Prior to receiving a little care package from Adore Beauty containing products by Ole Henriksen I have to admit I knew next to nothing about the brand. Having said that, I can honestly say that I am now totally obsessed with this brand, and have a to-buy list of products as long as my arm. The Invigorating Night Gel has well and truly cemented it’s place on my Holy Grail beauty product MUST HAVE list. Yep, caps lock. It’s that good!
What is great about this product…
I have always been rather cynical about night serums. I often find that at night they can feel really nice and seem to work well but in the morning (even after continual usage) I’m not really sure if they are making any sort of difference with my skin. The Invigorating Night Gel gave me results within the first week. Now, I’m not claiming that this is a miracle product because obviously there are a lot of factors that are to be taken into account when it comes to the state of your skin – but I have used this serum for quite a while now, in good skin times and bad, and it’s always shown me great results. I have large pores and am prone to breakouts along my jawline, and this serum has helped me with both of these problems. I’ve also found that my skintone seems to be a lot more even and my redness has diminished quite a bit when I use the gel for a few nights in a row. I have slightly sensitive skin, and although the gel contains fruit acids, my skin has never reacted to it in a negative way. I really love the packaging of the product too, and how brightly coloured the whole Ole Henriksen range seems to be. I will definitely repurchase this product when I run out!
What is not so great about this product…
I do have to admit, the smell is not all that appealing to me. It’s a citrusy sort of smell, but is not very nice. The smell does not linger on my skin after use though, which is always a good thing. The only other thing I can see being an issue for some people is the price. The Invigorating Night Gel retails for $99.50 AUD for 50ml of product. I know that seems like a lot, but on the plus side – a little of this product goes a long way, so you won’t be using it up very fast & should get your money’s worth.
The Ole Henriksen Invigorating Night Gel and other items from the range are available for purchase online at Adore Beauty. (note: My birthday is in November. Please feel free to buy me any of the 100 things I have on my wish list from this range. Thanks.)
