One of my earliest memories of watching my Mom do her makeup was setting on this little bench in her bathroom watching her, right before she tucked my siblings and I into bed at night, wash her face and smearing on some Olay moisturizer.
So when the folks at Olay asked if I wanted to try their new line of products I couldn’t help but think of my Mom and say yes.

The new Olay Fresh Effects products are designed to leave your skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated. I was excited to try the S’Wipe Out!- Refreshing Make-up Removal Cloths, because honestly when it comes to my bed time routine, I just want to get it done quickly so that I can curl up in my comfy bed and finally rest my tired head on my soft pillow after a long day. I have tried many different brands of cloths like this but I liked how moist these cloths were and how they really did leave my face feeling fresh and clean with no lingering makeup (yuck!).

Below are all the new Olay products part of the Fresh Effects line:

  • Va-Va-Vivid!- Powered Contour Cleansing System: This powerful brush with super-soft, supple bristles gently massages your skin for a healthy-looking glow and a full-face cleansing. 
  • Shine, Shine Go Away!- Shine Minimizing Cleanser: This cleanser has all the purifying power of a mask, but lathers and rinses like a daily cleanser to remove 2X more dirt, oil, and make-up than basic cleansing. 
  • Bead Me Up!- Exfoliating Cleanser: Foaming bubbles and exfoliating microbeads come together to gently purify and lift away dirt, while softly scrubbing your skin for a beautifully fresh, healthy look. 
  • S’Wipe Out!- Refreshing Make-up Removal Cloths: These special pre-moistened cloths are covered in cottony-soft cleansing pockets to lift away dirt and makeup – even waterproof mascara – in a flash. 
  • Long Live Moisture!- Satin Finish Lotion: Lose the shine and get satiny active moisturizers keeping your skin soft and smooth for up to 24-hours! 
  • BB Cream!- Skin Perfecting Tinted Moisturizer with Sunscreen: An all-in-one solution for instantly brighter-looking, smoother-feeling, more even skin tone.

    I too grew up watching my mother apply Olay, she always said it kept her skin smooth and healthy. I use olay moisturizing cream every day and every night, i am very excited about the whole new line but cannot absolutely wait to try the S’Wipe Out Cloths and the Bead Me Up Exfoliating Cleanser 🙂

  8. charj says

    I am interested in trying the Bead Me Up!- Exfoliating Cleanser. As far as beauty routine, just soap and water and a moisturizer if my skin is really dry.

  9. JennT1981 says

    I would love to try their BB Cream!- Skin Perfecting Tinted Moisturizer with Sunscreen. My beauty routine is a fairly simple one. I've never been much of a make-up girl, so if I wear any at all it's very minimal and usually mostly natural products.

  21. JC says

    I'm most excited to try BB Cream!- Skin Perfecting Tinted Moisturizer with Sunscreen. My daily skin care routine- cleanser, facial cream, sunscreen.

  27. Jessica To says

    I want to try the S'wipe Out – Make-up Removal Cloths. I wash my face, use a moisturizer and put on night cream.

  29. Karin says

    I'd like to try the S’Wipe Out!- Refreshing Make-up Removal Cloths. I don't have much of a beauty routine. Wash my face… sometimes use a little moisturizer.

    I don't have much of a skin care routine. I use moisturizer but that's about it.

    I'd like to try the Bead Me Up! product because I really like the exfoliating cleaners. I usually don't wear make-up so my daily routine is just cleaning my face with products in the shower, making it easy to rinse.

  77. LauraJJ says

    Oh I would love to try the Fresh Effects S’Wipe Out!- Refreshing Make-up Removal Cloths!

    I'd like to try the Bead Me Up!- Exfoliating Cleanser. I currently use some random cleaner…don't even know what kind it is…with exfoliating.

  84. Sadie says

    S’Wipe Out!- Refreshing Make-up Removal Cloths sound great to try. I like to use wipes at night.

  88. Dana says

    My routine is pretty simple, wash and moisturize. So I would be interested in trying any of the cleansers or moisturizers.

  91. Sarah says

    I am more diligent about a morning routine than an evening routine. I would like to try the cleansing cloths to try and get me in the habit of cleansing at night.
