Short-lived effect
I was so lucky to test out 3 different products from Mario Badescu through Lyko's Influtester program, this was 1 of them. This lip mask is soft and lovely to apply, and the scent (acai and vanilla) is sweet and pleasant – but not overwhelming. It feels nourishing in the moment, and gives a nice shine, but the long-lasting effect is not as impressive. What I liked: • The cream melts easily into the lips and feels luxurious right away. • Smells good and feels comforting to use, especially as an evening ritual. • Lips feel instantly smooth and soft. What brought it down: • The effect is short-lived – lips often feel dry again the next morning. • A bit unhygienic with jar format, especially if you apply with your fingers. • Not the best for cracks or very sore lips – more maintenance than repair. In summary: It works well as a "cozy mask" for the lips and feels good after application, but if you struggle with flaky or cracked lips, you'll need something stronger. Good, but not essential. #mariobadescu #lykoreview #lykoinflutesterTranslated from norwegian

Decent support player, but doesn't perform miracles alone
I was lucky enough to test out 3 different products from Mario Badescu through Lyko's Influtester program, this was 1 of them. This spray is marketed as soothing and repairing – and it delivers partially. Hypochlorous acid is known for its antimicrobial properties and is supposed to calm irritation and support the skin's natural healing process. I used it both morning and night, and as needed after workouts. What I liked: • Light and refreshing mist that doesn't feel sticky on the skin. • Nice to use after extraction or with small breakouts – it can reduce redness and itch a bit. • Convenient to use as a quick “refresh” throughout the day without ruining makeup. What brought it down: • For my skin (not sensitive, but with some blemishes), I didn't notice a dramatic difference. • The spray head gives uneven distribution – sudden large sprays instead of a fine mist. • Provides no moisture on its own, so you need to follow up with serum or cream. In summary: A perfectly fine product for those who want something mild and balancing in their routine, especially for small breakouts or after shaving/exercise. But don't expect miracles – it's more of a support player than a main act in the skincare routine. #mariobadescu #lykoreview #lykoinflutesterTranslated from norwegian

Loves more than it gives
Was so lucky to test out 3 different products from Mario Badescu through Lyko's Influtester program, this was 1 of them. This toner feels more like a hybrid product – a kind of combination of toner and light serum. It has a milky white consistency, and even though it’s called “hydrating,” it actually feels quite light on the skin. It contains PHA, which exfoliates gently without irritating, and jojoba oil that provides a light moisture boost. What I liked: • It absorbs quickly into the skin and leaves a light glow without making the skin shiny. • PHA is a safe exfoliant for those struggling with a bit of blemished skin without having sensitive skin – it doesn’t clog pores and gives a gradually more even skin tone. • Mild enough for daily use, without the skin feeling tight or irritated. What brought it down: • It does little for visible blemishes – nothing noticeable on pores, red spots, or skin texture over time. • Also doesn’t provide enough “plump” feeling to feel like a proper moisturizing toner. • The design promises more glow than it actually gives – especially if you’re not already struggling with dull skin. In summary: A nice toner for balancing the skin and adding some light care. Not a miracle product, but it works fine as a step in a routine for combination or normal skin with a bit of tendency to blemishes. #lykoinflutester #mariobadescu #lykoreviewTranslated from norwegian

It sounds like you really paid attention to how the product behaves on your skin, and we think it’s especially nice that you mention both what you like and what could be better. We completely agree that PHA can be a nice alternative for a gentler exfoliation, but that the results often come gradually and vary a bit from skin to skin. We hope you’ve found a place for the toner in your routine – or that you might continue testing and find something that hits just right for your skin! ✨💦1 likes

Very good lip mask🤩
I don't always find it easy to find good lip products that provide good moisture. My lips get dry quickly and I've tried many different products, and I think this is one of the better ones I've tried. It lasts a long time and doesn't need to be applied many times. I often use this in the evening and apply a good layer. Then I feel like it lasts a long time and my lips stay moist for a long time. I really recommend it!💜 #LYKOINFLUTESTER #MARIOBADESCUTranslated from norwegian

Good and gentle
My first impression of this toner was that it gave a nice glow to the skin. I felt that it made my skin feel clean and hydrated while also giving it that nice glow. 💛 I only prefer to use this after cleansing by using a cotton pad and gently swiping it over my face. Then I also feel like I get a little extra cleansing for my skin. I have sensitive and acne-prone skin but did not react to this at all! 🤩 Highly recommended! #LYKOINFLUTESTER #MARIOBADESCUTranslated from norwegian

