Olay Refreshing Face Wash 150ml

I have combination skin that is readily happy to break out into spots at the drop of a hat if I don't keep it under control with the right products. After years of looking for and perfecting my ideal skincare routine I was slightly panicked when I discovered that my preferred type of face wash had been discontinued. After searching for it in vain I resigned myself to the fact that I was going to have to buy an alternative product. After discounting several products due to past experience, I decided to buy Olay Gentle Cleansers Refreshing face wash - encouraged even more so by the fact that it was on offer at £2 (usual price is around £2.99).

For something that should be so easy, I find washing my face quite difficult! That may sound a strange statement but I am not someone who can just wash my face in soap and water, as it will leave my skin feeling very dry.

I love Olay products and have a good range of the day and night cream, the everyday moisturiser and some of the makeup. I have used the face wash and was really pleased with it. It is for normal, dry, combination skin and contains witch hazel. You only need a small amount, about the size of a 50p as it lathers up really well. The best way to apply is if you wet your face first, then apply a small amount, lather up and gently rub over your face and neck in a circular motion, so as not to stretch your skin, then rinse well. It leaves you with a lovely fresh feeling and it does not dry out your face as other products do. It can cost between £3 and £4 but as you ...  Read the complete review
