Lycogel Breathable Tint Nr. 4 30ml

Glow tint for tanned to dark skin with deep warmth

With Nr. 4, the Lycogel Breathable Tint line makes an important transition: this tint is deliberately developed for both tanned skin and dark skin, because the luminous finish enhances the natural pigment in both skin categories without needing a matte foundation. For those who naturally have deeper skin tones or tan strongly in summer, this is the first tint in the line that offers the right warmth and intensity.

Nr. 4 provides light, illuminating coverage that lets the natural glow of deeper skin tones shine through. While matte foundations on dark or tanned skin often leave a dull or powdery veil, the Tint does the opposite — the skin retains its depth and vibrancy, gaining a healthy finish. This makes Nr. 4 suitable for daily use on skin that wants to be enhanced, not covered.

Benefits

• Suitable for both tanned and dark skin with deep natural warmth
• Maintains the vibrancy of deeper pigmented skin
• Prevents the dull or ashy effect of traditional foundations on dark skin
• Light coverage with a healthy glow finish
• Nourishes the skin during wear via LYCO-Complex

Active ingredients

Designer Gel Base: The oxygen-permeable matrix forms the foundation under Nr. 4. For deeper skin tones, this is a valuable technology because melanin-rich skin benefits from active cell renewal — which is only possible when the skin can breathe under makeup. The breathable structure also prevents the tint from shifting over an oily T-zone or turning gray.

Post-biotic nutrient complex: For tanned or dark skin, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a common issue — small wounds, acne spots, or irritation leave darker marks more quickly on deeper skin tones. The post-biotic ingredients increase the skin's tolerance threshold and promote a balanced microbiome, which helps prevent this pigmentation problem.

Triple hyaluronic acid: The combination of three molecular weights ensures the skin is hydrated on multiple levels simultaneously. Especially on tanned or dark skin that regularly loses moisture due to sun exposure, this layered hydration prevents the Tint from drying out or making the skin look ashy gray.

Plant-based oxygen supply: Increases cellular respiration and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. A deeper skin tone naturally has a higher tolerance for sun damage, but that doesn’t mean repair is unimportant — the oxygen ingredient supports natural renewal at the cellular level.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if No. 4 or No. 5 suits dark skin better?

No. 4 is the transition tint between tanned and dark skin, and fits the lighter end of the dark category. No. 5 is deeper and more pronounced dark. Those with a mid-dark complexion usually go for No. 4. For deeper or more pronounced dark skin, No. 5 is generally the right choice. When in doubt, the tints can be mixed for an intermediate result.

Does the Tint turn ashy gray on deeper skin, like some foundations?

No. The oxidation problem that many foundations show on darker skin is caused by reactive pigments combined with sebum. The Lycogel formula does not oxidize due to the Designer Gel Base, so the color you apply in the morning stays the same all day — even on skin with active sebum production or in warm conditions.

Do I still need camouflage over the Tint on deeper skin?

For light imperfections and uneven skin tone, Tint No. 4 is sufficient. For specific pigmentation spots, post-acne discolorations, or melasma, a targeted dot of Lycogel Breathable Camouflage Almond or Amber can be applied over the Tint where full coverage is desired.