Pretty okay…
I have now tested this spray a bit and don’t feel like it does that much..🙈 I have: -sensitive skin -combination skin -dry areas on my skin -easily break out It says that this should help with redness, breakouts, and inflammation. I feel like it helps a little but not that much. I thought it made my skin a little less red and had a cooling and soothing effect on my skin right away, but nothing that lasted. So I’m not really sure what I think about it, but it helps a little, just nothing very special.💚 #LYKOINFLUTESTER #MARIOBADESCUTranslated from norwegian

Really like!
I have been able to test some skincare products from the brand #MARIOBADESCU as a #lykoinflutester for a while now 🤩 This is a new brand for me, so super fun to try! Since skincare often takes quite a long time to see a final result, these reviews are more focused on first impressions and similar. This review is on their lip mask! I personally am not a super fan of makeup products for lips in general, but it is a must to have something moisturizing! My first impression of this was the scent as soon as I opened it, it smells gaaaalet good, I would have definitely bought it as a perfume if it existed! 🥰 Overall, I really like this! It is very moisturizing without being too sticky, and it really sinks into the skin and gives a moisturized feeling! Plus, it has a nice shine, so it can definitely be used instead of a lip gloss 🫶🏼Translated from swedish

Gives a nice glow!
I have been a #lykoinflutester for a while and got to test some skincare products from the brand #MARIOBADESCU 🤩 This is a new brand for me, so it's super fun to try! Since skincare often takes quite a long time to see an end result, these reviews are more focused on first impressions and similar. This review is on their hydrating glow toner! My first impression of this was the consistency, personally I have never used a toner with such a thick consistency as this, but I like it, feels almost more like a serum. I have pretty dry skin that requires a lot of moisture, so it fits well to start pumping in moisture already in the first step of the routine! This gives a very hydrated feeling and a very nice glow without looking oily! In summary, I really like this and will definitely continue to use it! 🫶🏼Translated from swedish

Gentle exfoliation every day🤩
This toner has become a nice addition to my skincare routine✨ Since I have normal skin, but with some milia on my cheekbones, I look for products that provide gentle exfoliation without being too strong – and this delivers just that 💆🏼♀️ PHA provides a gentle yet effective exfoliation, and my skin feels hydrated and balanced after use💧 The consistency is a bit thicker than other toners I’ve tried, but it absorbs nicely. It has a mild scent, but nothing that feels overwhelming🍃 I like to use it as the next step after cleansing to remove any remaining dirt, but it obviously can’t replace a thorough cleanse🫧 A big bonus is that it’s economical in use and has a reasonable price considering how much product you get🤍 Absolutely a toner I will continue with! #lykoinflutester #mariobadescuTranslated from norwegian

Freshness in a spray!🙌🏻
I have been testing Mario Badescu Facial Repair with hypochlorous acid for a while now, and even though I don't have specific skin issues like acne or eczema, I have found it pleasant to use ✨ The spray is light, absorbs quickly, and leaves no sticky feeling 💦 It is also completely fragrance-free, which I appreciate for daily use 🤍 What I like most is how refreshing it feels – especially after a workout 🧘🏼♀️. It gives an immediate feeling of freshness and light moisture, even though I haven't noticed any major changes in my skin 🌿 I have also tested it over makeup, and it works fine without disturbing the look 💫 The bottle is compact and convenient, perfect to carry in my bag 👜 🤍All in all, this is a nice facial spray for anyone looking for something light, soothing, and versatile! #lykoinflutester #mariobadescuTranslated from norwegian

God, but not a must-have🤷🏼♀️
I've been testing this night lip mask for a while now, and even though I like it, I'm not completely sold💭 The texture is thick and reminds me of a more luxurious version of petroleum jelly💋 It sits like a protective layer on the lips throughout the night, but I didn't get the intense moisture boost I was hoping for💧 What I really love is the scent – a lovely vanilla aroma that makes the application a little self-care experience🍦 When it comes to price, I think it might be a bit high compared to the results💰 It's good, but not a must-have in my routine. If you love vanilla scent and a thicker lip mask, it might be worth trying, but if you're looking for intense moisture, there are cheaper alternatives🤍 #lykoinflutester #mariobadescuTranslated from norwegian

