THE OLAY
STORY
THE LOVE STORY
Olay’s first product, Beauty Fluid, was created by a chemist for his wife. Since then, we have been dedicated to serving women and their skin, with products that not only work, but that are a pleasure to use.
ROOTED IN SCIENCE
Since its creation Olay has been at the forefront of skincare innovation. Using a deep understanding of skin, as well as groundbreaking ingredients and technology. Read more about some of our skin science breakthroughs below.
ANTI-OXIDANTS
In 1991, Olay was the first mass-market skincare brand to offer Anti-Oxidants and UVA/UVB protection.
NIACINAMIDE
In 2000, Olay Total Effects was the first mass skincare range to introduce the powerful anti-ageing ingredient Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, which is proven to strengthen the skin barrier and to help restore a youthful skin appearance. A great anti-ageing multi-tasker, Niacinamide helps overcome visible signs of skin ageing such as tone, texture, enlarged pores, dark spots, dryness, and loss of radiance and firmness. Niacinamide is now present across most of our products, combined with further powerful ingredients.
PEPTIDES
In 2002, Olay was the first mass skincare brand to use peptides. Olay Regenerists’ key ingredient is the Amino-Peptides complex (PAL-KTTKS), which is 8 times more expensive than Platinum, helping the natural production of collagen for firmer looking skin and reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Peptides are present in our Regenerist line-up, in combination with Niacinamide.
OLAY WHIPS COLLECTION
In 2018, Olay brought to the market a new skin care experience with the Olay Whips collection with Active Rush Technology, for women who want a moisturiser with a truly lightweight feel, but without having to compromise on performance.
TRUST OLAY
Olay co-creates and develops new products with thousands of women every year, making sure that the promise of the performance is kept. That’s why, every day, over 20 million women all-over the world trust OLAY with their skin.
