get dry spots....you see the problem here). This moisturizer claims to be for very dry skin, so I thought I would give it a shot. A lot of rich moisturizers don't work well under foundation. Lucky for me, this one works great. When I first got it, I thought it would be too thick. I applied it and my skin instantly felt more hydrated. Yet within minutes, the moisturizer soaked into my skin, leaving it hydrated but not at all greasy. And, although it is quite rich when I am slathering it on, I still feel like my face can breathe! I applied my makeup with no problems, and made it through the day without developing any patches of dry skin. For dry, sensitive skin like mine, this product is a miracle.

Melissa's DeLush Downlow: Eye creams are abundant out there, and I'm always confused about which ones to try. Sometimes I'm wholly disappointed by the lack of noticeable effect, and other times, like now, I am thoroughly pleased. I am a fan of the Olay skin care line anyway, so I wasn't very apprehensive about trying this. The cream is very soothing, and has an instant lightening effect. I believe there's a slight tint that helps add to the brightness. My eyes feel incredibly refreshed after applying it.
User Tips: Use a light hand when applying. Dot it around your eyes with your ring or pinky finger and give it a few minutes to absorb into the skin before applying anything over it. I use this morning and night.
Retail Price: $18.99 (drugstore.com and drugstores everywhere)
