A true savior for sensitive skin! 💧
As a #LYKOINFLUTESTER, I got to test skincare from the skinfluencer brand SAWÉ Skin Science, including their Derm-Alert Barrier Repair Cream. And it has become a big favorite in my skincare routine. Long story short, I LOVE this cream. As someone who is non-comedogenic, I have long searched for a barrier cream that doesn't clog my pores. When I received this in the mail, I was of course skeptical. I was wrong. It is soft, moisturizing, and completely fragrance-free, which feels perfect when the skin is extra sensitive – especially after peeling or powerful exfoliation. 🧴 It doesn't sting at all, but feels soothing and nice from the very first application. The best part? 👉 It is non-comedogenic, which means it suits my acne-prone skin without causing blockages or breakouts. My skin truly feels restored, stronger, and more balanced after use. The cream absorbs nicely without feeling heavy or sticky, and provides long-lasting hydration that really strengthens the skin's barrier. I think the price is a bit on the high side, but the cream still meets all my expectations. Perfect both as emergency care and as part of the daily routine! ✨ Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #LYKOINFLUTESTER #SAWETranslated from swedish

Does not live up to expectations
This Norwegian-developed cream is supposed to provide intense hydration and protection for the skin. According to the product description, it should repair, soothe, moisturize, and protect the skin. It is supposed to be a versatile cream suitable for all skin types, especially dry or sensitive skin. It is also made to help restore the skin in cold climates. The cream should be applied to clean skin as needed, but can also be used daily. Additionally, it can be used as a versatile body balm. One can apply it to dry areas, hands, and elbows for intensive moisture. Since my skin is mature, sensitive, and relatively dry, I hoped this would be a cream that would suit me well. After a few weeks of use, I have this to say about the cream: ✅ I really like that it comes in a plastic tube, so it can be cut open when there is little product left, and you can use every bit of the product ❌ A bit of a tight smell ❗️ The cream itself is very thick in consistency, and you can really feel that it is a barrier cream. ❌ The product is a bit difficult to spread, so you have to be careful with the amount you take - especially if it is to be applied to the face. ❌ The skin on the face feels soft right after application, but after a short time, it feels dry and tight. For some reason, it feels like all pores and wrinkles also became three times as noticeable after application than before. ✅ I also tested this product as a hand cream, and for that, I thought it worked really well. It absorbed quickly to be that oily, and my hands felt nicely moisturized. I ended up using this cream as a hand cream and on dry areas of my body. For that, it worked really well. As a face cream, it was not quite ideal for me. Therefore, I only give it three stars. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #SAWETranslated from norwegian

Versatile cream
I have been so lucky to test products from the new brand SAWE for a month. Exciting new brand developed by an aesthetic nurse in collaboration with top laboratories. The brand focuses on effective and innovative skincare. A bit about my skin: -combination skin type with dry areas -large pores in the T-zone -focus on slowing down signs of aging, and a desire for healthy and glowing skin. The products come in an ice blue squeeze tube with black text/print. The cream is thick in consistency, so you have to use a bit of force to get the product out. The cream contains several good ingredients that provide moisture like glycerin and panthenol. The cream is, as mentioned above, thick in consistency, and I chose to use it in the evening as it turned a bit white on my face and took time to absorb into the skin. However, the cream moisturizes well, and I have also used it as hand cream since I get dry hands in the spring. It worked well for that. I can also see that it would be nice to use on elbows and knees before self-tanning. Overall, a good and versatile cream at a nice price for the amount, I think. I can see that those with dry skin will like this cream if they can tolerate the thick consistency. Thanks to Lyko and SAWE for letting me test these nice and good products. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #SAWETranslated from norwegian

Fat and dry at the same time
I have been testing this barrier cream for a while now but unfortunately, I'm not sold. To start with, it is supposed to be particularly suitable for dry or sensitive skin and be good in cold climates. Since I have combination/oily skin and we are heading into summer, it wasn't really set up for success either. The cream is very thick. I would like to compare it to something like Idomin, but with a slightly drier formula. Despite that, my skin feels dry and tight shortly after application, and I don't find that pleasant at all; it becomes rather very uncomfortable. I think it can be likened to the feeling on the skin when a clay mask starts to dry. At the same time, I also experience it as greasy. My partially oily skin feels even oilier after a night with this. It's as if it somehow becomes both too dry and too oily at the same time. Unfortunately, I haven't really been able to test the barrier-strengthening properties, as I haven't needed it. The climate has been mild, I haven't used particularly strong skincare products, and my skin has generally been in decent balance. As a hand cream, it worked excellently, but it's a bit on the expensive side for it to be worth the price for that purpose. Unfortunately, not a hit for me at all! I will save this in the bathroom cabinet for the next skin crisis or as a moisture bomb/treatment as needed! #LYKOINFLUTESTER #SAWETranslated from swedish

