What is LYCO-Complex?
Just like our body, our skin needs to breath, drink, and eat to thrive. That’s why Lycogel products feature the revolutionary LYCO-Complex, a carefully balanced set of 12 active ingredients that work together to deliver oxygen, moisture, and nutrients to your skin.
Why is oxygen important to the skin?
Oxygen literally breathes life into your skin. Oxygen heals, that’s why it’s often used to help skin recover from burns and other wounds. Oxygen also beautifies the skin; it defies wrinkles and gives you a more vibrant complection.
Why is moisture important to the skin?
Moisture is your skin’s number one line of defense. Moisture helps protect your skin from everyday irritants like air-conditioning, pollution, and dry air that damages the skin.

Nutrients keep your skin alive and active. Nutrients provide energy, repair tissue, and regulate all natural processes in the skin regardless of your skin’s condition.

How do I find my shade?
Select your shade by applying a chosen Lycogel product onto the jawline, making sure it matches the color of your neck, or let your specialist recommend you one. Wear a darker shade during summer months and a lighter shade during winter months – or blend together to make your perfect shade.
How many colours / shades are available?
Lycogel Breathable Camouflage is available in 12 different colours. Lycogel Breathable Tint is available in 4 shades. Lycogel Breathable Concealer is available in 3 colours.
Can I mix colors?
Yes. However the unique blend of colours used will match the majority of skin tones. If you are in between seasons for example you can easily mix 2 colours to create a perfectly natural coverage as your skin tans or gets lighter. Your Lycogel specialist can advise you further if necessary.
Can Lycogel cover very dry scaly areas of facial skin?
Lycogel will give you excellent coverage of dry and scaly areas as well as a soothing hydrating effect. However there is no make-up on the planet that can hide dryness. So depending on why the area is dry and scaly Lycogel can work in 2 ways. If your skin is dry and scaly but not as a result of a procedure, then you need to look at your skincare products and routine. This should be very quick to rectify and then your skin will be in a balanced and a beautiful condition, well hydrated without being oily and combined with your everyday Lycogel application, you should have a lifetime of good, normal and smooth looking skin.
If the area is dry and scaly due to a procedure which you have had done like laser or peels, then Lycogel will cover that but it will also speed up the removal of dry, flaky skin so that your skin can go back to smooth texture as soon as possible.
