OLEHENRIKSENBanana Bright™ Vitamin C Serum

What it is: A powerful age-defying serum—with 15 percent vitamin C, five percent PHAs, and hyaluronic acid—that instantly brightens, visibly firms, plumps skin with hydration, and reduces the appearance of dark spots, pores, and wrinkles.

Skin Type: Normal, Dry, Combination, and Oily

Skincare Concerns: Dullness, Uneven Texture, and Loss of Firmness and Elasticity

Formulation: Lightweight Serum

Highlighted Ingredients:
- Vitamin C (Ethyl Ascorbic Acid) 15%: A potent next-generation vitamin C derivative with superior stability and antioxidant capacity versus traditional vitamin C; this powerful antioxidant helps brighten skin and visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and discoloration, while defending against environmental stressors.
- PHAs (Polyhydroxy Acids) 5%: An innovative alternative to AHAs that helps even skin tone and texture through chemical exfoliation, loosening and lifting dry, dead skin cells, and revealing newer, fresher skin beneath.
- Hyaluronic Acid: Helps plump skin’s surface with hydration and reinforce skin’s moisture barrier.

Ingredient Callouts: This product is vegan and cruelty-free.
