How long does it take for anti-aging skin care to be effective?

There is no standard answer to the effective time of anti-aging skin care. If it is quick, you can see immediate brightening and plumping improvements within 1 week. If you want to see long-term anti-aging effects of reducing real wrinkles and improving skin firmness, it generally takes 3 to 6 months or even longer.

The 32-year-old planning director sister next to me has long understood this rule. Every time she has to hold a proposal meeting with hundreds of people, she must apply a thick layer of high-concentration Bosein mask the night before. When she wakes up the next day, most of the apples of the skin that have collapsed due to staying up late can be retracted. Even the makeup artist who has been with her for three years always asks her if she secretly received injections. In fact, the effect that can be seen in 1 or 2 days is essentially due to the high concentration of moisturizing ingredients that feed the stratum corneum, and a small amount of instant tightening ingredients to tighten the loose skin surface. It is an "emergency buff". After removing makeup and staying up for two days to return to its original shape, it cannot be considered a real anti-aging effect.

If you expect skin care products to really "pull back" the small dry lines that have just appeared and the sagging jawline due to loss of collagen, then you really can't wait. Take vitamin A, which is recognized as effective in anti-aging and has the most research data. Even if you have good tolerance and can use it every other day after establishing tolerance, it will take at least 2 to 3 months to see the effect of thickening of collagen in the dermis and gradual fading of fine lines. If you have sensitive skin and can only use it once a week, it is normal to wait for half a year to see obvious changes. Nowadays, there is always a controversy on the Internet saying that "skin care and anti-aging are all IQ taxes, it is better to go directly to medical beauty." On the contrary, I think it depends on the demand. A fan who was just 24 years old came to me to complain, saying that she had just started working and had some money, so she went for Thermage. She was afraid of pain and lowered the energy but it had no effect. Later, she raised the energy and her face became sensitive. It took more than half a year to recover. On the contrary, it was not as tight and tender as before when she insisted on using the combination of peptides + Bose.

To put it bluntly, anti-aging skin care and fitness are the same. You can’t immediately develop waistline lines by running for three days, and you can’t directly erase the fine lines that have grown for half a year by applying anti-aging essence for a week. Many people always complain that they are in a hurry to change products after using them for half a month without any results. Instead, they ignore that they stay up late every day, never leave their hands with milk tea, and don’t even bother to put on sunscreen when going out. The speed of these facial rejuvenation products is much faster than the speed of replenishment of skin care products, and no matter how expensive the essence is, they can’t hold up. Of course, it doesn’t mean you have to wait. If you can use it with a compliant household radio frequency device and use it 2 to 3 times a week, the effect can be about 1/3 faster than simply applying essence. The premise is that you don’t buy the device and just throw it away in a drawer to collect dust.

I have been through a lot of traps of eagerly seeking results. Now I don’t look in the mirror every day to see if there are new wrinkles. Anyway, I apply enough sunscreen, apply anti-aging essence regularly, and wait two or three months to take selfies with the original camera. Most of them can find that the wrinkles on the face are lighter and the fine lines have been reduced a lot. On the contrary, the more anxious I am to get results, the easier it is to feel that nothing is of use.
