Just curious. The "3 Little Wonders" sound great in theory, but was curious if anyone here has used these products with success or not? Any opinions? Thanks in advance!

I've used the ati-aging cream (glycolic acid) and the pore purifying face mask. It was ok but IMO overpriced. I use Dr. H clay mask for purifying now.

I like the results of the pore refining mask (it has a another word in the title) which is kaolin based. My one consideration with it was that it's very heavily scented--for me.

I got the kit/package for oily skin a while ago & I thought it was ok...but I honestly thought it would be a lot better seing as so many celebs with gorgeous skin claim to use his products! But overall I would have to say I prefer brands like Dr H, Decleor & Jurlique etc...which I find a lot less irritating on my skin.

Thanks everyone. I would love it if these 3 products could be my holy grail! I will try to get samples first, seeing as most seem to say it is just "ok"!

My husband and I both like the 3 Little Wonders a lot, especially the toner and Sheer Transformation. The toner smells SO divine, just like cucumber. Sheer Transforamtion has a really nice silky texture and not greasy at all.

I looked at them, they look pure - nice ingredients - but I just couldnt buy them on principle because they look so desperately over priced. I really see that line is going for cult status, through charging mega bucks.

It puts me right off.

I went to TJ Maxx a couple of weeks ago and saw several Ole Henrickson products for about 50% off.

I got Ole Henriksen samples with my last order and didn't really care for this brand. The scent of the moisturizers reminded me of sunscreen and I didn't like how it felt when I put it on.

I'v tested many of Ole Henriksen products. The best for my oily skin was "Ole Henriksen Vitamin Plus Balancing Creme". My skin looked fresher and lighter. And the con-tense smelled and felt comfortable.
But you cant use it "forever", but a few months could do good for your skin.

"Sheer Transformation Creme" -I so no effect
"Re-Start Anti-Aging Serum" - I so no effect, dull smell.
"Aloe Vera Deep Cleanser" - Quite good cleanser!
"Grease Relief Face Tonic" - Feels good and clean.
"Invigorating Night Gel" - Interesting feels like it works. Not bad.

The only product I have used in this line is Ole Henriksen Express The Truth Creme.

I am very impressed with the ingredients, consistency and fragrance of this moisturizer. It is very light but hydrating. I would only recommend it for very dry skin. Applied at night my skin was very smooth in the morning. Dry, dehydrated lines seemed much improved. The fragrance is hard to explain but light. Strong, floral type fragrance gives me headaches. I found the smell of this cream pleasant and fresh. Lovely product for dry skin. My skin only requires a product like Express The Truth in winter months.


Description:
This Ultra Hydrating rich texture Crème is packed with natures most powerful antioxidants like Ester C and African Red Tea which help to calm and sooth skin as well as fight off environmental aggressors and free radical damage. Dry skin will be hydrated, lifted and protected utilizing a synergy of ingredients like all natural Macadamia nut oil, a deeply nourishing extract that works to repair skin during the night and Polylysine a unique all natural peptide that greatly improves skins elasticity and **muscle tone which inhibit deep wrinkles from forming.

** IMO a moisturizer can't improve muscle tone**

Ingredients:
African Red Tea, Ester C, Macadamia Nut Oil, Polylysine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Zinc, Copper and Manganese Gluconate

I'm the same way about price - this stuff doesn't look remarkable enough to get hooked to. I got several samples with an EDS order and I doubt I'll ever use them - anyone who wants 'em is welcome, just PM me.

I tried the 3 miracles kit as well and was not terribly impressed.

It's ok for me about 3 little wonder but I think I can buy other brand that cheaper and more effective.

I was really excited to try out Ole Henriksen's 3 little wonders but after a week my skin felt and looked rough. I stopped using them immediately and my skin is going back to normal again.
The invigorating night gel in combinatin with the sheer transformation creme at first made my skin feel so smooth and soft but then after a few days I think it was just too much for me.
I didn't really like the truth serum, although the texture was lovely and sinks right in it looked like it made my pores a bit larger and it made my skin flaky.
Maybe I am supposed to stick it out and wait for my brilliant skin to emerge but I'm not game enough - the rough look to my skin scared me!

I agree with the consensus here--you can get products with similar ingredients for a lot less. That said, I'm happy to use my samples when traveling...

I have never used any of his products but I went on to his website to check out the story behind the product line and wasn't very impressed. It seems that the man behind the company does not have any experience in the skin care market or cosmetics. I know this line is very successful but it seems to be a line that was started not out of knowledge, but out of marketing.

I got a sample of the pure perfection to use at night for the eye area. Its OK, a little thick but hasn't done anything spectacular yet. It was a 3ml sample so quite generous. I realise that nothing really gets results overnight - especially with the eye area. I'll keep using it anyway until I can find something else to try.

I've tried the Truth Serum which is nothing special. The Apricot Cleansing Cream is fairly nice. The Chamomile Cream, which is a custom blend only available at the spa, is the one thing that I like. It has a fresh scent and is a nice light moisturizer for normal skin like mine.

I'm using the Firm Action Pore Refining Mask and I enjoy the scent of it. The texture is nice and it works ok. Not sure whether I'll repurchase though Question

i think i would like ole henriksen products, when i was in my 20s..
- nice ingredients
- smells (mostly) good
- nice packaging and marketing ("natural"...)
- price tag is "ok", whenever - imo - clearly overpriced...

i tried
- cleanser for combo skin
- matching toner
- vitamin c serum and the
- pore refining mask.
there was no improvement on my wrinkled aged skin...

the shower gel smells nice, but the body lotion i dont really like.

for me no reason to repurchase any of those items ..

I was less than impressed with the vitamin C serum and Sheer Transformation Creme. Just the fact that the C serum comes in a transparent bottle should be a reason good enough to stay away from it.

Ole Henriksen products are marketed as "natural products", which I believe is a big exaggeration.
