Olivella All Natural Virgin Olive Oil Moisturizer, for All Skin Types, 1.69 Oz, 1.69 Oz

I am a person with sensitive skin, that gets super oily during the day and uncomfortably dry when cleaned. When I use regular cream moisturizer, it irritates my skin making it itchy sometimes. However, when I use Olivella, my skin feels a lot better, I want to say it soothes my skin, but not to that extent. I just know that when my skin is dry, the dryness disappears right after I use this. I use this every night, after a shower, but I use veerrry little. Like half of the droplet goes on my slightly dampened skin. And what makes this product convenient is, because it's oil-based, it naturally becomes a make-up remover without the chemicals. So I just gently brush the eyeliner under my eyes with my finger (not with a towel cause thats bad for your eyes) and wipe my finger on a napkin (If I need more oil, I just use a bit of the remaining half of the droplet). Next, I can use the remaining on my hair just on the top part where my hair separates so the tiny hairs don't stick up in the air. It adds a bit of shine to my hair as well. Lastly, I rub it in my hands, and i'm all ready for bed :D In conclusion -its great instant relief for my oily clean that gets really dry when cleaned -don't cause acne for my skin type -can be used as a make-remover while moisturizing my face -relaxing smell -adds shine and smoothens up my hair(but dont use it on strands of hair or it'll make u look like you haven't washed ur hair in days. Use very little) -if used in moderation, doesn't look like you have oily skin -If done after a shower with damp face and wake up in morning, will not look oily at all. Instead, will feel soft and un-oily -Last a long time if used in moderation (I just use one-two drops a day) had it for so long I don't even remember how long its been. (maybe 4-5months?)

I first reviewed this item in September 2016, and now over 3 years later, it is still the only moisturizer that I use. I had been searching for a new moisturizer that wasn't tested on animals and found Olivella. I try to only use products by companies that don't test on animals and Olivella seems to stand for the causes I support (it's natural, "green" and cruelty-free). It cost more than I would prefer to spend but this little bottle lasts a long time - I only need to order this twice a year! So the cost isn't really a factor when you take into consideration how long it lasts. This product hasn't caused any issues and I love the way it feels (also, my skin has never felt oily or greasy after putting it on. It sets in quickly and makes my face feel nice and soft). It reminds me of the Italian side of my family's skin and complexion (sadly I didn't inherit those genes, haha). Based on previous reviews before purchasing, I knew not to apply this moisturizer onto dry skin. At first I was confused by this, but once you do it yourself you will understand. After I step out of the shower, I lightly pat my face with a towel so it's not dripping wet but still damp/moist. Then I use just ONE pump of this moisturizer. That's it, just one pump (you'll think it's not enough, but it is! haha). I pump it onto my hand and it covers my face perfectly. Having some moisture on your face helps the product cover your whole face without leaving an oily, greasy feeling (and using only one pump means the bottle will last a long time, haha). I can't recommend this enough, I will continue using it for as long as it's available.

There are many reasons why you get brown spots on your skin (pregnancy hormones, pigmentation problems due to a pimple, exposure to sun, and just plain age). I did some research and found that there are three HUGE solutions that, combined together can stop the spot from getting darker, and start to heal it. There are three major factors that work together to help treat, eliminate and hide the brown spot. Here's what I found: 1)ALWAYS WEAR SUNSCREEN! This is definitely crucial, otherwise no matter the cause of the age spot, it WILL get bigger if your skin does not have adequate protection from the sun. I wear Oil of Olay Daily Moisture Lotion w/SPF on top of this product. 2)Citric Acid is a key all natural bleaching ingredient. This coming from fruits such as oranges and lemons, lemons having the highest amount of citric acid. 2)Olive Oil! Yes the same thing that works on hands to soften them also works good for brown spots. The Vitamin E in the Olive Oil moisturizes your skin, and stimulates the cells in your skin to regenerate. This is especially good in its most raw form because in order to remove the dark spot, you have to treat through 21 layers of skin! 3) Athough this product does not include buttermilk, I still apply buttermilk twice a week to the spot (and my face) twice a week in addition to this product. Get ready to plug your nose because it works best if it's spoiled! I put mine in a pump bottle that dispenses nail polish remover. I use a cotton swab, dab a couple times then wipe off. I have one brown spot (and there's no way I'm posting a pic of it). I noticed it after a pimple healed. But I was also in my first trimester of pregnancy. So hormonal or because of the pimple or both? Not sure. But, from the first week I started using this product it worked immediately!! The bottle is extremely slow but a little goes a SUPER long way! I only use a tiny bit each night and under makeup. Make sure to massage it in well. After all, it is an oil!!! This is truly an INCREDIBLE product!!! A+++! Here's the major ingredients that make it work (that actually back up the research I did: Olea Europea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Squalene, Citris Aurantium, Dulcis (Orange), Retinyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Lavadula Angustifiola (Lavender) Oil, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil. **THIS IS THE INGREDIENT LIST IN IT'S EXACT ORDER.** Before expensive and sometimes dangerous medical routines to remove brown spots, try this! I love it and I will continue using it every single day.....You WON'T regret it!
