Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collagen Booster has been on my list for the longest time. Truth be told, I actually have a small notebook with a list of products that I want to get my hands on and this collagen booster is one of them.
When Sephora Singapore has a 20% storewide discount, I took the chance to snag the 30ml size for $68 instead of $85 and I learnt it later that Sephora will no longer be stocking Ole Henriksen products. Thankfully, I manage to get them before its gone!
The Truth Serum Collagen Booster is housed in glass bottle with a dispenser that squirts out the liquid gel-like texture easily. I usually use about 1 to 2 pumps and smoothens it all over the face.
Formulated without parabens, sulfates and phthalates, Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collagen Booster has a light citrus scent to it which smells pretty yummy with its subtle orange scent and is uplifting to the moods. The texture is non-greasy but slightly sticky hence I prefer to use it in the night, just before I hit the bedsheets. I don't apply any moisturizer thereafter. Just the good old serum. It takes awhile for the serum to get absorbed into my skin.
Even though the formula is not particularly moisturizing, my skin did not experience flakiness during the initial time I am using the serum. After 2 weeks of using it, I can tell that my skin has a more even tone, appears brighter, feels smoother and has a subtle glow.
Note that in the initial stages, the Vitamin C stings on the drier or flaky areas on my skin but I hardly experience that now, though I tend to use it only on well-moisturized skin nowadays.
However, after 3 months of usage, I feel that it starts to make my skin feel dry and I try to use it on optimal skin condition days.
In this product, it contains 2 types of Vitamin C - Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and Calcium Ascorbate. It also contains Vitamin E which is known to increase the efficacy of Vitamin C. However, it is strange that the product is stored in a clear glass bottle, and not opaque or dark coloured bottles. It would be good sense to store Vitamin C products in dark glass bottles to protect against oxidation from sunlight.
That said, I have been using it for 3 months and I have not experience any change in colour in the contents.
