I only bought this product because I had a coupon, otherwise I probably wouldn't have looked at it.
It's difficult to apply, but it really does leave my skin noticeably softer and smoother.
Most traditional body lotions I've tried leave my skin sticky, not this one. It's a keeper!

Yuck! I love the Olay line, especially the liquid soap, but this one is a big loser. Tried it three times,and it never gave me any noticable moisture. It did make my shower hazardously slippery and smelled like the Olay serum--gross. Will not repurchase.

I just love this product. It rinses and leaves a touchable softness. Not oily or sticky what so ever. This still doesn't replace my Neutrogena sesame oil for the summer, but does a dang good job for everyday moisture. A keeper!!

This stuff is great! It really does moisturize my skin well. The smell is a little strong at first but not too bad after you get used to it. I'm on my second bottle. I would def. recommend this to anyone who has dry skin and hates to use regular body lotion.

I got this in Walgreens on sale for $2.99. Took it home and had to try it immediately. Its like conditioner for your skin.. First you use your regular body wash, rinse, then apply this stuff like lotion and then rinse it off. And it really does make a huge difference! My skin felt silky, soft and so smooth after I used it.

Ok i have been mixing this with my st ives collagen and elastin body wash to make my skin softer and add more moisturizing properties to the body wash and i think it works great to keep skin softer than normal. i feel like most body washes are so harsh and this buffers that harshness. i might just use it by itself and skip the body wash on extra dry days with a loofah so i feel like i've cleansed myself but for now i will continue to mix with body wash.

I am liking this product, tho I meant to buy the regular, not the extra dry. It moisturizes enough for my skin & saves me the longer time it takes for my lotion to sink in if I did it after my shower. The smell is fine to me, I don't see what is so horrible about it. Probably will repurchase.UPDATE: Have repurchased but this time I bought the regular. Now I use the dry skin type on my legs and the normal on the rest of me. Works fine-I really like this stuff and so does my husband!!

I like this product for two reasons: It gives me an opportunity to get some moisture on my skin quickly on busy mornings when I might otherwise skip a body lotion; and it gives me an extra layer of moisture on the days when I DO have the time to use a body lotion. I am really liking this product and am about to purchase my second bottle.


I think this product adds some moisture but is not a substitute for a real body lotion, cream or butter. It's just not the same type of moisture.


This product is easy to use, rinses off easily without leaving a residue, smells great in the shower but doesn't leave a strong scent on the skin that will interfere with whatever body lotion and fragrance you will be wearing that day, and doesn't make the bath tub slippery (which is something I feared would happen).


Definitely a repurchase for me - this is quick and convenient and priced right at my local Wal-Mart at only $3.67.

Pointless. Didn't contribute anything above and beyond my Shikai body wash. Waste of money (and time - it's time consuming in the shower - who needs that extra step??)

I like Olay products, so I really wanted to like this. The few few days it seemed ok, and I was happy that I could toss the body lotion. I think the smell is fine. But after using it for a couple of weeks, my skin is back to dry and itchy. I will use it up, but I won't buy it again.

This stuff isn't worthless, but I won't buy it again. It's a good idea would be worth it if it actually moisturized like Bath & Body Works' in-shower moisturizer. It just didn't do much for my skin. I think using a regular shower/body oil works much better for this sort of thing.

The scent doesn't bother me at all!! I like it!
This stuff is wonderful for gals like me who are too lazy to put on lotion after their shower. It's not as moisturizing as a thick lotion, but it did keep my normally itchy dry skin feeling nice and soft. I haven't used it for the 5 days yet but things are looking good! Will definitely buy this again!!

I ordered this off the Olay website before it was in stores ... I had to try it! I loved the idea, but the smell ...
I couldn't get past the smell, it was SO strong. I noticed it did slightly moisturize (still needed lotion) and you have to use a lot of this (2 tubes a month I would guess, but its cheap) but the smell ...
I ended up throwing away the rest of my tube, the smell was just horrible. I am hoping dove or another brand comes out with a product like this.

Remember the horse on Ren and Stimpy?Well-to quote him,no sir,I didn't like it.Great concept,too highly fragranced for me and I had a hard time getting it to stay on in the shower(I know that it's SUPPOSED to rinse off,but there was no grace period between application and rinsing,it ran right off.)Back to the drwaing board.

I wanted to like this product because I'm really happy with Olay products in general. I got a small amount of moisture as opposed to not using it. It is convenient and I'll use it up, but probably not repurchase. It's good when you're in a hurry, but I still get better moisture from a body creme after the shower

I've only used this product once, but already the scent is so strong that I don't think I'll be able to use it again. It smells like extra-strong hairspray; a highly chemical scent. The description says that you become more moisturized with each use, so I can only assume that it builds up over time on your skin. The idea of this terrible scent becoming stronger than it is now (and not washing off) is just too much for me. If you don't mind smelling like a bottle of Aquanet, this does seem to moisturize a bit, but you also get a somewhat coated feeling (more so than with regular moisturizers). Basically, it's building up a film on your body over time. The old-fashioned moisturizing method is a little less convenient, but you have to rub the Olay stuff all over yourself anyway, so you might as well just stick with regular moisturizer and not smell like a chem lab.

This product isn't available in stores until this summer so I ordered from the Olay website. It cost $5.50 for an 8.4 oz tube and came w/free shipping. It's a lotion that you apply in the shower. You wash and rinse as you normally do, then smooth this on your skin. It's not foamy or gel-like, it's creamy. You start with a quarter-size amount for each area of the body and adjust as needed. Then you rinse it off. I let mine absorb while I washed my face and then rinsed it off. It says it "works with the warmth and humidity of your shower to reveal soft, smooth skin after 1 use. Daily use will improve hydration of dry skin in 5 days." Pros: My skin felt soft in places, I love the concept, the smell, the free shipping. Cons: Those sensitive to fragrance will not like this,I would probably use too much and have to replace it too often, I still felt a little dry in some places. To be perfectly fair, I don't moisturize or exfoliate my skin on a regular basis like I should to begin with. This is probably ok for summer but you might still need moisturizer. In the winter you will definitely need additional moisturizer. I sure do love the smell though! It's a clean scent that I can't quite put my finger on. That alone makes me want to repurchase. I tried using it on my hands overnight because they are so dry. It made them feel so heavy and greasy but it eventually sank in. Update: The more I use this, the more I like it. I ordered 4 more tubes from the website. I thought I'd use it too quickly to justify the cost but there's enough in each tube to last at least a month. I've found it's best to wash, shave, exfoliate, and then use this for best results. Ingredients: water, petrolatum, dimethicone, glycerin, fragrance, cetyl hydroxyethylcellulose, stearyl alcohol, dimethiconol, cetyl alcohol, montmorillonite, dmdm hydantoin, phenoxyethanol, disodium edta, iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, stearamidopropyl dimethylamine, glutamic acid. Whew!
