This New Ole Henriksen Duo Is Dewy Summer Skin, Bottled.
Francesca is the Beauty Editor at Adore Beauty. With a background in glossy mags and bylines in publications like Marie Claire, ELLE and BODY+SOUL, Francesca has turned her love of beauty into a career. Whether she's decoding buzzy ingredients or road testing lip glosses (so. many. glosses.), her approach to beauty is equal parts glamour and highly-considered.
What a Peach Bellini does for the soul; this Peach-spiked duo does for skin. Refreshing, hydrating and gives you that glow-ridden confidence to take over the world.
Now, if you know me, you know I'm somewhat of a Ole Henriksen superfan. I've been singing the Scandi brand's praises for years and have subsequently dedicated the bottom (easy access) quarter of my skin cupboard to them.
While I'm here, I'd love to put you onto their Balance + Detox Drops 2% Salicylic Acid Toner - I reviewed it for an article last year and accredit it for completely transforming my pores.
So, it's no surprise this new duo also made it's way into my skin rotation.
I like to think of this launch as summer personified. Brimming with Niacinamide, the products work in tandem to brighten, plump and smooth.
Read on for your juiciest, glossiest summer skin yet.
Ole Henriksen Peach Glow Serum
Fast Facts:
- Visibly brightens dull, uneven skin
- Minimises the look of pores for a smoother appearance
- Delivers long-lasting, lightweight hydration
- Helps improve elasticity and skin texture
- Supports a radiant, glass-skin glow
Brightening, pore-refining and peaches, oh-my.
Powered by a potent blend of Niacinamide and Vitamin C (summer complexion heroes), the serum works overtime to boost radiance, combat dullness and blur the appearance of pores for a silkier, more even tone.
In terms of application - the texture was a dream. It's a sheer-to-medium weight gel that feels incredibly light and fresh on. Unlike some brightening serums (particularly Vit C) that can be finicky (and pill), this one sat beautifully under makeup. It was lightly scented - nothing too intense.
And the pearlescent finish.... are you kidding?! It left a gleaming, radiant cast similar to one cult luminous primer (wink, wink). Seriously glow-getting.
Great to know this isn't just an instant-fix either. The serum is infused with Peach Extract, Hyaluronic Acid and Polyglutamic Acid to keep things plump and bouncy. With continued use, you should notice clearer skin, more even tone and lines softened.
Ole Henriksen Peach Glow Mist
Fast Facts:
- Instantly brightens and refreshes dull skin
- Delivers lightweight, plumping hydration
- Boosts glow both instantly and over time
- Helps protect skin with antioxidant support
- Ultra-fine mist that won’t disturb makeup
To my knowledge (and the best I could find in a 2 minute google), this is the brand's first skincare mist since their OG Cucumber Balancing Mist was discontinued a decade ago (IYKYK).
And honestly, I'm urging Mr Henriksen to continue misting. I thoroughly enjoyed this formula.
It's one of the finer mists I've tested - I'm talking barely detectable fine) which meant it layered exceptionally well. As someone who likes liberal application - you can't overdo it here.
I've been keeping this close to my WFH station for misting throughout the day - no dry skin on my watch! I also apply it directly after my Peach Glow Serum in the morning.
In general (and possibly to my detriment), I tend to think of mists as less like serious skincare
and more like a top-up. But this stacked Ingredient list proves otherwise; Peach Ferment & Peach Juice (to hydrate and smooth), Vitamin C (to brighten and improve tone) and Cloudberry Water (a Scandinavian superfruit that helps protect and revitalise skin).
Now the fragrance. It is sweet (without being sickly) and serves all that peachy goodness you could dream of.
I (someone who tends to shutter at the whiff of fragranced skincare at the best of time) found it to be a teensy overpowering. But I could envision most - especially teens - frothing over it.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Summer skin here I come!
