    Better than expected

    Received this wonderful product from #mamonde that #lykoinflutester sent to me🥹 Can we just start with HOW CUTE the packaging is of these products????🤩🥹 I have combination skin that now going into fall sometimes goes from overly oily to dry and flaky with washing. I also had a lot of acne in my teens up to 20. Nowadays, I mostly get little breakouts when my skin is unhappy with products. However, I’m not a girl with makeup on, but I do use glow id glow and plump, which sometimes settles quite heavily on the skin. This product doesn’t smell much, so don’t be put off by the name "mint" being included. The consistency is thick but soft, though it doesn’t show well on camera, so I took a picture of the contents before I smeared it all over😂🙈 It’s a small test jar, but I still feel like it did its job and seemed to work without causing breakouts. The cleansing balm quickly and easily removed the residue from my daily products and left my skin clean and nice after the usual cleansing following the use of the cleansing balm. Since the product is supposed to contain AHA, BHA, and PHA, I think you need to test this product over a longer period. However, I don’t have a solid grasp on cleansing balms, so I probably can’t stretch to a full 5 with the price since the product definitely cleans but not much more, so the price brings the rating down a bit. But overall, a product I can happily recommend!

    Satin Finish

    I got this beauty home as part of lykos #influtester, soooooo fun and exciting with new releases🙈🥳 Received this wonderful product sent to me by #lykoinflutester🥹 Can we just start with HOW CUTE the packaging is for these products????🤩🥹 I have combination skin that now heading into fall goes from sometimes overly oily to dry and flaky with washing. I also had a lot of acne in my teenage years up to 20. Nowadays, I mostly get breakouts when my skin is unhappy with products. I didn’t perceive the product to have any special scent, so it’s good for sensitive skin, I can imagine. The consistency is like satin and gives an incredibly nice finish. I tested this in combination with flora glow but stopped using flora glow due to suspicion that it caused breakouts for me. Continued with just this and my other usual skincare products, and the breakouts calmed down and my skin became nice again@ At first, when I tested the product, I was a bit confused about how to apply it since it said it was a liquid mask, so I thought it might at least be a bit more solid in consistency. Now it mostly felt like it was running everywhere, but that probably has more to do with my clumsiness than the product. I followed the instructions and used it in the morning and evening, and unfortunately, it quickly made my skin go haywire, so I had to stop using it. The tricky part about this test is that it’s hard to know which of the 3 products caused the breakout. HOWEVER, I still want to add an important thing, if you have small bumps on e.g. your back, this AMAZING worked. It only took a few days for the bumps to lessen. This gets 4/5 as it’s great, but I don’t notice that it makes more of a difference than any other face cream I have. In the picture where I have a dog paw on my face, you can see how my skin looks after a few days of use and about 8 hours after application

    Bubblegum Scented Exfoliation

    I received this wonderful product sent to me by #lykoinflutester🥹 Can we just start with HOW CUTE the packaging is for these products????🤩🥹 The scent of the contents really matches the packaging, a sweet bubblegum scent that is faint but still smells just right and disappears immediately upon application. I have combination skin that now in the fall goes from sometimes overly oily to dry and flaky when washed. I also had a lot of acne in my teenage years up to 20. Nowadays, I mostly get breakouts when my skin is unhappy with products. In the beginning when I tested the product, I was a bit confused about how to apply it since it said it was a liquid mask, so I thought it might at least be a bit more solid in consistency. Now it mostly felt like it was running everywhere, but that probably has more to do with my clumsiness than the product.

The tricky part about this test is that it's hard to know which of the 3 products caused the breakout. HOWEVER, I still want to add an important thing, if you have small pimples on, for example, your back, this AMAZING worked. It only took a few days for the pimples to become fewer. This gets a 3/5 as I believe it could work for most people who don't have sensitive skin! (Because it couldn't be published until after Lyko's official release, I forgot to take a picture of the packaging in the box since I was away) #mamonde

    High hopes

    So incredibly sad to have to leave a review when you had such high expectations. All the other products I've tried from this brand have been fantastic! But this one didn't meet the mark, the guide for choosing the right color is always hard when you're dark, it often pulls towards the light side or in this case, towards the dark side. I also tried wearing it on my face at home for a few hours but also realized that it caused small pimples, not great. I would say my skin has been pretty calm without acne breakouts for the past year so I was surprised to get pimples from this so easily. I also discovered that it wasn't particularly transferproof which resulted in my partner's clothes getting a dark stain that was hard to wash out. Giving this a 2/5 with a guess that it might suit other skin types better! Thanks to Lyko for this opportunity to test this as part of their test pilot [hashtag] [hashtag]

      Hey Ellen! 🤗 Thank you for sharing your honest experience with us! 💛 We truly understand how frustrating it is when a product doesn't live up to the high expectations – especially when you've had good experiences with the brand before. Skin is so individual, and sometimes products can react differently depending on your skin type. Thank you for mentioning both what worked and what didn't, it's valuable feedback for us and the manufacturer. That the product wasn't completely transferproof and caused small breakouts sounds really uncomfortable, and we regret that it turned out that way. We hope you find products that suit your skin better moving forward, and that we can help you with that! 💫 Your input helps us become even better, thank you so much for that! 🙏

