Ole Henriksen Banana Bright 15% Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum 1 oz — Brightening with PHAs & Hyaluronic Acid

OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright 15% Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum is a daytime-ready, lightweight serum formulated to brighten skin tone, target dark spots, and improve firmness using 15% vitamin C, PHAs, and hyaluronic acid.

This serum blends a concentrated vitamin C complex with polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) and hydrating hyaluronic acid to help even skin tone, refine texture, and deliver a plumping boost. Designed for everyday use in most routines, it layers under sunscreen and makeup to support a more luminous, smoother-looking complexion over time. Formula strength and active ingredients make it a targeted treatment for visible discoloration and loss of radiance.

How does this serum help reduce dark spots and uneven tone?

The formula uses 15% vitamin C to help brighten and reduce the visible appearance of hyperpigmentation while PHAs support gentle exfoliation to reveal smoother skin. Over repeated use, the combined action promotes a more even-looking complexion without aggressive irritation for many skin types.

• 15% stabilized vitamin C targets discoloration and brings luminosity
• 5% PHAs (polyhydroxy acids) provide mild exfoliation and texture refinement
• Lightweight base allows daily application under sunscreen

Will this serum hydrate and plump fine lines?

Hyaluronic acid in the blend helps attract and retain moisture, offering an immediate plumping effect that smooths the look of fine lines. When combined with the brightening and exfoliating actives, skin often appears firmer and more resilient with continued use.

• Hyaluronic acid provides surface hydration and a fuller-looking skin appearance
• Moisture support enhances the smoothing benefits of exfoliating acids
• Non-greasy texture layers well with moisturizers and makeup

Is this serum suitable for sensitive or oily skin types?

Formulated to be effective across normal, dry, combination, and oily skin types, the inclusion of PHAs offers a gentler exfoliation option compared with stronger AHAs. However, those with very sensitive or reactive skin should patch-test and introduce the serum gradually to assess tolerance.

• PHAs provide tolerance-friendly exfoliation for many skin types
• Light texture minimizes heaviness on oily skin and absorbs quickly
• Patch testing reduces risk of irritation for sensitive skin

How do I use it in my skincare routine?

Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin once daily in the morning, patting gently to absorb before sunscreen. For those new to vitamin C or exfoliating acids, start every other day and build up to daily use as tolerated. Consistent application paired with sun protection helps maximize visible brightening while protecting results.

• Use morning after cleansing, before moisturizer and sunscreen
• Begin gradually if you have acid or vitamin C sensitivity
• Daily SPF is essential to maintain results and protect treated skin

Who is this for: This serum is intended for people aiming to brighten dull skin, reduce the look of dark spots, and improve texture and firmness. It suits most skin types—normal, dry, combination, and oily—when introduced correctly; those with very reactive skin should proceed carefully and consult a dermatologist if concerned. Ideal for anyone who wants a targeted daytime treatment that layers comfortably under makeup and SPF.
