    Super!

    For best effect, apply it in the evening before going to bed, and then you can use any deodorant/AP during the day that smells good. I have done this for many years. Previous similar products I have tried were quite irritating to the skin, causing redness and itching that made me scratch like crazy. This one is extremely mild but still as effective as others I have tried (Perspirex and Absolut Torr). I don't need to be as careful when applying Bats as with others. I have worked when it was 30 degrees in rooms without AC, and not a drop of sweat came from my armpits, and I still smell fresh at the end of the shifts. Go aluminum! The hero of sweaty people❣️

    Good, basic and reliable.

    For oily, sensitive skin, this is a perfect night cream. For dry, sensitive skin (for example during isotretinoin treatment), it’s perfect morning and evening. My skin: Usually oily and sensitive, comedonal acne, rosacea, eczema-prone. Right now I’m on isotretinoin, so my skin is a bit more balanced but still sensitive. It’s a good, basic, and fragrance-free face cream without any fuss. It absorbs quickly and leaves the skin with a slight glow without feeling greasy or sticky. I haven’t noticed any direct soothing effect, but the skin hasn’t reacted to anything either. So maybe it helps keep the skin in check! And right now I’m on isotretinoin, and the skin is becoming more and more sensitive and dry. The only complaint I have is that it’s a small 40 ml bottle, which makes it a relatively expensive product. There are cheaper and just as good face creams where you get more product for less cost (for example CeraVe and Cetaphil). I can’t wholeheartedly recommend this product due to cost versus size. I was curious and bought it, and I like it very much. LRP knows their formulations and the consistency of their creams. But many other brands can do that too for a lower price!

    Fantastic Conditioner

    My hair type is fine, but with many strands, very straight and lacking volume. I have an oily but sensitive scalp, and always get super dry ends. I have bought this conditioner countless times. The conditioner is incredibly good at moisturizing and caring for the hair without making it stringy and weighed down. The scent is so-so. It is a faint scent though, but nothing luxurious. The only negative thing I have to say about the product is that it feels very quick to run out. Maybe I’m used to conditioners that make the hair feel soft immediately upon application, which this conditioner does not. It takes a while for the conditioner to feel soft on the hair. Regardless! I love the conditioner! Have bought it many times before and will continue to buy it!

    Super!

    During the summer, I started working night shifts, and therefore haven't worn makeup for a longer time. However, I have quite a bit of redness due to rosacea and generally sensitive and reactive skin. I have the classic "hangover nose" redness thanks to rosacea. Instead of putting on makeup at night, I ordered this face cream hoping to reduce redness a bit, without expecting it to solve all my problems. Besides rosacea, I unfortunately have oily skin. Oil + rosacea = a bad combination because oil triggers my rosacea redness. The cream is greenish as shown in the product pictures above, and I think it corrects redness in a subtle way that is sufficient for me. I haven't tested it for a long time, so I can't comment on how well it reduces redness in the long run. The only thing I don't quite get along with is that it is quite rich in texture and leaves the skin with a bit of extra "glow," almost metallic. I also had some issues at first when getting to know the product that it settled in the pores and didn't really want to absorb into the skin. I quickly learned to let products applied before sink in for a while, then work with thin layers where you first massage the product in and then pat it in. And even though the product is a bit on the richer side, it still works well since the air at work is very dry, which can make my skin feel quite tight during the last hours of the shift. So for me, it doesn't matter that it's a bit richer in texture. However, I can't use it during the day if it's warm and humid outside because then I get super oily skin, which in turn worsens my rosacea. I haven't tested it under makeup or sunscreen, so I don't know how it works to apply makeup on top. I will use it up but am unsure if I will repurchase when the product runs out.

