Perfect sizes
Makes the lips soft, but needs to be applied quite often. Love that there is a scent, especially cherry! 🍒 Protects the lips with SPF, without giving a sunscreen taste in the mouth. A good choice in terms of price and fun with scent from the lips throughout the day. Nice to have in the bag. What brings it down a bit for me is the consistency, and that they aren't very long-lasting on the lips (often need reapplication). Positives ➕ Has SPF, without giving any bad taste ➕ Easy to apply, and very easy to keep the "tip" clean ➕ Love the size and price Negatives: ➖ A bit too runny for my taste, I probably prefer sick variants as I find these last a bit shorter on the lips before needing reapplication ➖ Didn't like the pineapple scent as much, but that's a matter of taste. #lykoinflutester #carmex1 product in post Perfect sizes161 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 3 out of 5Verifierad testare
Good lip balm with SPF
Provides good moisture and has a slight scent of pomegranate. Tingles a bit on the lips (the brand of Carmex) when you apply it - I'm a fan of that. Easy to apply, doesn't smudge, and has a good mechanism to "twist up more product" that gives good control with a button you can stop at. Not a full score from me as I've experienced that you become a bit dependent on it. As soon as you stop, the lips may feel drier than before you started using it. This could also be because you've gotten used to more moist lips from using it, so I can't say for sure. 💄👄 Positives: ➕ Easy to carry in your pocket and use evenly throughout the day ➕ No color and sweet but faint scent ➕ Provides good moisture, shiny lips (see video)! Negatives: ➖ Feels like you become a bit dependent on it?! #lykoinflutester #carmex1 product in post Good lip balm with SPF357 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 3 out of 5Verifierad testare
Perfect for summer/sun with high SPF
In summer/holiday, I always use lip balm with SPF, and this one has 30 SPF, which is very good. Some lip balms with SPF make my lips feel drier, and they get a bit "sticky" (meaning the lips stick together a bit). This lip balm does not do that, it is soft and moist on the lips. I have dry lips in winter, and this keeps them moist for a long time. But I feel I get drier lips than the baseline when I get used to using it, and I stop using it (which makes you a bit "addicted" to it). I think the lip balm gives a bit of a sunscreen-like taste in the mouth (even though this goes away when it "dries in more"), but therefore not a full score from me. In the video, you can see that the lips are a bit dry, but that the lip balm moisturizes them well. Positives: ➕ Lasts long ➕ Easy to apply, doesn't make a mess ➕ Not too strong scent, lightly smells of tropical fruits Negatives: ➖ You get a bit addicted to using it ➖ A bit of a sunscreen-like taste, but maybe worth it to protect the lips! #lykoinflutester #carmex1 product in post Perfect for summer/sun with high SPF413 views - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 3 out of 5Verifierad testare
Funny concept with gentle peeling effect
This is a dry powder that you mix with water to activate. It is a peeling/exfoliation and should be able to be used daily. I don't think it has enough peeling effect, and it's hard to learn what the right amount of water is. I first tried to do this over the sink, but it got quite messy. The best approach ended up being to have it standing in the shower and mix it in my hands inside the shower after using a cleanser (description of my skincare routine is below). Positives: ➕ Cool concept ➕ Seems economical in use ➕ I like that it can be used daily ➕ Easy to take in luggage, weighs little and no risk of spills in bag etc. ➕ Makes skin soft and "more elastic" Negatives: ➖ A bit difficult to calculate the right amount of powder and the right amount of water ➖ I would have preferred larger grains with more peeling effect (even though it is for daily use, I think the peeling effect could be a bit stronger) ➖ I don't find it so easy to rinse off/remove, and sometimes the grains collect around the eyes/nose edges, which is hard to rinse off Overall, you can tell that this is an innovative and cool product, but I don't feel it has a strong enough effect for my skin. For example, I had some dry skin spots/scabs from pimples that started to disappear. Regular peeling would have scrubbed these away, but this one didn't. I think it's a gentle peeling, so if you like gentle products, this is gold. 🥇 I have also used the following products in the same series: ▪️Daily Skin Health Magnetic Afterglow Cleanser 296 ml Art no: 1093-439-0296 ▪️Neurotouch Symmetry Serum 30 ml Art no: 1093-443-0050 ▪️Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF50 50 ml Art no: 1093-127-0050 Briefly about my skincare routine with the products together: ✨ Evening: Step 1: Cleanser. Step 2: This Daily Microfoliant product. Step 3: Neurotouch serum. ✨ Morning: Applied Skin Recovery cream. PS: In the video, I added a bit more water afterward, but I think it's important to show that you can just "mix" the product in your hands with "wet" hands. 😅 #lykoinflutester #dermalogica1 product in post Funny concept with gentle peeling effect527 views - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
Face cream with proper SPF!
