Change it back!
I have used this product for so many years they can’t remember for how long. Just purchased two and although labeling is same, it’s not inside! Feels harsh when using and don’t like the scent. Skin doesn’t feel soft and clean after using.

Thank you for your feedback on Olay Cleanse Gentle Foaming Cleaner. We are sorry to hear about your experience especially with having used the product for so long. Olay Cleanse Gentle Foaming Cleanser underwent a small formula change in September of 2024. We certainly expected you to get the same great benefits with this new formula as you did the previous one. We are passing your comments along to our Health & Safety Team. Please know all of our products are evaluated to be safe and effective when used as directed. However, we do know that consumers have personal sensitivities and may not be able to tolerate a particular ingredients or formulation. If you haven’t already, we recommend discontinuing use of the product. Regarding the scent, the product is still fragrance free, so this report is unexpected and we will share with the Quality Assurance Team. We want you to know our products go through many quality checks to ensure they reach you in perfect condition. A couple reasons a product may have an off odor is if it is past its shelf life or has been exposed or stored in extreme temperatures. We’d love to learn more of your experience. Please feel free to call us at (800) 285-5170 or email us through our Contact Us page.

Terrible
I have been using this “foaming” cleanser for YEARS. I can’t believe that Olay would change anything about it, but they have. False advertising! The label does not mention that it is a new formula-where is the foam?! I should be refunded!

Thank you for getting in touch about our Olay Cleanse Gentle Foaming Cleanser. Your loyalty has been more than appreciated and it disappoints us greatly to hear that you weren't satisfied with the formula change. We genuinely wanted you to have the same great experience you've had over the years. While there was a formula change, there should only be a slight difference to how the cleanser feels and the amount of lather it produces. We want to assure you that we will be addressing your comments with our Quality Assurance team and the rest of our Olay team. We'd like to assist you further. When you have the time, please write to us through our Contact Us page so we may do so.

Change the formula back!!!!
I’ve used Gentle Foaming Cleanser for 20 years. The new formula is awful. It’s clumpy, it does NOT lather up or “foam” up anymore, it burns my eyes, leaves my skin dry & doesn’t cleanse as good. Listen to your users & change it back!!!!

New formula is horrible
I've used this cleanser for many years and the most recent formula has a noticeable decrease in quality. It comes out clumpy, is not gentle, and does not clean as well. Please go back to the old formula we all loved.

FORMULA CHANGE BURNS SKIN!
I have used this product for YEARS. My most recent bottle burned my skin and made it red. I happened to have an old bottle and noticed that the second ingredient USED to be glycerin. But now it's Sodium Lauroamphoacetate. HELP!!!!