Nice barrier cream but the price brings down the rating
I have tested this barrier cream for about a month. For reference, I have a dry skin type. This is a really nice barrier cream. Thick and nourishing in its texture and works well for dry to normal skin. I can imagine it could quickly repair a damaged barrier. Oily skin types will find it too rich. Maybe a bit too rich as a day cream at this time of year, but would work better in the fall, winter, and early spring. Comes in a handy tube which I like because it is both hygienic and easy to use. The price range is model higher, but could still be justified considering how nourishing it is. #Lykoinflutester #saweTranslated from swedish

Unfortunately, it didn't suit my skin
I was so lucky to test the serum, eye cream, and this day cream from SAWE, «Derm-Alert Barrier Repair Cream 75 ml» as #lykoinflutester. A bit about my skin: I am 39 years old and have started to get fine lines around my eyes. I have a normal to dry skin type and need a good amount of moisture. I don't have many skin problems aside from a few bumps and red spots in between. (Something I think comes from facial shaving). Using this as a day cream every single day, unfortunately, I won't be doing. I have tested it, and for me, it worked very poorly. Mostly because it often pills and didn't work well with the makeup I use. I love that it comes in a tube, the easiest and most hygienic. Very easy to get the right amount of product out this way. I noticed that on the days I exfoliated first, it laid much better and absorbed quickly into the skin. But on the days I didn't do that, it sat like a film on the skin. And I can't exfoliate every single day. For me with dry skin type, it was unfortunately not optimal. Maybe it works better for other skin types? #SAWETranslated from norwegian

Totally awesome if only used as needed 🩵
I was so lucky to receive the “Derm-Alert Barrier Repair Cream” from SAWE to test it out as a #LYKOINFLUTESTER. Along with the “Radiant Revive Eye Cream” and the “Hyaluronic Catalyst Power Serum” from the same brand, which I have used together with this cream during the testing period. I am 34 years old, have normal to dry skin. A bit sensitive at times if products contain a lot of fragrance. I have a few lines around my eyes, but I don’t have particularly large bags or dark circles under my eyes. And I get a few pimples/bumps now and then. I like that the cream is in a tube, as it is more hygienic than in a jar. And it’s easy to cut open to use up the last bit of the product when it’s getting low. Otherwise, a nice and sleek packaging! The cream also has no noticeable scent. The consistency of the cream is thick and almost a bit “dry.” It reminds me a bit of cold cream. Something I quickly understand is the case when I read about it, as it can be used as needed, or daily in cold climates to repair, soothe, hydrate, and protect the skin. And okay, I live in Finnmark, but it’s not THAT cold here now that I think this was the right time to use it - especially not every day over a longer period 😅 I have used the cream together with the other products in the series over a longer period, both morning and night. Since the cream is quite thick and “dry,” it is quite difficult to spread and distribute evenly on the skin. The skin feels very soft after application, and looks almost a bit matte (see the video). It almost feels like a protective layer is forming over the face. Something that doesn’t give me the moist feeling I usually get from a night cream or day cream. But I definitely see improvements in redness and irritation in the skin when I have used this as a night cream. So there’s no doubt that it contains good ingredients for my skin that calm it down. Which is nice to know! 🩵 As a day cream under makeup, I don’t think it worked very well. As it can pill if you apply too much cream or if it reacts “wrongly” with other products. I will continue to use this cream in short periods when, for example, my skin barrier is weak or the skin needs to heal. And I should mention that I have used it quite a bit on eczema on my arms and neck, which has worked great. As it lays down like a protective barrier, which makes me itch less and helps the skin heal faster. It also works great as a hand cream and on other dry areas of the body. So I might like it better on the body than on the face. Since eczema and itching on the body are something I struggle more with than on my face. So if you set aside the thought that this is a day/night cream, and understand that this is a cream that only needs to be used as needed, when the skin is fragile and damaged (or when it’s freezing cold outside) - it’s totally awesome! The price isn’t so bad either, considering how little you need to use and that you don’t have to use it every day. I will continue to use it as needed and only in the evening on my face, but gladly daily on the rest of my body. Big plus that it doesn’t contain fragrance and is great for sensitive skin!

