What, besides price, should you pay attention to when purchasing face cream?
Cream brand
The price of the product itself will directly depend on the popularity of the brand in the cosmetics market. As a rule, for more well-known cosmetic brands, the product will cost accordingly. Buying such a cream and spending half of our salary on it, we expect a real miracle from it, and what a disappointment awaits us when we realize that the product does not work at all. There are only 10 largest concerns in the whole world; these concerns can own several brands of cosmetics at the same time, this includes luxury, middle and mass market products. When any new product appears in the concern, it first appears in the luxury segment; if this product gains popularity, then it appears in a more budget version. What is the whole point, it happens that the composition of all these creams is absolutely the same, in order not to overpay money you need to do the following. Find out which brands belong to the same concern and compare the compositions of all creams; if they are completely identical, there is no point in overpaying.
Efficiency
We expect any cosmetic product to have a positive effect on our appearance. To avoid wasting money, you can first buy a sample and try the cream on yourself. Sometimes it happens that an expensive and a cheap cream are equally effective, yes, their composition is different, but the different components have the same effect on the skin. It turns out that we only spend money on an advertised product with a more expensive composition. Or you can safely choose a more budget option with the same effectiveness of active components.
Compound
When choosing care, you need to have a very good understanding of all the components of a particular product. For example, did you know that in the composition of more expensive creams, ordinary paraffin is often called mineral oil? As a rule, luxury creams are actually made from more expensive and high-quality products, many of which are unique in their effects. Also, only expensive creams have finely dispersed compounds that penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, thereby providing a more pronounced result.
Safety of use
I wouldn’t really want to develop serious skin problems using a low-quality cream. Here, a luxury product wins significantly, since such creams contain more harmless and gentle ingredients. All creams contain preservatives, the only difference is that in expensive creams they are of higher quality. Of course, you can also find a budget, high-quality option, but luxury in this case is still preferable. Well, we told you how to choose a quality cream and what you should definitely pay attention to.
Patented molecules and technologies
Brands that can afford to maintain their own laboratory and staff of development scientists always use proprietary ingredients. And this is not a cheap pleasure.
Night cream enriched with French rose extract, Absolue Precious Cells, Lancôme
The product contains organic Damask rose essential oil, obtained by distillation, which preserves all its valuable qualities. The nutritional component is provided by a complex with beeswax, almond oil and plant lipids.
Add to this the patented anti-aging molecule proxilan, which tightens the skin, as well as plant extracts - and you get a night cream that creates all the conditions for the restoration of skin cells and gives pleasure during use.
Texture and aroma
By these signs we immediately distinguish expensive cosmetics from cheap ones. Even the most successful formula will not be successful if the cream is poorly absorbed, clumps and smells unpleasant. In the end, self-care is a pleasure, and if the process itself does not bring joy, then you don’t even want to check the effectiveness of the product.
Flower petals or bright microparticles are often added to cosmetics (no, these are not necessarily scrubs, this also occurs in creams). And the texture itself can be “pearls” - colored or transparent capsules.
