You can now achieve the look of peak performance first time, every time, with Olay Men Solutions – a skin care range developed exclusively for men.

Olay Scientist, Dr. Colin D’Silva says: “Thanks to insights gathered over many years, Olay has an in-depth understanding of skin care ingredients and formulas. We wanted to harness this understanding to create a product range specifically for men – accommodating the fact that male skin has unique needs.”

“Men are lucky because they have thicker skin than women and it contains more collagen – making it much more resilient. However, whilst their skin is thicker and stronger than women’s they also have more sweat glands, larger pores, produce more sebum and are more prone to acne and irritation. And of course, they have to shave,” says Dr D’Silva.

“These differences mean that men have specific concerns that a skincare product should address, and as such, Olay Men Solutions has been created and designed specifically to address three key male skin concerns: oiliness, roughness and dullness.”

What worries men?

Roughness: Men’s skin is thicker than that of women, and therefore absorbs less. In addition, the texture is coarser and more likely to present dullness. Olay Men Solutions has an easily and actively absorbed product formulation which helps to ensure an improvement in skin roughness.

Oiliness: Male skin is more likely to be troubled by excessive oil and large pores than women’s, which can lead to skin problems such as acne. Male skin needs a mild but thorough cleansing product and Olay Men’s Solutions Cleansers offer a light weight texture and suitable to men’s skin.

Dullness: Environmental factors such as stress, poor diet and shaving can all impact on male skin, leading to signs such as sallow skin and dark circles under the eyes. Olay Men Solutions’ product formulations promote renewal and anti-oxidation to effectively help combat signs of tiredness.

In creating Olay Men Solutions, Olay researched and screened more than 100 formulas and selected from among more than 300 ingredients. The Olay Men Solutions range offers unique formulations that include Niacinamide, Vitamin Pro B5, Vitamin B3 and Vitamin C and multiple botanical and mineral essences for men’s skin including Ginseng, Green tea, Witch Hazel & Cucumber.
