If you are a fan of olive oil, you should definitely look at products that contain olive leaf extract–AKA OLE.

Bellezas who suffer from rosacea and cystic acne will especially love this ingredient’s anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-histaminic effects and find it will help calm and help their piel issues. But if anti-aging is your belleza focus, you’ll love the research that shows how OLE’s oleuropein compound possesses extremely high doses of antioxidants.

This antioxidant comes from the leaves of the olive tree.  And because it’s on the leaf where photosynthesis occurs, it accumulates particularly high levels of antioxidants, which can help neutralize the damaging effects of free radicals. This is why this ingredient is used to fight rough, damaged, and dry piel that’s compromised by the environment and wrinkle-causing UV rays.

Here are some OLE containing products you might want to try.

iS Clinical Pro-Heal Serum Advance+ alleviates redness, dryness, and irritation.  Excellent for rosacea, acne, eczema sufferers, it combines vitamins A, C, and E with OLE.  It sells for $125 and you can find it online.
