Which is better for dry, sensitive skin?

Aveeno. It is soap-free, dye-free and allergy tested, and it is built around prebiotic oat for dry and sensitive skin. Olay targets firming on all skin types and is scented.

Does the Olay collagen wash actually firm skin?

Expect only mild, temporary smoothing. A rinse-off wash has little time on skin, so collagen and vitamin B3 here mainly support hydration rather than lasting firmness.

Which bottle lasts longer?

Aveeno, per bottle. It holds 33 fl oz versus Olay's 20 fl oz, and both are sold as 2-packs, so Aveeno gives roughly 65% more product per pack.

Is Aveeno worth it over Olay?

For dry or sensitive skin, yes. For normal skin that wants a fresh scent and a firming claim, Olay is fine and often costs less per bottle.

Can I use Aveeno as a shave gel?

Yes. Aveeno says the wash can be lathered on and used as a shave gel. Olay's directions call for a puff and rinse.

Which has the better rating?

Aveeno, 4.7 out of 5 from 33,414 ratings versus Olay's 4.6 out of 5 from 775. Aveeno's score rests on a far larger base.
