I've made myself a small toiletry bag with nail care, hand care, and lip balm that sits by the sofa and is easily accessible in the evening if I relax in front of the TV ✨4 products in post71 views

Nova Cream SPF30+
I have been so lucky to test some products from Face Formula as a Lyko Testpilot! Nova Cream is described as a lightweight sunscreen with SPF30+ that protects against UVA, UVB, infrared, and blue light, while also providing moisture and strengthening the skin's natural defense. The packaging itself is nice – it comes in a golden brown pump bottle with orange details and looks stylish on its own. It’s probably easy to bring along when traveling and in your bag because of the cap, which is great! Relatively little product comes out with one pump, so to cover the entire face you should use a couple of pumps. The cream itself is white, soft, and pleasant on the skin, easy to spread, and gives a slightly shiny/shimmery result. I have tried it every morning for a little over two weeks now, but unfortunately, I’m not quite sure about the product. I find it difficult to know how much sunscreen to use. I’m used to needing quite a bit of sunscreen for good protection, and it also says on the product page that you should use a generous amount – yet only a little comes out with each pump, and if you use more than a couple of pumps, your face just turns white. On me, it also pills a lot throughout the day, no matter what I try to combine it with in terms of skincare and makeup. It pills the most on my chest/decolletage where I have the least skincare and no makeup. I’ve also used it some days without any makeup at all, but it’s almost like it pills more and more each time I use it, and today I actually had to wash it off because it was so annoying. I also experience that the shimmering effect of the cream sometimes feels like the skin is just oily – and that’s not so nice when you have combination skin… I also think the SPF is too low. I use SPF 50 on my face every day all year round because I use active ingredients in my skincare routine, so it feels very wrong to use only factor 30 these weeks. I haven’t noticed anything negative on my skin, but sun damage and signs of aging are things that come gradually. Would I buy the product again? No. It pills, it has too low SPF, and my skin looks shiny and white on some days. So no, I wouldn’t spend my money on this, at least not as long as there are fantastic sunscreens with higher SPF that don’t have these issues. Who could it suit? I imagine this sunscreen could suit those who use little skincare regularly and are looking for a simple product that can give a bit of a "glow" while providing sun protection. Personally, I think it’s a high price for a product that doesn’t quite deliver. Thanks for letting me test, even though this wasn’t a hit for me! 💕✨ Positives: 🌸 nice packaging with pump function and cap 🌸 lovely, soft texture 🌸 gives a bit of glow (if you want it) 🌸 SPF 30, protects against UVA, UVB, infrared, and blue light Negatives: 🌵 pills/rolls on the skin 🌵 high price 🌵 too low SPF for me (I use SPF50 even though I live far north) 🌵 makes skin oily and white on some days #faceformula #lykotestpilot1 product in post Nova Cream SPF30+99 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Blue Serum
I have been so lucky to test some products from Face Formula as a Lyko Testpilot! I have never tried blue serum before, but I became very interested when I read about the product before receiving it in the mail. The serum is inspired by Scandinavian nature and contains copper peptides that are supposed to stimulate skin regeneration and collagen production, Snow Mushroom which binds moisture deeply and gives a more elastic skin surface, while malachite (a green copper mineral) provides antioxidant protection and supports the skin's ability to counteract oxidative stress. The bottle itself is very beautiful – a transparent glass bottle with blue serum and a simple dropper that works excellently. Very simple dosing mechanism where you just press the top of the cap to pick up serum, and it is easily applied to the skin. For me, one dose is enough for the whole face, as it is easy to spread over the skin and absorbs quickly. It feels soft and pleasant on the skin. I don't think it smells much, and the blue serum disappears quickly after application. It feels quite economical to use because you need so little at a time. I often have some redness in my skin, and I think it has improved since I started using this serum, and the skin has cleared up a bit and looks calmer. Would I buy it again? I'm unsure. The product is good, but the price is very steep for only 30 ml. At this price, there are many other good products with more research-based results. I am very grateful to have been able to test it, and I liked the consistency and appearance, but I am unsure if it is worth the price. I am also unsure if the combination with vitamin C and retinol is good together with copper peptides, as it is generally advised not to combine them in the same routine. I have used Blue serum with vitamin C in the morning and retinol in the evening during the test period, and I can't see that Face Formula has any recommendations regarding this, but when I read a bit closer, I find that it is generally recommended to use copper peptides at different times than retinol, vitamin C, and AHA. Since I use retinol and vitamin C every day, I will prioritize these over copper peptides. But I am very grateful to have been able to test it out! 💕✨ Positive: 🌸 nice packaging 🌸 lovely consistency 🌸 good effect on the skin Negative: 🌵 price 🌵 should not be combined with retinol, vitamin C, or AHA? A bit hard to know what the manufacturer thinks, they write nothing about it, but other manufacturers e.g. The Ordinary recommend avoiding this. #faceformula #lykotestpilot1 product in post Blue Serum - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Face Formula 2-in-1 Refining Cleansing Milk
I have been so lucky to test some products from Face Formula as a Lyko Testpilot! This is a 2-in-1 cleansing milk described as a mild but effective cleanser that among other things is supposed to cleanse and soothe the skin and strengthen the skin barrier. I usually have combination and slightly sensitive skin, so I thought this would suit me well! I’m used to double cleansing, but it’s tempting to have products that save time in the skincare routine and combine several steps in one. The product’s appearance is sleek and classic. I really like that it comes with a pump, as it makes dosing easier. The cleansing milk is white, quite runny, doesn’t foam, and smells a bit chemical. I often find that fragrance-free skincare products smell a bit odd, and that’s probably the case here too. It’s easy to spread the product. I use it on dry skin, and it feels mild and nice on the skin. After application, I rinse off with lukewarm water, but I find it poor at removing makeup, especially eye makeup. For me, I have to use micellar water or makeup remover in addition – and then it loses some of its 2-in-1 function. After use, the skin feels soft and clean, except that it doesn’t remove eye makeup very well. I used it morning and evening for almost two weeks, but I notice that lately I prefer my double cleansing in the evening when my brain goes on autopilot, and I probably prefer double cleansing over this 2-in-1 cleansing milk, especially when I feel it doesn’t remove makeup well enough. I’ve tried leaving it on for a few minutes to test the enzyme peeling as well, but I must admit I don’t really notice any difference from regular cleansing. Would I buy it again? No, not at this price. I think it’s expensive for a cleanser and I prefer my double cleansing routine. That said, there’s probably nothing wrong with the product itself, and if you wear little makeup and need a mild, moisturizing cleansing milk with a nice pump, this is probably perfect for that purpose! Thank you so much for letting me test! 💕✨ Positives: 🌸 mild and moisturizing 🌸 economical in use 🌸 easy dosing Negatives: 🌵 high price 🌵 doesn’t remove makeup well enough 🌵 smells a bit odd for those sensitive to it #faceformula #lykotestpilot1 product in post Face Formula 2-in-1 Refining Cleansing Milk118 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Expiration date?
What is the expiration date on the Sleeping Mask and Lip Mask? 🤔1 product in post Expiration date?212 views- The comment was made 1 weekLip mask expired in June, night mask expires in September 🥺 I think it should have been disclosed before purchase. It's fair to inform about a short shelf life so you can make your own judgment. But that it's already expired and not informed about makes me quite angry!

