Affordable cream with high SPF, but probably not suited for my oily skin
As a #lykoinflutester, I had the opportunity to test this facial sunscreen from #aco for a few weeks. I always use some form of SPF on my face and am therefore naturally curious about such a product. I have quite oily combination skin, which makes me find many sunscreens both heavy and shiny. Unfortunately, this one too, but Iām sure it can suit someone with normal or dry skin! The packaging isnāt really my taste, but at least itās not bright orange like many other SPF products, so that gets a thumbs up from me anyway š¤£š I also appreciate that it feels affordable compared to many other facial sunscreens on the market. The cream itself is easy to apply and probably works well (hard to evaluate since it hasnāt been very sunny here), but I noticed quite quickly that it was a bit too rich for my skin type. During the day, I felt quite shiny, especially in the T-zone, and I got the feeling that my skin couldnāt really ābreatheā as I had hoped. I therefore think this product would suit someone with normal to dry skin much better than me, who easily gets both shiny and breakouts from heavier products. Overall, I think this is a decent and affordable sunscreen with good protection, but unfortunately the finish was a bit too heavy and shiny for my personal taste and skin type.

Good results for little money
As a #lykoinflutester, I have had the opportunity to test this serum from #aco for a few weeks. I have previously used other serums with a similar focus, so it was really fun to compare this one with products I already like! I feel that ACO has succeeded well with a product that feels both well thought out and affordable, which is always appreciated š The packaging feels nice and sleek, and fits well with the rest of the series. The serum itself feels light on the skin and absorbs quickly without becoming sticky or heavy. I have mainly used similar serums to improve the visibility of pores and skin texture, and this one seems to fulfill that function just as well! My pores appear less noticeable than when I donāt use it, and my skin generally feels a bit smoother and clearer. As usual, I have been a bit cautious with usage since I have combination skin that can easily become dry if I overdo active ingredients. Therefore, I havenāt used it every day, but still regularly enough to get a good feel for the product. It has worked well in my routine and I havenāt experienced irritation or imbalance in my skin. The only small reason itās not a full score for me is actually that the serum I usually use also contains zinc, and I kind of imagine I would miss that part š At the same time, I think ACO does a very good job for the price range, and I would definitely consider continuing to use this. Overall, I think itās a very nice and affordable serum that does what it promises. Four stars from me š Especially if you want a product that helps minimize visible pores without feeling too strong or complicated to include in your routine.1 product in post Good results for little money46 views - The post was made 3 weeksRating: 3 out of 5Verifierad testare
Not bad but not for me
As a #lykoinflutester, I had the opportunity to test this face cream from #aco for a few weeks. I have combination acne-prone skin that easily becomes both shiny and dry depending on products and season, so it was very interesting to try a day cream specifically designed for blemished skin. My first impression was very positive! The product comes in a sleek and handy packaging that feels both hygienic and practical. The cream also has a quite pleasant texture at first impression ā it feels moisturizing and comfortable upon application. I also appreciate that it feels affordable and accessible compared to many other products aimed at acne-prone skin. Unfortunately, I quickly noticed that it probably doesnāt suit my skin type optimally. For me, the cream feels a bit too heavy, especially under makeup. I find that my skin gets quite shiny during the day when I use it, and unfortunately, thatās something Iām quite sensitive to since I already tend to get oily in the T-zone. I didnāt get any new breakouts from it, but my skin didnāt feel quite as balanced as with lighter creams I usually use. However, I absolutely think this could work better for someone with slightly drier skin or for those who want a more moisturizing cream without having to spend a lot of money. For me, it was unfortunately a bit too rich in texture to work optimally in my routine. Overall, I think itās a totally okay and affordable product with nice packaging and a pleasant feel upon application, but it doesnāt quite suit my skin type fully.

Affordable toner to alternate with
As a #lykoinflutester, Iāve had the chance to test this toner from #aco for a few weeks. For several years, Iāve been a loyal user of a similar toner from a more expensive brand, so it was really fun to try this one! There seem to be some differences in the ingredient list, but both contain 2% salicylic acid. The product is nicely packaged in a fairly sleek bottle that matches the rest of the line. I donāt have much to say about my visual impression of the product itself; itās a transparent and completely colorless toner. Feels good upon application, seems quite gentle on the skin despite the high salicylic acid content. However, I must admit I havenāt dared to use it daily, Iāve used it 1-2 times per week. This is because I have quite troublesome combination skin that tends to get dry, so Iām a bit scared to experiment in general and donāt really want to deviate from my usual routine. But oh well, itās so fun to be an influencer tester, so I did my best šš¤ Since my starting point is that I already had a similar product in my routine, I didnāt expect to see much result/difference, and I didnāt. But I think thatās a positive!! I interpret it as working just as well as the one I previously used from a more expensive brand, and thatās a great compliment! Overall, I think itās an effective and affordable product. Five stars from me š But I would personally recommend being cautious and introducing it gradually, and only using it daily if your skin really can handle it.1 product in post Affordable toner to alternate with16 views - The post was made 2 months

