Brightened my day!
I was in desperate need of something to brighten these gloomy, lonely days of self-isolating at home during the pandemic. So I was very excited to be gifted this Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum from Ole Henriksen and Influenster in exchange for my honest review! Advertised as a powerful age-defyin...

Not for sensitive skin
I really tried to love this product but, unfortunately, I couldn'. It might work for folks with less sensitive skin though. Here's why it didn' work for me: - NO BANANAS: Just to clear it out of the way, there's nothing banana related in this product so the name is a pure marketing gimmick where...

Love!
I absolutely love the viscosity, scent and way this product makes my skin feel. It is incredibly refreshing and does not leave your face feeling oily. This light weight product makes my skin feel refreshed.
Love it
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've been using the Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum for a few weeks, and I ended up enjoying it more than I expected. The texture is lightweight, sinks into the skin quickly, and layers well under makeup without any sticky residue. Over this period, my skin has started to look a bit brighter and fresher overall. One of my favorite aspects of this serum is the scent. It has a gentle citrus fragrance that feels calming and elevates my daily skincare routine. The packaging is also thoughtfully designed — clean, simple, and functional. The pump dispenser makes it easy to get the right amount of product without any mess. A few notes of caution: those with sensitive skin might experience slight stinging or redness initially due to the vitamin C. It's also possible to see small breakouts or dry patches while your skin adjusts. This isn't a miracle product that delivers results overnight, but as an everyday brightening serum, I find it to be a lovely addition to a routine. Pros: Lightweight, fast-absorbing formula Pleasant citrus scent Easy-to-use pump packaging Gradual brightening Cons: Possible initial stinging or redness for sensitive skin Adjusting period may cause minor breakouts or dryness Results are subtle and require consistent use 
Lightweight skin feel
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Ive been using Olehenriksen vitamin c serum for a bit now and it honestly gives my skin a healthier, more awake look. My skin looks brighter and smother especially in the morning.
Not the vitamin C serum I would reach for.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum really did not impress me as much as I would've wanted it to. The serum is an off-putting yellow color and has a very heavy artificial citrus scent. Now, color and fragrance are typically things I can look past if the product is good. Unfortunately, I found the consistency to be too tacky for my liking and it took a lot longer to absorb into my skin despite the serum's claims. After multiple weeks of exclusive and consistent use, I still have not seen much of a difference in my skin. It is hydrating though.
Brighter skin
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum works well. It feels nice when applying to my face. It makes my skin feel smooth and my skin looks brighter! I am happy to have this in my skincare routine.
