In Partnership With Ole Henriksen.
I love glow. From glossy hair to sparkly outfits, to dewy skin there’s nothing matte in my life.
So, when I found out that Ole Henriksen was launching their best-selling Banana+ Bright eye cream as a moisturiser, I knew I had to get my hands on it.
And if you’ve been living under a skincare rock and haven’t heard of this little pot of gold, let me give you a quick refresher.
What Is the Banana Bright+ Eye Cream?
Named as Allure Reader’s choice as their winner for 2023, this eye cream should be on your bingo card if dark circles are your concern.
It features:
3 forms of Vitamin C to work on breaking up existing pigment.
Hardy orange extract to neutralise free radical damage.
Banana pigments to illuminate the skin.
There’s a reason it’s been named the best eye cream.
When I finally received the moisturiser however, I realised that the formula was slightly different to its little sister...
Difference Between Ole Henriksen Banana Bright+ Eye Cream and Moisturiser.
I don’t know why but I thought it would be the exact same formulation, because the skin on the rest of our face needs different ingredients to the skin under our eyes (hence why an eye cream and face creams exist as two separate categories) but… I did.
So, if you’re like me and expecting a carbon copy of the eye cream, you’ll be thrilled to know that the new Banana Bright+ Instant Glow Moisturizer still has:
One of the three forms of vitamin C that’s in the eye cream, the gold-complexed Vitamin C (which in my opinion is the best one) because it’s pure ascorbic acid combined with real gold to improve the delivery of vitamin C to the skin. This is also what gives the skin that brightness and bounce.
It also has the light reflecting banana pigments to conceal uneven skin tone and leave you with a radiant base.
In addition, it also has one of my favourite ingredients, niacinamide which helps to control excess oil flow (perfect for my acne prone babes), brighten your complexion, and lighten those stubborn spots.
Along with hyaluronic and polyglutamic acid which binds the moisture to the skin and leaves it feeling juicy, delicious, and hydrated.
They’ve also thrown in Scandinavian cloudberrry seed oil which promotes the renewal and growth of new skin cells.
