Hi
Can this be used with retinol?1 product in post Hi309 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 1 weekHey Malin! Yes — COSRX The Ceramide Skin Barrier Moisturizer can definitely be used with retinol! 💛 It’s actually a really good companion product to retinol because it: ✔ provides good and long-lasting moisture, ✔ strengthens the skin's protective barrier, ✔ and helps to reduce irritation and redness that can come from using retinol. 💡 Here’s how to best combine with retinol -Cleanse your skin as usual. -Apply the retinol serum/product first, and let it absorb (usually 1–3 min). -Finish with the Ceramide Skin Barrier Moisturizer to "blow in" moisture and soothe the skin. Have a lovely day ahead💌

Hi
Can I use this together with retinol?1 product in post Hi77 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 1 weekHey Malin! Yes — you can use Face Formula Acticlear Advanced Skin Therapy together with retinol, but there are a few things that are good to know to avoid irritation: ✔️ How to best combine them Use Acticlear first, as a treatment for blemishes/blackheads, and let it fully absorb before applying retinol. Then you can use the retinol product as usual. ✔️ Why this works Acticlear is formulated to work against blemishes and improve the skin's surface, and it is generally mild enough to be combined with active ingredients like retinol — as long as the skin can tolerate it. ✔️ Important tips 🌿 Start slowly if you haven't used retinol before — begin with 1-2 times a week. 🌿 Ensure good moisture and protection (e.g. a mild moisturizer). 🌞 Always use sun protection during the day (SPF 30+). Retinol makes the skin more sensitive to light. Have a lovely day ahead💌

Hi
Can I use this 2 times a week and use The Retinol 0.1 Cream 20 ml on the other days?1 product in post Hi299 views- The user's roll: Skin therapist at Lyko. The comment was made 3 weeksHeihei 👋 Retinol builds results over time, and "more is not necessarily better." A gradual, patient increase often yields better results with fewer irritations 👌 I would therefore recommend that you start to gradually introduce the retinol 0.1 cream into your skincare routine, until your skin possibly tolerates using it every night. Note that this can take up to 2-3 months. After that, you can introduce the oil 1 night a week, and as needed, you can use it 2 times a week along with the 0.1 cream on the other days. PS - Avoid strong acids (AHA/BHA), benzoyl peroxide, and vitamin C on the same night as retinol — these can cause extra irritation. - SPF every day! Retinol makes the skin more light-sensitive. - If you notice warmth, stinging, persistent redness, or extensive peeling — reduce usage or take a break. Here it is important to remember that every skin is different, everyone experiences different effects/impacts from product use - and since I do not have insight into your skin type or condition, as well as information about which products you are using otherwise, this is a general recommendation 🕵️♀️ Wishing you a nice day ahead 💓

Hi
What is the difference between this and the High Performance Face Formula?1 product in post Hi1090 views- The user's roll: Skin therapist at Lyko. The comment was made 3 weeksHeihei 👋 Both Niactil 4% and High Performance Face Formula from Elixir are moisturizing and contain niacinamide, but they have slightly different focuses: -Niactil 4% is well-suited for acne-prone skin, as it contains salicylic acid (BHA) which helps to combat clogged pores and impurities. -High Performance Face Formula is a bit milder and focuses more on providing glow, evening out skin tone, and strengthening the skin barrier, thanks to ingredients like succinic acid and squalane. The choice depends on what your skin needs – more deep cleansing and pore reduction (Niactil) or more glow and balancing (High Performance Face Formula) 🙌 Wishing you a nice day ahead 💓

Does this leave yellow stains on white clothes?1 product in post Hi85 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 3 weeksHey Malin 😊 This shouldn't leave stains on clothes, but the fabric of the garment can react differently with the contents of the deodorant. Have a lovely day ahead!
