Olay
I enjoy traveling. Packing for my travels? Not so much. That’s why when I discover products that make packing and traveling a little less stressful, I don’t let go of them. Cue the Olay Facial Cleansing Melts, which have become an essential part of my travel skincare routine — and for good reason. These nifty little pads are activated with water, which means that when I arrive at my destination, I’m left with a toiletry bag free of accidental spills.

The $5 cleansing melts come in a 12-pack and are housed in a resealable tray to keep them protected. I like to use the melts as part of a double cleansing routine after I’ve removed my makeup with an oil-based cleanser. To use, I peel one of the pads off, run it under water for three seconds to let it dissolve, rub my hands together until it forms a lather and cleanse. The fact that these become a full-on skincare product upon coming into contact with water makes them a convenient way to cleanse my skin while on the go.
But the melts don’t just look the part — they actually perform well, too. They’re only made with eight ingredients, none of which irritate my already-sensitive skin. I also have severely dry skin, and while these melts form a rich, creamy lather, my skin doesn’t feel parched or tight post-cleanse. In fact, it feels incredibly soft, hydrated, refreshed and ready for the other steps of my skincare routine. There’s also no residue or heaviness left behind, making it great for those with oily skin types.

These come in three iterations depending on your skin needs: hyaluronic acid-infused, vitamin C-infused or retinol-infused. In any case, I like that the melts function as a cleanses, toner and refreshing spray, eliminating the need for packing multiple products.
If you’re a frequent traveler (or need a non-messy, effective facial cleanser for your gym bag), these cleansing melts will be a welcome addition to your routine for just $5. Or, keep reading to see why so many others are also fans of the convenience and formula.
Here’s what Amazon reviewers are saying about these magical little tablets:
“These Olay Cleansing Melts are a game-changer for travel! They’re compact, lightweight, and leak-proof, making them perfect for packing in a suitcase or even a carry-on bag. The melts dissolve quickly in water, creating a rich and luxurious lather that effectively removes makeup and impurities. I love that they contain retinol, which helps to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. My skin feels clean, refreshed, and hydrated after using these cleansing melts. They’re a convenient and effective way to maintain my skincare routine while on the go.” — Kleo
“I’ve recently had the pleasure of trying out the Olay cleansing melts, and I must say, they are nothing short of delightful! The texture of the cleansing melts is truly remarkable. As soon as I took one in my hands, I could feel the silky smoothness, which promised a pampering experience. When I applied it to my skin, the melt glided effortlessly, transforming from a solid into a rich, nourishing lather that felt indulgent against my skin. I loved how it effortlessly broke down makeup and impurities, making the cleansing process not just effective but also incredibly enjoyable. After rinsing, my skin felt soft, clean, and hydrated, with no residue left behind.” — ShadiiGradii
“Absolutely love Oil of Olay products. My mom swore by them and she always had such a youthful glow. I tried these for the first time the other day, and could not believe the way it’s made my face feel. It’s so rich and creamy, but leaves your face feeling clean and fresh with no heavy feeling.” — Amazon Customer
