OLEHENRIKSEN Transform Plus Glow Cycle Retin-ALT Power Serum
I am so excited to bring you this review especially because OLEHENRIKSEN Glow Cycle power serum is launching today at Sephora! Those of you who are already following and using OLEHENRIKSEN products, I want you all to know that this new serum will blow your mind. However, if you have not used their products before but looking for something that feels like anti-aging skin luxury, then you might want to start with this one and trust me you will love it!
The product has a retail price of $70 at Sephora Canada for a 50ml bottle. The product come in a white, heavy pump tube which can be locked easily by turning the pump head. The lavender colored serum inside is quite light and creamy. OLEHENRIKSON specifies that this serum can be used on most skin type. I have combination skin and it has suited me quite well!
Retinol AKA Vitamin A is well known for anti-aging in the skin care world. Retinol attaches to almost any skin cell making it younger and healthier thus reducing existing lines and wrinkles. It also fights acne, unclogs pores, strengthens aging skin, and repair sun-damaged skin. However, this brand decided to exclude Retinol from its formula and use bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative. Why? Many Retinol users have experienced side effects like redness, dryness, and sensitivity of skin and therefore could not use anti-aging skin care products. This plant-based alternative is from India and is used in Ayurvedic medicine and is well-known to keep skin tight and clear.
The lavender/purple liquid is so pretty and lightweight that at first I just did not feel like using it. I use one pump of the serum to massage all over my face. The serum melts into the skin and absorbs quickly making my skin feel soft and plump. I also love the sweet scent of this liquid gold because it is mild and lingers around for a while.
I could see a visible difference just after one night because my skin was glowing and felt really soft. I really love the feel of my skin right now. I am so impressed with the Serum that I have already ordered the Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Crème. I am definitely going to incorporate this line in my daily routine.
Reminder: This serum contains alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. Therefore, use sunscreen and limit sun exposure during use.
