Ole Henriksen Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturiser

 

Put a little oomph back into your complexion with Ole Henriksen’s new Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturiser.

Dubbed as a ‘personal trainer for your skin’, this skin strengthening daily moisturiser offers instant and long-lasting hydration while boosting the elasticity and firmness of your skin for a healthier, younger looking, more radiant complexion.

Jam packed full of a host of skin loving ingredients, its melting balm-to-gel texture delivers rich hydration with an unexpected but delightful lightweight feel.

 

 

Featuring a beautifully light, soft, refreshing yuzu-like scent it is my current go-to when my tired skin is in need of a pick-me-up.

Suitable for all skin types including sensitive and acne prone, it is perfect for those with drier complexions but equally is light enough for oily-combination complexions like mine.

Boasting a host of powerful ingredients, its got everything that your skin needs and craves to restore a healthy glow in next to no time.

 

 

The velvety balm has been formulated with a blend of 8 peptides which help to build strength and effortlessly condition skin while 3 types of ceramides fortify your skins moisture barrier helping to bind and retain moisture.

Essential fatty acids including linoleic acid and linolenic acid help to deeply moisturise and soften your skin, 8 amino acids help to hydrate and support your skins elasticity and a combination of Vitamin E, Vitamin B12, Niacinamide and Panthenol work together to support a healthy looking complexion from the inside out.

 

 

Collagen helps to further bolster your skins firmness, boosting hydration and skins elasticity while natural moisturising factors including sodium PCA and amino acids plus humectants hyaluronic acid and sodium lactate deliver instant and long lasting moisture to plump the skin.

Captured within a lavender hued recyclable glass jar, the moisturiser feels as if it melts into your skin, quenching dry complexions instantly before being quickly absorbed.

Instantly skin is left feeling soft, hydrated and plumped without a hint of greasiness.

 

Unlike some creams which can take time to be absorbed, its as if this moisturiser becomes one with your own skin, working as an invisible shield of moisture to protect and plump all day long.

It’s not just me that’s a fan though, in an 8 week clinical study 97% of participants agreed that the product gave their skin a healthy bounce, 100% agreed that their skin felt less stressed and 97% agreed that it had helped to restore a healthy looking complexion.

 

 

Those are pretty decent stats right there!

Ole Henriksen’s Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturiser is available now and costs £40 for 50ml.

Ole Henriksen Truth Collection

Discover the secret to a brighter, more radiant looking skin with the Truth Collection from Ole Henriksen.

This comprehensive range of skincare products has been infused with Vitamin C to help create brighter, firmer skin and comprises of everything you could need to help you on your way, from a cleanser to serum, moisturiser to primer.

I’ve selected three of my favourite products from this range to introduce to you today.

First up is the gorgeous C-Rush Brightening Gel Crème (£37).

This lightweight, refreshing and moisturising gel-moisturiser helps fight back against dull, tired looking complexions which can occur as a result of stress, fatigue and even pollution while simultaneously reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Peachy coloured with a soft, citrus scent, the formula is powered by three separate sources of Vitamin C which have been chosen specifically for their efficacy in skincare.

Ascorbic Acid (pure vitamin C) is paired with 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid and Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, two light-and-air stable vitamin C derivatives known for their antioxidant properties.

This trio work together in harmony to deliver gentle but powerful anti-ageing benefits while rejuvenating tired, dull skin.

Meanwhile Rose of Winter extract (an antioxidant-rich flower from Jeju Island in Korea known for its resilience) effortlessly nourishes and deeply conditions your skin.

Silky and feather-light in texture, the gel-cream is perfect for those with oilier complexions due to its thinness.

It glides across your skin, comforting and hydrating as it goes without feeling heavy or clogging your skin.

Skin is left feeling beautifully soft, smooth and ready for the day ahead.

Next is the luscious Banana Bright Eye Crème (£33).

Tired eyes, dark circles and fine lines around the eye area are my biggest skincare concern and this little pot of sunshine really does the trick.