I've missed a face cream that isn't heavy even though it has a lot of SPF. I've tried different ones with high SPF before, but they have been too greasy and not comfortable on the skin (especially not under makeup). I think this one is good! It's one of the best I've had under makeup, but I still think it could absorb even better. It's not the best to have under makeup when I'm going for a full party look, as the foundation doesn't sit as well, but all in all, I'm quite satisfied. I really like the pump and the way the product comes out. The mechanism makes it easy to take the right amount, and not too much. It doesn't have a strong scent, but I think the smell is totally okay (white tea scent). I feel like my skin gets softer with this, and that it becomes more elastic. I think it seems like this component in my skincare routine (described below) has the most effect on softness/that the skin feels more elastic. I don't notice a reduction in fine lines yet, but maybe that will come in time. Positives: ➕ I can tell this is quality ➕ High SPF, while also working under makeup ➕ Economical in use ➕ Good pump function ➕ Makes skin soft and "more elastic" Negatives: ➖ Could absorb even faster, especially regarding having makeup products over All in all, I'm satisfied with this cream. 👏 I've also used the following products in the same series: ▪️Neurotouch Symmetry Serum 30 ml Art no: 1093-443-0050 ▪️Daily Skin Health Magnetic Afterglow Cleanser 296 ml Art no: 1093-439-0296 ▪️Daily Microfoliant 74 g Art no: 1093-324-0075 A brief about my skincare routine with the products: ➡️ Evening: Used the cleanser. Then I used the Daily Microfoliant, and then the Neurotouch serum. ➡️ Morning: Applied two small pumps of this Skin Recovery cream, and massaged it well into my face. PS: I also tested using serum+cream in the evening (and in the morning) as one can also do, but I experienced a bit of clogged pores at the sides of my nose, so I switched to serum in the evening and cream in the morning, and that works very well for me. #lykoinflutester #dermalogica1 product in post Face cream with proper SPF!126 views - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 5 out of 5Verifierad testare
The best cleanser I've ever tested!