    Good base tones

    Simple, effective, and good. An oldie, but goodie! The description says it’s perfumed, but I’m happy to report that it’s fragrance-free! Sometimes I want to keep my skincare routine very simple, which LRP facial toner allows. Cleansing, toner, acne treatment, face cream is my "I’m too tired" routine. The product is moisturizing and also suits my slightly oily but, alas, sensitive skin. I have combination oily-normal/dry skin prone to clogged pores (comedonal acne), with rosacea and eczema tendencies. I also tend to have surface dryness, probably thanks to a fantastic, well-ventilated workplace (not). I prefer toners over serums because of the lighter consistency and because they’re not as potent as serums. The consistency is watery and absorbs easily into the skin. The skin feels fresh, moisturized without feeling too heavy on the skin. Healthy radiance/“glow” without looking shiny. Usually, I use toners without cotton pads, but there’s something about this toner that makes it feel a bit nicer with a cotton pad. It feels like the skin gets saturated with moisture faster from the product, and a thinner layer is more than enough. It’s easier with a cotton pad. As I said, simple, effective, and good! The bottle is handy and sleek with a snap cap/lid. In summer, my rosacea tends to act up more than usual because of the heat. So I prefer lighter products that don’t feel sticky or leave a film on the skin. At the same time, I still want effective moisture. This one does the job brilliantly! I will buy again!

    No!

    I loved the predecessor!!! The SPF serum is not good at all. It doesn’t absorb into the skin, crumbles, and is simply a very poor replacement. I have tested it with and without skincare underneath and got the same result. I have tried applying several layers, waited 30 minutes for it to absorb before applying makeup. Nothing works. Very disappointed. I use it on arms and hands to avoid wasting money. But I sincerely hope Torriden brings back the lotion version because this one was catastrophic for me. I bought it through another reliable site, not via Lyko.

    Big favorite with many functions!

    I always keep one in the shower. Perfect for morning cleansing when the skin feels a bit sensitive and tight. I have a combination skin type (oily-normal/dry), which is also sensitive (rosacea, prone to eczema), and easily becomes dry on the surface (generally, but depends a lot on harsh acne treatments). I always wash my face twice, morning and evening. This is a favorite in the morning if the skin needs a gentler cleanse. I also use the cleanser for the body (which, unlike the face, is dry as heck). I shower often because of my job (healthcare profession), and this cleanser prevents me from getting too dry. Another use is for shaving, legs, and intimate areas. It works excellently for shaving. The cleanser is creamy, easy to spread on the skin and massage around. Because of my oily skin, I tend to rub a bit more around the T-zone. Despite that, the skin doesn’t get irritated as the fingers glide easily. When rinsing off, I do it like with an oil/balm cleanser where I “dissolve” the cleanser with wet fingers before rinsing to avoid leaving a residue. Honestly, I don’t know if a residue is left, but I have bad experiences with milk cleansers, so it’s a habit I keep when it comes to more moisturizing/non-foaming cleansers. The skin feels clean and moisturized afterward, without feeling too clean or too “sticky.” I love this! Will buy again and again!

    A favorite for a basic person like me!

    I'm not a person who appreciates glitter and metallic makeup. I'm basic as hell and like my matte, cool-toned makeup. And to clarify, this is a personal preference of mine and not criticism of others. I love glamorous makeup on others. I love when people are creative and sparkly AF!💗 The palette is a good base with a nice selection if you want a cooler or neutral tone. I always get a good fade since all the colors blend well together. Also, broad shades, light to dark, are good for going from lighter to deeper! Love Rom&ND's palettes. I have two palettes. Light packaging that's easy to bring when traveling. The packaging is plastic and feels sturdy. The shadows have just the right pay-off, meaning easy to build up without being too harsh on first application.

    Cool thing

    A cool thing for a slightly more detailed self-care routine. The skin gets moisturized. I usually use it after the last work shift before going to sleep to get a little extra nurturing boost while I sleep. Unscented, uncomplicated INCI. The mask fits relatively well and the fit is easy to adjust if you cut and paste a bit. I have a oilier skin type so I can’t use it in the morning routine as it feels a bit too rich and the skin becomes shiny and oily. But if I use it in the evening routine, I wake up with calmer, moisturized skin. If you want skincare with amino acids, I can also warmly recommend The Ordinary Amino Acid Serum. In my opinion, it’s more suitable for oilier skin types and a constant companion in my routine. Will I buy it again? Probably not, and that’s not because I dislike the product but more because I’m really not a mask user. It was a cool thing for a little extra touch in the skincare routine.
