    Versatile cream

    I have been so lucky to test products from the new brand SAWE for a month. Exciting new brand developed by an aesthetic nurse in collaboration with top laboratories. The brand focuses on effective and innovative skincare. A bit about my skin: -combination skin type with dry areas -large pores in the T-zone -focus on slowing down signs of aging, and a desire for healthy and glowing skin. The products come in an ice blue squeeze tube with black text/print. The cream is thick in consistency, so you have to use a bit of force to get the product out. The cream contains several good ingredients that provide moisture like glycerin and panthenol. The cream is, as mentioned above, thick in consistency, and I chose to use it in the evening as it turned a bit white on my face and took time to absorb into the skin. However, the cream moisturizes well, and I have also used it as hand cream since I get dry hands in the spring. It worked well for that. I can also see that it would be nice to use on elbows and knees before self-tanning. Overall, a good and versatile cream at a nice price for the amount, I think. I can see that those with dry skin will like this cream if they can tolerate the thick consistency. Thanks to Lyko and SAWE for letting me test these nice and good products. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #SAWE

    Good serum for combo/normal skin type

    I have been so lucky to test products from the new brand SAWE for a month. Exciting new brand developed by an aesthetic nurse in collaboration with top laboratories. The brand focuses on effective and innovative skincare. A bit about my skin: -combination skin type with dry areas -large pores in the T-zone -focus on slowing down signs of aging, and a desire for healthy and glowing skin. The products come in an ice blue glass bottle with a dropper, with black print/text. Practical and hygienic with a dropper, and you easily get out the amount you need for your face and neck. The product contains hyaluronic acid in different molecular forms and niacinamide, which are good ingredients for healthy and radiant skin. I think I might need a lot of product per application to cover the desired area, which might be a downside for some regarding the price. (I recommend buying now while there is a 20% promotion!) The product feels nice on the skin, and I think it hydrates well for my combination skin. I get a very nice glow in my face from the serum, some might think it’s too much glow, but it depends on what you like. I believe most people with normal/combination skin will like the consistency and feeling that the product gives. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #SAWE

    Good moisture!

    I have been so lucky to test products from the new brand SAWE for a month. Exciting new brand developed by an aesthetic nurse in collaboration with top laboratories. The brand focuses on effective and innovative skincare. A little about my skin: -combination skin type with dry areas - large pores in the T-zone - focus on slowing down signs of aging, and a desire for healthy and glowing skin. The eye cream comes in a practical squeeze tube, where you can squeeze out the desired amount of product. The packaging is light blue with black text. I find the packaging practical and hygienic to use. The cream feels cooling and moisturizing under the eyes and I feel it suits my skin well. I have no issues with dark circles under my eyes/bags so I can't comment on the effect there. I feel this is a good eye cream that many will like, recommended for those who want a regular eye cream with good properties. I liked it a lot and look forward to using it further. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #SAWE

    Fat and dry at the same time

    I have been testing this barrier cream for a while now but unfortunately, I'm not sold. To start with, it is supposed to be particularly suitable for dry or sensitive skin and be good in cold climates. Since I have combination/oily skin and we are heading into summer, it wasn't really set up for success either. The cream is very thick. I would like to compare it to something like Idomin, but with a slightly drier formula. Despite that, my skin feels dry and tight shortly after application, and I don't find that pleasant at all; it becomes rather very uncomfortable. I think it can be likened to the feeling on the skin when a clay mask starts to dry. At the same time, I also experience it as greasy. My partially oily skin feels even oilier after a night with this. It's as if it somehow becomes both too dry and too oily at the same time. Unfortunately, I haven't really been able to test the barrier-strengthening properties, as I haven't needed it. The climate has been mild, I haven't used particularly strong skincare products, and my skin has generally been in decent balance. As a hand cream, it worked excellently, but it's a bit on the expensive side for it to be worth the price for that purpose. Unfortunately, not a hit for me at all! I will save this in the bathroom cabinet for the next skin crisis or as a moisture bomb/treatment as needed! #LYKOINFLUTESTER #SAWE