 

The eye cream has been created to instantly target the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while reducing the look of dark circles to leave you with firmer, brighter, younger looking eyes.

Formulated with potent Vitamin C and collagen, it has been inspired by the makeup artist must-have,“banana powder”.

It contains special pigments which work to brighter and colour correct the eye area, offering instant results while its luxurious yet lightweight texture comforts, firms and protects the delicate skin around the eye.

I love this eye cream.

It has a beautiful, light, silky texture which melts into the skin, refreshing and reviving as it goes while the clever little pigments work immediately to brighten dark circles.

 

 

Quickly absorbed, it leaves the entire eye area perfectly prepped for makeup application and actually helps to improve the longevity of my under eye concealer as well as helping to ensure that it doesn’t settle into fine lines, or crack and fade throughout the day.

Last but by no means least is the fabulous Banana Bright Face Primer (£28).

You know my saying, ‘It’s a crime not to prime’, and this is an awesome primer peeps.

Much like the eye cream, this primer is sort of a makeup-skincare hybrid thanks to its range of skincare loving qualities plus makeup elements.

 

Enriched with Vitamin C, the key ingredient which runs through the entire ‘Truth’ line, it provides your skin with a boost of hydration and radiance while the banana powder pigments lifts and brightens.

Its soft, peachy hue has an almost iridescent quality to it, though don’t expect huge amounts of shimmer, it is just enough to notice a difference without being over-the-top.

 

Lightweight, soft and silky in texture it is great for oily skinned people like myself who often struggle to find primers that are light enough not to feel heavy on your skin.

Once applied, you’ll notice that the primer has created an almost soft-focus effect on your skin, blurring imperfections and creating a flawless canvas for your makeup.

Hydrating without flooding your skin, it creates a beautiful, natural looking dewy effect.

Skin feels refreshed, looks healthy, awake and the way in which it hugs your makeup ensures that you’re looking as gorgeous at the end of the day as you did at the start.

Ole Henriksen’s Truth Collection of Vitamin C enriched products are all available now from Boots.

Ole Henriksen Dewtopia 20% Acid Night Treatment

 Take full advantage of your skins ability to repair and heal as you sleep with Ole Henriksen’s new Dewtopia™ 20% Acid Night Treatment.

This potent night treatment has been formulated with 20% acid blend smooths your skin texture, firms, improves elasticity and targets the appearance of dark spots, pores, fine lines and wrinkles.

 

Presented in a compact, frosted glass bottle with pump dispenser for hygiene, this super serum walks an impressive balancing act, offering both superior exfoliation and nourishing and replenishing qualities.

10% AHAs and 10% PHAs chemically exfoliate your complexion, promoting a healthier, brighter, smoother looking and feeling complexion.

Meanwhile, aloe juice, Nordic birch sap and cotton water seek to nourish and deeply condition your skin while licorice extract gets to work reducing the appearance of dark spots and pigmentation.

 

The serum itself is simply divine.

Presenting with a soft yellow hue, it features a deliciously soft, sweet lemon sugar scent which is both comforting and reviving.

Unlike many serums which can feel oily or watery, Dewtopia possesses a velvety, custard-like texture.

Decadent and rich, its thick texture betrays its lightness when applied to freshly cleansed skin.

Apply evenly to both your face and neck at night after cleansing and prior to using your night cream or moisturiser.

As with acids, you may experience mild tingling on application which is completely normal, however it is recommended that you introduce the serum into your daily skincare routine gradually by beginning with just one application a week before gradually building up to 2-3 times per week once you have assessed your skins tolerance.

 

I have been using Dewtopia bi-weekly for a number of weeks and I’m totally sold.

Firstly, I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s one of the best smelling skincare products I own, which is impressive given it contains less than 1% synthetic fragrances.

Secondly, its soft, voluptuous texture is thoroughly enjoyable. It won’t leave your skin feeling oily or greasy, in fact once applied it all but disappears without a trace, meaning it doesn’t interfere with the next step of your skincare regime.

