Olay Nighttime Rinse-off Body Conditioner With Retinol, 8 Fl. Ounce, 6 count

Product Information

This ultra-moisturizing lotion from Olay works to mend dry skin in the shower after you cleanse. Between its shea butter blend and the steam, this hydrating cream infuses skin with moisture, leaving skin up to 60% softer, smoother, and healthier-looking in just 5 days compared to untreated skin.

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 I don't know what it is about nearly boiling-hot water cascading over me that puts me at ease. In between mentally writing that article I haven't even pitched and imagining a million hypothetical scenarios that will never happen, I somehow find time for my body care, much of which takes place in the shower. While my facial skin-care regimen is a robust routine full of serums, toners, sunscreen, and more, my body care is much simpler; it's composed of cleansing and the occasional exfoliation before the lotions and body butters are piled on post-shower. Retinol and bakuchiol combine to supercharge the cellular renewal powers of vitamin A to intensely brighten, smooth, and soften in just 14 days. Meanwhile, caffeine helps boost your skin’s metabolism.When it comes to performance, I don’t think there are enough exfoliating grains in the powder to get a proper exfoliation. Just like you would use a clay mask on your face, you use this clay mask on your body to purify and remove dry skin. Kaolin clay gently exfoliates and detoxifies the skin and controls oiliness. 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. I really enjoy Olay’s facial care products and while I’ve tried their body washes in the past I didn’t know what to expect when it came to body exfoliators, conditioners, and masks.

Olay Body Milk is a lightweight no-frills body moisturizer. It is formulated to provide long-lasting 48-hour hydration. Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, is in this formula and it’s an ingredient often found in skincare products. 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.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.

However, it’s designed to be rinsed off and you may find that it’s too greasy to leave on the skin. It can also lead to irritation in sensitive skin so it’s not something I would recommend. There are plenty of amazing body lotions that are meant to leave on! Follow Up With My Favorite Body Lotions My Thoughts This body conditioner is similar to a body moisturizer with the main difference being, instead of using it after you shower, you use it during your shower. It’s a lot like a hair conditioner, except for your body. The retinol and Vitamin B3 Complex mix promotes softer, brighter skin. Plus, hydrating ingredients make this treatment gentle enough for everyday use.