    Fat eye cream that gets an approved rating

    I have been testing this eye cream for a month now. There’s nothing majorly wrong with it, but I had hoped for a noticeable difference in my relatively dark circles under my eyes. It didn’t turn out to be as clear as I had hoped, but there’s probably a little difference anyway! The formula is quite thick and slow-flowing, and you have to dab diligently to get an even application under the eye. Just like the other products in this series, I find that it tends to make the skin a bit dry. I notice this because my concealer tends to crease a bit on top of the cream, and I haven’t had that problem with that concealer before. I don’t have many lines under my eyes, but the ones I do have haven’t changed at all since I started using the cream. What I can actually feel is that the cream can tighten a bit, which is somewhat related to it feeling dry, if that makes sense. The cream gets an approved rating, but it doesn’t do wonders for me. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #SAWE

    Pretty okay

    I've been able to try this serum for about a month now, and I have to say that I'm fairly satisfied. I have combination skin that is more oily than dry. Therefore, I like to use niacinamide in my skincare routine to reduce blemishes and large pores. I also think it felt very smooth with a product containing hyaluronic acid, because whose skin doesn't benefit from moisture? Great with multiproducts, I think🌟 The formula is a bit hard to define. It's not very runny, but the drop stays on the skin. However, it still felt very fluid once I started working it into the skin. The product is absorbed by the skin very quickly, unless you apply it on damp skin or with a lot of product. However, the skin doesn't feel really saturated with moisture. After one layer, the skin feels somewhat dry. This happens even if you use a lot of product, once it has sunk in well. My experience is that the only way to avoid this is to apply it on damp/very moist skin. Alternatively, you can complement it with an additional moisture serum before the day cream. So that it quenches the skin's thirst and is a hero for layered moisture, yes, that's not something I feel super clearly. I really like the packaging. The bottle is pretty and looks luxurious, and it's so convenient with a dropper for application. However, it is always a bit tricky to have a glass container in the bathroom. The visible result then? Yes, unfortunately, I can't claim that I notice any major difference. Now that spring has come and I've gotten a bit of color, the skin tone becomes a bit more even with the tan. However, it does feel a bit healthier/stronger actually, even though that's something I find hard to "measure". Maybe a bit fewer breakouts and oiliness. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #SAWE

    Nice barrier cream but the price brings down the rating

    I have tested this barrier cream for about a month. For reference, I have a dry skin type. This is a really nice barrier cream. Thick and nourishing in its texture and works well for dry to normal skin. I can imagine it could quickly repair a damaged barrier. Oily skin types will find it too rich. Maybe a bit too rich as a day cream at this time of year, but would work better in the fall, winter, and early spring. Comes in a handy tube which I like because it is both hygienic and easy to use. The price range is model higher, but could still be justified considering how nourishing it is. #Lykoinflutester #sawe

    Basic at a high price

    I have tested my eye cream for about a month. My skin is dry, and the eye area tends to get milia. Small tube of 15ml, but it will last long because it is economical. Easy to dose. The cream itself is very rich in texture, which could pose a problem for me as I easily get milia. However, I haven't experienced that yet. It is a pretty straightforward eye cream. I think it is okay, but not fantastic. The price range is higher, which may be due to the fact that the cream is probably manufactured for Scandinavia. For me, I have found that it has not been brightening but moisturizing. However, I can still say that there are both better and more affordable eye creams on the market. #Lykoinflutester #sawe

    Too expensive for a basic product

    I have tested this hyaluronic acid serum for about a month. As a reference, I have dry skin. I can start by saying that the design of this is very beautiful. It is a solid glass bottle with a dropper that is aesthetically pleasing. The serum is easy to dispense and is quite viscous, resembling many other hyaluronic acid serums in its texture. It is a bit sticky upon application and thus resembles other serums with the same ingredient list. It hydrates okay but not wow. Price-wise, it is expensive, and I feel it is too pricey for the composition it has. This is not the best hyaluronic acid serum I have tested, but definitely one of the most expensive. I don't think the design justifies the price considering the formulation is not particularly elegant. I would not buy it again. #Lykoinflutester #sawe

