Review (4/5): Powerful Botanical Ingredient For Skin Changing Results
I've been reading a lot about the power of olives and olive oil lately. The Mediterranean, Ketogenic, and Paleogenic ways of eating all recommend olive oil as one of the best sources of healthy fats. As I learned more about olive oil, I found that the extracted oil from olive tree leaves has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, including for use on skin. Research on the medicinal properties of this extract is ongoing, but early results are promising.
Using Oliveda F64 Eye Elixer every morning for two weeks has made a slight difference in my skin. The elixir comes in a small brown glass bottle with a dropper. The elixir is pleasant smelling, which makes me a little uncomfortable. The ingredient list includes "parfum." I am not sure that I want parfum in a product that I'm applying around my eyes. The elixir is easily absorbed by my skin and does not leave a greasy or sticky texture. My makeup goes on so smoothly after I have applied the elixir. I have noticed that my crepe-looking lines and wrinkles are less noticeable after using the elixir regularly. Overall, I think this is a good product. It *is* expensive for the quantity you receive, however since you only need a couple of drops each day, the bottle will end up lasting a long time. The inclusion of perfume in an eye care product, and the price are the reasons I am giving this elixir a four-star review.
