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

I bought another one just recently after purchasing it 15 years ago. I forgot about it until recently while trying on a body oil and the citrus triggered a memory and of this product. This is about $11 an ounce and the one I was trying on in store is about $16.75 and ounce. While the other product had more skincare ingredients targeted for the whole body and this was more simple for the face and neck, this one had a stronger citrus scent that I enjoy. Now I have both I can enjoy. It would be great if his came in a larger sized bottle for body use and made more product dispense at one time.

Highly recommend this product

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!

I was hesitant about switching from my oil-free nighttime moisturizer to this one, which is an oil. I have combination skin and suffered from acne up through my twenties and still get the occasional pimple (I am in my early forties now). However, this oil did not cause me to break out at all. It absorbs quickly into the skin and isn't irritating in the least. I use it at night and in the morning under makeup, though I add a natural clay foundation with spf (Tarte) over it for day use.The reason I wanted to try this product was that my sister, who is very fair complexioned, went to China, bought a cheap Chinese drug store olive oil moisturizer, and after using it for a year, has managed to fade most of her freckles so that they are hardly visible. I was hoping for the same results, and opted for this brand since neither my sister or I could find any more of the cheap Chinese brand (we think the company has already gone out of business). After using this for over 8 months, I still have my freckles and they are not noticeably fainter, but even if this hasn't worked the hoped for miracle on my face, it is a very nice moisturizer.

Great stuff, provided relief to dry skin on first application.

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.

I have to use a cottonball to absorb some of the excess oil off my skin. It does the trick, but I think I need a better-absorbing moisturizer for future.

Love all their products!
