Nice consistency but not moisturizing enough
I was selected to test some products from #emmas – wonderful! About me: almost 38 years old, (even though my mind says 20 🤷🏻♀️) where age starts to show in the form of fine lines around the eyes and some deeper ones on the forehead. I have a combination skin type with an oily T-zone but drier and somewhat red cheeks. I'm not super sensitive but can sometimes react to e.g. retinol or strongly fragranced skincare. I have used this essence basically every morning and evening for about a month. It’s not completely runny but has a more gel-like consistency, which I love! The packaging makes it easy to dispense into the hand or on a cotton pad, although I personally always prefer a pump for skincare products. It absorbs very quickly into the skin and leaves no sticky residue. I follow up with serum quite soon after applying the essence and it has already absorbed into the skin. However, despite the name, I feel it doesn’t provide enough moisture for me. It’s almost fragrance-free, and the little scent it has is very light and fresh and just a “clean product.” Overall, I generally think Emma S is a bit overpriced. This is because I haven’t been blown away by any of the products I’ve tested, although some have been okay – including this essence. But on the whole, I find it pleasant, it absorbs quickly but hasn’t done anything remarkable for my skin during the trial period, and I have other essences I prefer to use – e.g. The Body Shop’s Edelweiss Prep Essence or Dr Ceuracle’s Vegan Active Berry First Essence. Therefore, I give it a final rating of 3 weak stars. #lykotestpilot1 product in post Nice consistency but not moisturizing enough3 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Gentle and mild cleansing
I have tried this gel cleanser for a few weeks and really like it. It is very mild and gentle on the skin and fragrance-free, which is a plus for me. However, I would prefer to use it in the morning or in the evening if I haven't worn makeup, as I find that not all makeup comes off even with double cleansing. I have a dry surface skin type with a more oily T-zone, and it did not leave my skin tight or dry; I could easily wait a bit between steps in my skincare routine without my skin screaming for moisture. #lykotestpilot #emmas1 product in post Gentle and mild cleansing3 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Unfortunately it didn't suit my skin
I have been able to test this day cream with SPF 20 for a few weeks and I was excited to use a day cream with sun protection since I usually prefer to use them separately. My first impression of the day cream was that the packaging felt luxurious and the scent was nice. It has that classic sunscreen scent that I like. The texture felt light but a bit oily. Unfortunately, the result of this was not just glow, hydration, and sun protection, but it clogged my skin and I got some bigger pimples, which I usually don't get. My skin type is dry on the surface with a more oily T-zone. I have slightly larger pores, so something in combination with my skin unfortunately didn't work. Otherwise, the day cream has very nice ingredients and I will continue to use it on my neck and décolleté since that part of my skin usually can tolerate slightly oilier products. #lykotestpilot #emmas1 product in post Unfortunately it didn't suit my skin3 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Very nice essence
I have had the chance to try this essence for a few weeks and am impressed with the product. When it comes to toners and essences, I love those that are a bit thicker in consistency, and this is one of them. I like to apply it directly on the skin and not with a cotton pad because I feel the product lasts longer and the skin becomes more hydrated. Nice ingredients like hyaluronic acid and plum extract. I guess the latter also contributes to the scent. I usually avoid skincare with perfume and fragrance, but I liked this one anyway. I have a combination skin type. A bit dry on the surface and oilier T-zone. With this, I felt hydrated without the skin feeling greasy as the essence absorbed and left a hydrated and plumped feeling. #lykotestpilot #emmas1 product in post Very nice essence5 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

LOVE
have tested this INCREDIBLE essence for a few weeks! Don’t even know where to start but I love this. Regular ones are usually incredibly runny and it feels like most of it runs out of the hand BUT emma S has thought this through! This one has a thicker consistency which makes it incredibly easy to work with and moisturizes like a dream! Quick about my skin gets easily red dry Approaching 40 so small lines Some areas incredibly dry The bottle itself is okay, but it’s the content you want! And it gives such an incredible boost to the skin and you can see it! Worth the price? Absolutely buy, you won’t regret it! Would I buy it again? Already ordered! It was fantastic So how many stars!?🌞 5 out of 5 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞 #lykotestpilot #emmas1 product in post LOVE15 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 4 hoursRating: 4 out of 5
But yes
I've tested it for a few weeks, first impression a pleasant and gentle cleansing, doesn't give that dry feeling you can get from other cleansing products. A bit about my skin. • gets easily red • or • Approaching 40 so fine lines • Some areas incredibly dry It removes makeup well, maybe not a wow effect, but afterwards you get the wow feeling as the skin feels so soft and moisturized. If you look at the packaging you can see that it’s from me and sleek! It also has some nice ingredients like cucumber extract, panthenol, and mild surfactant technology. Would I buy it again? Honestly, I’m not quite sure yet! But maybe since it’s so incredibly gentle on the skin. How many suns?! 🌞 Gives 4 out of 5 suns! 🌞🌞🌞🌞 #lykotestpilot #emmas1 product in post But yes11 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 7 hoursRating: 4 out of 5
First shower oil experience
The first time I smelled the product, I was surprised. The scent is very different from what I'm used to, but still really good. I have quite dry skin, so I was excited when I got the shower oil from #lykotestpilot. When you take the "oil," the texture feels a bit strange at first, but it does foam well. However, I think a normal shower gel spreads a bit better and is therefore more economical. I've been using it for about two weeks now, and my skin feels a bit softer and more moisturized. The scent also lingers on the skin for a while after the shower and works well with other products in the series, so the scents can easily be layered. #rituals1 product in post First shower oil experience2 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Awesome!
