Key Benefits of OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Face Primer

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Face Primer:
 

🔵🔵 Moisturizer with the Right Occlusivity for Normal to Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Face Primer is highly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 6.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 4.6 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈2.5%), and a high occlusivity of 7.7 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Squalane (est. ≈7.5%) and Dimethicone (est. ≈5.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, may provide a significant level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for normal to dry skin.

The occlusive profile of OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Face Primer suggests a texture that is rich and creamy but not overly thick, offering the potential to absorb into the skin without leaving a greasy afterfeel in most cases.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

🟣 Slight Anti-Wrinkle Efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Face Primer has a slight anti-wrinkle rating of 0.1 out of 10.

It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Ascorbic Acid (est. ≈0.3%),
 or Vitamin C, a popular ingredient, yet with moderate anti-wrinkle efficacy, as confirmed by a single clinical study involving 20 participants (Humbert et al.). This study showed that a cream with a relatively high concentration of 5% ascorbic acid reduced the average wrinkle depth by 7% after 6 months of use, compared to a vehicle (the same formulation without ascorbic acid).
 
Among others, OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Face Primer also contains 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, an ingredient often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards.
 
While this does not categorically rule out the possibility that 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid may reduce wrinkles, its efficacy is not supported by convincing, vehicle-controlled, double-blind clinical studies - at least none that were available to the CreamScan team at the time of publication.
 
Therefore, this ingredient does not contribute to the anti-wrinkle rating.
 
📌 Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, can deliver some additional anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.
 

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

📌 Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.

Things to Be Aware Of: OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Face Primer

 
CreamScan identified a few things to consider before adding OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Face Primer to your skincare routine:
 

⚠️ Needs to Be Paired with Extra Humectants for Optimal Moisturizing Efficacy

An ideal moisturizer for any skin type should balance the right level of occlusivity (depending on skin type) with a significant amount of humectants, while OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Face Primer contains a moderate level of humectants.

People with normal to dry skin would definitely benefit from adding more humectants to their moisturizing routine beyond what this product offers. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.

Pros & Cons of OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Face Primer

 
Here’s an overview of the pros and cons of OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Face Primer to help you decide if it’s the right choice for your skincare routine:
 

🟩 Pros:

Provides the right level of occlusivity to moisturize normal to dry skin
Rich and creamy texture without being overly thick
Provides slight anti-wrinkle efficacy
 

⭕ Cons: 

⚠️ Only if used as a standalone moisturizer - needs to be paired with extra humectants for optimal moisturizing efficacy
   

Summary: OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Face Primer

 
Based on the ingredient list analysis, CreamScan AI suggests that OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Face Primer
, as a moisturizer, provides an adequate level of occlusivity for normal to dry skin, delivered in a rich yet not overly thick formula.
 
OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Face Primer contains ingredients with proven evidence of anti-wrinkle efficacy that may offer a slight anti-wrinkle effect. As a result, you can expect a positive, though relatively minimal, impact on wrinkles.
 
 
That said, there are some things about OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Face Primer worth noting.
 
If you use this product as your only moisturizer in a routine, please note that it contains a limited amount of humectants. Regardless of your skin type, adding extra humectants can enhance optimal moisturizing efficacy. Therefore, it may be worth pairing OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Face Primer with a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.
