If you’ve been curious about Oliveda serums…which one to use, which is best for your skin type, and whether they’re worth the hype…you’re in the right place. As women over 40, our skin’s needs shift: we want hydration, glow, but also gentleness and repair. In this Oliveda serums review, we’ll break down each top serum in the line, highlight their strengths (for aging, sensitivity, glow), and help you choose the one that works best for your skin journey.
FAQs
- What makes Oliveda serums different from regular serums? Instead of relying on water, they leverage olive leaf cell extract (rich in hydroxytyrosol) and bioactive oils to deliver concentrated benefits without dilution or heavy fillers.
- Which Oliveda serum is best for aging skin? The Corrective Face Serum (F59) is the “power” option….smoothing, firming, and reducing fine lines. Many users see tightening effects quickly.
- What about for sensitive or reactive skin? Cell Active Serum (F06) is a gentler option. It still delivers antioxidant support and brightness but with less intensity, making it more suitable for sensitive or reactive skin.
- Can I layer multiple Oliveda serums? It’s best to pair a serum with an elixir. But go slow, especially if your skin is new to concentrated botanicals.
- How soon can I expect results? Many users report visible smoothing and firming effects within days to weeks when used consistently.
Oliveda Serums Review Breakdown
I love that Oliveda has so many serum options to choose from! It drives me crazy when a skincare line only has one option. Skincare is not a one size fits all! So having options is great because that means there is a serum that will be perfect for your skin type and skin concerns!
Having so many options can also be overwhelming! But that’s what I’m here for! As your beauty coach, I’m breaking down each serum so you know what’s best for you and so you also get the best results!
- F06 Cell Active Serum– This is the one size fits all face serum. It works on all skin types! It moisturizes, nourishes, refines pores, minimizes dark spots, and smoothes the signs of maturing skin. It will work great on sensitive skin or mature skin and everything in between! It’s a perfect one to start with.
- F59 Corrective Face Serum– This is the most popular serum! It’s actually quote viral! It contains paracress which has a lifting effect. It also minimizes the appearance of large pores and reduces dark spots. It’s great for mature skin! Read more about its benefits!
- F81 AHA + HT Face Serum– I wish this one had a caution on the website and on the bottle! This is fabulous serum, but it needs to be used sparingly. It’s a chemical exfoliator so it helps slough off dead skin cells, promote cell turnover, and smoothes the skin. But, it should only be used 1-2 times a week and only at night. Read more about exfoliating!
- F83 HT + Vitamin C Face Serum– This is a wonderful vitamin C serum! It helps hydrate the skin, brighten the skin, and protect the skin. It’s great for a morning serum. Your skin will love it! Learn more about the benefits of vitamin C serum!
- F86 Corrective Vegan Hyaluronic Face Serum– This is my personal fave! It plumps + moisturizes the skin. Hyaluron can bind 1,000 times its own weight in moisture so it packs a punch! It will give you a glowing complexion. Learn more about the benefits of a hyaluronic serum!
- LA Dope 002– This isn’t from the Oliveda line, but is from the LA Dope line. But, it is another great serum option! It is similar to the F59 Corrective Face Serum but it has added hemp seed extract. It’s great for sensitive skin.
Oliveda Face Oil Serums Breakdown
These following serums are an oil face serum. They can be used on their own, but they work better with a serum. You can put about 4 drops of a serum in the palm of your hand and about 3-4 drops of an oil face serum in the palm of your hand, lightly mix them together, and then apply it evenly to your face. This will help it absorb beautifully into your skin.
- F25 Neroli Face Oil Serum– This cushions, smoothes, and softens the skin for a silky texture. It also helps with skin elasticity.
- F26 Rose Face Oil Serum– This oil serum combats blemishes and reduces scar tissue.
- F27 Jasmine Face Oil Serum– This clears blemishes and diminishes marks on your face.
- F63 Cell Active Face Oil Serum– This is great for sensitive + irritated skin. It also helps regulate oily skin. This face oil serum paired with the F06 Cell Active Face Serum is a beautiful combo! You can save $28 when you buy the Love Duo set!
What Serum Should You Use?
So now that you know a little more about each Oliveda serum, which one is best for you??! Let’s break it down even further for you…

What Order Do You Apply Serum?
Here’s the best order to layer your skincare products:

If you also want to include an oil or elixir, apply it at the same time as your serum so it absorbs well into your skin.
My Favorite Serum Recommendation
What’s the best Oliveda serum?? I have to give two answers for this. My personal favorite serum is the F86 Corrective Vegan Hyaluronic Face Serum. My skin is plumpier, glowier, and healthier when I use this serum. I feel like it gives me the best results!
But my favorite serum to recommend is the F06 Cell Active Serum because it’s a one size fits all serum! It works great on all skin types and is the perfect one to start with. It dips your toes into waterless beauty and helps your skin adjust.
