Why perfume?
The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson – the tester received the product for free. I understand that the product is supposed to feel luxurious, but why not let the consistency, the bottle, and the effectiveness speak for themselves? Why put perfume in a product with active ingredients known to risk irritation? Especially when it belongs to a product line focused on building the skin barrier, The product is nice, the oil gives a glow without being greasy and absorbs well into the skin. It blends nicely with the other products from Sawe, and the oil is good for locking in moisture in the skin with the hyaluronic catalyst power serum. A bit impractical in the summer since I don’t want to use retinol while it’s sunny outside, so the "glow" goes a bit to waste if you only use it before bedtime. But the oil is good, I haven’t had any reactions to it, but I also spent a week restoring the skin barrier with Sawe’s other products. The results are hard to say anything about after just a week, as retinol doesn’t show visible results for months. But a nice product for those who want to start trying out retinol. Two stars because it contains perfume :(Translated from norwegian
1 product in post Why perfume?184 views- Customer service at Lyko2 weeksHi Elmona 💛 Thank you so much for sharing your honest and thoughtful review – we really appreciate it! 🌿 We completely understand the skepticism around using perfume in skincare, especially in products with active ingredients like retinol. Many prefer fragrance-free when they have sensitive skin or are building up their skin barrier – and that is a completely legitimate and important consideration. At the same time, there are some brands that choose to add fragrance in small amounts to provide a sensory experience of the product, often to make the routine feel a bit more luxurious – as you also mention yourself. It's really nice to hear that you found the oil to be light and glowing, and that it worked well with the other Sawe products ✨ We hope you achieve good and visible results over time – and that the glow lasts all the way through 🌟

Let the skin relax
The evaluation was conducted on behalf of Smartson – the test person received the product for free. This mask has been very good for my skin, and has allowed it to relax after a period where I struggled a lot with constant redness, flaking, and breakouts. I was so lucky to test the Sawe product line at the perfect time when my skin needed a break. I have used this mask about 3 times a week for the last two weeks, and I have also used it over the hyaluronic catalyst power serum. I do not wash off the mask as one might do, but I can imagine it is a good alternative if you need a boost and a good base for the skin before applying makeup and the skin is a bit unstable. My skin has definitely become less sore and sensitive, and I think this product is great after having treatments or using retinol, to protect, calm down, and let the skin heal.Translated from norwegian

A good eye cream
The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson – the tester received the product for free. Nice and airy consistency on this, feels not heavy around the eyes, even when I have used it as a mask. Provides good moisture and does not sting (important for me as I have allergies and very sensitive eyes), does not run even though it has been very hot. Hard to say if it has had a significant effect on appearance in just two weeks, but the skin definitely feels softer and more elastic, and maybe a slight reduction in dark circles (despite terrible sleep in this heat). It works well with other creams, and does not clump and absorbs well into the skin.Translated from norwegian

This gives you "plump" skin (sorry for the ugly picture)
The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson – the tester received the product for free. I really like using dedicated hyaluron products, even though it’s said that it shouldn’t be necessary, and this was a very good variant. It’s important to use it on damp skin, and to apply a good moisturizer or oil right after so that the moisture isn’t drawn out of the skin. I combined it with the Sawe rejuvenating mask and Derm-alert barrier repair cream. My skin has definitely become much more elastic and well-hydrated, a slight reduction in fine lines, and it helps to strengthen the skin barrier, which is part of the point of this series. No perfume is important as it counteracts the effect. The serum is a bit "tacky" so it doesn’t just evaporate right away like some thinner serums can do. Worth trying if you want to test hyaluronic acid.Translated from norwegian

Does what it’s supposed to *WARNING gross picture
The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson – the tester received the product for free. I have been using this cream every morning and several evenings (on the days I haven’t used the mask) for about two weeks now, and the first thing it did was repair painful cracks in the corners of my mouth overnight. It is very economical and provides good moisture (I use it together with the hyaluronic catalyst power serum). The consistency is thick but absorbs well into the skin, so it’s good to use despite the heatwave that’s going on. No perfume makes me feel safer about the product since my skin can react negatively to it (besides, I think it’s terribly unnecessary), but it did sting a bit upon application the first day when my skin was a bit sore, but I’ve experienced this with all such types of creams. The skin barrier has definitely improved, and it gives the skin a boost. Happy that it sits nicely under the sunscreen and doesn’t “pill,” which can often be a problem. I will test it again in the winter to see what it can do for dry winter skin!Translated from norwegian