Totally okay
I have never tried such a product before, and I was very skeptical about it before I started. It says that this should break down bacteria, reduce redness, breakouts, and inflammation while strengthening the skin's barrier. I have a combination skin type where I often experience breakouts in the T-zone. I would say I don't see any difference in my face after trying this for a few weeks. The product has a mild smell of bleach, if I were to describe the scent as best as possible. I would say that the product is economical in use, and you don't need to apply much before you notice that you have applied it all over your face. It is fragrance-free and alcohol-free, which makes it easier for those who may react to it to use the product. I probably won't use this anymore as I don't often feel the need to add more moisture to my skin throughout the day. I wish it came with a description of how to use this. #lykoinflutester #mariobadescuTranslated from norwegian

Surprised at how good this actually was
I’m used to toners often being very watery and liquid, but this had a completely different consistency. You didn’t need much of the product on a cotton pad before you could apply it all over your face. I really liked the scent, it was a mix of peppermint and something else that smells fresh, if I’m trying to explain the scent. I have a combination skin type, where I can often get dry or have breakouts in the T-zone, but after I started using this, more of the impurities in the affected area disappeared. ❤️ Economical in use, needs very little product ❤️ Lovely scent ❤️ Skin feels hydrated and soft after application 😒 Should come with instructions on how to use the toner #influtester #mariobadescuTranslated from norwegian

Pretty decent lip mask
I got to try out this lip mask as a #lykoinflutester. I don't have much experience with lip masks from before, so this will be the first time I try this out. Now in winter, I often have dry lips that crack, so I found that this mask provided moisture to my lips but was a bit too sticky for my taste. ❤️It's soft and easy to apply on the lips, but a bit sticky compared to what I'm used to ❤️Has a vanilla scent ❤️I would say it's quite economical in use, you don't need to apply much at a time 😒A bit too sticky for my taste when it comes to lip balms 😒 It would have been nice to have instructions on how to apply the mask, day mask or night mask #lykoinflutester #mariobadescuTranslated from norwegian

Got worse skin
I got to test this product from #MARIOBADESCU as a #LYKOINFLUTESTER. My skin is combination and has periods where it easily gets blemishes. I had a baby in January and since the pregnancy, I've felt that my skin has had more blemishes, so I was excited to try some new skincare products. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. Instead of better skin, I experienced more pimples and blemishes. I thought it felt good to wear, but I noticed no improvement, rather that my skin got worse. I used the spray in combination with their REPAIRING FACIAL Spray With Hypochlorous Acid every evening. I appreciated that it was fragrance-free and it came in a nice sleek packaging.Translated from swedish

Very good!
I got to test this product from #MARIOBADESCU as a #LYKOINFLUTESTER. I am a bit addicted to lip balm as I always need to have something nearby, especially during the winter months. I usually use a thicker lip balm in the evening before I go to bed. So this was perfect for me to have in the evening. My first reaction was that it smelled SO good, without being too strong. The packaging is nice, and large for a lip product. Very soft and pleasant to wear. My lips feel moisturized in the morning without leaving a film on the lips, which is something I have experienced with other products.Translated from swedish

Make the skin calm and fresh
I have used this product every day for about 4 weeks, and here are my thoughts and opinions. My skin is slightly acne-prone with quite a few red spots/breakouts. I am not sensitive, leaning more towards oily skin and am rarely dry, but it can happen if I have gone too hard with strong products. 32 years old and have tried most things on my face regarding products! I really like this toner! It is thick in consistency, so it is much firmer than a classic toner, which reminds me more of a serum! I prefer this thick consistency much more than a classic toner. It feels much more effective, and above all, no unnecessary product is wasted! I haven't noticed that it has any scent at all; it feels quite "clinically clean"! My skin has really benefited from the product; together with the friend REPAIRING FACIAL Spray With Hypochlorous Acid from the same brand, I see an incredible difference in my skin! It is rare that I see such a quick effect! Additionally, it has used extremely little product; I use it morning and night, and in the picture, you can clearly see how much is left after about 60 uses!! The thing that brings it down from 5 to 4 is that I don't think I get the effect it actually claims to give, to provide a glow. Instead, after 4 weeks, I have gotten a more subdued and nice skin; maybe it will take a few more weeks to see a difference regarding glow! #lykoinflutester #mariobadescuTranslated from swedish

