I didn't really like this product... I felt like the smell makes me feel like I'm putting on perfume, it smells really strong and I'm not sure that is good for my face. Every time I used this, I broke out like crazy. Maybe my skin doesn't like it, maybe the product just isn't good. Either way, not repurchasing.

I received this product in a sample box sometime last summer. I have combo skins which tends to break out every now and then.... at the same time I switched to a bb face cream and have not been happier with the results ....I ran out of this face wash and me and my skindid not enjoy the stand in replacement.. I started breaking out and not feeling as good at all...until I got my play again;) the facewash is thick and very creamy. You only need a small amount it lasted me almost 4 months!!! That's unheard of so I was paying around 13.00 but have found it at Giant Tiger for 7.46 so got to love that price...I would have paid whatever anyway.it makes my skin feel clean,shine free and breakout free.
I would give it a million stars;).

Does well , feel's nice a cool feeling take away that shine.

I bought it thinking another product that promises no shine and grease let's try it. I use it every morning and before going to bed. It is a cream base cleanser, with just a bit it goes a long way! it leaves my face feeling clean and most important non-greasy and no shne. I recommended very much!

I was quite surprised by how well this not only kept my face feeling clean, but it really does minimize any shine! My face feels refreshed every time I use it, Love it!

Olay Fresh Effects {Shine, Shine Go Away!} Shine Minimizing Cleanser claims to provide a "deep-down to the pores clean" that "lathers and rinses like a daily cleanser to remove 2X more dirt, oil and make-up than basic cleansing". Being a guy, I cannot attest to its ability to remove make-up, however, I do have oily skin and can comment to its effectiveness in addressing that issue.

The product emits from its stand-up tube as a silver cream (oh, we're talking beauty products here...I meant "creme"). The "creme" is silver: in fact, it shines like silver would, which in itself is 'unconventional'. Add to this the fact that the product is made in China, and all of a sudden this is seeming less like a face cleanser and more like a health hazard. Appearance (and unfair prejudgment based on the country of origin) aside, let's move on to effectiveness. Lathering one's face with the product does not provide a rich, frothy lather as soap would, but rather creates a thin layer of slick product across the face. One good benefit of the product is that it takes very little product to create such a lather: perhaps but a 1 cm line of product. The product applies fine, and rinsing it away is fairly easy as well. The odour, once rinsed off, is stronger than soap, but nonetheless pleasant and fades away with time. Unfortunately, the product does not give the 'clean' sensation as soap does, in that, after washing your face with this product, your face emits a pleasant smell and the presence of facial oil is diminished, however, instead of your skin feeling tight and clean as it does after washing your face with soap, your face still feels oily, as if you had simply splashed water on your face in the morning without actually cleaning your face in any manner. So although appearance and odour-wise the product works as advertised, after-wash sensation-wise the product leaves this tester's face feeling unclean and oily. It would also seem that oil buildup on the face returns quicker after washing one's face with this product than when washing one's face with soap.

For 150 ml of product, Olay Fresh Effects {Shine, Shine Go Away!} Shine Minimizing Cleanser retails at Wal-Mart Canada for $7.97, and although it takes very little of this product to build up a lather and wash one's face, the price is still much higher than that of conventional soap, which not only leaves the user's skin feeling much cleaner, but also serves more than one purpose: such as the ability to also wash one's hands and body with.

I received a sample of this is a sample box and absolutely love it! Leaves skin feeling soft and clean and minimizes shine. I have bought 2 full size of the cleanser already. Price is right, especially if you wait for it to go on sale!

I recently recieved a free sample of olay shine control lathering cleanser. I was a little apprehensive since i've had bad experiences with facewashes and products in general (for example: my face literally peeling off). However, it exceeded all of my expactations and then some. Dont let the weird silver color turn you away from this amazing product. After one week of use, my skin felt tighter, i could see my pores shrinking, and my annoying stubs of ance that i could never get rid of were gone. I can feel how much cleaner my skin is. i highly recommend this product, and i really hope that everyone gets to try it because I can really see the difference its made for me and i hope it does the same for you!
