Good hydration, but not much more than that
Nice, smooth, and classic The Ordinary packaging that makes it easy to get a good amount of product. Clear and economical serum where a little goes a long way. Spreads well over the face but leaves a bit of a film that I find disappears quickly after applying moisturizer. I feel that my face feels hydrated right away, but not in a more effective way than a classic face cream. But for the price, I can feel that it does a relatively cost-effective job of boosting moisture. I have combination skin and rarely need to add such things, but on cold and dry days, it has been a nice complement. I see no noticeable change in my skin regarding elasticity and firmness during the time I've tried it, but I can imagine buying it for winter to get that little extra boost of moisture. #lykoinflutester #theordinaryTranslated from swedish

Lovely serum
Clear, water-like serum that really melts into the skin in a lovely way. Smooth and classic The Ordinary bottle makes it easy to get the product out (which also doesn’t smell like anything). It’s also economical and lasts a long time. Big plus! I have combination skin with an oilier T-zone, and some serums tend to highlight the T-zone in a less pleasant way, but this one really lays perfectly over the whole face. Disappears right into the skin, which feels hydrated. Haven’t noticed that it had any major effect on fine lines, unfortunately (about 4 weeks can be seen as a relatively short time to have such an effect). But I do think it has had an effect on lifting the skin tone, which looks fresher. Super lovely serum that really suits my skin type. Just for the boost in skin tone, I think it’s worth the money, so it will probably end up in the bathroom cabinet again when this one runs out. #lykoinflutester #theordinaryTranslated from swedish

Lightly Moisturizing
The 100ml bottle is nice and sleek. I'm a bit critical of the very small cap that has a tendency to fly away all over the bathroom 😅 The essence is clear and application is smooth with a cotton pad. Smells neutral and very little. The product also lasts a long time. I have combination skin with an oily T-zone, and the essence sits well over the entire face. It neither becomes shiny nor sticky. The skin feels lightly moisturized. However, it is difficult to assess whether it has had an effect on improving the absorption of other active ingredients. I don't notice any significant difference other than that, but it is very possible that it will show effects with more time. At the moment, it feels mostly like an extra step in the skincare routine. So in summary, it's a perfectly okay essence that gives a nice boost of moisture but doesn't impress much more than that (than). #lykoinflutester #theordinaryTranslated from swedish

Fresh and Masculine
Good first impression. Nice packaging with a handy screw cap that makes it easy to take along without the risk of the cap coming off. Also a convenient spray function. The scent is fresh and masculine. Not as heavy and masculine as many Hugo Boss perfumes can be (for me), but feels like Hugo Boss quality. Not entirely to my taste as it is too intense, but I appreciate it and think it would appeal to someone who wants to stand out scent-wise. I find that the scent holds well after longer use, even though I personally would have preferred it to become less intense after some time. So overall a pleasant perfume with many good qualities, even if it’s not a perfect match for me. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #HUGOBOSS #BOSSTranslated from swedish

Pretty okay wax
A pretty okay wax that simply doesn't work that well for my hair and length. Nice packaging and the wax melts relatively quickly in the hands and distributes easily through the hair. For my quite heavy and straight hair, the wax doesn't work very well to shape a hairstyle without it falling apart. The result is definitely better with a pre-styler (for example, saltwater spray). Not a wax I dare to take too much of, as it can easily give a slightly greasy look. If you have something thinner and more manageable hair, I can imagine the wax works much better. It doesn't feel heavy in the hair and washes out easily, which is appreciated. It also smells very fresh (very unisex scent), although it is a bit strong for me. In summary, a pretty okay hair wax with many good qualities, even if it might not be a perfect match for my hair. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #WATERCLOUDSTranslated from swedish

Good as a Pre-Styler
I thought I would totally dismiss this right away since I'm not at all fond of hair gel, but it still managed to impress me. Nice packaging and the product comes out smoothly without too much or too little product. Smells good and fresh. Distributes easily in the hair (even though it might need a bit more for a wet look). Initially, I tried to use it as a classic hair gel, and even though I have a lot of hair, it's thin, which results in seeing the scalp in a not-so-aesthetically pleasing way.. Probably works great for thick hair. Instead, I tried using it as a pre-styler where I apply it to the hair and blow-dry it dry. The result was good with nice shine and good volume. With a bit of hair wax, the result was really good. The hair feels a bit product-y but not crispy as I had expected. The downside is that it takes a long time to blow-dry, so I will probably still lean towards a saltwater spray, but for slightly fancier occasions, I can definitely see myself using this. In summary, I am impressed with it as a pre-styler, but as a classic hair gel, it simply becomes the wrong match for my hair. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #WATERCLOUDSTranslated from swedish

Very good saltwater spray
I have had positive impressions during the weeks I have tried this. It gives good texture to the hair and for my heavy hair, it also helps to provide necessary volume. Nice bottle with a well-functioning pump. Distributes the spray well over the hair. Doesn't feel sticky, and when the hair is blow-dried, it gets good texture. I have quite heavy and a lot of hair, so the saltwater spray alone is not enough, but as a first step, I am impressed with what it achieves. Provides a good base for hair wax, and the hairstyle lasts longer than when I go without the saltwater spray. I also experience no irritation in the scalp, which I have previously had with other brands of saltwater spray. The only negative I experience is the scent, which is a bit too sweet and strong and lingers a bit longer than desired. In summary, I find that it is a very good saltwater spray that probably suits many hair types. Works great as a pre-styler for me. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #WATERCLOUDSTranslated from swedish

Good Moisturization
A good face cream that dries quickly and probably suits best for those with oily/combination skin type. Handy packaging where application is easy. Smells very neutral. Maybe not as economical as one might wish from a face cream, but if you jazz it up with serum or similar, it will probably last longer. It melts nicely into the skin and leaves a pleasant feeling. Feels not heavy and does not become shiny. Sufficiently moisturizing in the T-zone, but especially now in winter, I can feel that a bit more moisture is needed. Haven't had time to use it particularly long, but I'm positively inclined so far. Unlike the Cleanser and Gleam Drops from the same brand, this face cream doesn't feel as worth the price in comparison. #lykoinflutester #plyskinTranslated from swedish

Moisturizing and economical
Positively surprised by this cleanser. It lathers up quickly and leaves the skin moisturized and clean. I have a bit of a combination skin type with an oily T-zone, but I feel that this works well to leave the face clean without feeling dry. It has a mild, neutral scent which is appreciated. The bottle is sleek and I was initially surprised by how little pumps out, but the product is really economical so one pump is enough for the whole face. I haven't used it long enough to see any changes, but it definitely feels like a good and affordable cleanser. #lykoinflutester #plyskinTranslated from swedish

Moisturizing serum that gives glow
The little I’ve managed to use this, I’m positively inclined towards it. It feels moisturizing and I think it gives a lighter glow, depending on usage. I’ve mainly used it in combination with their face cream where I mix in gleam drops. This gives a lighter glow without feeling like you have makeup/glitter or anything. You look moisturized and fresh. I’ve also tried the drops on their own but find that the glitter effect becomes too intense as you can see the glitter a bit too clearly in the right light and it gives a shine that doesn’t suit me. A matter of taste of course, but not a look I’m after. But as I said, I prefer it in combination with the face cream. It doesn’t smell like anything and the bottle is convenient to use for application. If you only use a few drops in the face cream, it also becomes very economical to use. Positive first impression, even though the feeling isn’t wow. But definitely a fun product that I will continue to use. #lykoinflutester #plyskinTranslated from swedish