    5 🌟 out of 5

    As a #LYKOINFLUTESTER, I have had the honor of testing products from #THEORDINARY 😍 One of the products is The Ordinary GF Solution 15% Serum. My skin type is combination - according to my experience with fine lines and pores. Incredibly good serum I felt after a month of use 😍 Fragrance-free, easy to apply, absorbs quickly into the skin. The serum gave my skin radiance, my skin feels hydrated, the fine lines have started to disappear, and the pores feel less clogged and not as large as before. Good price is also a bonus. 😍 The bottle is incredibly nice and easy to use. 4 to 5 drops are enough for the whole face and neck. I can really recommend the serum, and I will continue to use it. 😍 Thanks to Lyko and Ordinary 😍🌹

    As a #LYKOINFLUTESTER, I have had the honor of testing products from #THEORDINARY 😍 One of the products is The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + HA Serum. My skin type is combination - according to my experience. I have used the product in the evening before night cream. Unfortunately, I haven't noticed such a big difference from before using it - it does take its time, of course 😍😅 It's easy to apply, a small and handy bottle. The consistency is a bit thicker but absorbs quickly. I felt that my skin became more hydrated, that's pretty much the only thing so far - but better than nothing 😍 I recommend the serum and will continue to use it. Thanks to Lyko and Ordinary 😍🌹

    ❤️ IT

    As a #LYKOINFLUTESTER, I had the honor of testing products from #THEORDINARY 😍 One of the products is The Ordinary Multi-Active Delivery Essence. My skin type is combination - according to my experience. I have used the toner both morning and night and experienced an incredibly moisturizing effect. It didn't take much product, it absorbed into the skin quite quickly, and the texture was not too oily but not too thick either. Incredibly easy to use, in my opinion. The scent is incredibly mild and faint - I can't quite put my finger on the scent, but it's incredibly mild. The glass bottle was a surprise and feels very nice in itself. However, it is a bit risky if you want to take it on a trip 😅 Very good toner that will be used again 😍 Love it 😍 Thanks to Lyko and Ordinary 😍🌹

    Okay-Good

    I am a Lyko influencer and had the honor of trying this serum! I would say as the title that the serum is absolutely just okay/good, nothing that is outstanding for me, I have tried other serums that I like more and feel a difference in a different way. This could just be my feeling because when I used this serum today, I actually got a compliment that my hair looked healthy and fresh, so I absolutely do not say that it is bad but will probably not buy this serum again. However, it is definitely a good alternative if you have a budget to stick to and want a good cheaper option even though I personally prefer to spend a little extra money on just hair serums. A good tip on how to use this serum is on "hair wash day" which I have today! I used myyyyyy much product and made a sleek/slicked low ponytail and used a lot of serum instead of damaging gel/wax/hairspray. I thought the serum defined my curls nicely, throwing in the video here too! #WATERCLOUDS #LYKOINFLUTESTER

    Unfortunately, it didn't suit my skin

    I was so lucky to test the serum, eye cream, and this day cream from SAWE, «Derm-Alert Barrier Repair Cream 75 ml» as #lykoinflutester. A bit about my skin: I am 39 years old and have started to get fine lines around my eyes. I have a normal to dry skin type and need a good amount of moisture. I don't have many skin problems aside from a few bumps and red spots in between. (Something I think comes from facial shaving). Using this as a day cream every single day, unfortunately, I won't be doing. I have tested it, and for me, it worked very poorly. Mostly because it often pills and didn't work well with the makeup I use. I love that it comes in a tube, the easiest and most hygienic. Very easy to get the right amount of product out this way. I noticed that on the days I exfoliated first, it laid much better and absorbed quickly into the skin. But on the days I didn't do that, it sat like a film on the skin. And I can't exfoliate every single day. For me with dry skin type, it was unfortunately not optimal. Maybe it works better for other skin types? #SAWE

