Pretty okay, but no wow effect
I received this product as #lykoinflutester and have been testing it now for 14 days. Products like this, light peeling products with acids, are something I think is really nice; they are effective, easy to use, and don't require much time or knowledge. This one is a kind of thick cream that you just apply to your face and let it work for a minute - simple and straightforward. I've used this 2-3 times a week for the past two weeks. I've used it after cleansing, but before serum and moisturizer. It's quite thick and a bit clay-like in consistency, so it's not that easy to spread and feels a bit sticky. I started with a thin layer since I didn't know how my skin would react. But if you apply a slightly thick layer, it works fine! You experience a light warming sensation and very slight tingling - but it wasn't uncomfortable in any way. Since it only needs to work for a minute, you hardly have time to experience any "discomfort" before rinsing it off. I use a damp warm cloth to remove products like this, and it comes off easily. But I don't think I see any noticeable change or wow effect from this. I got a bit red in the face after each use, but I don't think either the pores got smaller or the black dots I have disappeared. It's possible that it's not effective enough...? For me, this becomes a somewhat unnecessary part of my routine, but it can definitely be a good starter product for those who want to begin with chemical peeling and want a simple and uncomplicated entry into this type of products! I still feel that my skin feels clean and nice after use, and that's always a plus :) #emmas1 product in post Pretty okay, but no wow effect75 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 3 out of 5Verifierad testare
Totally okay, but better as hand cream...
I have tested this cream, along with other products from Emma S., like #lykoinflutester! Lovely packaging, I love everything that is pink - and the cream comes in a very practical tube with a good screw cap that stays closed. I have normal skin with some lines, but now in the fall and winter my skin quickly gets dry, and I rely on good products that provide a lot of moisture. I have primarily used this cream at night, as I find it quite thick and a bit greasy. The consistency of the cream is thick and nice, but still easy to apply, and it also absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a film. You don't need much either; a pea-sized amount of cream is enough for the face, but if you also like to apply it to your neck and chest (like me), you double the amount. The skin feels soft and well-hydrated after a few minutes. So to what makes me take off two stars; the scent is very intense... It smells strongly of detergent/fabric softener and the smell lingers in the nose for a while. It does fade after a while, but I usually stay away from strongly perfumed face creams. I actually don't have sensitive skin at all, but I experienced getting small bumps on my cheeks and down my neck when I used this (I have used it in the evening/sometimes during the day for 14 days). The bumps were not red, but they were noticeable. I can only assume that it comes from the perfume in the product, as I have not experienced this reaction from my regular skincare products (which I have used in addition). So for me, I won't use this on my face anymore, but it is actually very good for the hands - even though it is not intended for that <3 #emmas1 product in post Totally okay, but better as hand cream...39 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
I really liked this!
I got to test this product along with two other products from Emma S. for a couple of weeks as #lykoinflutester <3 What I like about the packaging: - I have a weakness for pink... Everything pink goes straight home with me. So the bottle fits right into my aesthetic universe. - The screw cap is practical and easy to open, and it's easy to pour the product into my hand. - Plastic bottle that can withstand pressure and doesn't risk opening or breaking while traveling! Now to the product itself and its use. My skin is normal, but now in the fall I like a little extra moisture in my skincare routine, as the air gets cooler outside and drier and warmer inside. Since this is a moisturizing serum, it fits perfectly right now! Even though it says it's a facial water, this is a thin gel-like essence that is neither solid nor completely liquid, it reminds me a bit of a snail serum, if you're familiar with the consistency of that! It says you can use either your hands or a cotton pad to apply the product. I tried both; with cotton it just got messy and it was hard to distribute and rub it in properly. Use your hands, and - this is important: use a little! A couple of drops is enough for the whole face! It's super economical in use and feels fresh and moisturizing on the face. I also use it on my neck and down my chest for a little extra moisture and glow there too. I let it absorb for a couple of minutes before applying cream, and it doesn't pill up under the cream. I really liked this and will use it both morning and night throughout the fall and winter for a lovely moisture boost! The only thing that brings it down is the strong smell... It smells strongly of fabric softener (I think), so if I were to change anything, it would be that. And that's why I take away one star. But other than that; totally great! This bottle I will have all year round since it is so economical in use <3 #emmas1 product in post I really liked this!17 views - The post was made 2 monthsRating: 5 out of 5verified customer
Is a must!
I use spf50 year-round, and I use this as the last step in my makeup routine - after setting spray. It doesn't ruin the makeup and applies evenly over the face, neck, and chest - and is completely transparent! #lykoreview1 product in post Is a must!160 views - The post was made 2 monthsRating: 5 out of 5verified customer
Essence makes the best mascaras!
The Lash Princess mascaras (this one and the one in the green tube) have been my favorites for several years! They hold the curl after using an eyelash curler, give really good length and volume, and are unbeatable in price. They can flake a little after a long day, but that’s not a dealbreaker for me. I will continue to use this until I find a new and equally good favorite - which I don’t think will happen 🤭 #lykoreview1 product in post Essence makes the best mascaras!356 views - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 2 out of 5verified customer
Doesn't work...
Easy to apply and smells good in the 'tube' but that's about it... It's not an antiperspirant so it doesn't stop sweat odor, which I think should be the minimum requirement for a deodorant.. Additionally, it leaves stains on clothes. I prefer the red one (no. 40) which is much better and does what it's supposed to!1 product in post Doesn't work...670 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko.

