Olay Introduces New Body-Care Products for Glowing Skin
Olay has established itself as a household name for decades, with its history even preserved at the Smithsonian. The brand began with a classic bar of soap in the 1990s, but its body-care line has evolved significantly over the last 30 years. Modern products now feature ingredient lists that resemble those found on face serums, incorporating active compounds that target specific skin concerns below the neck.
Super Serum Body Wash Options
The formula for normal skin relies on salicylic acid to clear dead surface cells and niacinamide to support the skin barrier. It also contains a signaling peptide and vitamins C and E. The alternative version for rough and bumpy skin adds glycolic acid to the mix, helping to address uneven texture and stubborn bumps.
Both cleansers use a specialized delivery system that separates the cleansing agent from the active ingredients. This design ensures the serum-like components cling to the skin rather than rinsing away immediately. Dermatologist Debra Jaliman notes that this approach makes dry skin vanish after just a few uses.
This product pairs hyaluronic acid and glycerin to attract and hold water. It includes lipids to slow water loss, ensuring the skin remains soft even after toweling off.
Targeted Treatments and Body Oils
Olay also produces specialized lotions and oils designed to address specific issues. It also uses lactic acid, which gently exfoliates dull surface cells.
Topical collagen molecules are too large to penetrate deeply, so this product focuses on hydration to create a smoother, less crepey appearance. It contains petrolatum and fatty acids to lock in moisture, though users report it feels lightweight rather than greasy.
It combines safflower, castor, and jojoba oils with squalane to soften dry skin. The formula also includes bakuchiol, a plant-derived alternative to retinol, and peptides to support firmness over time. A sweet, warm fragrance rounds out the experience.
Indulgent Options and Finishing Touches
This option provides a creamy lather and a scent inspired by floral notes. The formula includes niacinamide to brighten the complexion and panthenol to hydrate and soften the skin.
