My Oliveda Skincare Favorites

I love Counter's products (previously Beautycounter), but while they were regrouping in 2024/2025 I tried and now love some of Oliveda's products (yes, I use both!)! Curious why I'm interested in skincare? Check out this post!

Skincare: Where to start

If you easily get overwhelmed by skincare, here’s what my routine looks like day to day:

Oil-Based Cleanser — Removes makeup + impurities gently.
Tonic or Mist — Refreshing prep for serums.
Serum — My favorite step — silky and super concentrated.
Moisturizer — Locks in hydration.
Targeted Treatments — Lips, eyes, fine lines.

🌿My Favorite Oliveda Skincare Products & Why I Love Them

F78 Arbequina Oil Cleanser

This is my go-to nighttime cleanser. It melts off makeup and sunscreen like a dream without drying my skin. The scent is soft and fresh, and it leaves my face clean, nourished, and balanced — never tight. (I alternate this with my Counter Cleansing oil - still a favorite!!)

F67 Corrective Facial Tonic

I pat this on after cleansing, and it instantly refreshes my skin. It’s packed with hyaluronic acid, olive leaf antioxidants, and vitamin C (from camu camu). It wakes up my skin and helps everything else absorb better.

F59 Corrective Face Serum

This is a fan favorite, and I use it on the daily on my forehead and smile lines. It has para cress extract for firmness and that gorgeous olive leaf elixir base that feels like nature’s skincare magic - for a botox-like effect.

F09 Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream

My new favorite eye cream! So gentle and effective! It smooths fine lines without irritation and feels velvety soft. A little goes a long way — I always pair it with their F64 Eye Elixir for an extra boost for fine lines (also contains para cress like the F59).

💗 The LOVE DUO (F06 & F63)

I have lots of skincare that I'm working through and trying to not buy more stuff 😅 BUT I LOVE this duo!! I keep coming back to it and use it in place of my daytime lotion.

F06 Cell Active Serum

This one’s perfect when I want something lightweight but still powerful. It smooths skin, minimizes pores, and adds that “healthy bounce” without heaviness. I mix a few drops with F63 and my skin is soft and radiant!

F63 Cell Active Face Oil

This oil nourishes and hydrates and give skin cells new energy for glowing skin. It provides antioxidant protection and can be used as a hair oil as well!! Good for all skin types, too!

F42 Corrective Face Cream

When I used a day cream (my other fav: Counter's Adaptive Moisture lotion) I really like this one! It's lightweight, smoothing, and the perfect base under makeup. PLUS it gives subtle sun protection and keeps my skin hydrated all day. I've been wearing this as my face sunscreen when I'm out all day (like Bowmanfest weekend!), and I'm not sure exactly how it works, but it does!! 🌞

F74 Regeneration Intense Face Cream

Rich, thick, and perfect for overnight recovery - I alternate this with Counter's Supreme Cream. I use it before bed, and I wake up with my skin feeling soft, plump, and hydrated. The texture is a little weird at first (you sometimes have to warm it up with your fingertips before spreading), but I love the way it makes my skin feel!

F81 AHA + HT Serum Face

This is comparable to Counter's cult favorite Overnight Resurfacing Peel (if I had to choose, I'd stick with the ORP). It's an acid-based exfoliator that you can use 1-2 times a week at night. Suitable for normal, dry and oily skin types, including those concerned with dullness, uneven texture, and aging. Combines 4.8% AHAs (glycolic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid) and BHAs (salicylic acid, gluconic acid) with antioxidants like hydroxytyrosol and ascorbic acid.

Other Oliveda Shopping Tips

⭐If in doubt, take the Skincare Quiz: The above are my favorite products (although, I think the Love Duo is great for all skin types - highly recommend!), however, I always recommend starting with the skincare quiz. You'll get a personalized routine based on your skin and goals. PLUS if you buy two items from the quiz recommendations, you will automatically get a free gift (the gift changes periodically - reach out and I'll let you know the current free gift).
