Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid! Powered Contour Cleansing System 1 Kit

I received this product from Influenster to try out. I've been a big fan of Olay already so I had pretty high expectations with this. The first time I used it, I could feel it tingling and after rinsing off, my face felt really fresh and was very soft to the touch. I was very surprised at how much power the little brush has.

The brush is great to reach places the creases on the side of your and the the T-zone area. I felt it help lather up the product as well as get it into my pores. I also think the brush is a great idea because other cleansers I use, you have to use your fingers and I feel a lot of product is wasted doing it this way. I didn't have to put a lot of product on the brush so I feel for the small amount it's definitely worth what it is cost.

The product has a pleasant smell which I love that because I hate products with a strong scent. I've used some products that the way it smelled, I felt it would do more harm then good. This has a fresh smell to me. I would definitely reccommend this to anyone who wants a clean and fresh face. This product won't dry you out like some other products may.

By the way I love the packaging and the colors. If I saw this in stores just the packaging alone would draw attention to my eyes. I will definitely be purchasing more and adding this product to my daily routine.

I've been going through some of the worst acne breakouts of my life. I purchased this little device along with some of the other fresh effects products just looking to try something new.

Instantly I noticed a difference in my skin after using it for the first time. Yes it is small, yes it's bristles are rubber... But it's perfect for getting deep into all the creases and edges of my face and because its bristles are rubber it is easy to keep clean. Every morning and every night my skin has felt like it has just received a facial at a spa. The shine free wash that usually comes with this product is not even all that good. It's alright. But I just ended up finding other face washes that I like and using them instead.

My skin has cleared up a lot now and I recommend this product to anyone just wanting something inexpensive and new.

I'm sure that fancy Olay pro-x thinga majiggy is nice but this works just fine for me and is way less money. :)

I am a huge skin care nut and have two Clarisonics for both of my homes. I travel a lot for work and I wanted something that can fit in my overnight computer roller bag that gives some extra cleansing ability my expectation is pretty low, just something better than manual cleansing using my hands.

Even with the low expectation, this product is a huge let down it doesn't do anything other than extreme weak microvibration, almost like a buzz but nothing more. No matter what I do, I cannot get my foaming cleanser to foam on my face. The head is made of silicone coated rubber'ish material, so they are big and not like normal brush bristles. There is simply not enough of them to create foam when you massage this on my skin in circular motions. You will have to use your hand directly if you want your cleanser to foam. Needless to say, my skin didn't look clean after a minute (as recommended) nor did it feel clean.

After looking at the unit with disappointment, I suddenly realize that I've seen this poor design before Oral-B Hummingbird Floss. Yup, P&G, which owns the Oral-B brand, decided to recoup its investment on that failure by coming up with a new attachment for face cleansing under the Olay brand. A bad idea and bad design, no matter how you package it and spin it, is still a failure.

This is totally a needless waste of money for something that doesn't work it's no more than an effort from P&G to reuse another bad idea and an attempt to sell more batteries for its Duracell division. You can buy a $2 facial cleansing brush and it will be far more effective than this thing!

UPDATE 2-11-2103: I was notified on Olay Comm Mgr's comment on my review, so I called P&G using the number listed. As expected, it's a general support number for Olay and the agent on the phone doesn't know what to do with my call. It was totally a needless phone call, and this got me even more irritated. I wanted to see if the "400% better clean" than "basic cleansing" claim is as bad as I believe it is, so I did another experiment. I smeared some kitchen grease on the back of my left hand and attempted to use this brush to clean my hand and it did not remove the smear but made my hand really red. I then reapply some more grease and use my right hand fingers to massage the same liquid cleanser and the grease smear was gone in 2-3 seconds. Therefore, I standby my feedback that this power cleaning system is completely useless, period.

I have mixed reviews about this brush. When I first opened the kit and pulled out the brush, I had a lackluster response to it. The small brush has tiny rubber bristles and when you turn it on and put it on your face, it feels like a tiny vibrator as opposed to a cleansing brush. I thought it was a dud and wouldn't cleanse very well. However, I started using the corners of the brush to get into those angles around the nose, eyes and forehead and thought it was really great at getting into those crevices. I realized it is a really good brush (or face vibrator) for getting into that T-zone area. After cleansing and drying, I really felt the effect. It surprisingly did a really good job. My face felt and feels very clean, and that was unexpected after seeing and feeling the brush.

I think many may have trouble with expecting one thing and getting something else in this kit. The brush is not what one expects because it is so small and because of the texture of the bristles, and because it feels more like vibration rather than scrubbing. However, It did a good job in cleansing without irritating my extremely sensitive skin, and I do like the results. Just understand this is not some powerful cleansing system. The brush is small and its vibration is not powerful, but its effect is very good.

**I haven't tested the cleanser however because the kit I received for testing only came with the brush so I can't tell you about it unfortunately.

So my boyfriend and I tried out this product, and well...as cute as it is, and as much as I wanted to really feel/see improvement, I didn't. It was very gentle on the face, but maybe it was too gentle. I really did enjoy the concept of it, but it did nothing for my acne.
