What is Olay Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System?

Your skin’s job is to protect you from the elements of the outside world: the sun, pollution, smoking and other stresses. Part of the process of keeping your skin healthy is the constant regeneration of cells. Your body produces new skin cells nonstop around the clock, so an average adult can shed up to 50,000 dead skin cells every minute. I think that is amazing and a little hard to grasp at the same time! It is an important process, but sometimes cells don’t slough off as well as they should, so they can end up clogging pores, which leads to complexion problems. So exfoliating on a regular basis is very important to keep our skin looking healthy.

Olay’s Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System was professionally designed by a team of dermatologist  to cleanse 6 times better than just basic cleaning. Olay says they have clinical tests showing the effectiveness of their product. The graph on Olay’s website shows their product, the Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System, basic cleansing (washcloth) and a competators cleaning system worth $200.00. The graph shows Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System neck and neck with the more expensive cleaning system and the basic cleaning that is barely noticable on the graph. So what Olay is claiming, is their product will do the same as the more expensive systems sold, but for a lot less the price.  

Four of the design features of Olay Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System are : 

1. Two speed,  rotating system delivers deep cleansing and gentle exfoliating
2. It is water resistant
3. Soft replaceable brush head
4. Exfoliating cleanser   

Ingredients in Olay Pro-X Exfoliating Renewal Cleanser

• SODIUM LAUROYL METHYLISETHIONATE, an extremely mild cleanser.
• SORBITOL, very similar to glycerin, it is a humectant, thickening agent.
• CITRIC ACID, is the same as Vitamin C, it is an antioxidant that can help refresh skin and reduce the look of aging by promoting new skin growth and destroying free radicals. Too much exposure to citric acid can cause mild skin irritation.
• POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE, is widely used in soft soap products because of its softness and high levels of solubility; soaps comprised of potassium require less water to liquefy.
• OXIDIZED POLYETHYLENE, one of its most popular uses in skin care products is as an ingredient in exfoliates, in which small beads made of Polyethylene are used for smoothing or polishing the skin.

Final Thoughts on Olay Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System

Most reviews about Olay’s Pro-X Advanced Cleaning System were very postive. You don’t have to use the Exfoliating Renewal Cleanser with the system, you can use any cleanser. Olay is a little misleasing the way they advertise ingredients to say they make cells act younger. It doesn’t have any antiaging ingredients in it.  The product is reasonably priced around $25.00 to $45-00, so you will want to shop around to find the best deal if you choose to purchase it.