A new favorite in the bathroom cabinet! I've been testing the Revitalising Day Cream (formerly Ageless Day Cream) for a while now and I am really super satisfied. The cream delivers exactly what it promises – it feels luxurious, moisturizing, and gives the skin a nice bounce. Here’s why I like it: • Versatile: Even though it’s a day cream with SPF 20, I have used it both morning and evening since I got it, which has worked great for my skin. • Results: The skin feels fresher and gets a more even tone. • Scent & Texture: It has a very fresh and mild scent that doesn’t overpower. In short: a fantastic product that I absolutely recommend to anyone who wants to combat the first signs of aging. It has become a natural part of my daily routine! It gets full marks because there’s nothing I missed about it! #lykotestpilot #emmas1 product in post Awesome!8 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 13 hoursRating: 4 out of 5
Good day cream with SPF20
I got the chance to try this face cream with SPF 20 and I was quite impressed. I am 39, almost forty, and I already have some fine lines. So I like to use products that have some form of sun protection factor in their composition, and of course I also use sunscreen. I thought this cream moisturizes the skin and gives a nice glow. The only problem for me, if not a big one, is that it takes a little time to absorb into the skin. But I really liked the product and I use it in the morning as part of my skincare routine, and it’s perfect before I apply makeup. It’s a good product that leaves the skin moisturized and protected. I recommend it. #lykoreview #lykotestpilot #emmas #dagcream1 product in post Good day cream with SPF2061 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Too greasy and my skin didn’t absorb it at all
🙋♀️ I have very sensitive, dry to combination skin that is extremely allergy prone. I also have some fine lines around my eyes and sun spots on my cheek bones. I’m 40 years old. 📦 The packaging This cream comes in a pump bottle. I like this since it’s a nice way to keep your creams sterile. And with this I know exactly how many pumps of cream I need for my whole face and neck. 👀 The texture and looks The cream is white in color. It is thick and greasy in consistency. It’s very easy to spread it. 👃 The smell The cream has a mild smell. I don’t know what it is but it’s not unpleasant to me. The smell is not too powerful but it does linger on the skin. 🤔 My opinion From all the products sent to me to try from Emma S this one I liked the least. The cream is incredibly greasy for me and I think it’s because of the spf. Now, my skin doesn’t work well with very greasy products. It just sits on my skin for hours (or in this case, until I removed the product) and it was not absorbed. Resulting in me looking oily, sweaty and my hair gluing itself onto my face/neck. I also cannot put on any makeup since it either piles or melts. Basically, my face felt very tacky while having this cream on. How greasy did it make my face? Look at the picture and you can see that I can easily stick toilet paper on my face and it can stay there (also you can see that my face is super shiny from the cream and it stays like that for very long time)... 😮💨 The other problem was that it has only SPF20, which is not enough. So I needed to add another SPF on top of that. And that was a nightmare for my skin. I usually don’t like to use creams that have so low spf because it’s not enough of a protection from the sun. All in all, not a product for me. I honestly don’t think it’s the cream’s "fault". I just don’t think this type of product fits my skin personally. I also didn’t wanna use it (because of all the things listed above) so I couldn’t see any anti-aging benefits from it. Unfortunately, I will not be getting this product again. #lykotestpilot #emmas1 product in post Too greasy and my skin didn’t absorb it at all9 views - The post was made 14 hoursRating: 3 out of 5
I hate the smell
🙋♀️ I have very sensitive, dry to combination skin that is extremely allergy prone. I also have some fine lines around my eyes and sun spots on my cheek bones. I'm 40 years old. 📦 The packaging This essence comes in a standard packaging for this type of product. It is easy to get this product out onto a pad or your hands from the bottle. 👀 The texture and looks The essence is very watery/liquidy. It is transparent in color and very easy to spread all over your skin. 👃 The smell There's an extremely powerful smell to this product. It smells like soap to me. The smell is super strong and it will linger on your skin. 🤔 My opinion I have very dry skin so usually anything that gives it moisture is great for me. This product felt hydrating on my skin. It got absorbed by my skin super fast (in matter of seconds!), which is a big bonus in my opinion, and it didn't leave my skin feeling heavy, greasy or sticky. When it got absorbed you couldn't see it or see any difference on the skin. But honestly, I will probably not get this product again. The smell is extremely strong for me and I really don't like it. And besides the mild hydration, I didn't notice anything else. If the smell was different I could consider it as a nice extra step to get more hydrating skin but because of the smell, I just don't wanna use it. #lykotestpilot #emmas1 product in post I hate the smell28 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Moisturizing and glow ✨✨
