New to Oliveda? Here's What I Recommend First (A Beginner's Guide)
If you're new to Oliveda, welcome! One of the questions I get asked almost every day is:
"Where do I start?"
Over the past few years, I've helped more than 350 women and men build simple, effective skincare routines with Oliveda.
As an attorney, mom of three, and someone who loves living a healthier lifestyle, I appreciate products that are easy to use, fit into real life, and actually make a difference.
Whether you're looking to brighten your skin, have that healthy glow, and just feel more confident in your own skin. Or simply create a routine you'll actually stick with. These are the products I recommend most often to beginners.
My Top Picks (And My Clients’ Favorites)
Since all of us have different skin and concerns, taking this quick 2-minute quiz is a great place to start to see your recommended cleanser, serum and lotion.
If you're wondering which products my clients and I reach for again and again, here are my top recommendations.
✨ My clients’ #1 most-ordered product overall
Best for: firmer, smoother-looking skin.
F59 Corrective Serum- This viral, no-tox serum is also my personal ride-or-die. It helps smooth and tighten the skin, even tone, minimize the look of pores, and gently relax facial muscles - naturally. It’s one of those products people say they can feel working… and then never want to be without.
This serum is best paired with the Midnight Elixir (use the elixir a few nights a week)
✨ What almost everyone orders
Best for: Anyone just getting started.
F06 Cell Active Serum - I call this the little sister to F59, and it’s such a staple in my routine. I use either F59 or F06 morning and night (and sometimes mix them). F06 works for all skin types and focuses on cell renewal and overall skin vitality. It’s simple, effective, and incredibly easy to love. My clients almost always get this serum on their second or third order and it’s a staple in so many routines!
This serum is best paired with the F63 Facial Oil.
✨ One of My clients’ fav internals!
Best for: supporting healthy hair, skin & nails.
i66 Beauty Fountain - This is the liquid collagen peptides internal! Think healthier-looking hair, glowier skin, stronger nails and joint support. Most people really start noticing results after taking 30-45 days.
✨ My clients’ #1 eye product
Best for: brightening and smoothing eye area.
F64 Eye Elixir - This is such a unique product - it’s a serum you gently massage around the eye area (use it before an eye cream if you use one). I like to describe it as F59 for your eyes. With consistent use, most people notice smoother, brighter-looking eyes in about two weeks.
Pair it with the F60 Corrective Eye Cream
My best advice for beginniners
You don't need a cabinet full of products to see results.
I usually recommend starting with just one to three products that fit your skin's needs and using them consistently. A simple routine you'll actually follow is almost always better than a complicated one you give up on after a week.
Want help choosing?
Everyone's skin is different, and one of my favorite parts of what I do is helping people build a routine that feels simple, enjoyable, and personalized.
If you're not sure where to begin, take my skincare quiz or send me a message on Instagram or by email. I'm always happy to help you choose products that fit your goals, your lifestyle, and your budget. Because skincare should support your life - not complicate it.
