Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Creme 15 ml.

Product Information

O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is a potent, water-soluble vitamin c derivative with superior stability & antioxidant capacity

I think the eye cream is worth it because of how drastic my results were for my dark circles—and my skin maintains the brightening effect from this cream as I continue using it. For how long the jar lasts me and the incredible results, it's worth the higher price than, say, some drugstore creams. Instead of turning to painful and (even more) expensive fillers, I’m glad to have a product I can use at home that actually works. While there are definitely cheaper vitamin C-infused eye creams on the market, this jar has years of research behind it, quality ingredients, and will last you for about six months. (I've been using it for two months straight and I'm not even halfway through the jar.) To me, it's totally worth it to have a product that immediately improves the appearance of my under-eye circles while also improving and protecting my skin over time. But only you can make the decision for yourself. TETRAHEXYLDECYL (THD) ASCORBATE: an extremely stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C that pairs well with other types of vitamin C As someone who's had serious dark under-eye circles since I was a kid, I'd been on the hunt for a brightening eye cream (that actually works) for years before I discovered the original Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Crème. It's the top-selling eye cream at Sephora and a Byrdie go-to for reducing the appearance of dark circles—plus, Kim Kardashian is reportedly a fan. It earned a permanent place in my routine the moment I applied it to my skin.GOLD COMPLEXED VITAMIN C: ascorbic acid (aka pure vitamin C) and super-antioxidant glutathione combine with real gold to create a highly stable, water-soluble complex that improves delivery of vitamin C to surface layer of your skin Banana Bright Serum contains 15% 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, which is a light-and-air-stable vitamin C derivative. So, contrary to the name of this eye cream, banana is not one of its ingredients; the name is inspired by banana powder, a yellow-tinted powder that makeup artists use to brighten and color-correct dull skin.

We are so excited to introduce the new and improved Banana Bright+ Eye Crème to our loyal fans and hope this new innovation speaks to an even wider consumer audience," says Ole Henriksen, Founder of OLEHENRIKSEN. "By taking our tried-and-true product and fortifying it with even more effective ingredients for even stronger results, we know consumers will see brighter and better skin they can be proud of."

OLE HENRIKSEN Skincare was born out of young man's perseverance to heal his own skin. His story starts in a small Danish town, where at the age of 18, Ole was plagued with cystic acne, forcing his normally bright personality to turn inwards. Finally, after a serendipitous meeting with a renowned holistic skincare healer, he was inspired to embrace the transformative power of skincare. As the acne faded away, Ole's bright and glowing personality returned. Transforming lives through skin wellness has become Ole's life's work, and it was this commitment to transformative skincare that led him to become the world's first celebrity facialist. The "Ole Glow" became so coveted, that, in 1983, he decided to bottle his expertly crafted formulas and launch his namesake brand, OLE HENRIKSEN Skincare. O-ETHYL ASCORBIC ACID: a potent, water-soluble vitamin c derivative with superior stability and antioxidant capacity The cream contains vitamin C. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant. It can help to minimise sun damage, suppress the formation of pigment spots, and increase collagen formation. Ole Henriksen SkincareGold Complexed Vitamin C ascorbic acid (pure vitamin C) + super-antioxidant glutathione combined with real gold to create a highly stable, water-soluble complex that improves delivery of vitamin C to surface layer of your skin I started to research what causes dark circles and how to get rid of them, or at least make them less noticeable. That’s when I found out that family history, diet, and sleep can all impact the development of dark circles. I also learned that the shadows I was seeing around my eyes can be caused by an excess of pigment in the skin. I wasn’t the only one in my family who saw dark circles at such a relatively young age, so the hereditary option seemed like the most likely possibility. Powered by a potent triple vitamin C complex with REAL gold, which improves delivery of vitamin C to the skin, Banana Bright+ Eye Crème is clinically formulated to instantly brighten, smooth and hydrate undereyes, while also visibly reducing fine lines and wrinkles and defending skin against harmful free radicals and pollution.

Since the launch of Banana Bright Eye Crème, we discovered an exciting gold complexed vitamin C active that inspired us to upgrade Banana Bright Eye Crème to deliver bigger and brighter benefits," says Riva Barak, SVP of Product Development at Ole Henriksen. "Banana Bright+ combines this upgraded gold complexed vitamin C with the two additional powerhouse forms of vitamin C included in the original–3,O-ethyl ascorbic acid (aka ethyl ascorbic acid) and tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate–to deliver more potent benefits to the skin.

As per our editorial policy, we are constantly updating our content, to make sure it reflects the best of the best when it comes to beauty, wellness, and fashion. We want to assure our readers that we still stand by our recommendations, which we do. Overall, it's an incredible formula that's perfect for daily use—it's fragrance-free, it doesn't pill, plumps fine lines, and has the added benefit of immediate brightening of the under-eye area (especially when you layer it under concealer). The new and improved Banana Bright+ is even better than the original, and it's something I'll definitely be repurchasing over and over. This has also been tested and chosen as best for dark circles for our best eye creams for men.

Both Banana Bright and Truth Serum brighten, firm, hydrate and improve the look of skin texture. The main difference is that Banana Bright Serum is Ole’s highest concentration of vitamin C for daily use (15%). Banana Bright also contains 5% PHAs (polyhydroxy acids), which is a unique chemical exfoliant. Truth Serum contains an enhanced, stable vitamin C derivative (sodium ascorbyl phosphate) along with nourishing collagen. If you’re new to using vitamin C skincare, we recommend starting with Truth Serum. Once you’ve developed a tolerance and want a higher concentration of vitamin C, we say glow bananas. The vegan, fragrance-free formula also features our iconic universally-flattering light-reflecting mineral pigments—inspired by makeup artist must-have, banana powder—to instantly-color-correct and revive tired undereyes. But that’s not all: It’s also crease-resistant and improves concealer wear.The skin under your eyes is up to 10x thinner than the rest of your face—and far more delicate. This potent vitamin C eye cream is highly effective, but might not be ideal for those with sensitive skin.Banana Bright+ Eye Crème is your new go-to, all-in-one brightening eye cream for incredible instant and overtime benefits: POWERHOUSE FORMS OF VITAMIN C THAT WORK TOGETHER TO BRIGHTEN, VISIBLY REDUCE DARK CIRCLES + BOOST ELASTICITY, WHILE DEFENDING SKIN AGAINST POLLUTION I have dark, genetic under-eye circles that can't be erased with a topical eye cream alone (I'd need filler for that). And that's okay! My dark circles aren't caused by hyperpigmentation or an actual tint to the skin—they're actually a result of my muscles showing through my (very) thin under-eye skin. Because my under-eye skin is already so thin and dry in my late 20s, I tend to reach for eye creams with a peachy tint that can deliver an immediate brightening effect by neutralizing some of the blue tones in my under-eyes, and ones that offer some antioxidant protection to help protect my skin in this area from aging more rapidly. This formula contains less than 1% fragrance, which is naturally derived from oranges and rigorously tested for safety, toxicity and allergens.
