Olay Vitamin C Cleansing Melts Water-Activated Face Wash — Travel 64ct, Gentle Daily Cleanser & Soft Citrus

Olay Cleansing Melts are single-use, water-activated pads that turn into a creamy micro-bubble face wash to cleanse, tone, and refresh without sulfates or heavy ingredients.

These patented Vitamin C Cleansing Melts from Olay arrive dry and compact in a resealable travel pack. Each pad dissolves with warm water into a gentle foaming lather designed to remove oil, SPF, and light makeup while preserving the skin's barrier. Formulated with just eight ingredients and free from sulfates, parabens, and mineral oil, the pads are created for daily morning and evening use and are convenient for travel or busy routines.

How do the Cleansing Melts work and why is the technology different?

Olay’s patented Melts Technology uses a water-activated matrix that quickly turns each pad into a micro-bubble foam. Instead of dispensing a liquid cleanser from a bottle, the pad dissolves to produce a concentrated, creamy lather for efficient cleansing with less formulation bulk.

• Patented US invention patent (US11311469B2) underpins the dissolving pad format.
• Transforms in about three seconds after adding warm water.
• Generates a rich, micro-bubble foam that rinses clean without residue.
• Compact, dry packaging reduces leakage risks during travel.

Will this face wash strip my skin or irritate sensitive skin?

The formula is designed to avoid harsh surfactants and common irritants, aiming for a balance between cleansing power and gentleness. Because there are only eight ingredients and no sulfates, parabens, or mineral oil, it’s formulated to remove oil and impurities without over-drying the skin barrier.

• Dermatologist-tested for compatibility with normal to oily skin types.
• Suitable for sensitive skin when used as directed—gentle lather rather than aggressive scrubbing.
• Removes oil more effectively than a leading liquid cleanser while maintaining moisture balance.

How do I use Olay Cleansing Melts during my routine?

Using a Cleansing Melt is a three-step process that fits easily into morning and evening routines. The pads work well alone or as a first step before serums and moisturizers when skin needs a clean base.

• Soak: Add warm water and let the pad dissolve for about three seconds.
• Activate: Gently massage to create a creamy, micro-bubble lather.
• Wash: Massage over face to remove oil, SPF, and light makeup, then rinse thoroughly.

What results can I expect and how quickly?

With consistent morning and evening use, the Cleansing Melts are formulated to improve skin tone and texture within a week for many users. The focus is on cleaner-feeling skin, reduced surface oil, and a refreshed appearance rather than clinical claims of curing conditions.

• Daily dual-use (AM and PM) supports clearer, more even-looking skin in days.
• Light citrus scent offers a fresh sensory experience without heavy fragrance load.
• Dry, resealable 64-count pack (2 x 32ct) is ideal for home and travel storage.

Who is this for: Olay Cleansing Melts are best suited for people seeking a compact, low-ingredient face wash that cleans oil and daily residues without sulfates. Choose this if you want an easy-to-use travel-ready cleanser for normal to oily skin that forms a creamy lather from a single-use pad and fits into a streamlined skincare routine.
