Combine or replace?
Should this mask be used instead of, or in addition to, night cream? In what order should the products be applied in that case? (I use Purito Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream in the evening.) How often can/should the mask be used?1 product in post Combine or replace?7 views - The post was made 2 daysRating: 1 out of 5verified customer
Sticky
Unfortunately, nothing good to say about this. Sticky and slimy formula, most of it ends up outside the lashes. Clumpy brush. Irritates the eyes. Hard to wash off. 0/0.1 product in post Sticky37 views - The post was made 8 months
Cruelty free alternatives
Hi, I'm looking for a corresponding product with the same properties, but that is cruelty free and vegan. Any tips? Preferably more than one product to check out, if there are any. Thanks!1 product in post Cruelty free alternatives1957 views- The user's roll: Employees at Lyko. The comment was made 7 monthsHey EmmaA😊 I understand, and when I was looking, I found this CC cream that is cruelty-free, vegan-friendly, and fragrance-free, and works as a light color-correcting base with SPF (so it evens out skin tone and can help to reduce redness). The formula is also gentle and nourishing. So I hope it can feel like a good alternative to a dupe for you: lyko.com/sv/isadora/isadora-cc--cream--green-cc--30-ml Wishing you a lovely day💫

Thicker cream, but overly sweet
I am a big fan of Body Shop's hand creams, but this one didn't become a favorite. It's more of a balm than a cream, which is good in winter, but it feels a bit sticky. I use it when I go to bed. Works in the evening, not during the day - don't use it if you're reading in the evening, as it will smudge/dirty the book pages! Unfortunately, I don't think the effect lasts in the same way as Body Shop's other hand creams. The spicy scent is nice, but it's extremely sweet and cloying, so the scent becomes too much for me. Also note that it's a metal tube, which isn't very clear in the picture! Personally, I have a hard time with this, as the tube quickly looks a bit shabby and doesn't give that luxurious feeling at all, but rather reminds me of a half-squeezed caviar tube…1 product in post Thicker cream, but overly sweet227 views- The user's roll: Employees at Lyko. The comment was made 9 monthsHey EmmaA 😊 Thank you for sharing your review! 🤍 How wonderful that you like the spicy scent and that it works well as a night cream – it’s always valuable for both us and other customers to know what works well with the product. Both scent and feel are so individual regarding skin type and preference. We also appreciate that you mention both positive and negative aspects, it gives a clear and honest picture of the product. Hope you’ve found another hand cream that feels better for you, here’s also a tip for a hand lotion that I hope will feel good for you: lyko.com/sv/estelle-thild/estelle-thild-vanilla-tangerine-hand-lotion-250ml Wishing you a super nice day🎀

Lovely scent but insufficient hydration
I love Body Shop's hand creams, but this one didn't become a favorite. Smells lovely of forest and berries, but way too poor hydration to work in winter. Sad since it's just a fall-limited edition. Note also that it's a metal tube, which isn't very clear in the picture! Personally, I have a hard time with this, as the tube quickly looks shabby and doesn't give that luxurious feeling one wants, but rather reminds me of a half-squeezed caviar tube…1 product in post Lovely scent but insufficient hydration88 views - The post was made 9 months
Torris
Hey, is this suitable for dry skin?1 product in post Torris247 views- The user's roll: Employees at Lyko. The comment was made 9 monthsHi Emma😊 Thank you for your question✨ By Lyko Micellar Water can also be used on dry skin, but keep in mind that it primarily cleanses and does not add much moisture. For really dry skin, it is recommended to follow up with a moisturizing cream or serum after cleansing to make the skin feel soft and comfortable. However, I can recommend this toner/essence that provides lots of moisture: lyko.com/sv/klairs/klairs-freshly-juiced-vitamin-essence-toner-30ml Hope the answer can be helpful and that you have a super nice Friday🖤