I have been using this product for about a month, and I can say it has become my favorite. It has a slightly thick consistency, which I really like. It has a mild scent, which is perfect for me, but the best part is the glow it leaves on the skin. My skin has been a bit dry lately, so this product was perfect to test if the moisturizing really works, and I can say it does. I felt that my skin was soft and super moisturized with a natural glow, just the way I love it. Jag är 39 år gammal, så jag gillar produkter som innehåller hyaluronsyra i en form som återfuktar min hud på djupet. I use it in my skincare routine both morning and night. I like to use it before makeup; it keeps my skin moisturized and ready to receive other products. It is a good and high-quality product that can be used on all skin types. #lykoreview #lykotestpilot #emmas #skinglow1 product in post Moisturizing and glow ✨✨133 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Excellent gel cleanser
🙋♀️ I have very sensitive, dry to combination skin that is extremely allergy prone. I also have some fine lines around my eyes and sun spots on my cheek bones. 📦 The packaging This gel cleanser comes in a white tube. It has a twist off cap. It's very easy to get the product out from the packaging. 👀 The texture and looks The gel cleanser is well, in gel form. It's quite solid in consistency. The texture is very lightweight. It's transparent and it mildly soaps up when mixed with hands and later with water. 👃 The smell It has barely noticeable smell to it, but I cannot determine what it is. It's not unpleasant and it doesn't linger on the skin. 🤔 My opinion As you can see on the pictures I did a basic cleaning test on my arm. Even though it says it's a gentle cleanser it cleaned almost all of the makeup I put on my arm. The only thing that was left was lip liner from fenty beauty and a bit of creamy blush. Everything else was removed. Which is very impressive for a gentle cleanser! I did mostly use it as a 2nd cleanser or my only cleanser in the mornings or evenings when I didn't wear makeup. It worked perfectly! I felt that it cleansed my skin completely. It didn't cause any dryness or tightness after use so that's a huge plus. In summary, this is a great gel cleanser. I was nicely surprised of how powerful it is and still so gentle on my skin. I can definitely recommend this cleanser even as an only option if you're not wearing heavy makeup. #lykotestpilot #emmas1 product in post Excellent gel cleanser17 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

At first when I saw it, I thought it would smell just okay and not stand out, but it smells absolutely INCREDIBLE!

Great for dry skin 🫶🏻
I have very dry and very sensitive skin, so for me it’s super important to be moisturized and to feel moisturized for a long time. I’m happy that this gives me exactly that and soothes the skin, despite a lot of fragrance! I find their foaming shower gel can instead irritate afterwards, so I’m glad this variant exists. The product is intended for dry skin, and I think it lives up to that! I’ve tried other shower oils that I actually think are better than this one. They foam more and give a feeling of washing clean, but still keep the oil formula. This one has a more oily feel and leaves a bit of a film on the skin that can make you feel like you’re not quite clean. Despite that, as I said, it fulfills being a very moisturizing product. So all in all, I still like it, but there is room for improvement 💛 Nice packaging. The Mehr fragrance series at Rituals is really my favorite, and I think it’s fairly represented here #lykotestpilot #rituals1 product in post Great for dry skin 🫶🏻6 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Nice addition if you have your favorite scent
Always exciting to try a product I haven't tested before! Hair & body mist from beloved Rituals, a brand that truly breathes calm. Mehr is a top favorite of mine among their scents, so I was looking forward to seeing how it turned out in this form. I think it fits best for days when you take the time to take care of yourself, like a home spa or an everything shower. (Perfect that they have the scent in many products for such occasions if you've found a favorite). The spray nozzle is light, and so is the product itself. I've tested it both on skin and in hair, and since it's a mist, it mostly gives scent and a hint of fragrance a while after application. If you're heading out or getting ready for the day or a night out, I prefer other perfumes that give something other than a spa feeling. It gets 4/5 from me since I prefer to buy other products from Rituals over this one as it somewhat loses its purpose and blends into the crowd. However, I recommend it if you want to smell your Rituals scent as much as possible! Then I think it's great 💛 #lykotestpilot #rituals1 product in post Nice addition if you have your favorite scent4 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 1 dayRating: 5 out of 5
Positively surprised!!
