I saw this at Target and hesitated only a few seconds before buying it. I totally trust Oil of Olay, and I’d been wanting to try a fun new face product.

I tried it the next day in the shower and OMG I LOVE IT. You wet your face, and then put this stuff on, and it’s HOT. It’s actually HOT, like a hot face cloth. The heat is supposed to open your pores, and of course the steam from the shower helps out with that, too. The cleanser has little teensy particles in it, so I picture the little pores opening and then the little scrubbers going to work. You can re-activate the heat by adding a little more water, but it doesn’t add as much heat as the first wave.

I left it on for the rest of my shower (first pores! then scrubbers! now hydrating!) and then rinsed it off, and my skin felt GREAT: smooth and nice and slightly warm. I kept noticing during the day how nice my skin looked and felt. I’ve used it several times since, with the same result each time. You only need a little bit, like a dime-sized amount; the bottle is going to last forever.

My skin is on the dry side, but if you’re more of an oily person, they also have it in a purifying/clarifying version.

I love this stuff. If I were wealthy, I would bathe in it. —Swistle
