Ole Henriksen Review Summary |
|
Ole Henriksen is a Danish spa owner whose interest in skincare first began on a trip to Indonesia, during which his skin became inflamed with cystic acne. As luck would have it, he met an aesthetician in Jakarta whom he credits with healing his condition with a variety of botanical extracts. This experience inspired Henrikson to study cosmetic chemistry, and eventually create his own line.
Like the treatments he received in Indonesia, all of Henrikson’s products are based on the healing powers of plant extracts. Although the brand’s website claims that this line is a favorite among Hollywood A-listers, consumers would be wise to investigate its formulas before making a significant investment.

| Products In Focus |

Ole Henriksen’s Truth Serum Collagen Booster is one of the products in “Three Little Wonders” collection, a selection of featured anti-aging products. As its name suggests, Truth Serum is designed to smooth and firm the skin by boosting collagen. Although it does contain a number of highly-prized antioxidants, unfortunately this formula does not actually include a modern collagen-boosting ingredient.
Vitamins C and E are featured in many anti-aging treatments because of their ability to protect the skin from free radicals, which can accelerate collagen loss and cause wrinkles to form. However, those with wrinkles already present may require a more proactive treatment to not only protect existing collagen, but also to help stimulate increased synthesis. Fortunately, scientists have developed an ingredient to assist in just this very function. The peptide complex Matrixyl has been shown to restore skin firmness and smooth wrinkles by boosting collagen levels.

| Website |
|
Ole Henriksen’s website is colorful, well organized and easy to use. Each product listing includes a detailed description, as well as a list of main active ingredients along with their benefits. The site also includes tips for dealing with specific skin conditions, from acne to broken capillaries to hyper-pigmentation.
Although Ole Henriksen Producs are available through the website, many consumers find it beneficial to try a product first before committing. However, this brand does not offer a free trial sample, so consumers who are interested in trying Ole Henriksen treatments must take a slight gamble.
