Olay AquaAction – New!
“Pump-pump” Bouncy Skin,
catchy tagline for Olay’s the latest hydration range – Olay Aqua Action. This
new range is powered by the breakthrough HydraLock technology to deliver a new
standard of hydration. It has been shown to deliver 12-hour non-stop hydration
leaving skin cells well hydrated, giving the skin a firm and elastic touch.

According to Olay there
are two causes of behind skin dryness – normal breathing and evaporation from
the skin as well as skin fatigue. I notice my skin looks at its worse when I’m
tired. Dry, dull and lacks that healthy radiance.
We can lose about 2
glasses of water daily by just normal breathing and evaporation, an active
woman loses more. Olay has likened this to a leaky bucket where constant
replenishing still isn’t enough. Skin fatigues is the loss of skin energy,
which leads to changes in the skin and includes the loss of skin’s ability to
hold on to moisture. This causes the skin’s “leaky bucket” to become even more
leaky.
The new ingredient that
Olay has included in this range is called WSK, derived from the white jelly
leaf. As the story goes, WSK was used in the beauty regime of a legendary
Chinese beauty Yang Guifei, an 8th century royal consort whose great
beauty drove the emperor to distraction. I kid you not, this is the story that
was told at the presentation. According to scientists, WSK outperformed
hyaluronic acid, weight-for-weight, when its ability to hold water was put to
test.
While WSK helps with
hydration, Niacinamide, another active ingredient, helps with skin fatigue. It
brings the skin energy level of aged cells back to more youthful levels,
thereby giving the skin energy to renew itself and enables skin components to
hold on to moisture more effectively.
The new Olay AquaAction
range consists of 5 products – OLAY AquaAction Long-lasting Hydration Gel (The
Star Product) RM59.90 for 50g, OLAY AquaAction Deep Hydrating Dew RM59.90 for
