  Works

  I've been using it for about 2 weeks now, morning and night, and I can see a difference. Fewer breakouts have appeared and my skin feels better. #lykoreview

  More Serums?

  Hey! Can this be used as my only serum after application? Or do I need to have a complementary serum in addition to this? Right now I’m using toner from Klaris, then Vichy’s serum, then 345 skin cream. Cleansing with CeraVe hydrating cleanser. I would love to add a retinol product to my routine for a more even and pore-free surface... Does this work together then?

    Hi Engla😊 This can be used as a standalone serum in the evening after acclimation, but I always recommend alternating with moisture, so the best thing is to choose 2-3 evenings and then use a moisturizing serum on the other evenings so that the skin has a chance to recover in between. Experiment and see how your skin feels. Feel free to wait with retinol until autumn, as the skin can become sun-sensitive from this ingredient, also be careful with sun protection during the day regardless. Wishing you good luck with your skincare and a really nice day🌞

  So im planning on purchasing: blemish control cleanser Blemish control gel Resurfacing retinol serum How should I use these correctly? What order? Should I swap any product with another one from cerave? I have acne and a lot of blackheads! Will this help?

    Hi Nadja 😊👋 Both the cleanser and the blemish gel contain BHA. The cleanser can be used a few times a week to exfoliate the skin, but using it daily might be too much. Exfoliating with this type of cleanser one to two evenings before applying retinol can help boost the effects of the retinol, but this also depends entirely on your skin type, age, and sensitivity. Retinol also isn’t usually recommended during summer, as it can increase the skin’s sensitivity. The gel shouldn’t be combined with retinol either, as that might be too harsh. Instead, it can be used as a spot treatment when needed, on separate days or at different times. I’d really recommend trying our free skin test, it makes it much easier to recommend the right products in the right order based on your skin type 😊 Everyone helping you is a trained and licensed skin therapist or pharmacist 😍👌 You can find the test here: lyko.com/sv/beauty-scan2 All the best! 💛

  When should it be used?

  Should this be used before or after the blemish control gel?

    Hey Severine 💞 👉 First Resurfacing Retinol Serum 👉 Then Blemish Control Gel (once the retinol has had a chance to absorb a bit) 👉 Finish with moisturizer Feel free to start using them every other night or just one at a time at first, so your skin doesn’t get irritated. And most importantly – don’t forget sunscreen during the day! 🌞💫 Wishing you a great day ahead🌸

  The whole series

  I've been using the series for about a year now and have gone from a "problematic skin" to feeling like it's at its best 🥳

  Retinol

  Hi! I don't quite understand the different strengths. What can you recommend that is a bit stronger than this?

    Hi! Thanks for asking 😊 CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum contains a milder retinoid (encapsulated retinol), which is well-suited for sensitive or acne-prone skin. If you want something a bit stronger, but still focused on skin texture and a more even skin tone, we can recommend: 🔹 The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane – a noticeably stronger step up in concentration, while also nourishing the skin with squalane oil: lyko.com/sv/the-ordinary/the-ordinary-retinol-0.5--in-squalane-30ml 🔹 La Roche-Posay Retinol B3 Serum – contains pure retinol and retinol booster (retinyl palmitate), but balanced with soothing ingredients like niacinamide and vitamin B3: lyko.com/sv/la-roche-posay/la-roche-posay-la-roche-posay-retinol-b3-serum-30-ml?fromsearch=La%2BRoche-Posay%2BRetinol%2BB3%2BSerum Both are good alternatives with more active content – just remember to gradually increase usage and always use SPF during the day 🌞 Feel free to let us know if you need help choosing based on skin type!

  Retinol-Retinal-Tretinoin

  Hi, I have been using this for about 3 years now; it’s a nice one. Though I like this, it’s seriously time to upgrade to a stronger one maybe. Which one do you recommend? I couldn’t find Tretinoin or Adapalene atleast in Norway.

    Now I’m really upset that I didn’t take a before picture. Because the cheeks were full of inflammation and really red, and there were already marks from the acne. We were already desperate. Then I remembered this product, which isn’t really recommended for a 15-year-old, but as a mother and cosmetologist, I took responsibility for using the product. And the result is astonishing. So happy for the girl! She has suffered a lot from the damage caused by acne, even socially. Now the skin is going in a better direction. Such an amazing product! ❤️

    Hi Marianne 👋 I see that you already have many good products that give you a great starting point for a balanced skincare routine. Here’s a simple and effective morning and evening routine tailored to the products you have and your age 🌞 Morning routine: Cleanser: CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser Moisture serum: Revox Just Hyaluronic Acid 5% Vitamin + Barrier care: Revox Just Niacinamide 10% Moisturizer with SPF: CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion AM SPF 30 🌙 Evening routine (alternating days): 💪Routine A – Exfoliating (2-3 times a week): -CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser -Revox Just Glycolic Acid 7% (Toner) Apply with a cotton pad. Wait a few minutes before the next step. Note: Do not combine with retinol the same night. -Revox Hyaluronic Acid -CeraVe PM Moisturizer 💪Routine B – Retinol night (2-3 times a week – not the same day as A): -Cleanser -Revox Hyaluronic Acid -CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum Start with 2 times a week and gradually increase. Avoid glycolic acid the same night. -CeraVe PM Moisturizer - To soothe and strengthen the skin after retinol. 💪Routine C – Recovery night (the rest of the weekdays): -Cleanser -Revox Hyaluronic Acid -Revox Niacinamide (optional) -CeraVe PM Moisturizer ‼️Tips for starting: -Retinol and glycolic acid can be active and cause some redness at first. Use only one active ingredient at a time in the evening. -Listen to your skin – if you feel dry or irritated, use only cleanser and moisture for a few days. -Sunscreen every day is crucial when using retinol or acids. Wishing you a nice day ahead 💓
