  • Noticeably brightening skincare results
  • Lightweight, fast-absorbing textures

Ole Henriksen earns positive reviews for effective brightening and hydrating formulas—Banana Bright+ Eye Crème, Glow2OH Dark Spot Toner, and Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum deliver smoother texture, glow, and makeup-friendly wear—yet feedback flags artificial fragrances and some products that feel greasy or pill, with occasional weak tint or average performance. Overall, the brand works for radiance and moisture, but scent intensity, absorption, and pigment payoff can disappoint.

  • The Peptide Lip Treatment is honestly the only thing that keeps my lips hydrated during freezing temps in Michigan (and I don't have to reapply it constantly!) I love pairing it with a lip liner for a warm nude, "no makeup" makeup look.

  • This CC stick is okay, but it didn’t really wow me. It blends on pretty easily and gives a nice, natural finish that evens out my skin tone, but I didn’t notice anything especially impressive about it. It works fine for quick, everyday touch-ups and is convenient to use on the go, but overall it feels pretty average to me.

  • I didn’t expect to fall in love with an eye cream this fast. This one honestly feels like a little miracle in a jar. The moment I apply it, my under-eyes look instantly brighter and more awake. What surprised me the most is how it softens the look of fine lines too. It doesn’t just hydrate, it actually makes my under-eye area look smoother and healthier overall. It’s super lightweight, absorbs quickly, and works beautifully under makeup, no creasing, no weird texture. If you’re looking for something that gives you an immediate glow + a smoother under-eye look, this is definitely worth trying

  • I really love this lip balm. It’s so hydrating without being sticky or tacky. I also love the orange creamsicle scent! This is my go-to lip balm on a daily basis, and I think it’s very worth the price.

  • I’ll be honest, I wasn’t expecting much. Another acid mask, another promise. But the Dewtopia 25% Acid Flash Facial Mask genuinely surprised me, and now I kind of can’t stop talking about it. First, just look at it. That creamy, golden, almost luminous texture is doing something right before it even touches your face. It looks like something you’d find in a high-end spa cabinet, and it applies like a dream. The results? Instant glow. Not the “maybe if I tilt my face toward the window” kind of glow. The actual, noticeable, people-will-ask-what-you’re-doing kind of glow. My skin felt deeply refreshed, properly clean without any of that tight, stripped feeling you sometimes get with acid-based products, and genuinely radiant afterward. The texture deserves its own mention because it’s unusually pleasant for a mask in this category. Smooth, rich, almost satisfying to apply. It makes the whole ritual feel indulgent rather than medicinal. If you’re looking for a quick reset that actually delivers, this is it. Highly recommend.

  • The packaging is super cute, and I love the fact that I don't need to dip my finger into the product. The smell is clean, and it makes the lips feel very smooth but I will say it’s a bit pricey for the amount you get.

  • This is such a nice high quality lip treatment! Adds amazing hydration to your lips and smells soooo delicious. I have a few different colours and they all leave a light tint to the lips. The formula is not too thin also so it tends to last longer than some of my other lip treatments.

  • I've really enjoyed using the Banana Bright+ Eye Crème from Ole Henriksen. The formula feels lightweight yet moisturizing, and it instantly brightens my under-eye area for a more refreshed look. It absorbs quickly, works well under makeup, and helps keep my under-eyes hydrated throughout the day. With continued use, my eye area appears smoother, brighter, and more awake. It's a great addition to my skincare routine when I want a healthy, radiant look.

  • I've been using the Glow2OH Dark Spot Toner from Ole Henriksen and it's been a great addition to my skincare routine. The lightweight formula helps gently exfoliate my skin, leaving it looking brighter, smoother, and more radiant after each use. I've noticed improvement in my overall skin texture and a more even-looking complexion over time. It absorbs quickly, layers well with the rest of my skincare products, and gives my skin a healthy glow without feeling heavy. It's a great option for anyone looking to target dullness, uneven tone, and post-breakout marks.