This cleanser feels like it works. When you put it on your skin, it feels like something is happening, almost like your skin is being "pulled" towards the product. I don't know how to explain it, but it leaves the skin completely clean and soft. I've tested many facial cleansers, and this is probably the best one I've tested. I don't really like the smell, but I feel like it smells clean. I keep the product in the shower and use it every evening (sometimes also in the morning to feel fresh). It has a good consistency, is easy to apply, and easy to rinse off (in the shower!). I tried using the cleanser over the sink, but I found it difficult to rinse all the product off, so for me, it works best to use this cleanser in the shower, it sticks a little "tight" and needs to be rinsed off while massaging/using your hands to wash it off. I had some impurities before I started testing this cleanser (and several of the products in the same series that I will come back to below). I felt that especially this cleanser helped to remove impurities and make my pores a little smaller on my nose! Positives: ➕ Feels completely "magical" on the skin ➕ Cleans the skin properly, and impurities disappeared within a few days, I also felt that this made my pores a little smaller ➕ You don't need much product to get a good effect ➕ Good pump, and solid design Negatives: ➖ The smell, but that's a matter of taste (smells clean/natural/woodsy, I think) I want to buy this cleanser again when the one I have is empty! Even though it costs a bit, it lasts a long time. I almost forgot to say! It also removes makeup. It's not so good when I have a lot of mascara on, but usually, this works just fine to remove makeup too, so I don't need a makeup remover, I can just use this. I've also used the following products in the same series: 🌟 Neurotouch Symmetry Serum 30 ml Art no: 1093-443-0050 🌟 Daily Microfoliant 74 g Art no: 1093-324-0075 🌟 Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF50 50 ml Art no: 1093-127-0050 Briefly about my skincare routine: 🌃 Evening: First, I moistened my face, applied half a pump of this cleanser, rinsed/massaged the product off (rubbed well around the nose area). Then I used the Daily Microfoliant, and then the Neurotouch serum. 🌄 Morning: Applied Skin Recovery cream. #lykoinflutester #dermalogica1 product in post The best cleanser I've ever tested!143 views - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 3 out of 5Verifierad testare
An exclusive serum with something completely new, namely a massage routine!
This serum gives an exclusive feeling. When you open the packaging, you just go wow! The product comes with a guide for the "massage routine" that should be done together with the product. I have actually never massaged my face before, and I noticed how much tension I have over my eyes, at the eyebrows (brows + forehead in the guide). It feels great to loosen these up with the massage routine. There is a note with a massage guide, but I thought this video showed it quite well: instagram.com/reel/DNYUwStsdMV/ I have only used this product in the evening, but I didn't massage every day I tested, but did it on the days I had time, and it feels really good for the skin/lifting! Positives: ➕ I like the concept of the "massage routine" for the face ➕ Noticed that I was less puffy in the morning after the evenings I had used serum + massage method ➕ Tested a thin layer under makeup, and it worked fine ➕ Easy to apply on the skin (using a pipette and applying the product directly to the face) ➕ Easy to remove with water/soap from fingers after application Negatives: ➖ I found some of the massage techniques difficult to get right, especially the one with the neck, I couldn't do that at all (I think it hurts a bit) ➖ You have to use quite a bit of serum/oil to get the proper massage technique, I think this brings it down a bit, as the serum costs quite a lot ➖ The pipette works quite poorly, as it is difficult to catch the product and get it out in a good way ➖ I don't think the product smells that good, but that's probably a matter of taste, smells a bit woody/forest ➖ Stays on the skin until the morning after (which is actually good, because then it works for a long time), but I prefer that the product absorbs quickly Overall, based on the price, and what I feel I get back with the product, it doesn't quite make it to the top of my list, but I have learned something completely new regarding massage techniques that lifts. I don't feel I can see any clear lifting yet, but I notice that I think it helps, so maybe when I have used serum + massage over an even longer period. I have also used the following products in the same series: ✨ Daily Skin Health Magnetic Afterglow Cleanser 296 ml Art no: 1093-439-0296 ✨ Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF50 50 ml Art no: 1093-127-0050 ✨ Daily Microfoliant 74 g Art no: 1093-324-0075 Briefly about the skincare routine: I first used the Cleanser in the evening, then Daily Microfoliant, and then this serum. I use the Skin Recovery cream in the morning after. #lykoinflutester #dermalogica1 product in post An exclusive serum with something completely new, namely a massage routine!142 views - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
