Lots of skin care companies like to use olive oil and almond oil in their products because of the emolient properties they offer. Many of the anti-aging lotions and treatments have these oils. They are effective and fairly expensive, so those products are thus expensive. If you are interested in some type of moisturizer that really does the trick, these two oils are good. If your skin is really oily though, it could be a bit greasy. I have found that I just have to try things to see how they work!