Good product but needs better packaging.
I have used this product every day for about 4 weeks and here are my thoughts and opinions. My skin is slightly acne-prone with quite a few red spots/breakouts. I am not sensitive, leaning more towards oily skin and am rarely dry, but it can happen if I have gone too hard with strong products. 32 years old and have tried most things on my face regarding products! The product itself is really very good, I see a clear difference in my whole face. It is very fresh and has a scent that reminds me of chlorine (this is for the actual ingredients). So generally, I am very satisfied with the formula and the product. I have also tested this in my armpit as I easily get folliculitis there, haven’t noticed as big a difference but haven’t used it as long-term and regularly either. What brings the rating down so much is that the actual spray nozzle is so bad?! It could of course be a bad example, but from the first use, I felt that the spray is very uneven. It’s like it splits into two, so half sprays on my face and the other half on my neck/chest. I have tried to clean it but it hasn’t helped. This in turn makes it use up a lot more product! So in 4 weeks, this whole bottle is empty, which feels a bit too fast! I haven’t wasted either, but tried to get product where I actually need it. I will check if others have experienced the same or not, if so, it could just be a bad batch for me. I would love to continue using this as it has made such a big difference, but I don’t want to have to buy 1 bottle/month! #lykoinflutester #mariobadescuTranslated from swedish

Amazing!!!
I really have only positive things to say about this lip mask, it is unbelievable! This should become the new viral must-have that everyone should own. - It is incredibly soft and smooth on the lips. - It doesn't smudge, so it's easy to apply and stays on so well without smearing or smudging. - The scent is out of this world!! The best scent I've ever had on a lip product! - It will last an eternity, I use this 1-2 times a day and definitely don't skimp, but I'm still only at the surface of the jar! - It does its job and really moisturizes, and it lasts a long time! - Bonus is that it's so lovely to wear even during the day when you want a little extra moisture, it's so glossy and pretty!! I recommend EVERYONE to buy this, it will forever be in my bathroom cabinet 🩷🩷🩷 #lykoinflutester #mariobadescuTranslated from swedish

Love it!
As one of Lyko's Influtesters, I got to try this product and my opinion of this product is 100% my own. ✨ My skin type and age: 35 years. Combination with a bit of rough texture and visible pores, slight redness. My skin tolerates quite a bit and rarely gets irritated by products. Often has quite dry lips. ✨ Packaging: Large jar with a lot of product, perfect to have on the nightstand next to the bed when applying before bedtime. ✨ The product: Smells absolutely amazing and feels really good on the lips. Economical and quickly gets product on the finger without having to "dig". ✨ Result: Applies in the evening before bedtime and wakes up with soft and hydrated lips. My lips have definitely become less dry since I started using the product. Love it! #lykoinflutester #mariobadescuTranslated from swedish

Both ➕ and ➖
For a couple of weeks, I've had the opportunity to test this Hydrating Glow Toner With Jojoba & PHA from Mario Badescu. As I mentioned earlier, I find it genuinely difficult to give an opinion this round, as I would have liked more time 🥺❤️ I have combination skin, and at times acne breakouts. That said, I think so far the product is OK, despite no major changes during this period. ➕long-lasting in use ➖strong scent ➖little glow I wasn't prepared for the consistency, as it is a bit thick. In other words: you get far with a little 🤭❤️ #LYKOINFLUTESTER #MARIOBADESCUTranslated from norwegian

Still unsure.. 💭
For a couple of weeks, I've had the chance to test this REPAIRING FACIAL Spray With Hypochlorous Acid from Mario Badescu. I honestly find it difficult this round to give an opinion on the product since I haven't tested it enough 🥺❤️ I have combination skin, and at times acne breakouts. That said, I think for now the product is OK, despite no major changes. ➕ fragrance-free ➕ alcohol-free ➕ spray top Badescu himself says that the products are supposed to break down bacteria, reduce redness, breakouts, and inflammation while strengthening the skin's barrier. It will be exciting to see if I notice this later 🥹❤️ #LYKOINFLUTESTER #MARIOBADESCUTranslated from norwegian

Lovely toner!
As one of Lyko's Influtesters, I got to try this product and my opinion of this product is 100% my own. ✨ My skin type and age: 35 years. Combination with a bit of rough texture and visible pores, slight redness. My skin tolerates quite a lot and rarely gets irritated by products. ✨ Packaging: I love the packaging with the little pipette to get the product out. So easy to get the amount you actually need. The look of the bottle is simple and nice. ✨ The product: It is very economical and a bit runny in consistency but just right. Easy to apply with a cotton pad but also with hands. Fragrance-free, which is a big plus. ✨ Results: I don't experience any wow effect right away. I think my skin requires something stronger for exfoliation, but I believe the skin tone has become more even and that it has at least gotten a little glow. My small pimples are still there, but I think I need to use the product longer to see a more visible result. But it is really lovely to use both morning and night as it is so mild for me. #lykoinflutester #mariobadescuTranslated from swedish
