Some fans have sent me a lot of lists that they found online. They either had all the ladies’ brands in the front, or they were all Internet celebrity models, which were half-true and half-false. In fact, there are two completely different evaluation logics in the anti-aging circle. There is no one right or wrong, but they are suitable for different groups of people: the hard-druggers believe that the concentration of ingredients is the hard currency, and they believe that as long as they can withstand FDA clinical verification, A-alcohol and Bose are the hard currency, and any plant extraction and cell black technology are IQ taxes; the moderates believe that long-term use of strong drugs will destroy the skin barrier and accelerate aging. Ingredients such as peptides and ergothioneine that do not require the establishment of tolerance are more profitable for long-term use.

I have been in trouble before. Two years ago, when black bandages were the most popular, I bit the bullet and bought a can. I have combination oily and sensitive skin, and I could really feel my face tightening when I used it in winter. However, in summer, my chin was so stuffy that my chin was covered with clefts. It was almost expired after half a year, so I had to give it to my dry-skinned aunt. She has been using it for three months, and her jawline has become much clearer. Everyone tells everyone that this cream is useful - you see, the same product, which is useless to me, is top-notch to her. The reference value of the ranking is originally based on "suitability".

To be honest in the industry, the sorting logic of many public lists is not about effectiveness at all, but about how much advertising money the brand has invested. I have seen a list of a beauty platform before that ranked a domestically produced Internet celebrity anti-aging cream at the first place. When I clicked on it, the details page was full of drafts. The ingredient list was marked with "added Bose", but the actual content was only 1.8%. It did not even reach the 3% effective concentration. It was purely a novice who did not understand the ingredients. If you really want to judge whether an anti-aging product is good or not, don't just look at the rankings, first check whether there are any third-party human experiment reports: For example, the reason why SkinCeuticals AGE can suppress the black bandage and ranks first in the firming list is because its 30% bosenic formula has been tested in a controlled manner. The difference in anti-aging effect compared with the black bandage is less than 8%, but the price is only half. Ordinary office workers can afford it, and the price-performance ratio is really good.

There is also a very interesting phenomenon. Neutrogena A-alcohol is much more recognized among student parties than Ruby. After all, you can buy 0.2% true A-alcohol at a price of 100 yuan, so why do you need a bicycle? I used it for almost two years when I just graduated, and the dry lines at the corners of my eyes have indeed faded a lot. It was just the skin that broke out for a week when I first established tolerance. Later, I used it with the repair cream and it was fine. But if you have sensitive skin, really don’t touch this product. I once had a fan who suffered from rosacea and followed the trend and bought Neutrogena. After using it twice, it turned red and scaly. I had to go to the dermatologist for a week to get better. In fact, it was not worth the gain.

Speaking of this, some people must ask, then sensitive skin is not worthy of anti-aging? Of course not. La Roche-Posay's retinol essence uses low-conversion, milder retinyl palmitate, which is compounded with ceramides. My bad-faced fan gradually built up tolerance using it. Now after using it for almost half a year, the dry lines at the corners of my mouth are almost invisible, and I no longer have allergies. If you really can't stand even low-concentration A-alcohol, then just choose the small brown bottle or Yuanli Essence, and take the "repair + antioxidant" route. Although the effect is a little slower, with long-term use, the stability and delicateness of the skin will improve, which is much better than blindly using strong drugs to ruin your face.

If you really want to find your own "exclusive ranking", it's better to touch your face in the mirror first: If dry lines only appear when you smile, and your face still feels tight when you touch it, just choose products from the early and old echelons. There is no need to spend a lot of money on lady brands; For static lines that can be seen, if you pinch the apples of your skin and you will notice the looseness, you can directly apply products with high concentration of Bosein or peptides, and the effect will come faster. If you usually get redness and soreness during the change of seasons, you should not dare to touch it. Put repair first, and then use gentle and anti-aging products, otherwise you will really become more resistant and older.

To put it bluntly, the ranking list is always a reference. Your face is yours. The one you are comfortable with and can see the effect is the number one in your heart.