Texture and scent aside, it actually works too.

 

With two young kids I often find myself tired and rather run ragged which reflects pretty much instantly on my face in the form of a dull, tired looking complexion.

After using Dewtopia regularly, my skin absolutely looks and feels brighter, softer and smoother.

While I haven’t noticed a huge difference in the appearance of my fine lines and wrinkles, it has definitely improved the appearance of my dark spots caused by sun damage and im not alone in experiencing these results.

From an 8 week clinical study on 36 women, after 4 weeks 97% of users agreed that their skin had a healthier glow, 94% agreed that their skin felt softer and smoother and 92% agreed that the product effectively retexturized their skin.

Those are some impressive figures right there.

Priced at £46 for 30ml, I’d label Dewtopia as a mid-priced night time treatment and if you’re looking to step up your acid treatments and are looking for a product that can deliver, then this is the serum for you.

Ole Henriken’s Dewtopia 20% Acid Night Treatment is available now and costs £46.

Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum

Super charge your skincare regime this winter thanks to Ole Henriksen’s Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum (£53).

This bottle of sunshine seeks to firm, hydrate and illuminate your complexion, creating skin that radiates health on even the darkest, gloomiest of days.

Say goodbye to dull, tired looking skin with this hard working skincare hero infused with three Ole Glow icons, Vitamin C, Exfoliating Acids and Banana Powder inspired pigments.

 

 

A product you can truly trust, Ole has been changing the skincare landscape game since the very beginning where he was a pioneer in bringing vitamin C to the skincare world and pushed boundaries when he brought makeup artist secret “banana powder” to our daily routines.

In this serum, he has combined these key skincare brighteners and paired them with smoothing PHA’s and hydration hero hyaluronic acid to create a multi-acid serum with the brands highest concentration of Vitamin C.

The powerful, bright serum contains 15% Vitamin C, an antioxidant that is know to brighten the complexion, reducing the appearance of dark spots and pores while improving the elasticity in your skin and protecting against environmental aggressors such as pollution. 

5% PHAs (Polyhydroxy Acids) offer a plumper alternative to regular AHAs and gently exfoliate your skin to reveal fresher, newer healthier skin below while evening skin tone and overall texture.

Skin’s hero element Hyaluronic Acid actively plumps your skins surface while locking in moisture while antioxidant rich Vitamin E helps to stabilise the Vitamin C while conditioning your skin.

Finally, Banana Powder inspired pigments offer an natural illumination that seeks to aid colour correction.

It’s certainly an impressive line up of key ingredients but the results are even more exciting.

 

In a consumer study on 34 women, after 1 week of using Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum 91% agreed that the serum brightened their skin, 93% said that their skin felt revitalized and 94% agreed that it helped to create healthier looking skin.

So, the serum itself is orange in colour and smells wonderfully refreshing, juicy and zesty with soft notes of citrus fruits.

Relatively thick in texture for a serum, it is surprisingly lightweight when applied onto your skin.

Quickly absorbed, the paraben, sulfate and phthalate free formula instantly gets to work to hydrate and plump your skin while leaving behind a subtle but noticeable illumination that instantly lifts and brightens your complexion.

 

As it contains relatively high levels of Vitamin C as patch test is suggested prior to use, however I found that it caused no ill effects on my sensitive skin.

I did only begin with applying a small amount so would certainly suggest that you do the same for the first few times you use it to assess your skins tolerance to it.

I apply the serum to freshly cleansed skin prior to using a moisturiser and I quickly noticed a difference to both the look and texture of my skin.

My skin felt softer and smoother after just a week and despite having oily/combination skin it didn’t feel too heavy on my face.

 

 

I actually felt that my skin was so nourished that I skipped my moisturiser on several occasions but if you have normal or dry skin then you should definitely still use your moisturiser.

I adore this serum; its bright, sunny, fresh scent feels reviving in the mornings and I love the healthy glow that it offers immediately.

If you are in the market for a new serum I highly suggest that you invest in giving this one a try.