  • My holy grail lip!! Seriously this one is my fav of all the lip options. It gives enough color without being too pigmented. I can put it on without looking and it lasts forever!! Seriously so nice and plush on the lips

  • I’m not really sure if I like this one or not it’s not greasy though and it seems like it keeps my skin sort of hydrated. Maybe I need to use this more to know for sure. I would buy this for a friend.

  • This lippie was on my wishlist for so long since I had heard many good things about it so I had pretty high expectations. I got it last week as a bday gift and so far I really like it! It is slightly thicker than your average lip balm but it doesn’t feel heavy or too annoying. I like that it gives your lips a nice glowy finish without getting sticky or making you get those white little clumps. I have the Strawberry Sorbet one and it smells like those little strawberry purse candies (iykyk) 🥰 Overall, I think it does meet my expectations so far since it does help my lips feel hydrated, gives them a nice shiny look, and it doesn’t feel sticky at all. The one thing I wish was that it gave more pigment/tint since it’s pretty sheer. Yes it is worth the hype!!!

  • The Ole Henriksen peptide lip treatments are next level. They are the only thing that keeps my lips moisturized. The tinted colors stay pretty well which is a HUGE plus. It almost looks like a lip gloss, but it's truly the most nourishing product I've put on my lips.

  • While I was drawn to the presentation of the brand's firming body oil and blurring eye gel, I don't think I'll be repurchasing either. Both products tend to sit on the skin without fully absorbing, leaving you with slick, greasy skin in the case of the body oil and a slippery makeup base that can pill for the eye gel. The body oil packaging is also not very secure and prone to leaking.

  • I recently tried Ole Henriksen's BeamCream Smoothing Body Moisturizer, made with fruit enzymes and caffeine. It was a large container (190ML) for the price ($38.00). As soon as I opened it, there was a wonderful fruity smell. The lotion itself was creamy and silky. It tingled on my face but felt perfect on my arms and legs. It did make my skin feel smoother. There's so much in the jar that I'm sure it will last me for some time. I would like to try their Vitamin C Serum next.

  • This is a color correcting eye cream stick that diminishes the look of dark circles, visibly brightens and hydrates. I apply this to the crease between my eyes and nose where it's the darkest. It covers it nicely even though the shape and size of the stick sometimes makes it difficult to apply. I apply it by swiping a little bit on with the stick and then usually dabbing it with my finger until it's nice and smooth. I only do a little at a time to avoid the cakey look. I won't use any other concealer on top of it, I don't need it.

  • Overall I like Ole Henriksen products, but some of their products are artificially scented which I find unnecessary. The products from the vitamin C line are all very hydrating and gentle. Not sure they do much for pigmentation, but they do make my skin appear healthier. One of my favorite products from the line is the Banana Bright Primer. The pigment isn’t glitter, it’s not gloss, or an oil. It’s almost like tiny tiny particles that glow and just blend beautifully into your skin. Your skin is left looking sheen and luminous, but not sticky or oily. Can wear it alone after moisturizer or under makeup.

  • This banana bright sun kiss is life.. I mean i love to feel glowy so I love it is not sticky I love bc is light n have vitamin c… self tanner

  • The best Vitamin C I've ever tried. Ole Henriksen is definitely on the pricey side, but it is totally worth the buck. Banana Bright Serum smells like oranges and makes your skin bright & fresh. The Gel Creme is super lightweight and doesn't clog pores.

  • I really needed to include vitamin C into my skin care regimen. The last consistent time I used vit C was the Sunday Reily Vit C cream. This time I wanted a serum, a higher strength one. I went with Ole Henriksen, 15%. Perfect, my skin is resilient so wasn’t concerned of the strength. Obviously proceed with a lower strength if you have sensitive skin. Anyway it’s only been a few days and I’m beaming with joy already. My skin is combination I would say, previous sun damage, was looking lack lustre. This has started working well, no irritation as of yet. My skin the next day has a slight peeling effect, great! The skin must be renewing! It has gentle PHA’s which exfoliates the skin. 5%. Also has hyaluronic acid in. Which explains the no irritation. They’ve thought of it all with this product. It’s a light weight gel, smells of citrus, not over powering at all. I love it.