    Clean without drying out

    📌Skin type - combination skin + acne-prone I got this gem from Lyko and have now tested it for a while. But since I was in the hospital for about 3 weeks, the review may not be entirely fair. That said, you still get my opinions! The packaging is sleek and easy to use, nice to have a sturdy lid so it doesn't risk leaking! It withstood some bumps and held up nicely! Mousse is an incredibly pleasant consistency to use on the skin, feels smooth and also lasts a long time. Being in a hospital environment means, whether as a patient or a worker, that you get ridiculously dry skin, so an important part of the routine is to use something that doesn't dry out. This mousse works fantastically, I never felt that tightness you can get after certain washes and I also thought my skin got a nice glow without leaving any greasy film. If you're sensitive to perfume, you might want to be a bit cautious, as this has perfume, but it smells very subtle. Results: I didn't use this every day as I had some days where I could barely open my eyes. Normally, I can tolerate almost all cleansers, but this time I broke out after maybe 4 weeks of use, whether it was due to the product or because I was in the hospital is a bit unclear. I have continued to use this product now that I am home and I still think the breakouts are starting to calm down, so hopefully it was the hospital stay that caused it. It's affordable, smells good, skin gets glowy, and the product is long-lasting🤩 I don't think you can ask for more from a cleanser! However, due to my uncertainty about the breakouts, this product gets 4/5. Thank you and sorry, Lyko! #LYKOINFLUTESTER #ACO

    Glow in a bottle🔥

    I have had the honor of testing ACO's vitamin C serum and must say that it is a good serum for both day and night. Easy to use and dries quickly with a radiant skin as a result. Packaging & Consistency The serum comes in a sleek and practical pump bottle that makes it easy to dose the right amount. However, it can be a downside that it is in glass if you are, for example, traveling or just want to take it with you, as it becomes extra fragile and extra weight. The consistency is light, and the skin really absorbs it right away! I would describe it as slightly thicker than water. Effect & Results After a few weeks of irregular use, I still think that my darker spots have lightened and are less visible, e.g., dark spots from previous acne scars. However, I have basically only used this product when I have been hospitalized and find it difficult to see any very clear results due to my health condition. However, the product deserves a gold star for helping my skin not to dry out completely from the hospital air. Despite a long hospitalization, I have not looked as tired and saggy as one easily does after many days of care. Suitable for: Dry and normal skin Tired and dull skin Anyone wanting extra glow and moisture People working in hospitals or other environments with dry air Conclusion I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a simple but effective boost in their skincare routine. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #ACO

    So satisfied!

    I got this from #LYKO to test and have now been testing it for about a month and actually feel like I notice results from the first wash! My hair is a bit below the collarbone and has been bleached and dyed several times, it easily gets tangled and worn. When I travel to Gotland, my hair usually becomes miserable due to the calcium, but I have tested it there and also in Uppsala, which is said to be calcium-rich, and my hair has stayed soft and fresh for several days! It smells like a salon and gives the hair new life! I am so incredibly satisfied. The catch is that the finances don't quite add up for me to buy this product, so the price brings down the rating. But you get what you pay for! #LYKOINFLUTESTER #KERASTASE

    Very unclear🤔

    Received this from #LYKO to review, and I honestly don’t know what I think. The product is super pretty, which definitely enhances the experience and feeling of a salon. The scent of the product is a bit more like toilet cleaner than the other products in the same series. But I actually don’t have much to say about the product since I haven’t even noticed that it does anything😅 Tried it with shampoo and then just used the shampoo, and I noticed no difference?? Feels a bit luxurious with serum beforehand, but I don’t know if I would want to spend so much money on a product that I don’t notice does anything? But a big thank you for the opportunity to try this product! It has been a pleasure! #KERASTASE

    Salon in a can

    Received this shampoo + the remaining products in the same series to review from #LYKO Stylish and sleek bottle with a pleasant but slightly strong scent. An incredibly economical product that I was actually positively surprised by. When you lather up the shampoo, it felt almost smooth! It was soft and lathered nicely, a little goes a long way. I have quite oily and itchy scalp, but I actually think this shampoo worked great, and it might actually have to do with the fact that there is some hardness in the water (in Uppsala and on Gotland). Previous washes left my hair greasy the same day, but now it has stayed fresh for about 5 days. A pretty expensive shampoo, so if you’re not into the price range, there are probably absolutely other products in a lower price range that can work. But if you have a lot of hardness and a slightly tighter wallet, I would still recommend this shampoo since the only downside is the price, which really drags down the rating as it is a bit too pricey for just a shampoo. Would I buy it again? Maybe, but I would need a raise for that to happen 😉 3/5✨
