Manufacturers of skin care products do everything possible to lure consumers with the natural or at least unusual composition and attractiveness of the package. But what beauty products really live up to their high price tag?
After analyzing on the Internet the reviews of dermatologists and users about a particular face remedy, we made rating of the most useful and useless expensive skincare cosmetic products.
Top 5 beauty products you don’t need to spare money for
5. Serum
Serums contain the smallest molecules that can penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. It takes a lot of effort to create these tiny molecules, which is why whey is so expensive. The cheapest serums, as a rule, contain a large number of fillers and molecules that are too large to penetrate your skin at the cellular level. Look for serums that contain “chirally correct”. It means that they contain only molecules that can penetrate deep into the skin.
These products include:
- D’vine Tuscany Serum.
- C&E Strength Max.
4. Retinol
When it comes to anti-aging skin care, retinol is indispensable. When used continuously, this fat-soluble vitamin strengthens the skin and improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. So says dermatologist Joshua Zeichner from Mount Sinai Medical Complex in New York. But not all products containing retinol are equally useful. Some companies add a minimal amount of this substance, so you will not get enough retinol to achieve a meaningful result.
Well-proven retinol products include:
- MyChelle Dermaceuticals, Remarkable Retinal Serum.
- Life Flo Health, Retinol A 1%, Advanced Revitalization Cream.
3. Sunscreens
In the summer, you need to apply sunscreen daily, so high quality ingredients that are not harmful to the skin (such as zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, vitamins E, C, K, various oils) should be in the first place in the composition.
Great everyday creams for adults and children are:
- SPF15 Mommy Care.
- Guam Solare Sunscreen SPF15.
2. Exfoliator scrub (exfoliator)
You can save money by buying a cheap exfoliator, but it will not improve the condition of the skin. Exfoliation is one of the most important steps to combat aging, allowing you to accelerate cell regeneration. Scrubs that are too coarse can cause microscopic cuts, abrasions on the skin, which, in turn, can result in fine lines, scars, and capillary ruptures. In order to prevent skin damage, look for an exfoliator that contains light granules, such as jojoba granules.
Such funds include:
- Premium Homework Biobasic Jojoba Scrub.
- Organic Tai facial scrub cream with granules of jojoba "White Orchid".
1.Base for makeup (primer)
In the first place in the list of cosmetics with justifiably high price tags is one of the most important components of flawless makeup. This is the foundation on which, in fact, lies makeup. And primer products must have high quality ingredients that do not irritate the skin. Ideally, if the base contains vitamins and minerals, plant extracts and filters to protect from sunlight.
Examples of good makeup foundation are:
- Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation.
- Tony Moly Egg Pore Silky Smooth Balm.
Top 5 face care products that you should not spend a lot of money on
5. Cleanser cleanser
None of the ingredients for skin cleansers can justify their sky-high price. The cleanser is on the face for about two minutes, so that none of the expensive ingredients that are “crammed” into their product, the manufacturer will not stay on the face long enough to be effective.
What can be purchased:
- CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser.
- Natura Kamchatka “Perfect Skin”.
4. Moisturizer
There is no point in overpaying for super-hydration of the skin, unless, of course, you are not going to travel through wasteland. Most inexpensive creams are easily absorbed into the skin, do not leave a sticky feeling and provide excellent hydration. In addition, if you have already gone broke for whey, then your moisturizer will simply play the role of a sealant, protecting the active ingredients of the serum.
Try:
- Baikal Herbals Moisturizing Face Serum.
- Cream-lifting "Violet and Altai", Green Mama.
3. Eye shadow
The products of expensive brands usually have a higher concentration of pigment, which gives bolder, more saturated colors. Is it worth it to overpay for this - decide for yourself.
Here are two examples of inexpensive reviews that have good reviews:
- Art-Visage Color Dream Silk Eyeshadow.
- Catrice The Nude Blossom Collection Eyeshadow Palette.
2. Lip balm
In second place in the top 5 of unreasonably expensive facial products are lip balms, which not only women, but many men will not do without. Fortunately, your lips don't need a bunch of complex ingredients to stay soft and sensual. It is advisable to buy balms that contain natural ingredients (coconut oil, castor oil, beeswax, etc.), as we will inevitably swallow them when we lick our lips. It is very good if there is vitamin E in the composition. It is an excellent antioxidant that moisturizes and protects the lips from the harmful effects of sunlight and pollutants.
Some of the best lip balms:
- Balm "Vanilla" from Spivak.
- Himalaya Herbals Balm.
1. Makeup Remover
There is no reason to overpay for this product when there are many brands that gently remove makeup, while not depriving the skin of its natural moisture.
Try:
- Lumene Lotion.
- Black Pearl. Bio oil.
