Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum 1 oz — 15% Vitamin C, Hydrating PHA Formula

OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright 15% Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum is a concentrated brightening serum that visibly evens skin tone, fades dark spots, and boosts hydration.

This lightweight 1.0 oz (30 mL) treatment blends a high-strength 15% vitamin C complex with gentle exfoliating PHAs and hyaluronic acid to target dullness, discoloration, and loss of firmness. Formulated for daily use, it aims to deliver a more radiant, smoother-looking complexion without heavy residue, suitable for a range of skin types including normal, dry, combination, and oily.

How does this serum address dark spots and uneven tone?

The formula combines 15% vitamin C, which helps brighten skin’s appearance, with polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) that gently exfoliate surface texture. These ingredients work together to reduce the look of discoloration while supporting a clearer, more even complexion over time.

• 15% vitamin C complex for visible brightening effects
• 5% PHAs to refine texture without harsh irritation
• Lightweight delivery that layers under moisturizers and sunscreen

Will this hydrate and plump without feeling sticky?

Yes. Hyaluronic acid draws and locks in moisture to create a visibly plumper look, while the serum’s fast-absorbing base keeps skin comfortable rather than tacky. The result is hydrated, smoother-feeling skin that appears firmer and more supple.

• Hyaluronic acid for multi-depth hydration
• Non-greasy texture suitable for morning or evening use
• Packs hydration while maintaining makeup-friendly finish

How quickly can I expect to see changes in pores, lines, and brightness?

Individual results vary, but many users notice improved surface brightness and softer texture within a few weeks of regular use. Continued application helps reduce the visible appearance of pores and fine lines as skin looks more even and resilient.

• Early improvement in radiance and texture after consistent use
• Ongoing use supports reduced visibility of pores and fine lines
• Best combined with daily SPF to protect brightened skin

How should I add this serum into my skincare routine?

Use on clean, dry skin before heavier treatments and moisturizers—apply a few drops and smooth evenly across face. It works well in both morning and evening routines; if using in the morning, follow with broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect treated skin.

• Apply after cleansing and toning, before moisturizer
• Mornings: follow with SPF; evenings: can layer with nourishing creams
• Start gradually if you have sensitive skin and patch-test first