A good and gentle cream that feels nice
Now that autumn is here, the skin gets extra dry. It was super nice to test this cream for dry to very dry skin from CeraVe. It is fragrance-free, and I often find that products smell unpleasant. This one doesn’t, it just smells a little clean. I have also used CeraVe's products a lot in the past, and I think they are especially good for dry skin, and their products work well for sensitive skin. Positives: ➕ Very good consistency, it is «silky soft» ➕ Easy to wash off from hands after application (just need to use water) ➕ Absorbs quickly and skin feels more hydrated afterwards ➕ Nice size that fits well standing in the shower (I apply it right after drying with a towel after showering) ➕ Good packaging, the pump works well, you can tell it is «solidly» made ➕ Feels good on the skin, without fragrance and «clean»/neutral Negatives: ➖ This was probably too «rich» to use all over my face. I got pimples around my nose, but on my forehead, where I often get oily, it was nice to use. Therefore, I mostly used it on my body: shins and dry areas that I often have on hands, elbows (and over my knees for some reason). ➖ Results don’t last very long, needs to be used regularly. All in all, a very good cream, CeraVe is a go-to. PS: Their facial cleansers are also very good! #lykoinflutester #cerave1 product in post A good and gentle cream that feels nice585 views - The post was made 7 monthsRating: 3 out of 5Verifierad testare
Great for curls in hair care routine
I have recently been testing the Happy Crazy Mine series for curly hair. Including this comb. Hair care routine (this may deviate from the recommended routine 😅): 1. Apply shampoo to wet hair. Only at the roots. Rinse out again. Apply a new round of shampoo focusing mostly on the scalp, running hands with shampoo through the hair. Rinse well. 2. Apply conditioner. Let it sit for a bit (1-2 min). Rinse out. Bend head forward and turn hair towards the floor in the shower while I "ruffle" it a bit and let water rinse through. 3. Quickly dry hair with a towel. Comb hair with the curl comb to separate it a bit and remove tangles. 4. Apply curl gel. I have used a bit too much (about 1.5 teaspoons for the whole hair). Apply both at the roots (top of the head) and in the lengths. I like to take some time to scrunch the hair from the bottom up towards the top of the head. I usually lie down after this (I know it's not the best to lie down with wet hair, but I always do it). 5. In the morning, I gently comb the hair with the curl comb. Sometimes I have to use a regular hairbrush as well (then the result isn't as good), and spray curl activator in the front curls. I scrunch the hair where I put curl activator in a bit. Products in the hair care routine: Shampoo: Art no: 1750-141-0350 Conditioner: Art no: 1750-142-0200 Curl gel: Art no: 1750-139-0100 Curl activator: Art no: 1750-140-0200 Curl comb: Art no: 1750-138-0000 About the curl comb: ✅ Doesn't get stuck in the hair, has a smooth surface. ✅ Fits my curls well. Big enough gaps that I think it separates the hair nicely and results in beautiful curls. ✅ Top to use in hair care routine for curls. ❌ Don't like the end, it makes it a bit difficult to hold when using it in the hair. ❌ If the hair is very tangled, it doesn't work quite right. But it works well in the hair care routine. #lykoinflutester #happycrazymine1 product in post Great for curls in hair care routine644 views - The post was made 7 monthsRating: 5 out of 5Verifierad testare
Beautiful Curls and Less Frizz
I have recently been testing the Happy Crazy Mine series for curly hair. I have frizzy hair (which is actually curls), but I have never tested a routine for curly hair before. I wish I had done it because I noticed a real difference - just look at the picture. I feel it actually looks nicer after than what comes through. Hair care routine (this may deviate from the recommended routine 😅): 1. Apply shampoo to wet hair. Just at the roots. Rinse out again. Apply a new round of shampoo with most focus on the scalp, pulling the hands with shampoo through the hair. Rinse well. 2. Apply conditioner. Let it sit for a bit (1-2 min). Rinse out. Bend the head forward and turn the hair towards the floor in the shower, while I "ruffle" a bit in it and let water rinse through. 3. Quickly dry the hair with a towel.

I have tried this without the other products and also experienced getting beautiful curls then. ✅ Super consistency. Silky soft to use in the hair. Doesn’t smell that much, I think. See attached picture. ✅ Creates bouncy curls and removes frizz. #lykoinflutester #happycrazymine1 product in post Beautiful Curls and Less Frizz477 views