    Very good 🫶🏻

    I was so lucky to test this eye cream from Sawe, «Radiant Revive Eye Cream» as #lykoinflutester. A bit about my skin: I am 39 years old and have started to get fine lines around my eyes; and I am drier under my eyes than before. I have normal to dry skin type, and I need a good amount of moisture. This eye cream is probably the product I liked the most out of all three products I have tested from the brand. I love that it comes in a tube, which is the most hygienic and easy to use. Easy to squeeze out a suitable amount. (Thanks!) I have used this morning and night for a longer period together with the serum and the moisturizer. As long as you let it dry in for a few minutes before applying face cream, this is gold. But I noticed on the mornings when I was a bit short on time and applied the products a bit too quickly, it rolled off my skin. So be careful to let it sit for a few minutes between each step so the product has time to DRY in properly. Then there are no problems.👏🏼🤩 I think this moisturized well and did its job. On the days I wore makeup, the concealer sat nicely over it, which I really appreciate.🥰 Absolutely an eye cream I would recommend. Pricey, but it is good.☺️ #SAWE

    Good but not wow🫣

    I have now tested this serum for about 3 weeks as a #lykoinflutester, and here is my review. First a bit about me: 39 years old, have normal to dry skin type, no special skin issues other than that I have struggled with some dry spots on my face, and fine lines around my eyes. I get some bumps and red spots in between (I think it's due to face shaving, lol). I love the design of this brand. Clean and nice design. Feels luxurious with a glass bottle with a dropper.👏🏼 The serum itself has a very watery consistency, thin and fluid. I like that it absorbs quickly into the skin. But I feel that for me it didn't do much, I need more moisture than the serum unfortunately provided.🥹 But I will continue to use it along with some other creams and see if it might work better for me than with the SAWE cream that I have used it with so far. The price is steep, I think, as there are many comparable serums at much lower costs. But if you're looking for a short skincare routine and can afford it; then it's worth trying out. Not everything works for everyone. Very good that it is fragrance-free as that is completely unnecessary in skincare. I give it 3 stars as it didn't give me as much as I hoped, but it is still a good product.⭐️⭐️⭐️ #sawe

    Totally awesome if only used as needed 🩵

    I was so lucky to receive the “Derm-Alert Barrier Repair Cream” from SAWE to test it out as a #LYKOINFLUTESTER. Along with the “Radiant Revive Eye Cream” and the “Hyaluronic Catalyst Power Serum” from the same brand, which I have used together with this cream during the testing period. I am 34 years old, have normal to dry skin. A bit sensitive at times if products contain a lot of fragrance. I have a few lines around my eyes, but I don’t have particularly large bags or dark circles under my eyes. And I get a few pimples/bumps now and then. I like that the cream is in a tube, as it is more hygienic than in a jar. And it’s easy to cut open to use up the last bit of the product when it’s getting low. Otherwise, a nice and sleek packaging! The cream also has no noticeable scent. The consistency of the cream is thick and almost a bit “dry.” It reminds me a bit of cold cream. Something I quickly understand is the case when I read about it, as it can be used as needed, or daily in cold climates to repair, soothe, hydrate, and protect the skin. And okay, I live in Finnmark, but it’s not THAT cold here now that I think this was the right time to use it - especially not every day over a longer period 😅 I have used the cream together with the other products in the series over a longer period, both morning and night. Since the cream is quite thick and “dry,” it is quite difficult to spread and distribute evenly on the skin. The skin feels very soft after application, and looks almost a bit matte (see the video). It almost feels like a protective layer is forming over the face. Something that doesn’t give me the moist feeling I usually get from a night cream or day cream. But I definitely see improvements in redness and irritation in the skin when I have used this as a night cream. So there’s no doubt that it contains good ingredients for my skin that calm it down. Which is nice to know! 🩵 As a day cream under makeup, I don’t think it worked very well. As it can pill if you apply too much cream or if it reacts “wrongly” with other products. I will continue to use this cream in short periods when, for example, my skin barrier is weak or the skin needs to heal. And I should mention that I have used it quite a bit on eczema on my arms and neck, which has worked great. As it lays down like a protective barrier, which makes me itch less and helps the skin heal faster. It also works great as a hand cream and on other dry areas of the body. So I might like it better on the body than on the face. Since eczema and itching on the body are something I struggle more with than on my face. So if you set aside the thought that this is a day/night cream, and understand that this is a cream that only needs to be used as needed, when the skin is fragile and damaged (or when it’s freezing cold outside) - it’s totally awesome! The price isn’t so bad either, considering how little you need to use and that you don’t have to use it every day. I will continue to use it as needed and only in the evening on my face, but gladly daily on the rest of my body. Big plus that it doesn’t contain fragrance and is great for sensitive skin!

