good morning wash

Posted on07/09/12 05:11 PM
i prefer to use this cleanser/scrub in the morning. it's very refreshing and i LOVE the scent, smells very fresh & clean. it's nice and foaming and leaves my skin feeling very fresh. everything about this cleanser screams fresh, clean skin!h i use a more medicated acne wash for the evenings.

Fabulous!

I'll admit I bought this only because it looked like a candy cane and it was on sale, but this is absolutely the best facial cleanser I've ever used. It doesn't have that "gritty" feel, but it totally exfoliated all my dead skin, took all the dirt out (I work in a dirty environment) and my pores were smaller and tighter after just one use.
I also wakes my skin up, although I haven't noticed any kind of smell. I'll keep buying this and take another look at Olay.

Another Average Product

Posted on05/08/12 06:10 AM
I had bought this product after seeing the commercials with Carrie Underwood and reading several reviews. I have used Olay products before and had amazing results so I expected the same with this product. Sadly, it didn't work near as well as the facial wipes. It has a nice smell which I like, but it doesn't make my pores less visible or control my oil and it didn't help clear the few pimples/zits that i have. I don't recommend this product if you are trying to control oil, get rid of pimples, but it's a good product if you just want to maintain your clear skin.

Best face wash ever!

Posted on04/02/12 02:56 AM
I absolutely LOVE this face wash. I tried many others over the years claiming to minimize pores and none of them made any difference. But this one did. I love how it feels, and it does exactly what it is supposed to. I use this every morning and night. The scent is amazing too. I actually enjoy washing my face, maybe something to do with the scent...its relaxing. I also use Total Effects Revitalizing Foaming Cleanser; Total Effects Tone Correcting Eye Treatment (formerly definity eye illuminating); Purely Pristine body wash & bar, to name a few. All are just amazing and smell great. Please never stop making any of these!!

This was my first time using this product and I noticed within the first couple of days that my skin looked firmer and my pores smaller. I love the smell and that it doesn't dry your skin out. I have to say that I've never had any product work this well.

Just OK!

Posted on10/03/11 03:10 PM
I have been using the foaming face cleanser for sensitive skin for many years but thought I would give this a try.....I didn't like. I wanted to, but found that after using as the day progressed my face became itchy. With the other cleanser my face felt clean and hydrated, this one left it feeling like it had a "layer" on it.
I will possibly try one of the Regenergist cleansers but otherwise will go back to my Original Olay foaming cleanser!!

Love this cleanser!

Posted on09/20/11 02:28 PM
As a fair skinned woman with sensitive, dry skin, I spent several years trying to find a product that would leave my face feeling clean, smooth, and refreshed without drying it out or causing irritation. The Olay pore minimizing cleanser and scrub is the best product I have ever tried. A friend of mine introduced me to the product while on vacation - she let me use her cleanser after I realized I had forgotten my own. I have used this product ever since. It has been over a year now, and my skin is much clearer on a more consistent basis since using this product. I am a newlywed, and having clear skin on my wedding day was of utmost importance to me. Olay didn't let me down! Aside from the fact that it is a wonderful product, you can't beat the price. I tried some very expensive cleansers and scrubs prior to finding this one, and none yielded a better result that this less-than-$10 product. Thank you Olay for helping make me more confident!

I've only been using this for about a week now, and I have to say I already see a huge difference in my skin! My face feels smooth, my mild acne is clearing up, and because it shrinks my pores my makeup goes on better! So happy I bought this!

So far so good

Posted on07/24/11 11:41 PM
This is my first time using an Olay product. I saw a commercial for this and read great reviews about it online and figured I'd try it since I ran out of my old one. I have combination and sensitive skin and most cleansers irritate my face. This one is great. It doesn't dry out my skin or irritate it. It leaves it clean and feeling great. As a scrub it doesn't feel like it's scratcing my face either. It smells nice too. I think this might be my new favorite.

I am prone to black heads and white heads and since using this product i have seen a difference. I have less blackhead and white heads reappearing and the pores are definitely smaller. Thanks Olay for making a great product affordable.

Such a great purchase!!!! =D

Posted on03/31/11 09:01 PM
I just wanted somehting that would clean my face and make my pores look smaller and help prevent imples becuase I don't really have them as bad as some other people yet and I don't really want to start so I found this and thought I would try it out. Well, this product blew my mind and went above and beyond what my expectations were. It's one of the most successful products I have ever bought. After I wash my face with this before school it refreshes me and wakes me up! My face feels smooth and flawless! Can't get better than this product PLUS the price is completely affordable and worth it! =)

As a cosmetologist, I need to have close to perfect skin and personally using this product in combination with other Olay products I have achieved what I couldn't with even the most expensive products in the salon market.

Love the clean/clear feel of my skin after washing with Olay Dual Action. I've never had this smooth skin feeling all day/all night!
The Olay Dual Ation also has the best smell!!!!! I could wash my face for hours!

AMAZING!

Posted on02/03/10 05:40 PM
I would never usually go and write a review like this but i have to say this is the best face wash i have EVER used. Its so amazing as soon as i put it on my face it already felt clean! I was skeptical at first because i know how "scrubs" usually tear up and dry out my face, but this product is so gentle and moisturizing to top it, i just cant believe it and the price is so low. I don't know if its meant to be used for breakouts but i know since I've started using it, I've not had any breakouts! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! i would recommend it to EVERYONE.