- The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 3 weeksLast night I tested my Foreo UFO 2 with the Call It A Night mask – and my skin became so soft and "plumped" after this treatment! I can still feel the effect of the mask from last night on my skin, and when I was about to put on makeup this morning, my skin was so smooth and nice that I almost didn’t need makeup 🥰 I put the mask on the UFO, spread the rest of the serum from the pack on my face, and then run two treatments with the UFO right after each other. Such a lovely and comfortable way to end the day, really recommend it! 🌸💕 I see that the UFO2 is discontinued, but I’m linking to the UFO3 which is probably quite similar 🥰3 products in post323 views

- The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 3 weeksMy latest treat 💕 I've gotten a bit hooked on my Foreo UFO that came with the Lovable The Dreamy Kit a little while ago – I use it on weekend mornings as a quick mask treatment before I start the day, but I've missed a night mask so I clicked home some refills for my UFO 💕 The advantage is that it goes so fast – in a couple of minutes the mask treatment is done 🥰 I've also heard so many good things about COSRX's new Peptide series for hair, so I decided I had to test it! My hair, as I said, has gotten a bit damaged from the sun and chlorinated water this summer, but I've cut it and taken good care of it for a few weeks so it's on the mend – but this seemed so exciting that I couldn't resist 🥰 Looking forward to trying it out!9 products in post359 views
