What owners single out
In their words
“I love using the Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum in my morning routine. The formula feels lightweight and absorbs fast without being sticky. I like that it has 15% vitamin C, PHA and hyaluronic acid, so it helps brighten, gently smooth and keeps my skin hydrated at the same time. The scent is lightly sweet, and it layers well under SPF and makeup.”

“I absolutely love this vitamin C. I have not used one that is so effective so fast. The application is smooth and it smells amazing. I get such good results from this serum. It clears my skin and visibly brightens and evens my skin tone. It is pricey which isn’t great, but I’ve never used a better one.”
