Nay or Yay?
22 September 2026
Nay
It's got the wrong undertone for melanin-rich skin and it doesn't actually treat our dark circles. The price is £36 at Sephora. This is a formula I don't like for skin of color because it can lead to contact dermatitis and more dark circles. It's in jar packaging and there's nothing to treat your actual dark circles.

Yay
The Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Vitamin C Eye Cream is my top eye cream recommendation in this sale. The soft yellow tint gives the under eye area a slight brightening effect, not to the level of a concealer, but a nice soft color correction, and it's very moisturizing.

Dr. Vanita Rattan calls Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Vitamin C Eye Cream nay. AliceintheRabbitHole calls it yay. Two experts, one product, takes about 4 weeks apart, and opposite conclusions. Their own words are above; we are not going to tell you which of them is right.

Why we only pair takes from the same month

A formula gets reworked, a price moves, and a product people loved in one year is not the product they are handed in the next. Two takes far apart in time can look like a disagreement when they are really a description of a product that changed. So a face-off only pairs experts whose videos went up within a month of each other, and neither take here is sponsored.