    Moisture boost for the eyes!

    I was so lucky to receive the “Radiant Revive Eye Cream” from SAWE to test it out as a #LYKOINFLUTESTER. Along with the “Hyaluronic Catalyst Power Serum” and “Derm-Alert Barrier Repair Cream” from the same brand, which I have used together with this eye cream during the testing period. I am 34 years old, have normal to dry skin. A bit sensitive at times if products contain a lot of fragrance. I have some lines around my eyes, but I don’t have particularly large bags or dark circles under my eyes. And I get a few pimples/bumps now and then. I like that the eye cream is in a tube, as it is more hygienic than in a jar. And that I can cut it open to use the last bit of the product when it gets close to empty. Otherwise, a lovely and stylish packaging! I appreciate that it can actually stand, as many eye creams I have in tubes are long and don’t stand very steadily on the bathroom shelf. I also really like how easy it is to apply eye cream with this, compared to when you have to apply an eye cream from a jar. The eye cream also has no noticeable scent. The consistency of the eye cream is just perfect, neither too thick nor too thin - and a bit creamy. It absorbs without fully soaking in, so the eye area feels moisturized for a long time after application - something I love. It also doesn’t feel sticky or tacky around the eyes. Easy to spread evenly. I have used the eye cream together with the other products in the series for a longer period, both morning and night. Personally, I love a slightly creamy eye cream that provides a lot of moisture - which this one absolutely does. Just remember to be good at massaging and gently patting it into the skin until it is absorbed. Otherwise, it can sit on the skin as an extra layer, which doesn’t work so well under makeup. I have also used it as an eye mask on some evenings, where I applied an extra thick layer around the eyes - which has also worked great for an extra moisture boost around the eyes 💦 But I must admit that I like it best in my evening routine, as I don’t always find it looks as nice under makeup (could 100% be because it has been used together with the “Derm-Alert Barrier Repair Cream,” which doesn’t always work as well under makeup!) But I will test it out a bit more under makeup going forward, with my regular day cream to see if it works better. And even though I don’t notice any big differences in the lines I have around my eyes - it is definitely preventive in terms of a lot of moisture. Which is really needed at the age of 34! So this will be a staple product in my evening routine going forward. I really like how the eye area feels in the morning after using this 🩵 Big plus that it doesn’t contain fragrance and is suitable for sensitive skin! A bit unsure if I would buy it again when this runs out. As I think it is a bit pricey considering the size. But it could be that I see better results after using it consistently for several weeks. So time will tell 🥰 Stars: ⭐⭐⭐ #SAWE

    Good ingredients but quite expensive!

    I was so lucky to receive the Hyaluronic Catalyst Power Serum from SAWE to test as a #LYKOINFLUTESTER. Also the “Radiant Revive Eye Cream” and “Derm-Alert Barrier Repair Cream” from the same brand, which I have used together with this serum during the testing period 🩵 I am 34 years old, have normal to dry skin. A bit sensitive at times if products contain a lot of fragrance. I have some lines around my eyes, but I don’t have particularly big bags or dark circles under my eyes. And I get a few pimples/bumps now and then. A moisturizing serum is a staple in my daily morning and evening routine. Therefore, I was very excited about this serum packed full of different hyaluronic acids in different molecular forms + niacinamide. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous in frosted glass with a dropper. Looks very sleek and chic in the bathroom, especially together with the other products in the same series 🤩 The consistency of the serum is lovely and thin. Easy to get evenly distributed over the face and neck. Doesn’t feel sticky or tacky on the skin after application, and absorbs quickly (important to apply on damp skin). But it doesn’t give a moisturized “glow” like many of my regular moisturizing serums do after application. But the skin feels hydrated. No noticeable scent on the product either. I have used the serum - along with the other products in the series, over a longer period - both morning and evening. And even though I am a bit dry in the skin at the moment, I don’t notice a big difference in my skin after this period. But I should mention that I have tested the serum twice with another moisturizer, which I think gave better results than with the “Derm-Alert Barrier Repair Cream” from SAWE. I feel like my skin feels MUCH more hydrated then. So it could be that I just tested the serum with the wrong products on top. I believe this serum will also work well with other active serums. So I will be testing the serum more with other products going forward, as I really have high hopes for it considering the price. And it absolutely hasn’t made my skin drier or given me any breakouts. The main downside is that my favorite moisturizing serum costs less than half the price of this one.. Big plus that it doesn’t contain fragrance and is suitable for sensitive skin! Stars: ⭐⭐⭐ #SAWE

