Review: Olay Warming Hydrating Cleanser

I picked up a tube of Olay Warming Hydrating Cleanser this past weekend simply because it was on the clearance rack at my local Walmart for only $3.50. When I see a deal like that I cannot pass it up for the life of me.

The whole idea of a warming cleanser intrigued me, because I had NEVER in my life seen, or used a cleanser that would warm my skin. I've used cooling cleansers that make the skin feel cooler, but that was only due to the mint extracts added to the cleanser. The idea of a warming cleanser; especially with the cooler months heading our way, seemed awesome.

Appearance:
 
Olay Warming Hydrating Cleanser comes in your classic squeeze tube, with your standard click up cap. The cleanser is pretty easy to spot due to its label, which says exactly what the cleanser is right on the tube.

The Promise:
 
According to the packaging using Olay Warming Hydrating Cleanser would warm skin allowing pores to open up to remove deep impurities.

My Use:
 
Okay, I was pretty shocked the first time using Olay Warming Hydrating Cleanser. I squeezed a small amount into the palms of my hands, and brought it to my face. It seemed the moment I began scrubbing the cleanser into my skin, it released a huge wave of warmth. I actually got scared for a moment because I thought it would heat up even more, and burn my skin.

The warming sensation though ended pretty fast. It seemed as quickly as it came, it also vanished.

Nonetheless though it was still hella interesting, and completely unexpected! I honestly did not think Olay Warming Hydrating Cleanser would actually warm up to such a degree, and so quickly.

The cleanser itself is green in color, and you can feel grainy scrubbing beads inside of the gel while you clean you face. The grains though are relatively gentle, but I wouldn't fully recommend Olay Warming Hydrating Cleanser to those with sensitive skin.

Scent:
 
The scent is nothing spectacular though. It has a clean and fresh scent, but it is also very subtle and does not last long at all.

Overall Results:
 
The results were also nothing really to write home about. Although it warmed my skin up pretty fast, and it was a really interesting a new feeling that I have never felt before, Olay Warming Hydrating Cleanser didn't really leave my skin feeling very fresh and clean after all was said and done.

All in all using Olay Warming Hydrating Cleanser is definitely different, and definitely an experience you may want to try, just to try it, however it does not really improve skin, leave it soft, or even feeling clean. It's sort of like a novelty wash, as it warms the skin. This is probably something many have never experienced when it comes to cleansers.

Where To Buy:
 
You can find Olay Warming Hydrating Cleanser at nearly any superstore, or online. Odds are you won't come across it for $3.50 though, seeing how normally it would cost $10.00 or more
