Olay's new single-use Cleansing Melts are water-activated and dissolve into microbubbles to clear skin of excess oil and sweat. According to the brand, eight ingredients are spun into nearly two miles of threads and woven into a unit.
The compact daily facial cleansers are meant to be run under water for a few seconds to activate, rubbed to create a rich lather, then applied to the face and rinsed. These three-step Cleansing Melts for all skin tones and types are available in targeted formulas like Vitamin C, and fragrance-free Retinol or Hyaluronic Acid.
These gentle cleansers support even the most sensitive skin and leave the skin barrier undisrupted so their skin can remain refreshed and comfortable to the touch.
