Works for real
Wow! I can notice a difference! I had another serum with a lower % niacinamide in it, and didn’t notice any difference in pore size - so I didn’t think this would work either. But it does! I bought this after a recommendation and thought I was imagining an improvement already after 1 week (using morning + evening), but after 2 weeks I really see an effect. I have always had oily skin and large pores on my forehead, on my nose, and on my cheeks near my nose). Due to medication, it has gotten even worse, so I have felt quite desperate before I found this. Over the years, I have developed pigment spots and now I am quite sure that I have melasma (I have had a large dark and stubborn spot on my forehead for 2 years), but they have become lighter since I started using niacinamide. This serum is stronger than my previous one and it shouldn’t need to be stronger to have an effect both for pore size and brightening - I can confirm that it actually works! I highly recommend this serum, but if you have never tried niacinamide before, you should gradually ease into it, don’t just slap it on morning and evening like I did. Alternatively, you should start with a milder product before you switch to this one. Previously, I used Puritos "Wonder Releaf Centella Serum Unscented" which contains a lower percentage of niacinamide and was very gentle and kind to my dry skin. But I didn’t think it helped with pore size even though I used it for many months, I think I was on my 3rd package when I got this. On the evenings I use BHA acid (2%) I let it sink in completely - at least 20 minutes, before I apply the serum. Otherwise, the BHA acid and niacinamide cancel each other out, and I want to get maximum effect from both (otherwise it’s unnecessary to use the products). After the serum, so far it has been enough with Puritos "Hydro Wave Deep Sea Cream", but I’ll see how dry I get in the fall and winter. Then I’ll probably switch to something creamier for the night.1 product in post Works for real38 viewsto leave a comment - 3 weeksRating: 4 out of 5verified customer
Base in my skincare routine
I've had a really hard time finding a moisturizer that doesn't clog or make me look like a butter package, but this one doesn't feel on the skin. It dries in quickly. I also use it at night in the summer. Medications have worsened my oily and acne-prone skin, so I unfortunately get shiny from everything I've tried, but this one feels the best. My skin thrives best on By Wishtrends mandelic acid, Puritos Centella serum, and this as a finishing moisturizer. If I feel spotty dry in the evening, I have The Ordinary's squalane drops right there as an extra addition. I got very clogged and got pimples from sunscreen, and thanks to this being part of my base routine that I can "fall back" on, my skin calmed down quite quickly. I would have liked a larger packaging!1 product in post Base in my skincare routine117 viewsto leave a comment - 3 weeksRating: 5 out of 5verified customer
Mild and Effective
Due to medication, my already oily skin has become extremely oily and even more acne-prone. I have become yttdry and even more sensitive than I was before, which is why I was very hesitant to try exfoliation - but it worked really well! This is mild and at the same time very effective on my skin! I started with 1 evening/week and then ramped up to 2 evenings/week. I noticed quick improvement in my skin; not as much acne and small blemishes! Unfortunately, I didn't get to use it more often because the spring sun started to peek out and mandelic acid makes the skin more sun-sensitive, so I switched to a mild BHA acid, but I will switch back in the fall as my skin really liked this!1 product in post Mild and Effective670 viewsto leave a comment - 3 weeksRating: 2 out of 5
Super Shiny
Unfortunately, I don't like it at all as I look super oily from it. I've tried different ways, letting the serum dry completely before applying/not waiting until the serum has dried, but I get the same result. I waited for the product to "dry in" for several hours, but I look super fat and oily from it. I really wanted to like it, but unfortunately, it doesn't suit me (I have sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin with large pores). The only positive is that it lasts about 10 hours. Most other sunscreens need to be reapplied every two hours to maintain the same protection, but with this one, you don't have to.1 product in post Super Shiny185 views- Farmaceut på Lyko3 weeksHey Louise✨ I see that you got a super nice tip, and to answer your question, this one from Eucerin provides broad UVA/UVB protection with a UVA-PF (PPD) of around 20, corresponding to at least 80% UVA protection. It is in line with EU requirements and well-established as an effective sunscreen for oily and acne-prone skin. Hope you enjoy it better and that you have a really lovely Friday🌞1 likes

UVA/PA protection
Hi! How high is the UVA/PA protection in this? In numbers, not in count "+". And how long does it last? Do you have to reapply every two hours or does the sunscreen last longer?1 product in post UVA/PA protection - 7 months
Prostaglandin in the content
Hi! It says that it should be free from prostaglandins, but it contains Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 (which is classified as a prostaglandin since it is a derivative). Has the formula changed or does it simply contain prostaglandins even though it says it shouldn't? Thanks in advance! Best regards, Louise1 product in post Prostaglandin in the content2444 views- Customer service at Lyko7 monthsHey Louise! Myristoyl Tetrapeptide-12, Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16, and Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 are common ingredients in eyelash and eyebrow serums that stimulate hair growth without using prostaglandin. They are a mild and gentle ingredient and suitable for those who are sensitive ☺️ Have the best!