Removal Tips
Hey, I think this mascara is really great, except when it comes to washing it off. How do I remove the mascara without my face and sink getting full of oily flakes? They really stick everywhere and it's so incredibly unpleasant and cumbersome. I use cleanser and micellar water to take off my makeup. But I'm not used to water mascara, so any tips for easy removal are greatly appreciated🌟1 product in post Removal Tips262 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 9 monthsHey Emma! 🌞👋 Of course, I can help you with that! This mascara is waterproof, so regular cleanser and micellar water often aren't enough – that's why you get those "oily flakes". Here are some tips to remove it easily without mess: Use a two-phase remover (oil + water). Shake the bottle first, saturate a cotton pad thoroughly, place it on your lashes for 10–15 seconds, and gently swipe down. Repeat as needed without rubbing. Good examples are NIVEA Double Effect Eye Make-Up Remover or L’Oréal Paris Eye & Lip Make-Up Remover Waterproof. To avoid "oily flakes" in the sink, keep the pad slightly damp and work in small, controlled strokes. A soft microfiber cloth can also be good to have to catch everything afterward. Alternatively, you can remove eye makeup with a cleansing balm/oil first, gently massage over the lashes for 20–30 seconds, and wipe off with a warm, wrung-out washcloth. Remember to avoid mixing micellar water and oil at the same time – choose either a two-phase remover or oil cleansing. Hope this helps you get the mascara off without any problems!

Best reusable pads!
I have tried several different washable pads and these are definitely my favorites. Soft, fluffy, and good quality that lasts. They are larger than cotton pads, which was unusual at first, but now just feels luxurious. One tip is to hold the pads firmly with both hands if you think they slide around too much. However, they are not used for waterproof makeup/remover, which probably won't come out in the wash. I rarely use waterproof products, but I have disposable/cotton pads for that. The pads stay soft wash after wash. I put them in a small laundry bag and wash with towels at 60 degrees, and use a vinegar mixture as fabric softener. I lay them flat to dry on a drying rack. Works perfectly, they have lasted for several years 💚1 product in post Best reusable pads!371 views - The post was made 1 yearRating: 2 out of 5verified customer
Insufficient Hydration
I have the impractical combo of combination/dry skin that is sensitive to pretty much EVERYTHING that can clog pores. So hard to find a good moisturizer! I tried The Ordinary's HA moisturizer before, but it was too thick in consistency and not good in terms of hydration either. Unfortunately, this one wasn't pleasant either. It looks, smells, and feels like hand sanitizer… 🥴 and leaves a very sticky surface behind. It also doesn't feel particularly hydrating. The only plus was that I notice my skin feels more even after some time of use. But unfortunately, that's not enough, especially when I'm looking for something hydrating. I won't be buying it again. I'm now trying Inkey's Omega cream instead. Cautiously positive, it feels significantly more hydrating.1 product in post Insufficient Hydration1574 views- The user's roll: Employees at Lyko. The comment was made 1 yearHey EmmaA😊 Thank you for honestly sharing your experience – I understand how frustrating it can be to find a moisturizing cream that really works, especially when the skin is both sensitive and combination🤍 It's unfortunate that this one didn't live up to your expectations, although it's positive that you noticed some evenness in your skin. We're glad you're now trying the Inkey Omega Cream instead – many with a similar skin type find it more moisturizing and gentle, so we hope it works better for you! Don't hesitate to reach out if you want more tips or guidance – we're happy to help you further ✨ Wishing you a super nice day🌞1 likes

Not good with powder
I have previously used Hickap, but it was unfortunately very drying, so I tried this instead. I like the spray, it becomes a lovely mist! (not at all like Hickap's garden hose🙄😅) I think it works ok over foundation, but not so well over powder, it gets too wet and uneven. Dries quite slowly. Overall, not a hit for me at all. I will not buy it again, but I am looking for a setting spray that better suits my needs.1 product in post Not good with powder2014 views- The user's roll: Skin therapist at Lyko. The comment was made 1 yearHey EmmaA! Thanks for your review even though it wasn't a favorite for you. Maybe their new 🧡 could suit you better - it also comes in a smaller size to try out. I also want to mention Minolei (also perfume- and alcohol-free) and the spray that comes out is like a little lovely cloud that spreads nicely over the skin 💦 even over powder that I personally use every day. lyko.com/sv/idun-minerals/idun-minerals-ready-set-fix-setting-spray-travel-size-30-ml lyko.com/sv/minolei/minolei-set-effect-setting-spray-100-ml Take care 🌸
