SOMETHING HAS CHANGED - SEVERE REACTION
I use a few products from Ole Henriksen and have been happy. However, I just purchased a new bottle of the Vit C banana serum, somthing in this product has changed, I have worken up with a severe reaction all around my eyes, very red, swollen and burning! I have had to make a doctors appointment. I am not the only person this has happened to recently having read many, many similar reviews online. PLEASE LOOK AT THIS PRODUCT IMMEDIATELY!

Instantly brightens skin
I love this , smells fresh , it brightens and fades dark spots . It also reduces the appearance of pores and fine lines . I have seen a difference in my skin using this and then the Peptide boost moisturiser. Definitely will buy again

The tiniest amount of product
There is definitely not 30 ml of product in this packaging. I measured the amount that fits in the tiny container, inside the big container and it allowed only for 2,5 ml!!!!
I would like an explanation

Catastrophic
Never would have thought I would have such a bad reaction with this brand. Dried out my skin. Red patches, tiny blistering pimples, itching and burning. Eye cream was bad as well. Swelling and dark circles. I want to cry. Do not buy this product. So upset feel like suing them.

Something is very different
This product made my face and neck break out in a very itchy swollen red rash. I have little hive bumps all over my face and neck. It didn’t occur until 8 hours after applying. I’ve used this product years ago, money got tight, so I discontinued for a few years. I just bought the pack of banana bright eye cream, moisturizer and serum only to discover something has changed in their products. My face is on fire as I type this. I will never purchase ever again.

Good product!
So good so far! The smell is a bit off putting at first but soon goes away. For people slating this product for allergic reactions… vitamin c is a common allergy and some people just don’t react well to it, that doesn’t mean it’s a bad product, it’s just not for! I personally really like it for my skin.

Not for everyday use or people with sensitive skin
This is very strong. Not for everyday use or people with sensitive skin. I wouldn't recommend.
I used this daily product for a few weeks and then developed what looked like eczema on my cheeks, neck, forehead and temples. I've used Vitamin C serums from other brands for years, so I never thought it would be the Ole Henriksen Vitamin C - I thought the tight skin and redness were winter dryness that just wouldn't go away. I started experimenting with adding more gentle products and testing what I was currently using.
After a month of painful trial and error - and being turned away at the medspa for any treatments because my skin was so inflamed - I realized it was this product that was wrecking my skin. I had stopped using it for three weeks, along with any other actives. Once my skin had improved I reintroduced this product as the ONLY active and two days after using it, the redness, burning and inflammation started up again.
I've seen other reviewers say that this isn't for beginners or people should do their research before putting this on. No, it shouldn't be this difficult for consumers. The onus is on the manufacturer to put those warnings on the label. People shouldn't have to be scientists or have their skin get inflamed to find out how strong this is or how sparingly this should be used. I've used many Vitamin C serums and never had a reaction to this. It's just not a good user friendly product. I wouldn't recommend.

Serum
If feels good on the skin and it smells good. It doesn’t leave an oily mark and I’m quite happy with it.
