I had a little bit of money left on an amazon voucher and since I needed a new facewash I thought I would use the money to get one online. Although I have to be slightly careful in my choice of facewash since I have sensitive skin, I do tend to have a couple of face washes on the go, so there is less chance of a reaction. Olay is not a brand that I have ever tried before, but when I saw this gentle refreshing cleansing facewash on offer at £2 on amazon, I thought it was a great price and worth trying.

This facewash claims to be alcohol free as well as being mild enough to be used as an everyday cleanser. This wash contains extracts of cucumber and aloe and states that it will revitalise and cleanse the skin of everyday dirt and make up but at the same time not over dry it.

As I said at the beginning, I have a couple of face washes/scrubs on the go at any one time, but I have been using this face wash for well over three weeks now at least every other day in the morning or evening, and I have had no adverse reaction to it. When you first open the tube and apply it to your face there is a nice light scent that lingers on your hands. Once you apply this to your face a great lather can be built up using only a very small amount of product, which means this is a good 'value for money' face wash. After washing this off my face, I definitely feel my skin cleansed and make up removed, although it won't fully remove mascara from the lashes. There is no tightness and there is certainly no dryness later on, and in fact my skin feels soft and smooth.

To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive about using this product, and really was drawn to it for the price. My mother who has sensitive skin had previously tried an Olay product and had a bad reaction to it, but I have had none, although I haven't been using it twice a day or daily. For the price, it actually does what it claims to do which I was impressed with, so all in all, I would buy this again as a facewash. I like the light scent, the cleanliness of my skin after use and most of all the price!
