Anti-aging skin care lotion

Anti-aging skin care lotion is not an IQ tax, but its anti-aging property is a "priming-level auxiliary position". It is difficult to achieve high-level anti-aging needs such as lightening lines and firming with just one application. If you choose the right one, it can help increase the absorption of subsequent skin care. If it is suitable for the scene, it can even replace some essences. If you choose the wrong one, you will most likely end up with a lonely application, and may even cause acne and muddy skin to burden the skin.

I really fell into a big trap a few years ago. When I first became interested in the concept of anti-aging water, I gritted my teeth and stocked up on two bottles of big-name caviar anti-aging water. After applying it on my face, I thought it was effective. However, after using half a bottle, not a single dry line was lost. I would always rub it in after applying A alcohol. At that time, I would tell everyone that anti-aging water is a brand new gimmick. It wasn’t until I had dinner with Fa Xiao, a formulator, last time, and she explained to me the industry controversies involved, that I finally understood why some people use Fengshen and others don’t.

One group is the ingredients party that makes basic formulas. Their logic is very practical: more than 80% of the base of skin care water is water. In order to ensure a refreshing skin feel, it is impossible to add too many high-concentration functional ingredients. After all, it is too sticky and people don’t like to use it. Therefore, the active ingredients in most anti-aging water are embellishments. The core function is to soften the cuticle and hydrate, opening an absorption channel for subsequent essences and creams. If you want to rely on it to fight aging, it is better to apply two more drops of high-concentration essence. There is really nothing wrong with this. The bottle of caviar water I bought before, I later checked the ingredient list and saw that the caviar extract was listed behind the preservatives, and the amount added may not even be 0.1%. The smooth coating was all due to the thickening agent. After using half a bottle, I didn't even see a brightening effect. I simply paid the IQ tax of the brand premium.

However, the other group of people who are engaged in hospital-level skin care products do not agree with this statement. They believe that as long as the penetration-promoting technology can keep up, anti-aging water will be more easily absorbed by the skin than heavy essences. For example, many anti-aging waters now use microlipid capsule encapsulation technology to encapsulate small-molecule anti-aging ingredients such as oligopeptides and ergothioneine, which can directly penetrate deep into the stratum corneum without relying on subsequent products. I had photorejuvenation last time, and the agency gave me an anti-aging lotion with 0.3% ectoine added. No thickener or essence was added, and it was absorbed instantly after being applied to the face. Originally, I would have redness for two or three days after each treatment, but most of the redness was gone the next day, and even the anti-darkness that would have appeared before came to my door. Later, I stocked up on two bottles myself. When I am too lazy to apply essence in the summer, I just apply two layers of this water and add a sunscreen. My face will not look dull even if I wear makeup for a whole day. It is completely sufficient for my combination-oily skin’s summer anti-aging needs.

As for how to choose, you really don’t need to look at the fancy names like “age-freezing”, “rejuvenating” and “rejuvenating”. Turn to the ingredient list and look at the top five first. If there are a lot of thickening agents like alcohol, essence, and carbomer in the front, even if Bosein and peptides are added, they are all included, so don’t worry about it. Oh, yes, here is another controversial point that has been quarreling for several years: Many people say that adding Bose to anti-aging water is pure cutting of leeks. After all, Bose needs to reach about 10% to have an obvious tightening effect. Adding 1% to most water will not even touch the effective line. But there are some brands that really dare to add it. The domestic Bosein water my mother used last year actually added 9% Bosein. She has dry skin and is too lazy to apply essence. She applied it twice every morning and evening. After using it for less than half a year, the dry lines at the corners of her eyes have really faded a lot. Even her little sister who dances in the square asked her what good things she has used recently.

I now keep two bottles of anti-aging water on my skin care table all year round. One bottle is a peptide water compounded with glycolic acid. I apply it three nights a week before applying A-alcohol to help exfoliate some old dead skin cells. The subsequent absorption rate of A-alcohol is more than a little higher. The brightening effect that used to take half a month to be seen can now be seen in a week.； The other bottle is Ectoin water with added ceramides, which can be used when you have allergies during the change of seasons or when you have completed medical beauty treatments. It is gentle and non-irritating, and can also reduce the dry lines that appear due to dry skin during the change of seasons.

To be honest, there is never a unified standard answer when it comes to skin care. If you are used to stacking high-concentration anti-aging essences and creams every day, then anti-aging water may be the icing on the cake for you. There is not much difference.； But if you are like me and are afraid of stickiness in summer, or like my mother who is too lazy to apply too many layers, choosing an anti-aging water with sufficient ingredients and technology will be much more effective than applying ten layers of non-absorbable skin care products. Don't buy indiscriminately just because of marketing hype, and don't blame it all for IQ tax. Only try it to know if it suits your skin.
