Sweet blind date acquaintance
My friend and I have made customized cosmetic advent calendars for each other over the past couple of years according to our wishes. I received this multifunctional product as a gift from my friend after wishing for something good for lips + cheeks in my calendar — I expected a cream stick but got a super cute macaron instead! It has happily become a regular companion in my makeup bag, as “Baby” is the perfect shade for a cool, light lime ship captain like me. My friend did her detective work well 🕵️♀️ As a mousse, the product is easy to apply either in a thin and sheer layer (for me, this cool light pink looks like a natural blush, which is perfect for a no-makeup makeup look) or layered for a deeper, mauve-tinged cool pink (in the picture). The matte finish is neither drying nor does it settle into fine lines, but is misty and light. Despite daily use, there is still plenty of product left, and it hasn’t dried out in its container, as often happens with such textures. I understand why this became a viral hit. The price is just quite high, with only five grams of blush in the glass packaging. It’s a big promise for a fairly new brand to compete in the same price range as color cosmetics veterans like Mac, Nars, and Anastasia. #lykoreview1 product in post Sweet blind date acquaintance39 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

A pretty good product with a lot of markup
The product is a fragrance-free and moisturizing collagen serum for the skin around the eyes. The pump mechanism on the packaging dispenses the product quite generously, and for me, one pump is enough for both eyes. Even with this usage, the serum runs out in less than a month when I use it morning and night. The result is pretty good; the skin around the eyes looks hydrated and rested. I don’t notice any significant smoothing effect on fine lines. I was surprised when I saw the product’s regular price. I bought mine as part of the brand’s introductory box, where you could get three different full-size products very affordably. 30€ / 10ml is a lot, considering how much competition there is in the K-beauty market. I think other Korean cosmetic brands (like mixsoon, Cosrx, Beauty of Joseon, Some By Mi...) offer similar products at a much better price. I wouldn’t buy the product again without a significant discount; it wasn’t that amazing. #lykoreview1 product in post A pretty good product with a lot of markup89 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Good product, but preferably choose the tube packaging
This is definitely worth trying if you’re looking for a budget-friendly, fragrance-free, moisturizing, and soothing cream. It’s gel-like and thin, and absorbs quickly. For those who wear makeup, the cream leaves a nice, slightly “grippy” feel on the skin, so you don’t necessarily need a separate primer. The tube is a more hygienic packaging than a jar since you don’t have to take the product with your fingers. The cream is liquid enough that using a separate spatula for dosing would be a bit difficult. #lykoreview1 product in post Good product, but preferably choose the tube packaging457 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

One-star time travel to the upper grade
I bought the product while traveling after forgetting my usual foundation at home. Mistake! I don’t know whether to cry or laugh. A product that, when applied, is eerily reminiscent of the Dream matte mousse from years ago, definitely does not conceal small skin imperfections but highlights them. It settles into lines and dries out strongly. One star because the product somehow fulfills its anti-age promise — in the mirror, the same embarrassed fifteen-year-old girl looks back at me, whose makeup is clumsy, cakey, and oxidized. #lykoreview1 product in post One-star time travel to the upper grade232 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Pampering vibe for special mornings, not for routine
These hydrogel patches were especially refreshing when stored in the fridge 🧊 There is plenty of treatment liquid in the package, and you can let some of it drip off the patches if you want them to stay in place. Since using the patches is its own operation and an extra step in facial cleansing, I ended up not using them very regularly. Besides the cooling sensation, I didn’t notice any special effect on the skin around the eyes, like improved color or softened fine lines, which the promised “younger-looking gaze” might suggest. To improve the condition of the eye area, it might be better to invest in a good eye cream, which can more easily become a long-lasting part of morning and evening routines. These were a nice treat and an okay first experience with eye patches, but I feel I get better benefits from serums and creams. #lykoreview1 product in post Pampering vibe for special mornings, not for routine1964 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Multipurpose fragrance spray does not meet expectations
The glass bottle is beautiful and the spray is finely misted. The sweet citrus scent doesn’t really develop or live on the skin before it disappears. It lingers a bit longer on hair and textiles, which is why this composition might be better suited as a mood-setting room fragrance. Rituals could launch a fabric softener or textile spray with the Mehr series scent, as they have done with some of their other lines. I would compare this scent’s strength and longevity to TBS body sprays, and compared to that, the price of €25/50 ml seems too high to me. Since the slim bottle is easy to carry around and can be reapplied throughout the day, this could be a nice product for Mehr series fans to layer their favorite scent. However, I will personally invest in a different product going forward. #lykotestpilot #rituals1 product in post Multipurpose fragrance spray does not meet expectations164 views lavandula

Indulgent shower oil at a good price
This shower oil is quite liquid, which is good to keep in mind when dosing it. On the skin, the oil foams only a little, and I think that’s a good sign — not too many foaming agents have been used to create a washing effect. Compared to other Ritual of Mehr products I’ve tested, this one has the best scent — the oil’s fragrance is mild and subtly luxurious. The cedarwood I missed in the hand cream and fragrance spray from the series comes out better in the shower oil. This could also suit users sensitive to fragrances, although preferences are always individual. I’ve been using the product for a couple of weeks now and found it good both for regular showering and with an exfoliating brush or glove. Especially when used for exfoliation, the skin feels wonderfully smooth and soft after the oil. The packaging is both beautiful and convenient to use. I received the product, and after this trial, I could buy it again. #lykotestpilot #rituals1 product in post Indulgent shower oil at a good price143 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Rich and long-lasting cream for fragrance lovers
The product is, as the name suggests, a balm for dry hands — the cream is thick like a body butter. However, it spreads well and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy or sticky feeling. A pea-sized amount is enough for both hands and elbows. The hands feel well moisturized until the next hand wash. The scent is strong and lingers on the skin for a good while. The citrus scent is indeed sweet and reminds me more of mandarin than orange. The warm and piney cedarwood is present mostly as an impression. I'm not the biggest fan of sweet scents, and I don't really care for how much of a "statement" this scent makes. After a couple of weeks of use, I find that I really like the feel of the cream; my cuticles practically love it. I would give this product full marks if it weren't so heavily fragranced. For the most sensitive skin and fragrance-sensitive people, the scent might be too much, which is a pity because the product is so nourishing. For fans of the Ritual of Mehr fragrance family, this is probably a bullseye. I have received the product, but I also think its price-quality-quantity ratio is good — a 70 ml tube lasts a long time even with daily use. #lykotestpilot #rituals1 product in post Rich and long-lasting cream for fragrance lovers136 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Decent intimate oil but doesn't reach the top of its price range
I've used many different moisturizing and soothing intimate wash products. I have my go-to favorites, but I also like to give new acquaintances a chance sometimes. This product arrived to me in a plastic package, unlike the product and review pictures on the online store. Maybe the manufacturer is switching to new packaging. The lemongrass scent is really strong to me, as is the oil's own characteristic smell. I might be alone with this trauma, but the combination reminds me of a spoonful of fish oil, which is a bit off-putting. Fortunately, the scent doesn't linger strongly on the skin. The washing effect is quite good and the feeling is also fairly moisturizing. In this price range, however, this product is a disappointment. It seems like you're mostly paying for the branding, not for a mind-expanding user comfort. For this price, I could have gotten two basic good unscented intimate wash oils from the pharmacy. #lykoreview1 product in post Decent intimate oil but doesn't reach the top of its price range720 views
