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...

Makeup artist approved!!!!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I genuinely fell in love with OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum and it's honestly one of the best vitamin C serums I've used so far. The scent smells so fresh and citrusy without being overpowering, and the formula feels hydrating and lightweight at the same time. My skin looks brighter, smoother, and more even after using it consistently, and it gives such a healthy glow without feeling greasy. It absorbs into my skin so well without leaving a layer like other products I've tried. I love how it visibly plumps my skin too and how well it layers with my other skincare and makeup products. It plays really nicely under moisturizer, SPF, and foundation without pilling or making my makeup separate throughout the day. My skin has been looking more refreshed overall, and my makeup applies so much smoother when I use this underneath.. I'm so glad I added this to my routine. Makeup artist approved!! 🧡

Great Moisturizer
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The vitamin C serum is very light but moisturizing. It absorbs very well in my face and skin. I tried it for a week and did not see a noticeable difference. I do think it's a great light weight moisturizer.


Nice serum
I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I do thoroughly enjoy this product. It smells absolutely amazing (of course- it smells like oranges). It is very strong scented tho so be aware if you don't like strong scents. The product consistency is what you'd expect of a typical serum. Nothing crazy there. It is orange and does leave a slight orange hue, very very minimal after applying. It absorbs well but does leave a very slight tacky feeling in the skin after applying that does stay around. Not a deal breaker for me but do wish it wasn't a thing. It does a decent job adding some hydration to the skin and evening out your skin texture/tone. I don't have major skin tone or texture issues but notice a small difference. I do feel like my skin is a bit more glowly and would love to keep using the product. Not worth $70 though. If it worked a bit better I'd say yes.

Love this Vitamin C
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I actually love this!! I've had really great success with this vitamin C serum if I use it first thing after I've washed my face in the morning. One quick pump and I've got all I need to cover my skin. It's nice and smooth, isn't gritty feeling like some vitamin C products I've used before. I'm not sure how long the bottle will last, and it is a little on the pricier side but I'll keep using as long as it keeps my redness away!

Smells fantastic
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The smell of this serum is fantastic, fresh and very orange smelling. The texture is smooth not grainy and and it soaked in really nicely leaving the skin feeling soft and smooth. It goes in evenly, moisturizes well and provides a noticeable look in skin texture, it makes the skin look hydrated, bright and smooth rather than dry and dull. I love this!
