Good
I have been so lucky to test 3 products from Redken's Acidic Bonding Concentrate series over a 3-week period. I have used this series before, with shampoo and conditioner, as well as the leave-in cream. This was shortly after it came to the US market, so nice to have a refresh! A little about my hair: - Nordic, fine hair strands but a lot of hair. - long and naturally wavy - slightly damaged ends and wear due to bleaching (highlights) - little volume on top without help from styling products I have used the product about every other evening, after using shampoo from the same product series. The product is a bit slow to come out of the bottle, as it has a thicker consistency. Smells similar to the shampoo, citrus/acidy. I recommend leaving it in the hair for at least 3 minutes, preferably longer. The hair is soft and clean after use, and easy to handle with styling tools. I like the conditioner better than the shampoo, as it provides decent moisture to my ends. However, I think many with hair like mine want more moisture for the ends, so I recommend using a styling cream or oil after washing. Thanks to Lyko for letting me test products from Redken again! 🥰 #LYKOINFLUTESTER #REDKEN1 product in post Good343 views - The post was made 1 monthRating: 4 out of 5verified customer
Great mask!
I have been so lucky to test 3 products from Redken's Acidic Bonding Concentrate line over a 3-week period. I have used this line before, back with the shampoo and conditioner, as well as the leave-in cream. This was shortly after it hit the US market, so nice to have a refresh! A bit about my hair: - Nordic, fine hair strands but a lot of hair. - long and naturally wavy - slightly damaged ends and wear due to bleaching (highlights) - little volume on top without help from styling products I actually have this mask standing in the shower permanently, it’s quick and easy to use, and effective. It comes in a practical squeeze tube, where you have to use a bit of force to get enough product out. Same scent as the rest of the line, though a bit milder. The product is creamy and easy to distribute in the hair, leaving it more manageable and soft. I recommend leaving it in the hair as long as possible, I think I get even better results that way. This is my favorite product from the line! I believe it will suit most hair types, unsure about those who are sensitive as I know some have reacted to the line. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #REDKEN1 product in post Great mask!390 views - The post was made 1 monthRating: 3 out of 5verified customer
Totally okay
I have been so lucky to test 3 products from Redken's Acidic Bonding Concentrate line over a 3-week period. I have used this line before, back with shampoo and conditioner, as well as the leave-in cream. This was shortly after it hit the US market, so nice to have a refresh! A bit about my hair: - Nordic, fine hair strands but a lot of hair. - long and naturally wavy - slightly damaged ends and wear due to bleaching (highlights) - little volume on top without the help of styling products I have used the product about every other day during this period, with two rounds of shampoo each wash. The shampoo has a slight citrus scent, but not unpleasant. I find that it lathers well in the hair, and that it feels clean after washing. However, I do feel that my hair gets "greasy" faster between washes with this line, which is not surprising since there is a lot of intense moisture in the product. The product line is supposed to make the hair stronger, provide more moisture, and strengthen the hair, and whether it does that in the long run, I am unsure, as I think one must test the product over a longer period to see results. However, I feel that where the hair has no damage, it is shinier and looks healthier, but that the damaged ends need more care with this line to not become very dry. It’s not my favorite shampoo, but it’s not bad either. A middle-of-the-road shampoo that I will use up, but I will use it together with another shampoo I have. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #REDKEN1 product in post Totally okay304 views - The post was made 5 monthsRating: 5 out of 5Verifierad testare
New favorite!
