A Review-Current Skincare ft. The ORDINARY🍊

Start every morning with this routine and some hot lemon water. 🍋 Quick disclaimer I’m a HUGE Ole Henriksen fan 💫 I use Ole Henriksen truth juice daily cleanser to cleanse my face everyday, on days that I feel a little more oily or just want a good scrub on my face I’ll use Ole Henriksen pore-balance facial sauna scrub. It feels sooo amazing, it’s hot when your scrubbing it into your skin and it’s cool as soon as you wash it off 🥵🥶OLE HENRIKSEN - Pore-Balance Facial Sauna Scrub OLE HENRIKSEN - Truth Juice Daily Cleanser Next I like to use both a toner and an essence. I use Ole Henriksen balancing force oil control toner. After cleansing I use this with a cotton pad going all over my face and neck.OLE HENRIKSEN - Balancing Force Oil Control Toner Next, I use FRESH black tea kombucha essence. I just put a couple drops into my hands and pat it all over my face and neck.fresh - Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence Nyc Limited Edition Next, I use Ole Henriksen truth serum (Ive been using this for years and it’s amazing I’ll probably use it for many many more) Again just putting it into my hand and putting it all over my face and neck. OLE HENRIKSEN - Truth Serum I then use The Ordinary Hyaluronic acid 2% + B5 before I use my moisturize.The Ordinary - Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 I use Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide creme all over my face and next. DRUNK ELEPHANT - Protini Polypeptide Cream Followed by my eye creams I use a very small amount of The Ordinary Caffeine solution 5% + EGCG The Ordinary - Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG Then I use a pea sized amount of the banana bright eye creme by Ole Henriksen to follow. OLE HENRIKSEN - Banana Bright Eye Crème After all that I top with Joise Maran argon daily SPF 47 JOSIE MARAN - Replacement Pump for Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 47 & Argan Oil Hair Serum (not in the photo because I broke the bottle 😫 ) I wanna love this product but it’s super suppppppper heavy/creamy for my skin.. so if your a little more oily just watch out for this! I am looking for something a little more light weight so if you have recommendations, let a girl know 🙋🏽‍♀️ Thanks 💫💞

In the past couple of weeks, I wasn’t seeing much of a progress in how my skin was going. Yes, my skin was cleaner but I still felt like I was mostly improvising the order of the products. That’s when I decided to research how to properly apply skincare products. From my extensive research, I discovered the right order for AM and PM skincare routines. AM: 💫 Cleanser I start my day with the OLE HENRIKSEN - Find Your Balance Oil Control Cleanser 💫💫 Toner I then go in with my OLE HENRIKSEN - Balancing Force Oil Control Toner I simply put some on a cotton pad and get rid of the remaining dirt and rebalance my pH. 2.5: Jade roller massage This is a step I do to help with the inflammation from remaining/new cystic acne that works amazingly. The cooling effect of the SMARTR SKIN - Jade Roller for Face with Gua Sha facial tool does wonders. 💫💫💫 Serums The serum I use in the morning is the OLE HENRIKSEN - Truth Serum It smells great and helps brighten my skin. 💫💫💫💫 Eye cream For this step, I use the OLE HENRIKSEN - Banana Bright Eye Crème It helps brighten under my sleep deprived eyes and has a light shimmer to it. 💫💫💫💫💫 Moisturizer I used to use the OLE HENRIKSEN - C-Rush Brightening Double Crème which I previously gave a 5 star review to. In the long run, I saw that my skin was getting oiler when I used this moisturizer. The one I am currently using is the OLE HENRIKSEN - Sheer Transformation Perfecting Moisturizer which is light and gel like and very refreshing. 💫💫💫💫💫💫 Face oil I’ve recently received a sample of BIOSSANCE - Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil and this face oil is the most exquisite and light face oil I’ve ever tried. Definitely purchasing the full size bottle. 💫💫💫💫💫💫💫 Sunscreen My sunscreen is the VICHY - Idéal Soleil Ultra-Light Face Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 which I apply consistently on my face throughout the day whether I go outside or not. PM: 💫 Cleanser I use the same cleanser as the AM. It helps take out all the dirt accumulated during the day. 💫💫 Toner Same here! I use the same toner as the AM and my face feels refreshed before going to bed. 💫💫💫 Serums Here, I go with the OLE HENRIKSEN - Invigorating Night Transformation Gel When I wake up, my face feels unbelievable. The chemical exfoliator does one hell of a trick. 💫💫💫💫 Eye cream I purchased this Kiehl's - Creamy Eye Treatment With Avocado a while back but couldn’t wear it during the day due to its thickness. I now wear it at night and it stays on all night long. 💫💫💫💫💫 Moisturizer I finish up with my moisturizer OLE HENRIKSEN - Sheer Transformation Perfecting Moisturizer This might not work for everyone but, I’m definitely seeing changes!

I’ve been using the OLE HENRIKSEN - Let's Get Luminous Brightening Essentials Set for nearly two months & with 2/3 products now empty I am ready to review! Firstly, the set is great value. For $55AUD (from Sephora) you get 3 good sized products. The moisturiser is a full size jar and the truth serum lasted me 2 months using 3 pumps of it every day! & I’ve barely broken the surface of the banana eye cream (although we’ll get into why that is 🥴). I read glowing reviews of all the products both on Cherie & on the Sephora site so I was so excited to get going with them and I have to say, I am disappointed. I’ve kept all 3 of these products as day time use only and used just these +sunscreen for my morning skincare routine in the week (if I’m getting up at 6am, 4 steps is more than enough 💀) & would only add toner & hyaluronic acid on the weekend. OLE HENRIKSEN - Truth Serum is a really nice gel like texture that absorbs super fast & is orange scented. It claims to smooth, soften & improve radiance in your skin in 2 months & at 1st I would have agreed, but every time that time of month rolled in, my hormonal acne was able to steam roll over any effects & if anything, my spots have been more consistent and hung around longer. I think there are suuurely many more vitamin C serums that are more effective and cheaper- this shit is $70AUD for 30ml! But if you want to give it a try, I recommend this large sample size. The OLE HENRIKSEN - C-Rush Vitamin C Gel Moisturizer I had a much better time with. This is a lightweight, peach coloured gel that absorbs quickly & is genuinely refreshing to put on. It claims to give an instant glow, & although my skin did look a little nicer and felt plumper, I’d say the claim that it fights dullness throughout the day is false. After a few hours, my skin would feel dry & I’d get some pilling on my neck, but because of the refreshing feel, I didn’t mind too much reapplying. However if you wear make up over this (which it claims to improve) that’s obviously not an option. Finally the OLE HENRIKSEN - Banana Bright Eye Crème claims to fight fine lines, reduce dark circles and firm and hydrate my eyes. I’m not a big believer in eye creams being much more than overpriced moisturiser (unless they contain retinol) but what intrigued me was the banana powder. I was viewing this more as makeup primer than skincare, just wanting a brightening effect for the day & it STILL managed to let me down. Not only did I not see any of those claims met but the thick, almost gritty consistency just wrecked my concealer when I did try it under makeup. It would streak it (even when I patted it/used a beauty blender) and moved it around my skin. As a basic eye hydrator it’s fine, but tbh I’m glad I got a sample size. I Included before & after application photos so you can judge the instant effects for yourself! Let me know your thoughts 🧡
