Elixir CosmeceuticalsSOS Paste 30 ml
The SOS Paste is a problem solver that helps with a variety of skin issues. It is effective against various types of skin imbalances and is used locally on the problem area. With its high concentration of sulfur, it inhibits inflammation and provides a noticeable improvement in acne, rosacea, perioral dermatitis, redness with rashes, bumps, and seborrheic eczema after a short treatment period. The cream treats, prevents, and calms without causing irritation.
Use:
Apply a thin layer locally to breakouts or affected areas. Primarily recommended for evening use, but in cases of severe outbreaks, it can also be used morning and evening. To reduce potential dryness, it's recommended to spot treat with moisturizer afterward.
For acne: Use for 3 consecutive evenings.
For rosacea: Use for 3 evenings in one week, with a day's break between each application.
For perioral dermatitis: Use for 10 consecutive days, morning and evening, then take a break for 3 days before spot treating in the evenings if outbreaks persist.

Hi, I have some acne on my cheeks and bumps all over my forehead, could this help with everything? Can I then apply the cream as if it were a regular cream on my forehead? Considering how many problems I have right there..37 viewsFrida

Got perioral dermatitis in July, tried everything but finally found this. Apply morning and night on washed face where the rash is. Then I moisturized my face with Cetaphil cream for dry skin. Then a layer of Inotyol at night. During the day without Inotyol of course. This healed everything in 1 month and now it's almost Christmas so I've been struggling for a while. Sos paste and Inotyol 👌Try it!!!1 likes72 viewsSelma Nora

I apply the cream on freshly washed skin, but I experience both while applying and after I have applied that it is quite dry/flaking off. Is this normal?1136 viewsLine
Skin therapist at Lyko2 daysHi Selma! This dries a bit on the skin and can somewhat be compared to applying a clay mask that tightens when used alone. That’s also why this should mainly be used in the evening and not during the day. You can try applying a slightly thinner layer and feel free to use Niactil 4% or another light moisturizer on top. Have a nice day🤗

4 daysYou should just put on a light face cream, so not one that is too greasy, but enough to hydrate the skin.

Can you use this on the whole face?897 viewsLine
Skin therapist at Lyko2 daysHi Julie! This is not recommended to use on the entire face, but should only be used on affected problem areas (if you have a problem area around the mouth, use this only there, for example). Have a nice day🤗

Hi🤩 can this be used together with azelaic acid? For example every other night or sos paste 2 days a week and azelaic acid on the other nights? Can I also use a pore minimizing serum in the morning? Thanks in advance!🤖🏽1524 viewsLine
Skin therapist at Lyko1 weekHi Tiril! This is recommended to be used directly on the skin (nothing underneath) followed by a moisturizing cream to counteract dryness. It is recommended to use, for example, Niactil 4% if you have it, or it’s fine to use a regular moisturizer on top. You can definitely use azelaic acid on the evenings you don’t use SOS paste. You can definitely use most serums during the day, as this shouldn’t be combined anyway🤝🏻 Have a lovely day🤗

hi! I have brutal outbreaks of perioral dermatitis that have spread to large parts of my face, it covers my upper lip, chin, large parts of my cheeks, and the tip of my nose. Last year I had similar problems and was prescribed finacea. It helped, but the itching and burning sensation are unbearable… I ordered this product in pure desperation and wonder how I should set up my treatment. I have been using finacea morning and night for 3 days and will get elixir delivered tomorrow at lunch. How should I combine these products, and most importantly, does elixir sos paste sting?1842 viewsMaria L.
Customer service at Lyko2 weeksHey! Since you have been prescribed finacea, I would recommend talking to your doctor about how to combine them. If you want to try using only SOS Paste, you can use it for 10 days straight, morning and evening (note! after acclimatization and when you feel your skin can handle it), then take a break for 3 days to spot treat in the evening if there are any breakouts left 💖 Good luck and take care! ✨

I had problems with perioral dermatitis at the end of August and contacted the health center right away (had PD before that ended with antibiotics), then got prescribed a cream that helped the first few days, but then it plateaued (continued for a month). So I started googling and found this cream and felt like I would give it a try, I felt desperate and was ready to try anything except antibiotics. After three days, my PD looked much better, so I used it morning and night for 10 days, then took a break for 3 days, and then another 10 days. And today my PD is completely gone! Sure, the cream doesn't smell like raspberries, and it's expensive, but it's so worth it, as it's so incredibly concentrated, you need so little. I recommend this cream to anyone with PD!1 likes2641 views
