I’ve been reaching for it during the colder winter months on days when hand cream doesn’t do enough for the dry skin on my hands. Other nourishing ingredients include panthenol (pro-vitamin B-5) which soothes the skin, and meadowfoam seed oil, a lightweight and hydrating oil derived from the meadowfoam plant. As I was drying myself with my towel, I immediately felt the difference in my skin after using the conditioner. My skin felt soft and smooth in a luxurious way!

I must say that I was pleasantly surprised as it was an easy way to add extra moisture to your skin in the shower. Apply in the Shower After Cleansing, Rinse & Pat Dry During this time of the year after a long winter, regardless of how much I moisturize, I always need to exfoliate and to get an even skin tone. The powder is activated by water and turns into a lather. You pour a small amount into your wet hand and work the powder into a lather. On days that I don’t apply a moisturizer after this treatment, my skin still feels soft and moisturized all day. The more I use this product, the more I like it! Olay Rinse-Off Body Conditioner is best suited for those with dry skin. Many with sensitive skin love it too, and even though it contains some fragrance, it’s not likely to cause a reaction since you rinse off the conditioner pretty much straight away. How To UseRetinol, a derivative of vitamin A, is the ultimate over-the-counter anti-ager and helps to stimulate collagen formation and increase cell turnover. It can brighten the skin while minimizing the appearance of pores. Retinol improves skin tone making it appear firmer and brighter with better clarity. (Over-the-counter retinol products take longer to see results than prescription retinoids.)

Olay Nighttime Rinse-Off Body Conditioner with Retinol works overnight to stop dry skin. This in-shower body conditioner is formulated with similar active ingredients to the Olay retinol body wash above. Retinol resurfaces and firms in this daily lotion treatment, while shea butter eliminates dryness and irritation.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) helps to visibly improve dullness, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin tone while strengthening the skin moisture barrier.I let the lather linger for maybe more than 3 minutes before washing it off. Just like your regular hair conditioner, the coat felt rather slippery yet silky and suave. I honestly don’t love the slippery texture of the lather because it just takes more rubbing and washing.

These Olay retinol products contain Olay’s Vitamin B3 Complex, retinol, and retinyl propionate to replenish skin while you sleep. Anyone who struggles with clogged pores on their face should invest in Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Lotion, a holy grail for clearing sebaceous glands and smoothing your face.

I dedicated an entire post to this amazing ingredient: The Benefits of Adding Niacinamide to your Skincare Routine. This might work well for travel. I would not use this on my face as it seems to be better formulated to be a body product. So today, I’ll discuss several Olay products that I’ve added to my body skincare routine in this Olay Body skincare review.The retinol and Vitamin B3 Complex mix promotes softer, brighter skin. Plus, hydrating ingredients make this treatment gentle enough for everyday use. Since retinol can make your skin sensitive to UV rays, the best time of day to use these two products is in the evening. They are ideal for dry, normal, and combination/oily skin. Olay Retinol Body Wash Review After giving my body a thorough scrub in the shower, I squirt a quarter-size dollop of the creamy formula into my hands before slathering it on my body. The first time I used it, I immediately felt the difference between this and standard lotions. Though it's creamy and lightweight like many body moisturizers, when you rub it in, it has a consistency similar to hair conditioner as it coats your skin. I let it sit on my skin for two or three minutes, similar to what I would do with my hair conditioner, and then rinsed it off. I actually felt the shea butter and nourishing vitamin B3 turning my skin into the softest, smoothest version of itself. Olay Body Milk is a lightweight no-frills body moisturizer. It is formulated to provide long-lasting 48-hour hydration. The serum is formulated with multi-tasking niacinamide (vitamin B3), which helps to improve the look of dullness, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone and texture.

While we often spend time and money on facial skincare, it’s important to remember that the skin on the rest of our bodies needs attention too! Today I’d like to talk about skincare for the body and specifically body care products from Olay. According to dermatologist Dr. Zain Husain, “most body conditioners are to be applied all over the body as the last step in your shower routine—that means after you’ve washed your hair and used your shower gel.” When applied on wet skin, it can help the skin feel hydrated and protected, especially if you’re the steaming-hot shower type. Says Dr. Husain, “Moisturizing after taking a shower is extremely important, especially if you use hot water, as your skin will become dehydrated, thus leading to itchy skin and potential rashes.” And unless your skin is severely dry, an in-shower conditioner should be used in place of your body lotion. FYI: If you’re oily, applying too many layers can over-grease your skin, so you may want to skip the lotion if you’re using a body conditioner, says Dr. Husain.

I had to use a washcloth to get most of it off. It did not work for me at all. Maybe I did not apply it correctly, but it made a big mess. For a drugstore brand, I think Olay does a great job with their facial skincare products, but it has been a while since I’ve tried their body skincare products. The body conditioner is great value for money, it is wonderfully affordable and it’s also extremely effective.
