    Redness

    Loved the cream. Sinks in perfectly and hydrates. But I have a recurring problem and that is that I get red. I also get very red from the same brand's glow serum. I think I might be sensitive to niacinamides?

      Hey Michaela 👋😊 So lovely that you loved the Dynasty Cream – it’s truly a favorite for many 🤍 But that you’re experiencing redness is understandably not as lovely, and it’s wise that you’re reflecting on the ingredients. Both the Dynasty Cream and Glow Serum contain niacinamide, and while it’s a fantastic ingredient for many, it can in some cases cause redness or irritation – especially with sensitive skin or at high concentrations 😌 We recommend that you: - Pause usage for a while and let your skin recover - Test a small amount of product behind your ear or on your jawline before continuing - Keep an eye out for products without niacinamide if you suspect it’s the culprit All the best and good luck!

    Continue or not?

    I usually have pretty oily and acne-prone skin. I also have a lot of whiteheads. With this product, I get super nice skin on the first day and then BAM mega pimples that hurt so much. It's like they settle deeper. Then I also become very dry. I don't know if I should continue with the product anyway? Some products cause breakouts at first as a detox, right? But I also get very dry. Could it help to use Vaseline in the evenings?

      Hey Michaela! 👋 It seems like your skin is reacting a bit negatively to the product. When testing a new product, the skin can sometimes go through a cleansing phase where temporary pimples appear that disappear after 4-6 weeks as active ingredients speed up cell renewal. However, if you get several new pimples over a longer period, which are very painful, it might be that the product doesn't really suit your skin 🤭 Since you also get dry from the product, petroleum jelly can help lock in moisture but doesn't provide any deep hydration itself. I would therefore recommend that you stop using the product for a while and let your skin recover 🤭 Be sure to moisturize with a mild, non-comedogenic moisturizer like this one: lyko.com/sv/la-roche-posay/la-roche-posay-effaclar-h-iso-biome-creme-40-ml I would also recommend that you take our skin test so we can look over your skincare routine and which products might suit your skin type 🤩 You can find the test via this link that goes directly to our app, if you have it downloaded and are logged in: lyko.com/sv/beauty-scan2 Take care! 🎈
