Bra retinol, bra pris!
Gillar dennna retinol väldigt mycket, den gör sitt jobb och känns inte kletig eller obekväm på huden. #lykoreview8189 views - The post was made 3 daysRating: 5 out of 5verified customer

✨✨✨
I have been using COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream, and Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun SPF50 for about a month, and I already see a big difference! ✨ My skin feels hydrated, soft, and has gained a fantastic glow. I also notice that my skin looks calmer and more even. I am super happy with all three products and will definitely continue using them. Highly recommended! 🤍274 views - The post was made 3 weeks

Serum pairing recommendation?
Can you recommend a good water based serum to use underneath this to hydrate and prevent irritation? Ll700 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 1 monthHello Erin! 👋 Absolutely! A great option is The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5. It’s a lightweight serum that provides hydration and helps support the skin barrier, making it a perfect match underneath Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion to help minimize dryness and irritation 💧 lyko.com/sv/the-ordinary/the-ordinary-hyaluronic-acid-2-b5 Take care! 🩷1 likes

Store in the refrigerator?
Hi! ☺️ I saw on the packaging that this serum should be stored in the refrigerator. I've kept it in the fridge at home, but I wonder what happens if you don't keep it in the fridge? ☺️ It gets a bit difficult when, for example, you are traveling ✨😸1234 views- The user's roll: Skin therapist at Lyko. The comment was made 2 monthsHi Åsa 😊 If the serum has ever been left out at room temperature, it doesn’t necessarily mean it has gone bad right away. What mainly can happen is that the active ingredient gradually loses some of its effectiveness faster than planned. If the product has been stored cool, dark, and not exposed to heat or direct sunlight, there’s usually no reason to worry, so it works just as well as with proper storage! Have a great day! 🌼 Please continue to store it in the fridge going forward to give the product the best possible shelf life and effect.1 likes

Product combo
Hi! Can this product be used together with these? ☺️2039 views- The user's roll: Employees at Lyko. The comment was made 4 monthsHello there Åsa! 👋 Yes, they work really well together. They complement each other nicely 🩷 Hyaluronic acid moisturizes the skin and reduces the risk of dryness from the retinoid, while niacinamide helps to soothe the skin and balance sebum production 👌 A good way to use them is to apply hyaluronic acid first, then niacinamide, and finish with the retinoid in the evening. If you have sensitive skin, you can start by using the retinoid every other evening and see how your skin reacts! Don’t forget to use SPF during the day, as retinoids make the skin more sensitive to the sun 🌞 All the best!3 likes

In what order do I combine retinoid and argireline
Hi! I bought this and understood that I should follow my usual routine but insert this between essence and moisturizer. So cleansing - essence - retinoid - moisturizer (+spf), but I also use Argireline solution 10% from The Ordinary, where in the routine should I put it?😬1910 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 4 monthsHello Sanna! 😊 The evening routine works best with cleansing, essence, then Argireline Solution 10% first (spot treat the areas you want to focus on), then let the serum absorb for at least 30 seconds before applying Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion and finishing with moisturizer ✨ In the morning, you can do cleansing, essence, Argireline, moisturizer, and SPF. Feel free to wait a little between each step so the products can absorb. This is a great routine to even out lines and get firmer skin! 💖1 likes

Retinol summer...
Hey! I use this in my skincare routine, but I read that many say you shouldn't use retinol in the summer. I thought it was okay if you use it in the evening and have sunscreen during the day? Then I'm wondering if that's the case, I was thinking of using something else and am looking into GF solution or multi peptide + HA. Is that a good swap and which is smarter if you want anti-aging and a more even skin tone? Thanks for being here so we can ask. 💖1546 views- The user's roll: Skin therapist at Lyko. The comment was made 5 monthsHi Maria 😊 You can absolutely use retinoids year-round if your skin is used to it and you use UV protection – it’s not a problem in the summer, but it’s more about being extra careful with the sun so you especially don’t get sunburned (which triggers pigmentation and you have to pause all active products). And if you want to counteract pigmentation as you wish, the most important thing is to stay completely away from the sun - with a big sun hat 👒 If you still want to pause, peptides (Multi-Peptide) are good for elasticity and lines, but they don’t affect skin tone that much. GF Solution works more on skin quality and repair, but it’s also not so targeted towards pigment. If you want something that works both anti-aging and gives a more even skin tone, I would invest in, for example, a serum with vitamin C. They also have a really good serum specifically for pigmentation that contains Alpha arbutin. Good luck 🤍4 likes
The OrdinaryGranactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion 30 ml
A Stable Emulsion of Next-Generation Forms of Retinoid.
This formulation combines two forms of next-generation retinoid actives in a combined concentration of 2% by weight.
These two actives are:
a) Solubilized Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is a highly-advanced form of retinoid which is, in fact, a non-prescription ester of all-trans direct retinoic acid that offers a multi-fold better effect against signs of ageing than retinol, retinyl palmitate and nearly all other forms of non-prescription retinoid;
b) a sustained-delivery form of pure retinol in a protective capsule system which supports both the delivery and the effect of Solubilized Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate.
Both forms of retinoid used avoid the irritation associated with retinoid (including retinol) use while delivering better visible results against signs of ageing.
Use:
Apply a few drops to face in the PM as part of your skincare regimen. Do not use with other retinoid treatments. Use sun protection in the AM.
