If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt discouraged by what you saw—acne scars, dullness, uneven tone—you’re not alone. I’ve been there too. Lately, I’ve been really intentional about using skincare that supports my skin’s healing, not just covers up symptoms.
That’s why I’ve added Oliveda’s HT + Vitamin C Serum to my cart this month—and I wanted to share why it’s become my top pick to help with brightening, skin tone, and acne scarring.
Why This Vitamin C Is So Different
Most vitamin C serums on the market are up to 90% water. That means your skin is getting a heavily diluted version of the ingredient you’re hoping will make a difference.
But Oliveda is different.
In line with their “From Tree to Beauty” philosophy, this waterless vitamin c serum is packed with bioactive, organic vitamin C paired with a powerful antioxidant called hydroxytyrosol—a compound found in the olive tree that’s over 1300% more antioxidant-rich than vitamin C alone.
What Does Bioactive Even Mean?
When ingredients are bioactive, they’re alive with compounds your skin can actually absorb and use. That’s the difference between simply putting something on your skin and feeding your skin what it needs to repair, regenerate, and glow.
Hydroxytyrosol supports your skin at the cellular level—neutralizing free radicals, calming inflammation, and helping your skin recover from environmental stress. Paired with vitamin C, this duo has the potential to deeply nourish and brighten the skin.
Why I'm Trying It
My biggest skin goals right now are:
✔️ Fading acne scarring
✔️ Evening out skin tone
✔️ Supporting long-term healing without irritation
This serum checks every box—and the fact that it’s water-free and free from fillers means I know exactly what’s going on my skin.
It’s also safe for just about every skin type—normal, sensitive, dry, or irritated—because it’s made with zero harsh additives, just pure, plant-powered goodness.
Bonus: It’s Free This Month 🎉
Here’s the best part—when you purchase any two items from your personalized skin quiz recommendations, this serum is FREE for a limited time.You can take the skin quiz here and get started with your custom routine. If you reach out to me after you've taken the quiz, I can help you score 2 FREE products this month!!!
I’ll be starting this serum soon and will be sharing how it supports my skincare goals over the next few weeks. If you’re on a journey to more radiant, nourished, and supported skin—without compromising your values—this might be the missing piece for you too.