One of the best!
I have used the color 'Pink Mirage' - as it was the only matte version of this blush that existed back then :) And to say it, I have tried the other version with shimmer and I didn't like it... But this matte!! Extremely pigmented, so use just a dot at a time! Super easy to blend out with a brush and gives a fantastic nice, slightly 'sunburnt' peach color that is lovely in the summer. I am someone who loves blush in general, but especially the cream or liquid versions, and I have tried most from many brands. Here you have blush for ages since you need so little at a time. I will definitely buy more colors (maybe all) when they become available, because here you get good quality and a lot for your money!!

Wow!
I didn't really know what to expect from this, but I bought it after coming across a Youtube video where it was praised like no other... It's not a miracle product, but I understand the hype! I use this as a toner after cleansing in the evening, to remove the last traces of cleansing product and makeup, and it works like a charm. The absolute best thing about this is how moisturizing it is! I put it on a cotton pad, and even with a little product, my skin feels so soft, clean, and hydrated afterwards. It's 'almost' like I don't need moisturizer! But just almost :) I also use it in the morning, before serum and cream. No scent, big bottle, and a lot of product - I'm going to keep using this!!

Favorite!
I LOVE this! It hydrates well under the eyes, is absolutely great under makeup, has a very good price with a lot of product for the money - in addition to retinol, which I swear by as someone in my 40s :) Highly recommended!1 product in post Favorite!3853 views - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
Lots of product - good price!
I got to test this micellar water as a LykoInflutester! A little about me and my routine: 40 years old, normal skin, and I wear makeup daily. I switch between light makeup and "full face" :) I have used micellar water/cleansing water for years and I rely on an effective product that can remove makeup from both eyes and skin. It is my go-to cleansing product, and I usually first remove makeup with cleansing water, rinse my face with water, and then go over with a toner afterwards to remove any leftover product and makeup. It has worked for me for years and I never get breakouts. I have a favorite from another brand that I have used for 10 years, so this product has a bit to live up to! First of all, the bottle is big - 500 ml!! And that is a big plus, especially when you use it daily! There is no scent to it, and I also like the bottle with its minimalist design. So for the use: I usually soak a cotton pad well with the product and use it on both eyes and face. It is not effective enough for me to remove eye makeup... Even regular, non-waterproof mascara is not removed well enough. Eyeshadow, on the other hand, comes off easily! But the reason it gets a high score from me is that it is absolutely great at removing cream and powder products from the face! It removes everything very easily and that is what makes this a star product in my eyes! My skin feels soft and clean afterwards, and it removes everything in a short time! I will continue to buy this when I run out because it works for my use and is cheap :) [hashtag] [hashtag]1 product in post Lots of product - good price!1122 views