Mehr is truly my favorite scent at Rituals and the scent comes through without having changed. I have very, very dry skin and it feels soothing and nice to put on the hand cream. The formula is rich but quickly absorbs into the skin and gives soft hands. The packaging feels sturdy and luxurious, but not unnecessarily complicated, which feels good because then you know you’re paying for the content and not just the packaging. Good size and nice to carry with you. This is the first time I’m trying hand cream from Rituals and I’m so positively surprised! Will definitely buy again. 💛 #lykotestpilot #rituals1 product in post Positively surprised!!6 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 1 dayRating: 4 out of 5
Moisturizing & smells good 🍊✨
The Rituals of Mehr Recovery Hand Balm 70ml As a Lyko test pilot, I got to try the Rituals recovery hand balm in the Mehr scent. I think the scent is absolutely amazing! The scent leans more towards orange compared to their shower oil, which smelled more like cedarwood. I like this as it complements their other products in the series well! The hand balm is quite thick in consistency, which I think is good as it feels nourishing. The texture after applying the hand balm is a silky feeling. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of that, but the scent makes up for it! In summary, I would definitely buy this for the wonderful scent and it gives a moisturizing feeling. 🍊 #lykotestpilot #rituals1 product in post Moisturizing & smells good 🍊✨58 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Nice scent but doesn’t last long🍊
The Rituals of Mehr Hair & Body Mist 50ml I had the honor to try Rituals body & hair mist in the scent Mehr. It smells fresh and summery with notes of orange and cedarwood. Perfect for everyday occasions! Unfortunately, the scent doesn’t last very long on the skin, in the hair, or on fabrics. But it’s good if you want to smell nice for a short time or need to freshen up! The bottle is made of glass, which gives a luxurious feel and is also a nice detail in the bathroom. The price is reasonable for the brand and the feeling of luxury! In summary, I could consider buying the product again. Smells good, is a nice decorative detail, and a great brand. #lykotestpilot #rituals1 product in post Nice scent but doesn’t last long🍊50 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Everyday Luxury✨
The Rituals of Mehr Shower Oil 200ml I have now tried the Rituals shower oil in the scent Mehr. Incredible summer scent in my opinion! The scent is supposed to smell of orange and cedarwood. I mostly notice the scent of cedarwood, but their other products in the series smell more like orange. The scent stays on the skin after showering and leaves a moisturized feeling. The consistency is thin and lathers easily. It is also very easy to rinse off. I have normal skin and think it moisturizes well, but I believe it suits you even better if you have dry skin. The only downside is that you need a lot of product in the shower, it’s not very economical. But overall, I would buy it again because it’s a nice scent, moisturizing, and adds an extra luxury to everyday life!✨ #lykotestpilot #rituals1 product in post Everyday Luxury✨54 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Multipurpose fragrance spray does not meet expectations
The glass bottle is beautiful and the spray is finely misted. The sweet citrus scent doesn’t really develop or live on the skin before it disappears. It lingers a bit longer on hair and textiles, which is why this composition might be better suited as a mood-setting room fragrance. Rituals could launch a fabric softener or textile spray with the Mehr series scent, as they have done with some of their other lines. I would compare this scent’s strength and longevity to TBS body sprays, and compared to that, the price of €25/50 ml seems too high to me. Since the slim bottle is easy to carry around and can be reapplied throughout the day, this could be a nice product for Mehr series fans to layer their favorite scent. However, I will personally invest in a different product going forward. #lykotestpilot #rituals1 product in post Multipurpose fragrance spray does not meet expectations35 views
