Not for sensitive skin

This unfortunately was too much for my face to handle and broke my face out with tiny bumps everywhere. I love Ole Henrikesen so I was disappointed....

Quick Take: good value, travel-friendly
LOVE LOVE LOVE! Ole has me wrapped around by the finger. Started on the kit, moved on to the full sized products and 4 months later, a very believable and realistic transformation on my facial lines and overall appearance. I looked long and hard (and spent plenty of money) on products that did not produce. THIS DOES......enough said!

Amazing natural products
-05.12.13
Within the first few days of using this my skin looked clearer, brighter, more even toned, and younger. I am 24 but I think this is great for everyone.

3 *** for a very hydrating moisturizer
a little goes such a looooong way!!!
verdict: OVER hydrated my skin to where I look so oily through day, a look I am not used to, not even on my oiliest days. my skin became so oily and I broke out where I never did (along my cheekbone area and to the side of my chin, jawbone & between my brows)
2 ** for the eye cream
.. it's a little thick like spf thick
verdict: personally I did not like it
3** for the vitamin C
verdict: I didn't see any difference or feel any difference I wasn't sure what I was supposed to see.
++++ I went in looking for hydration because my skin did a 180 flip and was suddenly very very dry and I developed lots of skin problems I never experienced before... this was highly recommended by the sales girl there. I ended up returning it after a months use/try.

Great, but don't buy it in the store!
-05.07.13
I love these products. However, I suspect that the ones you buy in the store have been sitting around for far too long. My first experience with these was pretty gross. The serum was fine, but the moisturizer smelled AWFUL and the eye cream was 100% congealed. Since I hadn't used them before (only the serum), I assumed that was how they were supposed to be and I didn't return them. It was only when I ordered a new kit online (cheaper than just buying the serum) that I saw what had happened. The new kit was wonderful. Moisturizer smelled like orange and the eye cream was perfectly creamy. So it is great, just order it online so that you get a "fresh" kit.

Love this product ~ with two reservations
-05.06.13
Quick Take: highly effective for skin
My facial skin has been extremely sensitive, possibly the result of thyroid surgery last year: breakouts, rough dry patches, dull skin, wrinkles, allergic reactions to Vitamin E ~ my face was a mess! This Ole Henrickson trio completely reversed the damage. My skin is much brighter, smoother, & soothed. The breakouts gone & wrinkles visibly diminished. It literally DOES "brighten, firm & hydrate" Just two issues -
* the eye cream consistency is very thick, requiring more manipulation than I like when distributing product around sensitive eye area.
* the truth creme is has a strong, unpleasant scent - which was surprising, given that every other OH product I've used has a pleasant or neutral scent.

Two out of three isn't enough
-05.05.13
I love the serum and eye cream, but the advanced hydration cream was no good. It was smelly and greasy. Also, I had to return the whole set and start over rather than swap the smelly cream out for a different OH product of equal value.

Worth EVERY Penny!!
-04.30.13
One of the sales clerks recommended this product to me after I told her how tired I have been looking even though I have been sleeping well. This serum made me look as though I have been well rested from a vacation! My skin looked radiant, smooth, and my complexion looked even as well. I'm 33 years old but my skin looks like as though I'm in my 20s! I've always been a fan of Ole Henriksen products and this one is by my favorite

very moisturizing & brightening
-04.29.13
Quick Take: good value
The products are very moisturizing & brightened up my complexion. I have very dry skin. The eye cream is a little thick. Hard to spread on delicate eye area. Don't know if I got a bad batch. But I have to rub it between my fingers to soften it up before putting it on.

like but not love
-04.25.13
Quick Take: travel-friendly, good value
I really like the scent of all of the products, but both the eye cream and serum need to be repackaged so that they dispense the product better. I probably won't buy this again because of that. My skin does feel soft after using it and I like that the eye cream has an spf but wish the face cream did too.

