Came, Swapped, Conquered: Olay Moisture Outlast Body Wash Swap + Product Review

Last March 28, 2015, Robinson’s Ermita witnessed what could probably be the most epic bath swap for this season: Olay Moisture Outlast Body Wash Swap.

Dozens and dozens of people flocked to Midtown Atrium and swapped their bath soaps to experience Olay’s new body wash. I was invited to partake in the experience and being the body wash monster that I am, I did not say no! :D

 Just a recap, here are the variants in Olay Moisture Outlast Body Wash Collection:

Refreshing Moisture with Green Tea

Cooling Moisture with White Strawberry And Mint

Clean Moisture with Coconut Milk

Sensitive Moisture with Chamomile

Whitening Moisture with Pearl Extracts

Deep Moisture with Honey

This product promises to moisturize skin and keep it hydrated by enhancing its NMF or Natural Moisturizing Factor (the thing that attracts moisture to your skin) so you can sport healthy skin everywhere from the humid outdoors to skin- drying air-conditioned rooms (Click HERE to know how Air Conditioning dries out your skin big time). Olay said that this range is composed of powerful active moisturizers, 100% Soy Bean Oil and Pro-Glycerin, and won’t dry out your skin unlike regular beauty bars.

Click READ MORE for my swap experience and guess who dropped by in the event to say hello.

Look! Olay Brand Ambassador, Bea Alonzo, dropped by in the swap event. She mused about her favorite variant and it’s Deep Moisture with Honey.

After her short and sweet interview, Bea went to the swapping machine to experience it with the guests. I was standing near Bea and was one of the chosen gals who tried the machine with her-I got a 200ml bottle of Sensitive Moisture with Chamomile in exchange for my soap. I saw Bea up-close and she’s got really nice, soft- looking skin (on top of her ethereal beauty). Must be Olay Moisture Outlast Body Wash!

My fellow body wash lovers, Nikki, Shen, and Aisa-I hope they’ll do this again soon, but I wish it will be somewhere near BGC or Makati. :D

So there goes my lovely Saturday morning with Olay. Since we’re already on the subject, I might as well give a quick review on these products:

I’ve been using these products consistently for two weeks now and here are some of my observations:

1.) It’s super concentrated and very fragrant. In my experience, the 200ml bottle can last for around 3 weeks and the 400ml, around 1 to 1 ½ months. This will depend on your usage, of course.

2.) Depending on the variant I use, the scent uplifts, energizes, or calms me in the shower.

3.) Immediately, skin feels soft and smells fragrant.

4.) I have put its moisturizing effect to the test by skipping lotion after bathing with the body wash and I have observed that my skin did not itch, feel tight, and look dull-this is my experience both in the outdoors and air- conditioned rooms.

My favorite variants are Deep Moisture with Honey and Clean Moisture Coconut.

Since these products are highly fragrant, conduct a patch test first before usage especially if you have any known sensitivity towards fragrance. It will also support your hydration regimen, but if you have really dry skin, I would still advise you to use lotion afterwards.

This product is suitable to almost all skin types. Those who are craving for more moisture from their everyday body cleanser will love this line, too.

Olay Moisture Outlast Body Wash Collection retails at P110.00 (for 200ml) and P199.00 (for 400ml). You can find it in all supermarkets, drugstores, and department stores.

Now here’s some good news: If you weren’t able to catch the swap, don’t worry because you can still experience the new Olay Moisture Outlast Body Wash Collection. This time around, you will not only get the chance to take home one bottle, but a one- year supply of this body wash! Just CLICK HERE for more information about this giveaway. Good luck!
