I was really excited to try this skin care oil because its all natural and NZ made. I was a little worried that it would have a funny smell due to it being Olive but was actually pleasantly surprised! I suffer from dry elbows and thought that this product would be great for that and I was right! I only needed to use a little bit each time I applied and it definitely helped with the dry skin! I also expected it to be super oily but it was a nice consistency and seemed to evaporate quickly once applied from hands. I would be interested to see how it works on scars and stretch marks too so will be continuing to use this product.

Tips: It is recommended for best results to use for a minimum of 3 months
Loved the smell - not overly scented which is a huge turnoff for me. Also love love love the shampoo and conditioner for this olive range. Love how natural these products are so I know im not putting any nasties into my skin. I have dry skin and found that this is very nourishing and helps with dry flakey skin.
Tips: Buy the whole range because you won't regret it!
this product is great love that it has lots of natural ingredients makes my skin feel reali reali soft.. havnt seen much of a difference in stretch marks ect but its early days
I thoroughly enjoyed using this on my patches of dry skin. Although I don't have lots of affected areas, I thought it was worth a go as it was gifted to me and I know that there are a lot of benefits to using olive oil. I found it easy to rub in, and worked fast at hydrating dry areas. I did use on my stretch marks, but didn't see any improvement there, but that's not to say it wouldn't help others. The smell was subtle and not overpowering, yet pleasant. A little goes a long way so even though it is quite expensive to buy, it is value for money as you don't need much at all. Even though it is typically made up of oil, it doesn't leave much of an oily residue once it has been applied and massaged into the skin. Would recommend!!
I used this product on the basis that its a New Zealand product. It has a nice smell and texture. I think its possible that there are cheaper alternatives that would work just as well, but this one is contributing to our economy, so for that reason I choose to use it over overseas brands. The packaging is very basic and the product inside simple, meeting but not exceeding expectations. However by being basic it also has a more organic feel than many other products which I do like. As gar as an oil goes, it does what is says it will do and feels nice to put on. I have used this oil for massage where I found it to absorb at the same rate as other oils. As far as skincare goes, I haven't noticed any huge differences, but that said I haven't noticed any bigger differences with any other brands either. But whilst you are using it, your skin feels nice. My only issue would be needing to apply it more than once a day, I prefer products that I can just put on before I go to bed.
Tips: It does make the skin feel nice, but I would advise you use it sparingly to get best value for money. With oil, a little also goes a long way.
My son suffered from terrible teething rash, I tried all the usual recommended remedies and then I ended up putting this on him. Was an absolute miracle worker! Not only does it moisterise and soothe, but because it penatrates into the skin it provided an ultra thick layer of waterproof (dribble) protection.. Ended up also using it as a nappy rash barrier and again - it worked better than purpose bought and branded stuff.
As for putting it on my own skin, it made it feel super soft and smooth, especially in areas like elbows where extra hydration is needed.
Tips: Use it on your children for any rashes.. works a treat as both a barrier cream and a soothing repair cream.
Olive is a 100% natural skincare line. I am fan of Olive as I have purchased a lip balm from them in the past. This company was running a Facebook competition and I was very lucky to win. I've never noticed their skincare oil before only their lotions and creams.
This Skincare oil comes in a 60 ml bottle. This bottle is made of soft plastic and has the Olive labelling on the front of it. The consistency of this oil is like a normal oil. The colour of it looks just like olive oil. The scent of it reminds me of olives and wheat grass .
On the back of the bottle it mentions that it can assist with fine lines, stretch marks, dry skin , sensitive skin and uneven skin tone. I've been using it on my stretch marks. I also like to use it on my face for a face massage. I've been using it on my partner for his bad skin. I find it soaks into my skin well.
My results were smooth clear skin. My skin is hydrated nicely from using this. I haven't noticed any change with my stretch marks. But I will return to this review to add in any changes. I think it's priced fairly. I've used it six times and there is plenty in this bottle. I would definately buy it again to see if theres any other results.
I was suprised when I actually loved this product. Olive is an amazing brand with such great products. This oil is really well-absorbed and a little goes a long way. I was using it to hydrate my skin and help with cellulite which I had read about online. It definitely works! I had a clear improvement in skin tone, texture and hydration.
I have been using this product on my face. It has a pleasant smell (no oxidised oil smell) and not greasy on the skin. However, I have found it doesn't absorb easily. I started using it last winter and my skin soaked it up easily but last night 2 hours after I applied it (and only a small squirt of oil), I touched my face and my hand came away with oil. Recently I have started a new skincare routine so my skin is very well moisturised so this product is probably best if you have dry skin or as a body oil or if you don't mind oil smearing onto your pillow. I do have to say that my face felt nice and soft this morning and my hands as well :)
Tips: This product would be great as a body oil
Entering my third trimester of pregnancy this product couldn't have come at a better time. I have been applying to all areas that stretch marks appeared from my first pregnancy as well as on my face at night to help with wrinkles. The first thing I noticed about this product was that it comes in a spray bottle which makes it super easy to apply. I also was pleasantly surprised about the fragrance, it has a nice subtle smell so can easily be worn alone or under a fragrance. The oil absorbed into my skin really well and helped to relieve the itchy feeling of my growing tummy. I have been using it at night in the place of my normal moisturiser and have found that it leaves my face feeling really soft in the morning and not at all oily. I will continue to use this product as I have been looking to buy a 100% natural oil for during and post pregnancy and would recommend it to anyone looking for a product to treat scaring, dry skin or to prevent stretch marks.
Tips: Fantastic on the face used at night to treat dry skin, wrinkles and scaring. I used it in the place of my normal moisturiser but could be used under your moisturiser if only using in one area or if you have very dry skin.
