New Olay cleansers, anyone try?

fashionwi...@yahoo.com (the Wicked Witch)
I saw a couple new Olay cleansers at Walgreen's yesterday. They were
in tubes, the kind that stand on their caps, and were pretty large,
like a 6 or 7 ouce size. I saw a normal skin formula, a frag–free
sensitive skin formula, and once more – dry skin or oily skin,
probably, I can't remember. I don't remember what they were called
exactly, but they looked very different from the Olay cleansers in the
pump bottles. I've never liked the Olay cleanser in the pump bottle
personally, but this is a *new* one, and looked like it might be more
along the lines of a dense, creamy foaming dealie, like Clinique's
Rinse–off Foaming Cleanser, which I love and am using at the moment.
But since these were big ol' giant tubes, and no small trial sizes in
sight, I figured I'd ask here first: Anyone tried this yet? Reviews??
Raves? Rants? Recs? Is it like the Purpose face wash, which I didn't
like at all? How foamy is it? How well does it rinse off? Does the
fragranced one have a strong, obnoxuis scent? TIA!
They also had some new Olay cleansing towlettes, pre–moistened instead
of dry as the Daily Facials are. I picked up a package of them, but
haven't used any yet. Will review after I've tried them out a bit.

I tried the one for Sensitive Skin, cos I liked the Foaming Face wash for
Sensitive Skin and the cloths. I didn't really care for it. It was pretty
thick, didn't lather, didn't feel like it rinsed off. Was not the same as
the Foaming Wash at all. Can't remember if it had a scent. I still have
the tube but am not interested in finishing it at all.
I prefer the Dove non foaming lotion cleanser if that helps.
