The reason Lingonberry Hi-tech Serum in Cream contains many ingredients is that it's not just a skincare product with one purpose, but rather fulfills four functions in one: day cream, night cream, serum, and eye cream in a single formula. This contributes to the longer list of ingredients in the INCI list. Furthermore, the product has a natural preservation method, which also makes the ingredient list longer.

As you can see, there is an asterisk * after "parfum" in the INCI list. This indicates that it is not synthetic but of plant origin.

We have developed our own natural fragrance instead of using essential oils, to which many people are sensitive. Our unique signature fragrance is composed of various natural aromatic substances from the plant kingdom and is free from known allergens.

In the same way that Lingonberry Hi-tech Serum in Cream takes care of the skin on the face, it takes care of the skin on the neck and décolleté to counteract pigmentation, improve elasticity, give radiance and softness. Just like the skin on the face, the skin on the neck and décolleté needs to be lubricated every day.

In our 8-week study of 93 women and men aged 21-69 who used Lingonberry Hi-tech Serum in Cream and Cleansing Milk, and took 2 Lingonberry Capsules, we obtained the following results:

76% improved radiance
63% improved elasticity
74% reduced dryness

Lingonberry Hi-tech Serum in Cream contains many active ingredients that stimulate the skin. Therefore, a detoxifying effect may occur in the skin initially, and in such cases, it is advisable to drink extra water. The skin usually finds its balance after about a week.

If you experience that your skin is out of balance, it may be best to hold off on using Lingonberry Hi-tech Serum in Cream, as skin that is out of balance cannot handle active products. In that case, we recommend only using products with gentle nourishment that the skin can simply absorb without requiring anything from it, such as Quick Repair Cream or Intensive Nourishing Cream.

The skin may feel dry at first, but it is actually a positive process. The dryness indicates that the skin's cell renewal has started, thanks to the omega-3 fatty acids from the lingonberry seed oil. These fatty acids penetrate the skin barrier more easily and cause new skin cell production to start. Hence the feeling of increased dryness. This cream has the same effect as a peel, although you don't have to scrub the skin. The dryness will decrease when the skin has adapted to the cream.

During the winter months, we recommend Intensive Nourishing Serum under the cream as an extra nutritional boost as the skin needs more nourishment in the form of both fat and moisture.

Absolutely, that's correct. We often receive comments from happy customers who have finally achieved a more even skin tone thanks to Lingonberry Serum in Cream. Lingonberry seed oil is rich in Omega fatty acids (Omega 3 & 6) and powerful antioxidants that are important for balancing stress in the skin (specifically the melanocytes that produce melanin). In addition, hops are added which also helps to even out skin tone.

We usually recommend also using Q Balancing Booster (toner) which is rich in vitamin B3 (niacinamide), which many studies have shown to be effective for hyperpigmentation. As you probably already understand, we believe in nourishing the skin – ideally both from within and externally – as this creates a synergistic effect, but it's not a must!

Serums are designed to provide an extra effect/be more potent, meaning they require a more concentrated and active ingredient. Serums can either work at the skin barrier level or be deeply effective – meaning they penetrate the skin barrier.

Regarding the lingonberry serum, it contains something as unusual as 4 different serum ingredients, which also provide these synergistic effects. These are:

1. Lingonberry seed oil (maximum dose) which contains a high concentration of Omega 3, proven to penetrate the skin barrier, reach the basal cell layer, and stimulate cell renewal and microcirculation. Omega 3 also counteracts/reduces hyperpigmentation (proven in scientific studies and patented).

2. Matrixyl (at maximum dose) is microcollagen that penetrates the skin barrier and stimulates both collagen and hyaluronic acid in the dermis (proven in many scientific studies). Another important point is that serums with Matrixyl can be used perfectly during the day as they do not cause sun sensitivity like vitamin A derivatives, which unfortunately can also cause problems for sensitive skin. Matrixyl is classified as suitable for sensitive skin.

3. Hyaluronic acid: strengthens the moisture barrier at the skin barrier level – i.e., the first line of defense for our skin, against dry indoor climates and cold/wind.

4. Probiotic enzyme: strengthens the skin barrier and balances and optimizes the microflora (part of the first line of defense).

The serum is also fortified with hops to optimize when hyperpigmentation has already developed, to provide a more even skin tone.

We understand that SEK 649 may seem expensive, but the actual price is much higher considering the ingredients, production, and technology behind this 4-in-1 product. Generally, natural ingredients are much more expensive than traditional skincare and hair care with synthetic raw materials. We have chosen extremely expensive ingredients such as carbon dioxide-pressed berry seed oils from Finland. The production of berry seed oils takes place at low temperatures and in an oxygen-free environment, which ensures high quality and isolates the sensitive fatty acids and vitamins without them being damaged by heat, oxidation, or solvents (only carbon dioxide is used during extraction). The production cost is higher when developing nutrient-based and high-tech products with many functions. We have set a lower price than what it is worth because we want to give as many people as possible the chance to try this wonderful product.
