Olay

Cleansing Melts

Olay has been one of the leading skin care brands for years. Known for their high quality anti-aging skincare, Olay knew it was time to tackle your skincare routine from the start with Cleansing Melts. The first of its kind, Cleansing Melts, is a small square that dissolves into a gentle cleansing foam washing away the dirt and makeup from the day without stripping your skins surface.

I spent my summer 2023, as an art director intern with Saatchi & Saatchi New York. During my time, I was fortunate to work on a secret brief for a brand new Olay product. My partner and I presented two concept commercial storyboard ideas for Olay Cleansing Melts. Both ideas were young, fresh and innovative to target the younger demographic we were briefed on. The two storyboards made it through multiple rounds with clients, but ultimately were killed some time after our internship ended.

The Newest Square in Skincare | :30

Olay Melts is the new and unique answer to all those who are dissatisfied with their current cleanser.

Hero looks dissatisfied in the mirror as various shapes cycle over her skin. 

Wish your cleanser was in better shape?

Hero brightens up when a square appears over her face. She then reaches out, grabs the square and pulls it in to reveal that it is an Olay Melts.

Meet Olay Melts...

Hero draws a large circle, that once completed, turns into a bubble, and it pops into smaller bubbles.

Other cleansers have big bubbles that only clean the skin’s surface…

The bubble POPS  and screen in filled with smaller bubbles and text.

…but Melts have micro-bubbles…

Melts have micro-bubbles that go deeper to clean, tone, and refresh your skin.

Tiny bubbles clean pore.

…giving you a deep clean you can feel.

VTC: Wow, so soft!

Hero pats her face dry and smiles.