Weird consistency
I unfortunately did not like this cream at all. I am in the target group for this cream, as it is marketed towards normal-very dry skin. I have dry/combination skin and experience dry areas in the T-zone and patches on my cheeks. Now I have been using this cream (off and on) for about a month, and I have disliked the experience every time. My biggest problem with this cream is the formula. The consistency is almost like a watered-down pomade, which feels waxy and sticky when applying the cream to the face. It does not spread easily and feels like a layer on top of the skin. I experienced both that it hardened in my eyebrows and started to flake off my face when I had thicker layers that weren't fully absorbed. My second problem with this cream is that it absolutely did not provide my skin with enough moisture. Since the cream is aimed at dry and unbalanced skin, I had expected a much richer and creamier product that would really hydrate my skin. At this price point, there are also countless other creams that actually deliver rich moisture, and I will unfortunately probably continue to choose them over this cream going forward. #lykoinflutester #saweTranslated from norwegian

I have been so lucky to try the Norwegian brand SAWE. And here comes a little about me😀 ⭐️adult skin ⭐️dry ⭐️lines + ⭐️this is one of the better creams for moisture, use it at night when you go to sleep 😴 ⭐️ it is fantastic as it feels tightening. ⭐️great that this comes in a tube so you can get everything out. ⭐️lovely delicate color on the tube. ⭐️ extra plus for being able to use it on other parts of the body, I have struggled with dry elbows for several years, and I have tried most things and this one did the trick. 🥳 #LYKOINFLUTESTER #SAWETranslated from norwegian

Soothing
This face cream doesn't smell special and feels nice when applied. However, it is quite thick, so I think it feels a bit heavy when it's on. I would have preferred the product in a glass jar or bottle with a pump since I don't particularly appreciate plastic tubes. It promises intense hydration, to soothe the skin, repair it, and provide protection. I can still imagine that the "heavier" feeling is the protection, but it's not something I prioritize if it leaves that feeling. I think the soothing aspect is what it does best, but unfortunately, it doesn't hydrate enough for my dry skin. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #SAWETranslated from swedish

Moisturizing Overnight
I have now been testing the Derm-Alert Barrier Repair Cream from #SAWE for a month and think it moisturizes my skin! My skin is combination and has recently had issues with pimples on my chin. I feel like my forehead needs more moisture as it sometimes gets dry, and this cream works wonders! ✨Skin is moisturized ✨Absorbs overnight but you feel moisturized in the face when you wake up ✨Versatile - super nice on the hands ✨Mild scent I have chosen to use this cream at night, as it doesn't perform well under makeup. At night, it has time to absorb and do what it promises, to moisturize. I have used it together with the serum every night and will continue to do so. 4/5 - because I couldn't use it under makeup as it crumbles. But at night it works wonders for dry skin like mine tends to be sometimes. #lykoinflutesterTranslated from swedish

It lays like a film
I find it so hard to capture the feeling in a picture, so I thought I would now try to describe as pedagogically as possible the feeling I have experienced after a few weeks of using SAWE Skin Science Derm-Alert Barrier Repair Cream I had sky-high expectations for this versatile cream that is supposed to suit all skin types, especially for me with dry skin. And I have tried to use it in every conceivable way to give it an honest chance. But for me, it really does not work during the day. After a few hours, it crumbles, regardless of whether I have makeup on top or am just using skincare. The first impression is that it "smooths" out my skin texture and feels somewhat like a filter that makes small imperfections in the skin disappear, and it kind of mattifies the skin. After a while, a glow comes, and right HERE in this moment, I love it. Then it slowly starts to fall off the skin like a worse version of a foundation. Small "rolls" form that you can just pick off by dragging your finger across your face. (See video) This means it does not work with any of my foundation alternatives, BB cream, or tinted moisturizer. Which is A and O for it to get a good rating from me. ON THE OTHER HAND, I finally found a very good occasion where it works perfectly. And that is at night. I put it on in the evening and take it off in the morning, and there I really see its repairing properties. It really calms the skin and lets it rest and makes my potential breakouts in the face have been incredibly subdued by the morning after. Even here, it "rolls" but does not affect me in the same way since I am going to bed anyway. But even though I finally found an area of use, I cannot give it a good rating. For me, it did not work at all for everyday use, which is what I had expected. Very disappointing as I had hoped to find a new favorite. But unfortunately, it did not happen this time! (It looks like the pictures are edited, which they are not. The camera picked up different brightness levels in the before and after pictures) Reference: SKIN TYPE: Dry and sensitive AGE: 29 #LYKOINFLUTESTER #SAWETranslated from swedish

Thank you so much for sharing it this way, we really appreciate it! 🤗💛 So typical that it didn’t quite match your skin as you had hoped, skincare is so individual and it can be hard to find the right one sometimes. It feels like you really gave it an honest chance, and it’s great that you found a use for it at night! 🌙 One little tip I can give is to maybe try with a smaller amount and see if it helps with the consistency – sometimes it can make a big difference! 😊 I’m keeping my fingers crossed that you find a day cream that becomes your new favorite going forward! And if you need tips or ideas, you’re always welcome to reach out to us 💛 Have a wonderful day! 🌸
