Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum 0.5 oz Half-Size — 15% Vitamin C, Hydrating PHA + Hyaluronic Acid

OLE HENRIKSEN Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum is a concentrated 15% vitamin C, PHA and hyaluronic acid serum in a 0.5 oz (15ml) half-size unboxed bottle designed to brighten skin and boost hydration.

This compact, travel-friendly serum blends vitamin C with gentle exfoliating polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) and hyaluronic acid to target dullness, uneven tone and hydration loss without a heavy routine. The formula is inspired by the brand’s signature banana pigments for an immediate brightening effect and is presented here as an unboxed half-size that’s perfect for testing, travel, or supplementing your full regimen.

How does this serum brighten skin and reduce dullness?

The serum uses a 15% vitamin C concentration that supports visible brightening while banana-inspired pigments provide instant optical radiance. PHAs gently exfoliate to improve skin texture and reveal fresher-looking skin without aggressive irritation.

• 15% vitamin C to address pigmentation and dullness
• 5% PHAs for mild, skin-friendly exfoliation
• Banana powder-inspired pigments for immediate visual brightening
• Lightweight, fast-absorbing texture that layers under moisturizers and SPF

Will this hydrate and help plump skin effectively?

Hyaluronic acid is included to draw moisture into the skin for a plumper appearance and to support the skin’s moisture barrier. The result is a smoother, buoyant feel without heavy oils—suitable for many skin types when used as directed.

• Hyaluronic acid locks in hydration for a visibly fuller look
• Non-greasy finish allows easy layering with moisturizers
• Helps maintain moisture balance after exfoliating ingredients

How should I add this half-size serum to my daily routine?

Use a small amount across face and neck once daily, after cleansing and before your moisturizer and SPF. Allow the serum to absorb fully before applying creams; follow with your preferred OLEHENRIKSEN moisturizer for best results.

• Apply evenly to face and neck daily, morning or evening
• Let fully absorb before adding moisturizer or sunscreen
• Ideal as a travel or trial size to evaluate tolerance and results

Is the unboxed half-size right for my skin sensitivity concerns?

The formula balances active brightening with gentle PHAs to reduce the chance of irritation compared with stronger acids. Start with every-other-day use if you have sensitive skin, and patch-test before full-face application.

• Contains PHAs, which are typically milder than AHAs/BHAs
• Start gradually and monitor skin’s response
• Patch test on the inner forearm for two days before regular use
