Lovely magic
Woop woop I see a clear result on my skin that had small dents (pores) that have improved significantly. The skin becomes smooth and gets such a Glow 🥰2381 views - The post was made 6 hours
Good alternatives?
I have previously used the ordinary, granactive retinoid 5% in squalane. It seems to be hard to get now. Is this a good alternative? I would prefer not to have anything weaker than that since I have been using it for quite a while now, rather the opposite.9 views - The post was made 3 days
Hi
Can I use this 2 times a week and use The Retinol 0.1 Cream 20 ml on the other days?65 views- The user's roll: Skin therapist at Lyko. The comment was made 3 daysHeihei 👋 Retinol builds results over time, and "more is not necessarily better." A gradual, patient increase often yields better results with fewer irritations 👌 I would therefore recommend that you start to gradually introduce the retinol 0.1 cream into your skincare routine, until your skin possibly tolerates using it every night. Note that this can take up to 2-3 months. After that, you can introduce the oil 1 night a week, and as needed, you can use it 2 times a week along with the 0.1 cream on the other days. PS - Avoid strong acids (AHA/BHA), benzoyl peroxide, and vitamin C on the same night as retinol — these can cause extra irritation. - SPF every day! Retinol makes the skin more light-sensitive. - If you notice warmth, stinging, persistent redness, or extensive peeling — reduce usage or take a break. Here it is important to remember that every skin is different, everyone experiences different effects/impacts from product use - and since I do not have insight into your skin type or condition, as well as information about which products you are using otherwise, this is a general recommendation 🕵️♀️ Wishing you a nice day ahead 💓

Neck
Can this be used on the neck? Any other tips on retinol products that can be used? Best regards1616 views- The user's roll: Farmaceut på Lyko. The comment was made 1 monthHi MS😊 Thank you for your question✨ Yes, COSRX The Retinol 0.5% Oil can be used on the neck, but start carefully 1-2 evenings a week and increase if the skin tolerates it. Always finish with a moisturizer and use sun protection during the day. Alternatives for sensitive neck are otherwise, for example, some of these: COSRX Retinol 0.1% Cream lyko.com/sv/cosrx/cosrx-the-retinol-0.1-cream-20-ml La Roche-Posay Retinol B3 Serum lyko.com/sv/la-roche-posay/la-roche-posay-la-roche-posay-retinol-b3-serum-30-ml?fromsearch=la%2Brocheposay%2Bretinol Kiehl’s Retinol Daily Micro-Dose lyko.com/sv/kiehls/kiehls-retinol-daily-micro-dose-treatment-30.0-ml Hope the answer can be helpful and that you have a lovely day❄️1 likes

Oily skin
Hey! Does this also work for oily skin? 😊4265 views- The user's roll: Farmaceut på Lyko. The comment was made 4 monthsOf course, here comes another suggestion with 0.5% retinol but in squalane, which is similar to the skin's own and therefore also suitable for an oilier skin type: lyko.com/sv/the-ordinary/the-ordinary-retinol-0.5--in-squalane-30ml Hope you will enjoy this😊

Nice
You can feel a bit of a sting in the face, but you wake up with super tight and nice skin. I recommend not using it more than once a week, e.g. after a shower.4053 views - The post was made 4 monthsRating: 5 out of 5verified customer

Combine products
Hi! I'm attaching a picture of my cart and wondering how I should use these products for the best results for: • Smoother and clearer skin tone • Glow & radiance • Anti-aging effect (fine lines, firmness) • Pigment reduction Can these be combined?4409 views- The user's roll: Skin therapist at Lyko. The comment was made 5 monthsHi Janeta, Retinol 0.5 and AHA Power Liquid can be too powerful to use together, so I recommend using them in different routines. One suggestion is to use Power Liquid 2-3 times a week in the evening, on the remaining evenings you can use Retinol 0.5. In the morning, you use Hyaluronic acid. Wishing you a nice day! 🌺2 likes

Nice consistency
The consistency is a bit oily which makes it pleasant to apply. Works for me to use two evenings a week followed by moisturizer (torriden).5219 views - The post was made 8 months
newbie
Hey! It says here: “This oil is particularly suitable for those who are used to using retinol.” I haven't used retinol before. Can I still start with it? How often should I use it?5168 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 8 monthsHey Fahimeh! 👋 So cool that you’re interested in trying retinol. You can definitely start with this one and acclimate your skin, but a milder option to begin with could be their cream: lyko.com/sv/cosrx/cosrx-the-retinol-0.1-cream-20-ml Check what you think and test it out, maybe start with 1 day a week to see how your skin reacts and increase cautiously 🥰🙏 Good luck!3 likes

Face cream?
