Hey Everyone! I am seriously backlogged with posts right now! Over the next few days I'm going to be adding a week's worth of posts, so look out for them! Today I'm going to be reviewing my favorite Ole Henriksen product. I like to change out my skincare products from month-to-month, but the only product I continuously use is the Ole Henriksen Truth Serum ($72 for 1.7oz at Sephora). As you can tell from the photo, I stock up on the mini bottles (usually $15 for 0.5oz) whenever they are available at Sephora. Not only is it a better deal (they usually come with other products), it is easier to travel with them and I like their pump much better than the full sized bottle. I have four mini bottles shown in the pic above. One is almost empty (it's the one I'm currently using), two I got in a holiday set with other Ole Henriksen Products, and the the one still in the box I got for very cheap a while ago. Ok, let's talk about the actual product.
The Truth Serum is a vitamin C collagen booster serum. It can be applied once or twice a day, and is made of a stable form of vitamin C (so it is ok that it is not in a light protective bottle). The serum comes in a pump, so no air gets into the packaging. It is a clear orange color, and has the most amazing citrus scent, I find that it is easier to apply this serum to slightly damp skin, so I usually apply a facial water right before this product. If your skin is too dry, it can be a little sticky and pretty hard to spread across your face. So far, the facial water has really worked well, and I recommend using one. Alternatively, you can apply this right after cleansing without drying your face too much before. I have been using this serum as part of my AM routine for at least a year now. Since I only use it once a day, a small bottle will last me about two months. It is a little moisturizing, but not enough for my skin type so I use an additional moisturizer. So, why do I keep using this serum?
I have tried many serums in the past. They all promise things that some deliver and some don't. The reason I keep reaching for the Truth Serum, is because it has completely transformed my skin. I have dry-combo skin that can look pretty dull and uneven. This serum gives me such an amazing glow from within. My acne scars are slowly fading, and my skin looks completely radiant. Since starting to use this serum, I haven't noticed any new fine lines which is a huge deal to me. I love the citrus smell in the morning, and it works well under makeup. If you want an example of how I use this product, check out this post here.
I hope this review was helpful! If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments!
