Although, we cannot give a 100% guarantee that trace levels of gluten are not present. Many ingredients used in our products are purchased as a raw material, and we do not have information on the make-up of these raw materials or if they have been in contact with other materials before they arrive at the plant.

Finally! A win for my skin!
Love these little melts & they work. Give them a chance & consistency is key. Btw, fragrance free means no perfume added. When using things like Retinol, it has a smell not the co fault. Get real folks!

These just melt in my fingers. They don't last long enough to get on my face. Must use 3 to 4 to even get started on the cleaning. I will be returning.

Thank you for your feedback on Olay Face Cleansing Melts with Retinol. We are sorry to hear your were dissatisfied with your recent purchase. This is not the experience we want you to have and will pass your comments along to the rest of the team. When using our Cleansing Melts, in order to generate a rich lather, please be sure to use lukewarm water and allow the Melt to soak for 3 seconds. Once it is dissolved, rub your hands together to generate the lather. Rub gently as rubbing too hard may prevent it from dissolving properly. Also, don’t hold your hands under the running water the entire time you’re lathering. Adding too much water may rinse away some of the cleanser. Please feel free to call us at (800) 285-5170 or email us through our Contact Us page for further assistance.

Pimples everywhere
I wanted to love this product so much but it made me break out SO bad! I even tried taking week long breaks between using it and every time I would go back to using it, I would break out again. And I do not normally have bad acne!

For the win! Convenient and resealable packaging is great for storing between usages and the concept behind the melts is just as amazing as the way my face feels after using. Took a full face of makeup off and my face has never felt cleaner! Forever sold! 🫧

Lots of lather and removed makeup
Really nice and innovative! The tiny squares that look like a thick paper towel dissolve into a gel and produced a good amount of thick lather on my skin. While washing, it felt gentle and had a soft scent. After rinsing, my skin felt soft and clean - these removed my makeup as well. I'm impressed, they're better than I expected and I love that they contain retinol!

Melty makeup wipes by Olay YAY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion. I like these when I'm in a hurry to go somewhere or to bed. They melt very easily and work up a nice lather. The smell is nice, not too much. They didn't make me break out, which is always nice. They also came in a cute yet Convenient box that makes them easier to reuse. I like that the product is easy to wash off and didn't leave residue on my skin. It was a nice clean feeling.

Innovative & Convenient
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion. I used the Olay Facial Cleansing Melts with Retinol and I was very pleased with the results. I like how it is easy, mess free and very practical. It left my skin feeling clean but not tight and had a great foam. The melts are very convenient and I will be using them for travel, going to gym and just to have in my purse if needed.

So small yet so efficient.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion. Olay Facial Cleansing Melts with Retinol are for the traveling girl. So small and compact yet so efficient. Just a tiny piece of paper until it's wet and it suds up on your face and cleans and feels amazing. I won't be caught without these in my travel bags or in my daily bags for home. Better clean that ever yet so small it doesn't even seem possible. There isn't anyone I wouldn't recommend these to.

The future of face wash
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion. First, the box is very pleasing. The colors are bright and the wording sticks out. Easily able to know what the product is intended for. It has a plastic window in the cardboard box to see the actual product, which is pretty neat and different from your standard packaging. The actual product is paper or cotton like rectangles that fit easily into the palm of your hand. Only one rectangle is needed to a palm full of water. Easily foams up and dissolves. Smooth on skin, and leaves it so refreshing! This product is the future!! The overall product is the future. Easy and convenient. Can use on the whole family while home or out.

Great product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion. I was a little leery of this product at first because I was like there's no way that this can rapidly melt , like it claims but it did. There is no fragrance to it that's always good for me and my skin because my skin does not always react well to products with fragrance. I tried it multiple times and it did clear up my face and make my face look really like it was glowing but towards the end of massaging it on my face it got kind of gummy It kept trying to stick to my finger and refusing to melt