I have been so lucky to test out the new self-tanning spray from Rebecca Stella, Coco Daze Tan Mist. I am an experienced self-tanner user and have tried a lot of different products in this category since 2012. Mostly, I have used mousse, but when I needed just a refresh or a quick glow. I have previously liked the spray from James Read and have used it for many years. The product comes in a practical bottle with a spray function. I was afraid it would result in an uneven finish since I wasn't sure if I covered all areas. I always find it a bit scary with new self-tanners because if the result is bad, it's not just easy to wash it off.. But I have been so positively surprised by this product that it has become a new favorite on my shelf that I use several times a week. After I became a mother, I have become more dependent on products being quick to use, effective, and reliable. This product delivers everything it promises and lasts nicely on the skin. I have used it mostly on my face, neck, and chest. You get a very nice glow while the product works, and when you wash it off, you have a nice sun-kissed color. The product smells better than most self-tanners, and the price is also nice. Recommended for anyone wanting glow and color, simple as that. 👌🌼 #lykoinflutester #rebeccastella1 product in post New favorite!1375 views - The post was made 5 monthsRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
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 #SAWE1 product in post Versatile cream573 views - The post was made 5 monthsRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
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 #SAWE1 product in post Good serum for combo/normal skin type512 views - The post was made 5 monthsRating: 4 out of 5
Good moisture!

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 #SAWE1 product in post Good moisture!1327 views - The post was made 7 monthsRating: 2 out of 5Verifierad testare
Too little moisture
I have been allowed to test some of the products from Izel Beauty for a month. A new and exciting brand, formed by the two influencers Iza and Elle. The vision behind the product line is that they want everyone to have the opportunity to achieve their dream hair, and that the hair should be fresh, flawless and shiny. My hair: - long and has Nordic structure. - medium blonde with lighter streaks, i.e. color-treated - heat-treated often - occasionally split ends between haircuts - tangles more easily in winter The conditioner promises to be intensely nourishing, provide nourishment, strengthen and protect the hair from wear, and make it silky soft and manageable. The product has a nice and friendly price. Smells the same as the rest of the product line, sweet/floral. Has a lilac tone in color, and a light creamy texture. It distributes nicely in the hair, and the hair feels light after use. Unfortunately, the product provides too little moisture and care for my hair, which makes me prefer my other conditioners. Over time, I felt that my hair became a bit drier than it usually is, and I had to compensate with a lot of oil in the hair ends. If you have normal hair and want a light and clean feeling in your hair, you will like this product line. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #Izelbeauty1 product in post Too little moisture255 views - The post was made 7 monthsRating: 3 out of 5Verifierad testare
Pretty decent shampoo
I’ve been allowed to test some of the products from Izel Beauty for about a month. A new and exciting brand, created by the two influencers Iza and Elle. The vision behind the product line is that they want everyone to have the opportunity to achieve their dream hair, and that the hair should be fresh, flawless and shiny. My hair: - long and has Nordic texture. - medium blonde with lighter streaks i.e. color-treated - heat-treated often - occasionally split ends between haircuts - tangles more easily in winter This shampoo promises a lot. It’s supposed to repair and protect the hair, make it soft and more resistant to split ends. It should also protect the hair from heat, daily wear and tear, and color fade, while providing improved hair quality, easier styling, and faster drying. I think those are hefty claims for a shampoo, but I like to test products and went in with an open mind. I think the shampoo lathers well, and my hair feels clean and light after use. Unfortunately, I didn’t experience that my hair became more resistant to split ends or that I got improved hair quality. Now I’ve only tried the product 3 times a week for a month, so maybe you notice greater results with longer use. I believe this is a nice shampoo for those who have fairly normal hair and want a shampoo that cleans the hair well and gives a light feeling. The price is nice, and you have the product for a long time. My hair depends on more care, so it didn’t suit me that well. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #Izelbeauty1 product in post Pretty decent shampoo226 views - The post was made 7 monthsRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
Budget-friendly

My hair: - long and has Nordic texture. - medium blonde with lighter streaks i.e. color-treated - heat-treated often - occasionally split ends between haircuts - tangles more easily in winter The product promises to protect up to 220 degrees, provide light hold without weighing down, nourish the hair and protect it from damage, and make it soft. It comes in a practical spray bottle, which dispenses the product nicely and evenly in the hair. The scent is lightly floral/sweet, be aware if you are sensitive to fragrance. I really liked this heat protection spray, and feel it delivers what it promises. Whether it nourishes my hair, I’m not sure, but it provides light hold without weighing it down, and my hair feels soft and light after use. I think many will like this, you get heat protection and soft hold at a good price. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #Izelbeauty1 product in post Budget-friendly156 views
