As a #influtester, I got to test the purifying series from #aco. I used the combination of booster serum, day cream, and night cream over a period. I have combination skin with both dry and oily areas and often get pimples even though I’m 36 years old, but I choose to think of them as teenage pimples 😉 I don’t have sensitive skin by definition, but I’m under investigation for MCAS as my skin can flare up unprovoked. This tends to happen when I change my skincare routine, but to my great joy, I didn’t react at all when testing this series! 🎉 First impression is that it’s a very sleek series with nice packaging. The fact that it’s fragrance-free is a plus since it also suits sensitive noses, so to speak. It would have gotten an even higher rating if the night cream had a pump bottle! But the cap is still easy to screw off and on. A little goes a long way, and that’s common for the whole series; you don’t need much product to spread it over the entire face. Unlike the rest of the series, I unfortunately felt that the night cream left a greasy layer on the skin. Granted, it’s good that it’s a bit richer if, like me, you toss and turn like a helicopter in bed 🙈, so the skin feels moisturized when you wake up. However, it still feels greasy even after the whole night, and I would have preferred to feel only moisturized without the greasy feeling in the morning, so to speak. It’s hard to separate the reviews when it comes to results since I used the series in combination. But what I noticed was that I initially got worse with more pimples, which I think is a completely normal reaction from the skin regardless of when you change your skincare routine. But it settled down after a while and went back to normal. Unfortunately, it’s normal for me to have some pimples, so it neither got better nor worse compared to before. Price-wise, I would say it’s a very good price for the amount you get. Will I switch my routine to this? Doubtful, since I didn’t get better results than my usual routine gives me, but I will use up all the products. For those looking for a new routine, I definitely think it’s worth trying and would recommend it. The double picture is before changing the skincare routine and a few days in. The single picture is after some time of use.1 product in post Pretty standard5 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 1 dayRating: 4 out of 5

That it is fragrance-free is a plus since it also suits sensitive noses, so to speak. The serum itself gets a slightly higher score because it has a handy pump bottle and I find it very nice not having to screw caps on and off. It also dispenses a good amount when you pump out the serum. A little goes a long way and that applies to the whole series; it doesn’t take much product to work it over the entire face. The serum is absorbed smoothly by the skin and doesn’t leave any strange residue or anything like that. It’s hard to separate the reviews when it comes to results since I used the series in combination. But what I noticed was that I first got worse with more pimples, which I think is a completely normal reaction from the skin regardless of when you change your skincare routine.

Pure magic!
As a #LYKOINFLUTESTER, I got to try this invisible+ patch from #HERO. I’ve been a big fan of acne patches for a while and recently have become a frequent user, testing several different brands. This one is definitely a top 3, I must say. Easy to apply, stays on well, and lasts all day even in sweaty heat waves 🥵👌. However, I’ve been plagued by pimples this summer that never really reach a mature stage, and unfortunately, these patches are pretty ineffective then. I’ve still used them, and they work well as a barrier to avoid picking and irritating more. This invisible variant also made the pimples less noticeable and hid them quite a bit. That said, I’ve had some that actually turned yellow, and that’s the stage when, according to the manufacturer, you should use these. They work great then! The patches really draw out the impurities once you get to that point, and afterwards a large part of the redness is gone too. This variant is truly invisible compared to the original patch, but otherwise, I’d say the products are equal in quality. I also think the price is reasonable, so I will definitely buy again. Picture 1 before and after patch on a mature pimple. Picture 2 both during use of the invisible patch! You can see it a bit clearer in the circled picture, but I promise the patch is on the upper one! 🤩1 product in post Pure magic!82 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

As a #lykoinflutester, I got to try this original patch from #hero. I have been a big fan of acne patches for a while and recently have become a frequent user, trying several different brands. This one is definitely a top 3, I must say. Easy to apply, stays on well, and doesn’t come off even if you’re a helicopter in bed when you sleep, and it does its job. However, I’ve been plagued by pimples this summer that never really reach a mature stage, and unfortunately, these patches are quite ineffective then. I have still used them, and they work well as a good barrier to avoid picking and further irritation.

