Olay Cleanse Refresh & Glow Cleansing Toner, All Skin Types, 200 ml

Product Information

You’ll also notice that Olay skin care products are formulated with high concentrations of humectants (like glycerin and panthenol) and silicones (like dimethicone).

For sensitive skin: Dr. Brankov recommends choosing a hydrating toner that contains moisturizing ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid. Other skin-soothing ingredients to look for include chamomile and rosewater, she adds. In addition, make sure its formula is free from fragrance and alcohol as they could irritate sensitive skin, says Dr. Zeitany. Dr. Brankov recommends trying Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist or Paula’s Choice Skin Recovery Enriched Calming Toner. For people with skin that’s easily irritated, Hartman points to calming ingredients, such as niacinamide, aloe vera, and vitamin C “to reduce inflammation and ensure that the toner doesn’t dry the skin out too much.”

Like all of the products in this collection, the formula includes palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, or what Olay refers to as the “collagen peptide”.

For oily or acne-prone skin: Look for solutions labeled 'oil free' or 'non-comedogenic," suggests Dr. Zeitany. The key ingredients to look for include alpha and beta hydroxy acids such as salicylic acid, lactic acid and glycolic acid. These ingredients help exfoliate the skin by mopping up excess oil and removing dead skin cells. "They can also help minimize the appearance of your pores and reduce breakouts," adds Dr. Zeitany.
