Whats up Nearly Perfect Peeps?! As the summer approaches, your glow up must be past exuberant. It can be tough to get that perfect look without looking greasy and so makeup may not be the solution as July and June hit. In my opinion, in order to get that perfect glow your natural skin care routine has to be perfected!
Thanks to Influenster, I was given a complimentary Ole Henriksen’s balanced collection skin care oil control line to review. They went all out with this, because this set not only promotes your glow BUT also controls oil. How can you not have this product line in your life!? If you know me, then you know I struggle with oily skin, and my skin is always ready to fry something. Since I’ve found this line, my skin looks refreshed and the sun naturally bounces off of my face!
Let’s take a look at what Ole Henriksen’s set provides:
Find Your Balance- Oil Control Cleanser
Balancing Force- Oil Control Toner
Counter Balance- Oil Control Hydrator
So let us take a gander at what these bad boys are supposed to do.
1. Find Your Balance- Oil Control Cleanser
Claims:
Find Your Balance Oil Control Cleanser reduces excess oil and deeply cleanses pores. Formulated with Green Fusion Complex™, a proprietary blend of potent active botanicals—green tea, eucalyptus, algae (kelp) and Irish moss extracts—with natural antiseptic properties, and neem seed oil, its deep cleansing action helps unclog and purify pores without stripping skin, while the invigorating eucalyptus-peppermint scent awakens the senses. Powerful glycolic and lactic acids help loosen and lift dead skin cells that can cause pore-clogging build-up. Instantly, the complexion is refreshed and balanced with a healthy-looking Ole Glow™!
Deeply cleanses
Reduces oil
Purifies pores
Noncomedogenic
What I think:I can’t stress this enough but my skin is oily! This cleanser for me serves as both a cleanser and makeup remover. It leaves your pores tighten and feels minty fresh. It has a strong scent, close to eucalyptus but it smells refreshing if you like the eucalyptus minty scent. I use this in the morning and the night with my Vanity Planet spin brush, and it really gets into my pores. I did find that upon rinsing my skin, it can feel too tight at times and a little drying but I get that mostly in the morning if I scrub too hard.
2. Balancing Force-Oil Control Toner
Claims:
Controls oil, helps minimize the appearance of pores and freshens skin
This concentrated facial astringent effectively removes excess oil and refines pores—without stripping skin. It’s formulated with Green Fusion Complex™, a proprietary blend of potent active botanicals—green tea, eucalyptus, algae (kelp) and Irish moss extracts—with natural antiseptic properties. With a powerful blend of both BHA and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs)—salicylic, glycolic and lactic acids—and neem seed oil, its gentle clarifying action helps unclog, purify and minimize the appearance of pores. This refreshing toner features an energizing eucalyptus-peppermint scent. Instantly, the complexion is fresh and invigorated with a matte, healthy-looking Ole Glow™.
Controls oil
Helps minimize the appearance of pores
Freshens skin
Noncomedogenic What I think: This toner is the holy grails of holy grails! If you don’t buy anything else from this set, you have to buy this! Using this everyday has really helped my pores close and I think it’s the star player for oil control. I think this toner has to be on everyone’s bathroom counter! The fact that this contains salicylic acid makes this even better because it helps to smooth my acne. Gets no better than this!
3. Counter Balance- Oil control Hydrator
Claims:
Hydrates, controls oil, mattifies and reduces the appearance of pores
Finally, oily skin meets its matte. Developed as the product Ole wishes he had during his own struggle with oily skin, this lightweight, mattifying hydrator gives oily and combination skin types the essential moisture they crave. Oily skin needs hydration, too, to look its healthy best.
This innovative moisturizer is powered by Green Fusion Complex™, a proprietary blend of potent active botanicals—green tea, eucalyptus, algae (kelp) and Irish moss extracts—with natural antiseptic properties. Combined with neem seed oil and powerful alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), it helps keep pores clear and skin matte all day long while maintaining optimal hydration and a healthy balance.
This groundbreaking formula also significantly improves the wear of foundation for up to 8 hours, making makeup meltdown a thing of the past. The complexion is soft, smooth and refreshed with a healthy-looking, matte Ole Glow™!
Hydrates
Controls oil
Mattifies
Reduces the appearance of pores
Noncomedogenic
In an independent, lab-verified study, Counter Balance Oil Control Hydrator improved the wear of foundation for 8 hours.
What I think:Ok this is the star of the show when it comes to your glow up shorties! This has to be one of the lightest most moisturizing sets I have ever used when it comes to hydrating your skin. For most it mattifies the skin then the glow comes through, but for me it automatically has my skin glowing! It unfortunately doesn’t help my foundation wear, but that’s my only qualm. If I really needed something to have my foundation last it would be a bomb primer.
I have been using this for about a month and half now and I truly can say this system is a keeper for my glowing days in the summer. It is totally worth the price and with twice a day use it can really last you about three months. You can find these bad boys at Sephora or even the Ole Henriksen’s website. Trust me, it is worth my investment, I even have some of my own family members using it.
What skin care routine do you use for your glow up?
