Today I am going to review Olay Fresh Effects Shine Minimizing Cleanser.
This is a new Cleanser that Olay has come out with. This is more directed towards younger women and teenagers. I know the Fresh Effects Line comes with make up towels, BB Cream, Moisturizer, and a Cleanser with a Brush. I only have the Shine Go Away Cleanser.
I have used this for about 3 weeks now and I like it. I don't exactly love it though. I have oily skin and I thought this would be perfect for me. The cleanser is a creamy type, I always prefer the scrubs though. It is a cream and what I don't like about it is that once you dry your face, if make your face feel tight and leaves it dry. When I first used it I washed my face, wiped my face with a towel and after 5 minutes I looked in the mirror and I had patched of white dry skin. Even though it did that, every cream cleanser I've washed my face with has done that to my face, I just put a moisturizer and it goes away.
Another thing was that the main selling point of this cleanser is that it is suppose to make shine go away
As you can see on the bottle it says "Shine Shine Go Away!". Well like I said before, I have very oily skin and thought I would be perfect to test this claim. Well, I tried it and like all the other products that claim it gets rid of shine, this does not. =/ I was really hoping it does, I will give it credit that it does for a while, but once you got out and after an hour or two, I started to see my face get oily and shiny.
One good thing about this is that it states is has the power of a facial mask but cleans as good a a cleanser. This is very true! I have a mask I use from avon and after using this I feel the same satisfaction I would get if I did use the Avon Mask. I really felt it cleansed my face and I did notice I didn't get any pimples while using this. I am in my early 20s and still get acne but after using this I did see I hardly got any acne.
Over all I give this product a B. I would've given it a C but I love that it felt like it cleansed my skin pretty good and had noticeably less acne. Even though it did all that, I gave it this grade because it didn't make the shine go away on my face. But since everyone's skin is different maybe this cleanser will work better for you than it did me.
