My Oliveda Skincare Routine, Honest Review, and More!
Skincare has been a priority to me for as long as I can remember. That being said, I’ve tried countless skincare brands and products in my life. Following my breast explant surgery, I realized just how many harmful toxins are hiding in many beauty and skincare products regardless of the price. I was on a mission to find natural skincare that’s both effective and made with clean, non-toxic ingredients. About a year ago I discovered Oliveda and I ya’ll… Their products have been a true skin care game changer. Since I’m loving this brand so much, I thought I would share what makes Oliveda products so unique, my personal Oliveda routine, and my top recommendations! If you’ve been thinking about making the move to clean beauty, this is your sign! The best part? Oliveda has a 365-day satisfaction guarantee for every retail purchase. While I truly think you’ll love your Oliveda products, you can return them if you don’t!

What Makes Oliveda Skincare Different?
Oliveda is a German-based skincare brand that formulates products with olive tree extracts. This brand blends nature and science to create clean, high-quality, and non-irritating skin care products. As a waterless beauty brand, Oliveda formulates their products with active ingredients, minimizing the need for water and preservatives that can dilute products and irritate skin. Oliveda products are made with natural ingredients, free from harmful additives, and highly effective.
Okay… So What Is Waterless Beauty?
Waterless beauty means that instead of using water as a base (like most skincare brands) Oliveda products are formulated with highly concentrated, active ingredients. Oliveda’s powerhouse ingredient is olive tree elixir, packed with antioxidants and nutrients that nourish and transform the skin. By skipping water, their products stay pure, potent, and free from unnecessary fillers or preservatives that can dilute effectiveness. This results in skincare that works harder for your skin, delivering maximum benefits in every drop. In other words, no water added = no dilution of active ingredients.

Where Do I Start? The Skin Quiz!
How many times have you purchased a product that you don’t need or that doesn’t benefit your skin? Well thankfully, the Olive Brain Quiz is here to help. Answer a few very simple questions about your skin and OliveBrain® analyzes the data to determine exactly which products you need. My first Oliveda purchase was the regimen that OliveBrain® recommended and it was literally spot on! While I still highly recommend my go-to products below, I still highly recommend taking the quiz!
What Skincare Products Does Oliveda Offer?
Oliveda offers a range of cleansers, toners, serums + oils, moisturizing creams, eye care, and lip care. I also love to do the occasional face mask as a bit of a skin reset! I’ve honestly tried over 30 plus Oliveda products now and I have been so impressed with each one. My daughter loved borrowing my products so much that she’s joined the Oliveda movement herself!
My Oliveda Routine
As mentioned above, I’ve tried more Oliveda products than I can count. My skin reacts very well to product variation, so I like to alternate between my favorite products every so often. Below is my everyday routine, including one or two of my top picks from each category!
Step 1: Cleanse
My skincare routine begins by washing my face with one of the many fabulous Oliveda cleansers. Most days I opt for one pump of the F38 Purifying Cleansing Gel. It’s a gentle foamy cleanser that effectively removes makeup, particles, and leaves my skin feeling so clean and refreshed. The 009 DEEP Cleanser comes in handy on the days that my skin needs a bit of extra help (think makeup, sunscreen, sweat, etc.,). Though it’s considered a deep cleanser, it’s still incredibly gentle and locks in moisture so well. I’ve also started double cleansing in the evening, which means cleaning your face twice. First with an oil-based cleanser, then followed with a second cleansing using a gel cleanser. This helps break down makeup, dirt, and oils, and makes my skin feel SO clean!

Step 2: Toner
I’ve always struggled to find an effective and non-irritating toner. However, the F67 Corrective Facial Tonic has single-handedly solved that issue. It’s the product that made me really fall in love with Oliveda and I cannot recommend enough! I spray this tonic directly to the skin after cleansing to prepare myself for the serums to follow (both AM and PM). With ingredients such as olive tree hydroxytyrosol and hyaluronic acid, F67 targets fine lines while providing intense hydration and soothing benefits. My daughter uses the F11 Activating Facial Toner and absolutely loves it.

Step 3: Serum
Serums should be applied directly after your toner and prior to your moisturizer. Oliveda has so many incredible serums that help address a range of skin concerns (fine lines, uneven skin tone, acne, etc.). You might have heard of their viral F59 Corrective Serum, or as I call it, ‘skin tighter in a bottle’. My personal favorites are the F06 Cell Active Serum, F82 Green Retinol Face Elixir, and the aforementioned F59.

Step 4: Moisture
With such dry skin, this step is crucial for me! I’ve been blown away by the F74 Regeneration Intense Face Cream–an intuitive face cream that adapts to individual skin types to deliver intense hydration and nourishment. I joke that it feels like marshmallow cream because it’s just that luscious and soothing. Apply all over and massage into the skin. My daughter also uses the 003 DOPE Face Cream and loves it!

Step 5: Eyes and Lips
I’ve tried countless lip balms, and NONE compare to the F75 Lip Balm. I seriously keep one in every room because I can’t live without it! This product offers incredible long-lasting lip moisture at a great price point. Just trust me on this one… you’ll love it! As far as under eye products go, my F09 Anti Wrinkle Cream is literally running on empty. It moisturizes and tightens while diminishing the signs of maturing skin, I’ve seen such a difference! I also use the F64 Corrective Eye Elixir a few times a week to tighten, brighten and plump my under eyes!

Masks
I’ve admittedly never been a big face mask gal, but Oliveda’s masks have changed that. I now try to do the F76 Honey Enzyme Face Mask at least once a week! It’s a gentle enzymatic peeling mask that removes dead skin cells, refines the pores and gives a radiant and even complexion. I LOVE the way my skin feels after using it, I feel like my skincare and makeup go on so much more evenly afterwards. Apply to cleansed, dried skin, avoiding the eye area and remove with lukewarm water after 10 minutes.

My Honest Oliveda Skincare Review
Let me start by saying I will never share a product that I don’t personally believe in. Hence why I wanted to make sure I tried Oliveda for myself before sharing with you all. After almost a year of using their products, I can with 100% certainty say that Oliveda has my stamp of approval. I’ve been so impressed by the quality and effectiveness of each product I’ve tried. My skin feels hydrated and truly healthier than ever (same for my daughter)! If you’ve been thinking about trying Oliveda, this is your sign. Again, I highly recommend starting with the Olive Brain Skin Quiz to find your perfect regimen, but below are a few more noteworthy Oliveda products. Simply click the image of the item to shop!
There’s More Where That Came From
Oliveda doesn’t stop at skin care! With the belief that beauty that comes from within radiates outwards, Oliveda offers a range of internals. I highly recommend the I01 Olive Leaf Concentrate. Actually, this product was Oliveda’s very first product which is so telling why it’s so important to remember. Beauty comes from within. I take two drops in a shot of orange juice and it’s helped reduce headaches, calm my body, and so much more. Prior to trying it, I was apprehensive about the taste, but I cannot taste it.
Oliveda also offers body products, hair care products, and waterless makeup!
