Good sunscreen☀️
I have been so lucky to get to test Face formula as #lykotestpilot my mom and I have tested these products for 2 weeks now🥰 Mom says; "It was a practical and nice sunscreen. It didn’t feel unnecessarily heavy on the skin. A good sunscreen with SPF 30+. It comes in a practical pump bottle that makes it easy to dose. The consistency is light and pleasant, and the sunscreen is easy to spread on the skin. A big plus is that it has no noticeable scent. Absorbs nicely and feels comfortable on the skin. A simple and practical sunscreen for everyday use." I agree with a lot of that. It’s a good sunscreen. It spreads easily on the skin and doesn’t feel too greasy. I think it stays nicely and long on the skin, and I haven’t noticed it flaking off during the day, as I’ve seen others say it can do☺️ Nova Cream leaves the skin soft and comfortable. It suited my sensitive and acne-prone skin well. It smells like typical sunscreen, but thankfully not too strong! The only downside to this sunscreen is that it’s quite pricey. I also think it’s a shame that it’s SPF 30+ and not SPF 50+, which I usually use😅 but probably nice to use now towards autumn☀️ Not sure if I’ll buy it again because of the high price, but definitely a good sunscreen from a quality brand! #lykotestpilot #lykocreator #faceformula #lykocreator #skincare #spf #lykoreview29 views - Most helpful negativeThe user's roll: Lyko Creator.

✨ Face Formula Nova Cream ✨
Received this product as #lykotestpilot in exchange for an honest review, as a reference I have sensitive combination skin. 📦 First impression Simple pump that neither drips nor splatters and dispenses a good amount of product. The texture is thicker and the scent is the typical sunscreen smell. 💄 Usage I always use plenty of SPF on my face, so it was one pump per area on the face and décolleté. Applied after cleansing and serum and possibly moisturizer/milk toner 20 minutes before sun exposure. However, I skipped the moisturizer because this cream already feels very thick and heavy as it is. 👍 Pros 💚 Long-lasting 💚 Super good application pump 💚 Very moisturizing and gives a nice glow for those who prefer it 👎 Cons ❤️🩹 Pills during application ❤️🩹 Feels heavy and oily on the face ❤️🩹 Only SPF 30, prefer SPF 50 ❤️🩹 High price 💭 Conclusion Unfortunately, this was not a hit for me, I have never before experienced a product pilling but now I understand what many mean. Tried all possible ways and managed it after many attempts without the cream rolling, but is it worth all the frustration in the morning to only have SPF 30 and not get the result you prefer? Nah, not really. Probably won’t buy again, but I’m incredibly grateful I got the chance to test this – thanks best FACE FORMULA (fd. Elixir Cosmeceuticals) and LYKO 💗 To avoid wasting the product unnecessarily, it will be used on the body instead! #lykotestpilot #faceformula #hudvård #skincare #känslighy #sensitiveskin #spf30 #lykotips #lykocreator #lykomission #lykoreview163 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Pretty decent, but not a favorite
I have tested Nova Cream SPF 30, and after trying it, I’m left with a somewhat mixed impression. The first impression was positive. I like the texture, and it’s easy to spread on the skin. It has a mild, typical sunscreen scent, which I actually find quite okay. The skin also feels soft and well moisturized after application. At the same time, I think it can feel a bit greasy and heavy on the skin. It absorbs eventually, but I find it takes some time before it feels properly dry. For me, it’s therefore not the most comfortable sunscreen for everyday use, especially if I have several skincare products underneath. I think it works okay under makeup, but it depends a bit on how much you use and how long you let it absorb first. I experienced that the skin could feel a bit sticky, and I actually prefer a sunscreen that feels lighter and more “invisible” on the skin. A big plus is that it’s water-resistant and has SPF 30, so I definitely think it’s suitable for days when you’ll be outside a lot or at the beach. ☀️ It also provides good moisture, so you don’t necessarily need much else underneath. All in all, it’s a pretty decent sunscreen that offers good protection, but it didn’t quite become a favorite for me. I wish it felt a bit lighter on the skin.54 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 2 daysRating: 5 out of 5
Finally an SPF I like ☀️
I'm quite picky with SPF, and this one has made a good impression on me. Nova Cream SPF 30 has a pleasant cream texture and feels more like a regular face cream than a typical sunscreen. I especially like that the skin feels soft and hydrated afterwards, while the cream doesn't feel unnecessarily heavy. 😊 It fits nicely into the morning routine and also works well under makeup. ☀️ #lykotestpilot #faceformula45 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Works best alone 🌧️
Could have been a great finish to the daytime skincare routine, but unfortunately I probably won’t continue using this 🥺 It feels quite greasy and smells like typical sunscreen. The biggest downside was that it clumped during and after application, like it doesn’t absorb properly into the skin. I’ve ended up removing it again before applying makeup so that the makeup lays nicely. Other than that, it’s at least a plus that it has good sun protection, and probably nice to use at the beach since it’s waterproof, and you usually don’t use many other products under or over the cream 🌞🤍 #lykotestpilot #faceformula40 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Unfortunately not a sunscreen for me
I was looking forward to testing this, especially because I like sunscreens that work well under makeup. My first impression of the cream itself was also quite good. It has a medium thick consistency, is easy to spread on the hand (where I tested first), and has a very mild scent, which I really like. Unfortunately, it didn’t work so well on my skin. I am 41 years old and have sensitive skin with rosacea. I found that the cream needed quite a long time to be worked in to avoid white cast, and it took a long time to absorb properly. I used two finger lengths as you should with sunscreen. For me, the result was not matte either. The skin felt for a long time as if it had a thin, slightly oily layer, and the product transferred to my fingers when I touched my skin. I also experienced pilling, even on my chest, where I only had Face Formula Blue serum underneath. I also tested with a smaller amount of Nova cream and then it absorbed faster, but the greasy feeling was still there. I tried both with serum and without anything else after cleansing, but the experience was the same. I also didn’t quite get along with the packaging. I had to pump many times to get enough product out. Unfortunately, the packaging felt a bit cheap, and mine didn’t seem to work quite right either. Towards the end of testing, I noticed many small, colorless bumps on my forehead. I can’t be sure if it was caused by the Nova cream, but since this is not normal for my skin, I chose to stop testing. I liked the consistency and the mild scent, but unfortunately there were too many things that didn’t work for me for this to get a permanent place on my bathroom shelf. So would I buy this myself? No, unfortunately 💛 #lykotestpilot #faceformula32 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The comment was made 4 daysOh wow, that doesn't sound great. But good review 🤎

