Anti-aging skin care product recommendations

For dry skin, close your eyes and apply Lico AGE Cream. For oily skin, choose Neutrogena 0.3% Retinol Silver Tube Essence. For sensitive skin, use Proya Source Cream 2.0. For students with limited budget, directly choose the 10% Bosein Solution + 2% Blue Copper Peptide Essence combination of the raw material bucket brand. The whole set does not exceed 300 yuan, and the effect can even out most anti-aging lines worth thousands of dollars.

I worked as a beauty research and development assistant for 7 years, and then did self-funded evaluation for 4 years. I spent almost 6 figures just testing anti-aging products, and I encountered more pitfalls than the dry lines on my face before the seasons. A few years ago, I bought a bottle of a Swiss anti-aging essence that cost more than 3,000 yuan. I used half of the bottle and my pores were not small. Later, I took it to a friend in the laboratory to test it and found that the concentration of the core anti-aging ingredients was not even 0.1%. I simply paid the brand premium IQ tax. After understanding the logic of ingredients, I realized that the more expensive the better for anti-aging, you have to tailor it to your own needs.

In fact, there is no unified standard answer in the anti-aging circle now. Each of the major schools has its own reasons. Whether you step on the trap or not depends on whether you have found the right path to suit yourself. The strong medicine school has been an evergreen tree for so many years. These people are basically city-skinned. They firmly believe that retinol’s efficiency in stimulating collagen production is top-notch among all legal ingredients. I have a best friend with oily skin. She is 32 years old and has no static nasolabial folds. She has been using retinol for 5 years and slowly increased the concentration from 0.1% to 0.5%. Now her skin is as tight as a freshly peeled soft-boiled egg, and even her pores are so thin that they are almost invisible. Oh, by the way, if you have the kind of sensitive skin that makes your face flush for three days even if you apply fruit acid, really don’t touch retinol, don’t listen to what others say, just build up tolerance. Your face has a thin barrier, and if you really do it, you will become habitually sensitive. There is such an example around me. Now I can’t touch any functional products, so I can only apply medical dressings every day to maintain stability.

There are also many drug addicts who think that Bose is a concept created by L'Oréal, and its effect is not as fast as that of retinol. I do not deny this. Retinol is indeed more effective in anti-aging, but the premise is that you can tolerate it. If you use it once, your face will be ruined. No matter how effective the ingredient is, it will be in vain, right? Bosein and peptides, which are the main ingredients of moderates and do not require tolerance building, are actually more friendly to most ordinary people - Bosein can not only stimulate the production of collagen in the dermal layer, but also repair the epidermal barrier. My mother has desert skin that peels off in the winter. In the past, the dry lines at the corners of my eyes could kill mosquitoes when I smiled. After using SkinCeuticals AGE for half a year, now, It feels soft on the face, and the dry lines have faded by at least one-third. The only drawback is that it is expensive. The official price is almost 1,800, which is really hard for students. However, now that Bosein’s patent has expired, many domestically produced 10% concentration Bosein creams can achieve 70% of the effect of the original version. It only costs more than 200. If you don’t have enough budget, you can definitely use it.

There is also a relatively niche black technology group, which focuses on exosomes and fullerenes. This group's view is that anti-aging should start from the source of antioxidants to reduce the damage of free radicals to the skin. For example, the fullerene essence, which has been very popular recently, I used it after I went out in the sun in the summer. My face did not collapse at all, nor did it appear dark and yellow the next day. However, there is not much clinical research data on this type of ingredients, and the effects vary from person to person. It is suitable for sisters who like to try new things. Whether they are successful or not depends on luck.

Let’s talk about a scenario that everyone easily overlooks: If you often stay up late and wake up the next day with a face that looks like crumpled waste paper, then you should stop taking long-term anti-aging slow measures and first respond to the entire first aid team. The last time I was working on a project, I stayed up for 3 days in a row. I relied on PROYA Anti-Double Essence + Ruby Cream to support me. I applied it thickly the night before. When I woke up the next day, my face suddenly felt swollen, and most of the bloating was gone. My colleagues all asked me if I had secretly used Thermage. Last time, my cousin stayed up late one week before her wedding to catch up on planning, and her apples were almost falling down to the corners of her mouth. I stuffed her with a sample of ruby ​​cream, and applied it thickly the night before. The makeup didn't stick to the makeup the next day. Even the makeup artist asked her what kind of primer she used.

Many people say that anti-aging starts after the age of 25, but this is not true. My cousin, born in 2000, stayed up late every day to watch short videos until two or three o'clock. At the age of 20, she had dry lines in the corners of her eyes. Last time I gave her a few tens of yuan of bifid yeast essence, and the dry lines disappeared after half a month of use. When it comes to anti-aging, prevention is always more effective than remedy. Once the wrinkles become static and can be seen even without expression, no skin care products will work, and the only option is to go for medical cosmetic fillers.

In fact, there is really no need to follow the trend and buy the hottest products that are recommended all over the Internet. If you understand your skin type, determine the level of stimulation you can tolerate, and choose the right core ingredients, it will be much more effective than applying seven or eight layers of expensive skin care products. If you are really not sure, buy a small sample and try it for two or three days to make sure you are not allergic or uncomfortable before wearing it in formal wear. It is better than spending thousands to buy it and just throw it away to gather dust, right? After all, your face is yours, there is no need to pay for other people’s grass planting notes.
