Ole Henriksen Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturizer in yellow tube

Peptide Overachiever

Ole Henriksen moisturizer

Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturizer

The most ambitiously loaded peptide moisturizer on the market — eight peptides, three ceramides, dual HA, niacinamide, and collagen in a single cream. The ingredient list reads like an entire anti-aging routine condensed into one product, and the visible firming and plumping effects are immediate. The added fragrance is the only real misstep in an otherwise exceptional formula.

Overnight Firming Treatment

Ole Henriksen moisturizer

Dewtopia 5% Acid Firming Night Crème

A genuinely innovative night cream that merges AHA exfoliation with bakuchiol firming and edelweiss antioxidant protection in a single, richly nourishing formula. It's one of the smarter multi-active night treatments on the market — though the $60 price and citrus oils keep it from being universally recommendable.

Dark Circle Brightening Star

Ole Henriksen eye-cream

Banana Bright Eye Crème

A genuinely clever eye cream that borrowed a makeup artist trick and turned it into legitimate skincare. The banana-toned tint provides instant dark circle correction while a triple vitamin C complex works on the underlying pigmentation. Effective, elegant, and one of the few eye creams that delivers both immediate and long-term results.

Vitamin C Glow Moisturizer

Ole Henriksen moisturizer

C-Rush Vitamin C Gel Crème

A crowd-pleasing vitamin C moisturizer that delivers instant glow and long-term brightening through a clever triple-C approach, wrapped in a gel-cream texture that makes daily vitamin C feel like a treat. The fragrance and jar packaging are compromises, but the formula itself is genuinely well-engineered.

Glow2OH Dark Spot Toner

A potent, genuinely effective AHA toner that fights dark spots on two fronts — exfoliating existing pigmentation while inhibiting new melanin production. The generous 6.5 oz bottle, strong user ratings, and visible results within weeks make it one of the best acid toners at this price point, if your skin can handle the fragrance.

Retinol-Free Eye Innovator

Ole Henriksen eye-cream

Wrinkle Blur Bakuchiol Eye Gel Cream

A clever multi-target eye cream that pairs bakuchiol with peptides and dark circle actives in an innovative dual-chamber system. The instant blurring gratifies while the long-term ingredients genuinely work — but fragrance around the eyes and a $46 price tag for 0.6 oz demand consideration.

OG Night Exfoliator (Discontinued)

Ole Henriksen treatment

Invigorating Night Transformation Gel

The OG overnight acid treatment that established Ole Henriksen's reputation for sleep-and-glow skincare. Now discontinued in favor of the Dewtopia line, this potent glycolic-lactic gel delivered undeniable morning-after brightening — with the caveat that its drying tendencies and fragrance limited its audience.

Ole Henriksen Balance It All Essentials Set with three green products including cleanser, toner, and moisturizer

Oily Skin Starter Kit

Ole Henriksen treatment

Balance It All Essentials Set

A thoughtfully designed three-step acid system for oily skin that delivers visible oil control and glow within days. The travel sizes make it an ideal trial run for the Balance line, though sensitive skin types should steer clear of the eucalyptus-peppermint-and-acids combination.

Ole Henriksen cleanser

Truth Juice Daily Cleanser

A sensory-forward gel cleanser that delivers a satisfying morning ritual with its burst of citrus and gentle PHA exfoliation, but the real benefits are more experiential than transformative — and the citrus essential oils limit its audience. Best for normal-to-combination skin types who prioritize the feel of their cleansing step.

Glow-Boosting Brightener

Ole Henriksen serum

Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum

A serum that delivers on the instant-glow promise with its golden pigments and builds genuine brightening results over weeks with 15% vitamin C and PHA. The citrus essential oils are the deal-breaker: if your skin tolerates them, this is a lovely daily brightener and makeup primer. If it doesn't, the burning will send you running.

Pore-Refining Cool Down

Ole Henriksen moisturizer

Cold Plunge Pore Remedy Moisturizer

A gel-cream that turns your morning moisturizer step into a mini cold-plunge facial, with a smart LHA-plus-BHA exfoliation strategy underneath the cooling theatrics. If your oily skin craves that tightening, spa-like sensation and your pores need regular decongesting, it delivers. If you're sensitive or fragrance-averse, the eucalyptus and menthol will send you elsewhere.

Glow-Obsessed Makeup Prep

Ole Henriksen moisturizer

Banana Bright+ Instant Glow Moisturizer

A moisturizer that nails the instant-glow experience with its golden pigments and pleasant texture, but the vitamin C concentrations appear modest for the $54 price tag. Best understood as a luxury sensorial experience and makeup-prep step rather than a serious vitamin C treatment — beautiful on the surface, with less substance underneath than the ingredient list suggests.