    Doesn't quite cut it

    I've tried this for about 3 weeks as a #lykoinflutester. I'm 44 years old and have lines and am sometimes dark under the eyes. I like products that provide a lot of moisture and nourishment. I don't think this one gives enough. The product doesn't absorb properly, and if you use too much, you have to peel it off before applying makeup. What I do think I see, is that the cream brightens the area under the eye (see picture. Left side with the eye cream, right side without). Unfortunately, the effect doesn't last long. It's nice to be able to use the cream as an overnight mask, but it becomes very kite and sparse in use. I think it's positive that the tube is pointed. It makes it easier to take the right amount of product. This doesn't quite cut it for me, unfortunately. #sawe

    Did not work for me

    As a #lykoinflutester, I got to test #theordinary's essence. After a dead month of testing, I unfortunately find that this was not a product for me. My skin is combination to dry. It is not sensitive. The bottle itself has a sleek expression, and it is made of glass, which gives an impression of being a bit exclusive. The product is runny like water, and the pouring mechanism adjusts the amount you get out somewhat, but I think a lot of product is wasted when applying. After using this for a week (applied before serum and cream), I felt my skin seemed stiff and a bit dry from the water. It sat on my skin like a mask, and I did not experience that it provided the nourishing and moisturizing effect that several others rave about here, unfortunately. This did not quite suit me.

    Pretty okay serum

    I have tested this product from #theordinary as a #lykoinflutester. After about a month of use, I don't feel like I notice any big difference on my skin. But it has held up nicely. I have combination to dry skin, which is not very sensitive. A little extra moisture is therefore always welcome. The serum has, like the rest of The Ordinary's products, a sleek and nice appearance, and the glass bottle gives a nice expression. The product itself has a thick and slightly gel-like consistency. It is easy to apply, and the pipette makes dosing easy. But it takes a bit of time to absorb into the skin, and it doesn't fully sink in either. Furthermore, I noticed that it flaked off under makeup, so it became a no-go for me to use this during the day. So I used the serum every night before my night cream. I feel that my skin was pretty much the same from start to finish, but it definitely didn't become more hydrated.

    Magical essence that perfectly prepares the skin – wow what a difference!

