Olay Facial Cleansing Melts Review

While they each have different active ingredients, all three Olay Cleansing Melts formulas are claimed to cleanse, tone, and refresh the skin. According to Michelle Henry, MD, a dermatologist and founder of Skin & Aesthetic Surgery of Manhattan in New York City, hyaluronic acid is great for hydration, while vitamin C is an antioxidant you should reach for if you want to brighten your skin.

Corey L. Hartman, a dermatologist and founder of Skin Wellness Dermatology in Birmingham, Ala., adds that hyaluronic acid works to draw moisture from the environment into the deeper layers of the skin, and retinol can help with cellular turnover, exfoliation, uneven skin tone, and fine lines and wrinkles.

In a cleanser, an active ingredient is “more gentle than when you [use it] in a leave-on capacity,” Henry says.

Our team had a lot to look forward to.