Hard to get right
I received this product to test as #testpilot. I've been using it frequently for a while now. It smells nice to me, not a strong scent. But it crumbles on the face and makes everything peel off. The skincare underneath, but also the makeup peels off. If I use a cream under the SPF, it becomes too greasy and oily on me during the day. If I don't use any day cream, it's not sufficient as a moisturizer on its own. As soon as I have this on my face and touch the skin, it peels off. Hard to get makeup to look nice on top of it unfortunately. So I prefer to use this alone. 😓27 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 1 weekRating: 2 out of 5
Not a favorite
I had pretty high hopes for this, but unfortunately it didn’t deliver as I had hoped. It left my skin greasy/oily, and it’s also very thick in consistency which I don’t like. However, the skin felt moisturized after use. I tried both with and without day cream/serum underneath, but it made no difference. It also smells very strongly of sunscreen. Unfortunately, I will not recommend this, especially considering the high price. #lykotestpilot #faceformula72 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 1 weekRating: 2 out of 5
⭐️⭐️ Unfortunately not for me
I had hoped that Face Formula Nova Cream SPF 30+ would suit my skin, but unfortunately this product was a disappointment for me. The cream has a rather thick consistency, and I have to press the pump many times to get enough product for the whole face. The consistency also feels very greasy on my skin. After application, the skin becomes very shiny, and the cream leaves quite a sticky feeling. I have combination skin leaning towards dry, but even on my skin the finish is too greasy and shiny. The biggest problem for me, however, is that the cream starts to roll off the skin and form small clumps. This makes it difficult to use daily, especially since a sunscreen must be applied in sufficient quantity. The scent reminds me of a classic sunscreen. It is noticeable but not something that particularly bothers me. A big plus is that the cream does not sting my eyes, which I appreciate in a facial sunscreen. Unfortunately, this does not outweigh the greasy and sticky feeling and the problem with the product rolling off the skin. Therefore, this unfortunately did not work for me. 2/5 ⭐️ #lykotestpilot #faceformula52 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 2 weeksRating: 1 out of 5
My skin looks greasy and crumbly after use
Unfortunately, this is not an SPF product I can recommend – especially considering the high price. Usage: According to the product description, the cream should leave the skin soft, smooth, and pleasantly matte, and it should suit all skin types. It should be applied as the last step in the skincare routine, after moisturizer, in the morning. It is also recommended to reapply the product after activities like sweating, swimming, or drying off with a towel. Texture and scent: The cream has a fairly thick texture when it comes out of the bottle and has a distinct sunscreen scent. My result: For me, the texture is way too thick. The cream needs to be worked in thoroughly to absorb into the skin, but even then, the result is not what I hoped for. My skin becomes greasy, sticky, and crumbly upon application. It also continues to feel greasy on the skin even after several hours. If I rub my face, the product starts to crumble even more. I have tried using it both with and without moisturizer to see if the moisturizer affects the result. My conclusion is that it doesn’t make much difference. Whether I use moisturizer underneath or not, the skin still becomes sticky, greasy, and crumbly. I have also tried applying makeup on top of the SPF, but then the problem becomes even more noticeable because the product crumbles even more. Conclusion: Unfortunately, this is not an SPF I will continue to use, recommend, or buy again. For me, a good SPF should be thin in texture, easy to apply, and quickly absorb into the skin. It should feel light and pleasant without leaving a greasy film – and above all, it should not crumble. Therefore, unfortunately, it gets a thumbs down from me, especially considering the product’s high price. #lykotestpilot #faceformula - The post was made 1 yearsRating: 1 out of 5verified customer

Disappointed
Peeling off the skin and looks very greasy. Doesn't absorb into the skin and looks very oily on1 product in post Disappointed2211 views- The user's roll: Skin therapist at Lyko. The comment was made 1 yearsHi Nadia So sorry to read that this product didn't meet your expectations! How this cream sits on the skin depends on the other products (and the amount of them) you use in the rest of your routine. Try using a little less serum and possibly day cream before applying Nova Cream, and give the products time to absorb well into the skin between each step Wishing you a wonderful day ahead1 likes