The patches really draw out the impurities when you get to that point, and afterwards a large part of the redness is also gone. Feel free to check out my review of the invisible variant for clearer pictures after having one on a yellow pimple. This variant is a bit more visible than the invisible kind, but otherwise, I would say the products are equal in quality. I also think the price is reasonable, so I will definitely buy again.1 product in post Very satisfied116 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Not for me
I have, as #lykoinflutester, had the chance to try this nose patch from #hero. Unfortunately, it was not a hit for me, I have to say, and I will not buy it again. It might be that I am simply incompetent when it comes to application, but I found it very difficult to get it on properly. Every time I tried to remove the patch from the protective plastic, I managed to fold it at one end. So all applications ended with it being folded at least on one side. It wrinkled on my nose and also got stuck on my piercings (which of course is to be expected when you have your nose full of stuff 😅), but the combination of it being folded, wrinkled skin, and getting stuck on my jewelry became a sensory nightmare and I had to get up in the middle of the night to take off the patch to be able to sleep. At that point, the next nightmare began, you could say, "comes off gently" is not really something I can stand behind. It felt like I was tearing off my own skin at the same time 😱. I have tried both pulling quickly, prying slowly, and tried pulling on the side of the patch to "stretch" it off instead. Nothing gave a better result and the skin burned afterwards. This was simply not for me and I couldn't manage to test all the patches because it just hurt. Did it do what it was supposed to? Hard to say, I couldn't let them stay on as long as they should and the skin hurt so much after removal that I didn't even think about checking if the pores were smaller, unfortunately.1 product in post Not for me76 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Raspberry
As an influencer tester, I got to try products from Lumene, which happens to be one of my go-to brands already, so the excitement was total! My first impression was that the Lip Glow Oil Balm in the shade raspberry comes in a sleek packaging in the perfect size to carry in your bag if you want to touch up on the go. It’s easy to get just the right amount out with the applicator, and the design feels like it allows you to get the last drops out as well. Besides the beautiful design, it smells heavenly and tastes just as good, basically like a little dessert treat on your lips! The lips feel moisturized and soft for a long time, and the lip oil gives a nice subtle tint on the lips that lasts even longer. Even after eating and drinking all day, I felt there was a hint of color left on the lips, even though the gloss had of course disappeared. It feels like a perfect description that it shines like a gloss and moisturizes like a lip balm. I have nothing to complain about and will definitely try other shades as well. A real winner at my place, and I can’t think of a single negative aspect, or well, maybe that it’s hard not to lick your lips when it tastes like you have a bag of Saturday candy on you 🍭 #lykoinflutester #lumene1 product in post Raspberry471 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Shade 1.75
As an influencer, I got to test products from Lumene, which happens to be one of my go-to brands already, so the excitement was total! Especially since for several years now, I have exclusively used Lumene's CC cream instead of foundation. I tested the Blur Even Cover foundation in shade 1.75. I think it has a sleek packaging in a small and handy size. It also has a light liquid formula that's easy to get out of the packaging, though I'm really a sucker for tubes to really get the last bit out when you reach the end. It's described as "providing high even coverage with a light feel," and I can only agree. I'm generally very "rosy" in my face and have some pimples; the foundation does a perfect job covering that and preventing all my emotions from showing on my face, which easily happens when I get stressed or exert myself as everything flares up immediately. At the same time, my birthmarks are still visible, and it doesn't give a heavy or cakey feeling or look like a regular foundation does. For exactly that reason, I basically only use CC cream otherwise and never foundation, but this one hits all the points I'm after. This lady rarely goes for full glam these days, usually aiming for natural everyday makeup, which this one nails. It promises 16 hours of wear, and I have nothing to argue against; it holds up and looks just as nice right after applying makeup as after a tough night shift at work or a day in the sun. I've used it both with and without powder, mostly depending on whether I wanted a more matte look or a real summer glow. Either way, it stays put and lasts all day without any problems! #LYKOINFLUTESTER #LUMENE1 product in post Shade 1.75343 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Medium brown
As an influtester, I got to try products from Lumene, which happens to be one of my go-to brands already, so the excitement was total! Unfortunately, this product didn’t quite make it all the way and is actually the only one that doesn’t get full marks from me. But starting with the positive, as usual with Lumene, it has a sleek packaging, it’s easy to twist up the stick, and you get just the right amount to work with when applying. I think the shade is very nice and the product is easy to blend into the skin. It feels nice and doesn’t get cakey or leave sharp edges. Where it falls flat is that the color kind of disappears as soon as you start blending it into the skin, and even when you apply more, you don’t really get much color left. Maybe I simply chose the wrong shade, but I’m still quite pale since I work night shifts and haven’t caught any sun yet 💔, so going for the darkest shade didn’t feel quite right when I chose the shade, and that’s why I tried medium brown. I’m no makeup guru, but the multi/bronzer sticks I usually use simply give me a result I like better. Too bad, because Lumene is, as mentioned before, my go-to brand! #LYKOINFLUTESTER #LUMENE1 product in post Medium brown321 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Perfect everyday mascara
As #lykoinflutester, I got to test this mascara from #maxfactor. I had the luxury of heading off on a sunny vacation just when it was time for the product test, so it had to withstand both rain and summer heat at the same time, more thorough testing than that probably won't happen! To start with, I think it was a very nice and sleek packaging for the mascara on the outside. I was also very happy when I opened it because a rubber brush is my favorite applicator for mascara. It gave just the right amount of product, was a good black shade, and felt perfectly “wet” if you understand what I mean. Some mascaras seem to be dried out even before you open them for the first time. I don't have much to cheer for my own lashes, or rather, they are there in terms of quantity, but they are light, short, and don't give any direct oomph! One stroke gave an immediate lift and worked well for everyday use🤩. It was possible to build it up a bit, but it didn't give huge volume. The length, however, was immediately noticeable that it delivered results. As I said, I have had the chance to use it in both rain and sun, and it holds up well without smudging, what I did experience was that it became dry and flaked off in small pieces after a few hours. I assume that has to do with the formula that is supposed to make it easily slide off in fibers when you wash it off. What surprised me, however, was that it could be “scratched” out of the eyes dry, and it flaked off easily, but when I actually wanted to wash it off with just warm water, which is supposed to work, it did exactly like other mascaras and turned gray/black under the eyes, which was hard to remove without any form of cleansing. So instead, I had to rub properly and eventually resort to taking out my cleansing anyway. Summary: - nice design - easy to apply - gives immediate good length - does not settle under the eyes or run off in its entirety. - does not start to run off in the rain. - becomes dry and starts to flake - is not as easy to wash off as it claims - does not give volume if that is what you are looking for in a mascara. Price-wise, definitely worth it, I would say. Neither the most expensive nor the cheapest on the market, and it holds most of what it promises. Even though it’s a bit disappointing that it becomes so dry and flakes off by the afternoon, I prefer that over a formula that just runs off and settles as streaks or larger color spots under the eyes. Overall, a mascara I can recommend and will use again! 👌 Picture 1: top without mascara, middle after one application, bottom after stroke number 2. Picture 2: how it settles around the eyes when it flakes after a day's use. Picture 3: how it looks with one stroke, perfect everyday look if you want a lift but don’t want to fully make up.1 product in post Perfect everyday mascara396 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator.