Quick Take: good value
I LOVE this line. I went to Sephora and was given a sample of the serum and loved the smell, feel, and affect! So, I bought a vitamin C kit, it was a GREAT investment. My face LOVES the trio and I just purchased my second kit, looking forward to an effortless benift used daily.

Obsessed
-04.22.13
Quick Take: travel-friendly, good value
Obsessed with these products. I was so happy to get the truth serum as a sample and loved it, then got this kit, and was thrilled with each of the three products. The truth serum immediately (I'd say within two or three uses) brightens and refines skin texture and minimizes discolorations; the eye cream leaves perfect under eye area completely free of crows feet or delicate wrinkles; and the night cream feels wonderful, non greasy, and smells great. All three have a fantastic scent, feel luxurious, and have great results. I think the kit is a great value, too, a good balanced amount of each for less than any of the individual products would have cost.

The best!
-04.21.13
Quick Take: good value, travel-friendly
I've tried Lancome, coffee berry, and many other expensive products on my face and none of them really made my skin look plump and hydrated. They may have smoothed or soften my skin a little but it didn't appear hydrated. This line of products worked for me and it was noticeable to me in a week. I also started itching on the dry zone (cheek) with Lancome, then when using this I didn't feel it was too strong that I couldn't use it.

Quick Take: travel-friendly, good value, hydrating
Love, love, love this serum! It absorbs quickly and smells great because of the Vitamin C. It is a must have in my skincare routine. It makes my skin feel soft and supple
I love this eye cream because it has an SPF in it so it's good for that added protection during the day. It is rather thick and a little will go a long way. I do have some slight crows feet and I haven't seen them minimized in any way, hence the 4 stores. I am a dedicated Ole Henriksen fan though.
I use the truth creme advanced hydration at night and it has helped with the dry skin around the perimeter of my face.

So much good but some bad too
-04.17.13
Quick Take: travel-friendly, good value
I want to preface this review by saying: I LOVE OLE HENRIKSEN PRODUCTS. I basically use them religiously - aloe cleansing wash, sheer transformation creme, and the truth serum. So I was really excited to see this great deal and thought it would be a good way to get my serum and also try out a new face creme.
I will start with the good: The size of the products. I bought it in store, but if I had been browsing online, I might have been worried that these were mini products considering the awesome price for the trio. But they are definitely very good sized, especially the creme.
More good: the serum! This stuff literally changed my face. I have combination skin and started using it about 2 years ago. Whenever I think I might stop and switch up my routine, I instantly regret it and remember why this stuff is the best. It cleared up my skin and keeps it balanced.
Meh: the eye creme. Nothing special but it is very luxurious and a tiny bit goes a long way.
The bad: the truth creme. It's thin, a little gloppy, and makes my skin feel a little tight, but I can get over that. The thing I cannot get over is the HORRIBLE smell. It smells like a gym to be completely honest, which isn't something I want radiating off my face when I'm talking to people, leaning in for a kiss, or just smelling my nose all day.
So, while I will continue to buy lots of other Ole products, the Truth Creme Advanced Hydration will not be one of them.

feeling all mixed up
-04.15.13
Quick Take: good value, a good size and $ to try before committing
Overall, I dont L-O-V-E the line but I do think it my skin has brightened a little as it said it would.
1. the eye cream: the bottle is so small my tiny pinkie finger barely gets enough cream for application. also, the cream is very dense, balm-like, so it needs to be rubbed on, which I don't like to do.
2. serum: smells nice and fresh but I hate the fact that it is kind of sticky. and I can't tell whether its been absorbed into my skin or just evaporated into thin air.
3. face cream: my fave out of the trio. a little goes a long way; smells fresh and yummy; very moisturizing.

Quick Take: average
After reading many positive reviews about this product I was excited to try Ole Henriksen but so far have not been impressed. I previously used Kinerase which I loved but converted to Ole as Sephora no longer stock Kinerase. I have seen no noticeable improvements using the day time skin care despite using this product for 2 - 3 weeks. The 3 stars I have added for the night cream which I feel does soften my frown lines each morning.
