(Review) Olay Fresh Effects {Va-Va-Vivid!} Powered Contour Cleansing System

The last thing that I want to review from my Influenster Feb 13 Sweatheart VoxBox is the Olay Fresh Effects {Va-Va-Vivid!} Powered Contour Cleansing System. Inside the box, Olay included the cleansing brush and the Olay Fresh Effects {Shine, Shine Go Away!} Shine Minimizing Cleanser. I was very excited to try out these two products the moment I saw them. I have always wanted to purchase a vibrating facial cleansing brush, but all the ones that I have seen at the store and online either cost so much or has bad reviews, and since I am a pretty lazy face-washing person, I decided that I will just wait on it. Influenster totally spoiled me with this product! It’s almost like they have read my mind haha ~

When I first saw the box, I was a bit surprised that the product is by Olay. Where is their signature black and red color design?!? Has Olay finally started targeting the younger crowd?!? That is actually very exciting!! With the green, blue and white colors, this design gave these Olay products a very refreshed look, which is totally eye-catching. Besides, the front of the box says that this system can clean your face 400% better than basic face cleansing. Although I did question the products a bit when I saw that, this is still very fascinating to me.

On one side of the box, it says that the cleansing system will cleanse, hydrate, and perfect my skin. Luckily, my skin has always been clear and free of pimples, but one problem I have is that I always find it tough to hydrate my skin. Whenever I put moisturizer on my face, an hour or so later, my face will always get very oily. With these Olay products, they supposedly will clean, hydrate, and help my face stay matte for a long period of time, so I really hoped and prayed that they will work just like they are described on the box.

On the back of the box, it continues to describe the cleansing system and provide directions on how the product can be used. One thing that I saw in the direction area that made me very happy is that the {Va-Va-Vivid} system is actually safe to use in the shower, as long as I don’t submerge it in water. This is perfect for me because I am a pretty lazy person when it comes to washing my face. This way, I can hit two birds with one stone, and just do all the cleansing in the shower. I think this will make me want to, and actually remember to, clean my face everyday.

The one thing that makes this cleansing brush different from all the other brands is that it is in a triangular shape. As it is said on the box, the brush is designed this way to fit everyone’s facial contours. This way, the brush can deep cleans in and around the T-zone, hair line, and nose crevices.

One morning, I decided to try out this cleansing system while I shower. I splashed my face with warm water, so that my pours will open up for an even deeper cleaning. I then wet the brush and put a pea-size of the shine minimizing cleanser on the brush. The cleanser is in a silver color and it smells good, like normal face wash. Next, I turned on the brush and let the magic happen.

I was very surprised how well it worked. I used the cleansing brush on my face for about 2 minutes before rinsing off. To be honest, I would have use it on my face even longer because it felt so good, almost like a mini facial, but I don’t want to over exfoliate to a point where it hurts my skin, so I decided to stop. I rinsed off my face, and to my surprise, the cleanser washed off very easily. In the past, with almost all the other face washes I have tried, they usually take a while to rinse off completely, and afterward, I still have to check whether I got all the soap out. However, this shine minimizing cleanser made my face feel very clean after just one rinse, and I was very happy about that. After I got out of the shower, I immediately saw changes on my face. My skin felt a lot softer and well moisturized. The cleansing brush really cleanse and exfoliated my face very well, and it made my face feel dead skin free. Besides the immediate results, I noticed that for the rest of my day, my face didn’t get oily at all. The cleansing brush and the shine minimizing cleanser kept my face matte for the entire day!! That is AMAZING!!! Because of the mind-blowing results, I decided to continue using the products for 2 week straight, as an experiment to see whether the products really perfect my skin in the long run. After the 2 weeks, I noticed that my pores got a lot smaller, and around 90% of my blackheads were gone. I was just very shocked at how great the products worked.

Overall, I rate the Olay Fresh Effects {Va-Va-Vivid} Powered Contour Cleansing System a 10/10. The two products made me want a face cleansing routine, and as funny as it sounds, I do look forward to using them everyday. With the {Va-Va-Vivid} Powered Contour Cleansing System costing $12.99 and the {Shine, Shine Go Away!} Shine Minimizing Cleanser costing $6.99 for a full size at www.olayfresheffects.com and www.amazon.com, I believe the prices for these two are completely reasonable and definitely a must buy. These two products really did what they were supposed to do, and I would absolutely recommend you guys to give these products a try. I promise you, you will fall in love with them and make them your daily routine, just like me.