    A little brief info about me & my skin: I am 31 years old with what is commonly referred to as “fine combination skin.” This means I have small pores and skin that is quite even, but I also have some blackheads, a shiny nose and chin, the occasional pimple, and also signs of surface dryness – especially when the weather changes. The skin is mostly normal on the cheeks, but can feel tight sometimes after cleansing. I have also started to notice some small superficial lines, especially on my forehead. Essences have never been a given part of my routine before, but now I really understand why it has become so popular – this step has made a big difference in how the skin receives the rest of my skincare. Consistency & scent: The Multi-Active Delivery Essence has an incredibly light and silky consistency. It’s almost like a thin gel/water hybrid – featherlight and very pleasant to pat into the skin. I pour a few drops into my palm and press it into my face right after cleansing, before serum. It absorbs quickly but leaves a discreet hydrated feeling, without becoming sticky or greasy. The scent is very mild and neutral, with a slight “skincare” tone – nothing that disturbs or irritates, so it feels great even for those of us who are sensitive to scents. Packaging: The essence comes in a sturdy, frosted glass bottle – simple but luxurious in its design. It lacks a pump, so I carefully pour it directly into my hand. It feels like a product that lasts a long time, as only a few drops are needed for the entire face. Here’s how I use it: I have used it every day, morning and evening, as the first step after cleansing – before the other two products I have tested from The Ordinary (Multi-Peptide + HA Serum and GF Solution 15%). It acts as a preparatory layer that helps the rest of the skincare absorb better, and I have really noticed a difference! Experience & results: Already after the first application, the skin felt less tight and more “plump.” It provides immediate hydration that feels natural, not greasy – and the skin gets a beautiful glow without shining unnecessarily much. What I really appreciate is that it strengthens the skin barrier without feeling heavy. After a few days, I noticed that the skin was less reactive after cleansing (I usually easily get a red nose/cheeks right after showering) and that the dry feeling decreased significantly. It felt like the skin became better at receiving serum and cream – and according to information from The Ordinary, it actually helps with just that, by increasing the absorption of subsequent products. So cool! I have also tested it together with other active ingredients (including Niacinamide, Prebiotics, Retinol, etc.) and experienced no reactions – just even more effect. The skin felt clearer and more balanced, which I truly believe is thanks to how it helps deliver active ingredients deeper. What it does for my skin type: As someone with combination skin, it’s always a challenge to find products that hydrate without clogging. This essence manages to balance that act – it hydrates my dry areas while the skin feels more controlled in the shiny zones. It works quietly but gives noticeable results: smoother, softer, calmer skin that stays nice all day. Conclusion: This has become an indispensable step in my routine. This essence works as a perfect “soft start” for the skin – hydrates immediately, prepares the skin for subsequent products, and also helps improve their effects. It’s a bit like pressing the “boost” button in your skincare routine, but in a very gentle and balanced way. I will definitely continue to use it and can warmly recommend it to anyone looking for smoother, more hydrated skin – whether you have combination, dry, or sensitive skin. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #THEORDINARY

    Calmer skin, smaller pores, and really lovely glow! ✨

    A little brief info about me & my skin: I am 31 years old and have a so-called “fine combination skin” – meaning small pores, but with a tendency for a shiny nose and chin. I have a few blackheads, get the occasional pimple here and there, and I am also dry in certain areas, especially in winter. The skin often feels normal on the cheeks but has some unevenness in texture and small superficial lines that are starting to sneak in, especially on the forehead and around the eyes. When I started using this serum, I had some inflamed pimples and felt that my skin looked a bit tired and dull. I wanted to restore the balance and preferably work preventively with both moisture and texture. Consistency & scent: GF Solution is a thin, lightweight serum – almost like water in consistency. It glides easily over the skin and absorbs quickly, which I love because it makes the rest of the routine go smoothly. The scent is practically non-existent, and it really feels like a skin-friendly product. It leaves no sticky feeling behind, and I immediately noticed that my skin felt a bit “plump” and hydrated right after application. Packaging: Classic The Ordinary bottle in dark brown glass with a dropper. Simple, sleek, and practical – easy to dose and hygienic in the long run. I use about 4-5 drops for the entire face and neck, which feels just right without being too much. Results & experience: I started using this serum every evening right after cleansing and essence. Already after a few days, I noticed that my skin felt calmer and looked fresher. The small dry areas on my cheeks became less tight, and my skin overall looked a bit clearer. After two weeks of regular use, I began to notice a real difference in my skin texture. The pores, especially on my nose and chin, looked smaller – not gone, but clearly more refined. I also experienced that the surface became smoother and that my makeup applied more nicely. Those small lines on my forehead also looked a bit less prominent, probably thanks to the extra moisture and strengthening of the skin. Another big advantage was that I didn’t have any reactions or breakouts from this serum – which sometimes happens with other active products. My skin stayed balanced, and I didn’t get that “oily hydration” but a smooth, balanced feeling. Conclusion: This is a fantastic serum for you if you want to even out skin texture, give your skin extra glow, and strengthen the skin barrier without risking clogging the pores. I love how effective yet gentle it feels. A clear evening favorite in my routine that works while I sleep – my skin feels more harmonious when I wake up. #lykoinflutester #theordinary
