Deepest glow tint for dark skin with a rich undertone
Nr. 5 is the deepest shade in the Lycogel Breathable Tint line and closes the color spectrum on the darker side. Dark skin has unique needs often overlooked in regular foundation ranges: sufficient pigment depth, an undertone that follows the skin’s rich warmth, and a formula that doesn’t turn ashy gray when combined with sebum. Nr. 5 is precisely tailored to these requirements.
The deep luminous coverage enhances the natural glow of dark skin instead of dulling it. While matte foundations can make a dark complexion look powdery or flat, the glow finish of Nr. 5 restores the skin’s characteristic vibrancy. For those seeking full pigment coverage and a skin-friendly breathable formula, this is the definitive choice within the line.
Benefits
- Deepest shade of the Lycogel Breathable Tint line for dark skin
- Rich pigment depth without a dull or ashy appearance
- Enhances the natural glow instead of dulling it
- Breathable formula that allows melanin-rich skin to recover under makeup
- Contains hyaluronic acid in three molecular weights to combat moisture loss
Active ingredients
Plant-based oxygen supply: For dark skin, active oxygen supply under makeup is especially valuable. The deeper skin tone has higher melanin production, meaning skin cells consume more energy for pigment formation. The oxygen ingredient nourishes the cells, stimulates collagen and elastin production, and supports the natural skin repair mechanism.
Designer Gel Base: The oxygen-permeable matrix forms the foundation under Nr. 5. For those with dark skin who wear daily makeup, this technology is crucial — the skin continues to breathe, pores are not clogged, and the tint adheres evenly without sliding over an oily T-zone or turning ashy gray.
Post-biotic nutritional formula: Protects skin stem cells, increases tolerance threshold, and promotes a balanced microbiome. For dark skin, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a common issue — small irritations or acne spots quickly leave dark marks. This post-biotic protection works preventively against that skin overreaction.
Hyaluronic acid on three levels: Dark skin loses moisture faster due to sun exposure and seasonal changes, which results in a duller or grayer-looking face. The triple hydration keeps the skin supple on multiple levels at once: a protective film on the surface, soothing in the middle layers, and plumping in the deeper skin layers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Nr. 4 and Nr. 5?
Both shades suit a deeper skin tone, but Nr. 4 is the transition shade that also fits tanned skin, while Nr. 5 is specifically developed for dark skin and is clearly more deeply pigmented. If you find that Nr. 4 is too light on your skin or does not provide enough hold on the complexion, Nr. 5 is the choice. The two can also be mixed to achieve a desired intermediate shade.
Doesn't Tint Nr. 5 turn ashy on dark skin during the day?
No. The ashy or gray effect that many foundations show on dark skin is caused by oxidation of pigments combined with sebum and oxygen. The Lycogel formula does not oxidize because the Designer Gel Base binds the pigments to the skin in a breathable yet stable way. The color you apply in the morning remains the same all day.
Can I also use Nr. 5 on the neck and body?
Yes, the Tint is suitable for both the face and targeted areas on the neck, décolleté, or arms — for example, to create a uniform look between the face and body. For larger body surfaces, a 30ml tube will obviously run out faster, but for refined application on visible areas, this is a commonly used size.