Does its job!
I have been on a mission as #lykoinflutester to test some products from #kevinmurphy over the course of a few weeks š¤ This hair mask is part of the Hydrate.me series, which consists of moisturizing and color-preserving products. My hair requires quite a bit of moisture, so I was very happy to get to test this product. However, I mostly have natural hair color (Iām in the process of growing it out), so Iām unfortunately not the right person to judge that particular property. My first impression of the hair mask is that it feels luxurious and professional, as always with Kevin Murphy's products. The packaging is sleek and pretty, and the muted purple color looked really nice on the shower shelf š (Those who have read my other reviews know that I think packaging and especially colors are a bit important!) I personally think it smells a bit dull, it doesnāt smell bad at all but almost nothing at all - suitable for those who donāt want any strong scents. I have now used the hair mask three times, and I felt it was moisturized and lovely already after the first use. It feels reasonably shiny and manageable (as promised), but maybe not more than any other comparable hair mask. Whether it preserves color well or poorly, I canāt really judge, but I have no reason to doubt it anyway. My assessment is that it is a high-quality hair mask, and that Kevin Murphy is a safe and reliable brand. My overall rating gives it a 4 out of 5 - I am satisfied with the result but donāt think itās a wow product. It does belong to the slightly higher price range, and if I personally am to think itās worth a few extra bucks, it would need to stand out more from the crowd. I would recommend this hair mask to someone who is primarily looking for gentle products for colored hair, without too much scent.1 product in post Does its job!118 views - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 3 out of 5Verifierad testare
Not as moisturizing as I want
I have been testing some products from #lykoinflutester for a few weeks on behalf of #kevinmurphy š¤ This conditioner is part of the Everlasting.colour series, which consists of moisturizing and color-preserving products. According to the description, they should also counteract damage from hard water, which suits me as I live in the countryside. However, I mostly have natural hair color (Iām in the process of growing it out), so Iām unfortunately not the right person to assess that particular property. My first impression of the conditioner is that it feels luxurious and professional, as always with Kevin Murphy's products. The packaging is sleek and nice, but I think many of the colors on the packaging are a bit tricky to be honest š I wonāt let that affect the rating, but it does affect whether I personally would buy it again or not... and I definitely donāt want anything bright orange in my cozy shower corner (haha). Sorry! Other than that, I have no complaints, the impression of the product itself is positive and I like the scent. Itās mild and natural, smells a bit like a sauna (birch!?), suitable for those who donāt want anything scented. My experience with the use is that it does its job, the hair feels soft and manageable after washing. It feels reasonably moisturized, but maybe neither more nor less than any other conditioner really. Whether it preserves color well or poorly, I canāt really determine, I have a bit of trouble stating how it handles the hard water as well on such a short time. I usually like Kevin Murphy's products overall, and I consider it a safe and reliable brand. However, after a couple of weeks of use, I feel that my hair has become a bit more static, I think my hair might need even more moisture than this, I usually focus on products/lines with a lot of moisture. Since Everlasting.colour is primarily marketed as a color-preserving conditioner, I think itās a bit neglected, but I still think Iāll lower the rating to a 3, since moisturizing is actually the primary function of all conditioners, I think. I would recommend this product line to someone who is primarily looking for gentle but effective products for colored hair, and who wants sulfate-free products with mild scents.1 product in post Not as moisturizing as I want61 views - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 3 out of 5Verifierad testare
Good but not the best
I have been testing some products from #lykoinflutester for a few weeks on assignment as #kevinmurphy š¤ This shampoo is part of the Everlasting.colour series, which consists of moisturizing and color-preserving products. According to the description, it should also counteract damage from hard water, which suits me as I live in the countryside. However, I mostly have natural hair color (Iām in the process of growing it out), so Iām unfortunately not the right person to judge that particular property. My first impression of the shampoo is that it feels luxurious and professional, as always with Kevin Murphy's products. The packaging is sleek and nice, but I think many of the colors on the packaging are a bit tricky if Iām being honest š I wonāt let that affect the rating, but it does affect whether I personally would buy it again or not... and I definitely donāt want anything ill-orange in my cozy shower corner (haha). Sorry! Other than that, I have no remarks, the impression of the product itself is positive and I like the scent. Itās mild and natural, smells a bit like a sauna (birch!?), suitable for those who donāt want anything perfumed. My experience with the use is that it cleans excellently, possibly a bit less lather than I would have liked, but thatās a matter of taste. All of Kevin Murphy's products are sulfate-free (to my knowledge), so itās probably a bit like that, pros and cons simply! Iām satisfied with the result, my hair feels clean and moisturized as promised. Whether it preserves color well or poorly, I canāt really determine, I have a bit of a hard time commenting on how it handles hard water as well in such a short time. My assessment is, in any case, that itās a good shampoo, and that Kevin Murphy is a safe and reliable brand. After a couple of weeks of use, I do feel that my hair has become a bit more static, I think my hair might need even more moisture than this, I usually focus on products/lines with a lot of moisture. Since Everlasting.colour is primarily marketed as a color-preserving shampoo, I think itās a bit neglected, but it is still described as moisturizing, and therefore I think Iāll lower the rating to a 3. I would recommend this shampoo to someone who is primarily looking for a gentle but effective cleansing for colored hair, and who wants sulfate-free products with mild scents.1 product in post Good but not the best50 views - The post was made 3 months
