Can you wear face sunscreen under this?
How does it work to have other products (face sunscreen) underneath this? (I know this has some SPF in it, but I have very sun-sensitive skin and always need sunscreen on my face) I usually always have sunscreen on my face (either Eucerin Oil Control Sun Gel Cream 50spf or Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice Probiotics 50spf), and I wonder if this can be layered on top? Or will it end up sliding around / settling into creases / pilling, or will everything roll up into small beads/balls (i.e. “pilling”) when you put this on top?1 product in post Can you wear face sunscreen under this?115 views- The user's roll: Farmaceut på Lyko. The comment was made 2 weeksHey Jozey😊 Thanks for your question✨ Yes, you can absolutely apply this foundation over sunscreen – e.g. Eucerin or Beauty of Joseon – but make sure the sunscreen has completely dried before you apply the base. Feel free to wait a few minutes, otherwise the products can clash and cause it to slide or "roll" (pilling). Thin layers and letting each step sink in usually yield the best results! It's also good to keep in mind that the products should ideally have the same type of base, for example, both water-based or both silicone-based, so they can work together smoothly. If the bases differ too much, there is an increased risk that it won't adhere as it should or that small beads form on the skin. Since the foundation has a water + silicone base and your sunscreens (Eucerin Oil Control and Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun) also contain water + silicone / ester / emollients, there are good chances that they can work together relatively smoothly. Their bases are not completely incompatible, which reduces the risk of the products cutting into each other or rolling. So with the right combination and a little patience between the steps, it usually works really well!🤞🏻 Wishing you a super nice day🌞🍂1 likes

The comment was made 2 weeksHey Jozey😊 Yes — they seem to have compatible bases (water + silicone). This makes the risk of the products "melting together" or not cooperating lower than if one product was completely oil-based and the other silicone-based. But to achieve the smoothest combination possible, you should: -Let the sunscreen dry completely before applying foundation. -Use thin layers. Make sure each step "sets" before the next layer. Hope the answer can be helpful✨

Does this work with sunscreen underneath?

The comment was made 2 weeksHey again Jozey😊 Since this foundation also uses silicone and water as part of its formula, there’s a good chance it can "mix well" with your mentioned sunscreens (Eucerin Oil Control Sun Gel Cream and Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun), as they also contain water + silicone/ester-like ingredients. Feel free to check out my previous responses to your other comments ✨

Holy grail - have used this for 12 years
For many years, I imported this essence directly from South Korea, because it is the best there is - without ever causing pimples, irritating, or feeling sticky afterwards. My skin was always extremely problematic before I started using this (extremely dry and very pimply and easily irritated and rosacea-red and tight and painful), and I really remember what a miracle it felt like when I started using this for the first time - for the first time in my life, my skin stopped screaming. I didn't even know that I had been in constant pain in my skin for basically my whole life, before I started using this and the pain suddenly disappeared. It really calms all irritation, and can be used even if you have active pimples on your face - they don't get worse at all, but rather it's like the rest of the skin gets a boost. So I really hope this never stops being made. Holy grail. So nice to be able to buy it in the US (and at a reasonable price!) instead of having to import it myself. There is simply a very good reason why I easily give this 5 out of 5 stars - I already knew in 2013 that this was a miracle in a bottle for us with problematic skin, and I have used it pretty much every day for the last 12 years. If I had saved all the empty bottles I’ve gone through by now, I would probably have 30-40 of them, and that says it all 😉 (I hope Lyko starts selling CosRX’s galactomyces tone-balancing essence too - it’s amazing for making those horrible dark purple scars from cystic acne disappear completely, as if they never existed to begin with! All the stubborn marks from pimples that linger heal faster, and the skin becomes smooth and nice. Lyko, make sure to get it! 🥰)1 product in post Holy grail - have used this for 12 years1980 views - The post was made 4 monthsRating: 5 out of 5
Super good as the last step in night skincare routine
+ The packaging may not look so motivating, but the cream inside is incredible when it comes to moisturizing and calming, could easily be sold in a fifth of such large jars for the same price or more! + I checked the ingredients before I bought (they are well-selected ingredients that do not cause pimples (i.e. non-comedogenic) or irritate), and now that I have almost finished the whole jar, I can say that it is completely true! 😃 + If you have skincare in several steps (cleansing, toner, serum, essence, etc.), this one works super well as the last step in the evening, because it "capsules in" the moisture that the other products contribute and keeps it in the skin (i.e. the cream is not just a moisturizer/moisturizing but also an occlusive/moisture encapsulator) 😊 - The fact that it encapsulates moisture so effectively also makes the skin look a bit shiny afterwards, because the cream does not "disappear" into the skin as it is made to prevent the skin surface from drying out. So for me, it is more of an evening cream than a morning cream, because I like a matte finish during the day. (But, I always have another face cream with sunscreen during the day, so it comes naturally that I only use this in the evening 😉)1 product in post Super good as the last step in night skincare routine128 views
