Ole Henriksen Transform Guide

This is a nightly retexturizing serum built on a 20% acid blend: 10% AHAs and 10% PHAs. Glycolic and lactic acids handle the exfoliation. Gluconolactone, a gentler PHA, adds hydration and reduces irritation. Together, they lift dead skin cells and target uneven texture, dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles.

The formula also includes aloe juice, Nordic birch sap, and cotton water to help replenish the skin while the acids work. The brand's own 8-week clinical study reported a 45% improvement in the look of fine lines and wrinkles. It goes on after cleansing and toning, before moisturizer, and should not be layered with retinol on the same night.

New users should start slowly — once a week is a reasonable starting point, building up to nightly use. Mild tingling is normal. Daily SPF matters here, since AHAs increase sun sensitivity.

This fragrance-free eye cream is built around a triple vitamin C complex, encapsulated with real gold for better delivery. It combines 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, and Ascorbic Acid for stability and antioxidant strength. Hardy orange extract adds brightening, while bioflavonoids from grapefruit and mandarin help neutralize environmental damage.

Banana powder-inspired pigments give it an instant, light-reflecting blur on application. In an 8-week clinical study on 38 people, 92% reported brighter undereyes and 95% saw a visible reduction in crow's feet. It can be worn alone or layered under concealer — and is designed to extend concealer wear rather than interfere with it.

This daily moisturiser is built around eight peptides, three ceramides, eight amino acids, and two forms of hyaluronic acid. The peptide list includes Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, all included to strengthen and condition skin. Niacinamide rounds out the formula, supporting the skin barrier and helping regulate oil production.

The texture is described as balm-to-gel, melting into skin without pilling under makeup. In an 8-week clinical study on 35 people, 100% reported instant and all-day hydration, and 94% felt their skin was plumper after four weeks. It's suitable for all skin types — including sensitive and blemish-prone — and is meant to go on morning and night after serums.

This is a five-minute at-home resurfacing mask combining AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs at a 25% blend. The acids work together to loosen and lift dead skin cells, targeting dullness, discoloration, and uneven texture in a single use. Calming aloe vera, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and Scandinavian rowanberry extract are included to offset the strength of the acid blend.

It's meant to be used two to three times a week as a stand-in for other exfoliants — not as a daily step. For anyone already using a retexturizing serum, this mask works as a faster, more concentrated alternative on the nights a full routine isn't practical.
