Olay Daily Face Wash with Retinol and Peptides offers a professional-grade "micro-exposure" approach to skin conditioning. By incorporating a stable retinol ester (Retinyl Propionate) and Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 into a wash-off format, the skin receives mild stimulation and surface conditioning without the intensity of leave-on serums. Niacinamide and Glycerin act as buffers to maintain the moisture barrier during the cleansing process, resulting in a creamy lather that removes light makeup.
To maximize the conditioning effects of the peptides, the formula should be massaged into the surface for 60 seconds. Following use with a lipid-restoring cream is recommended to lock in hydration.
