Quackery 1: Anti-aging effects are determined by speed.
Right: There are many anti-aging products that claim to work in 3 days or smooth out fine lines in 8 hours, which is very appealing. The actual fact is that some of the products are actually based on the characteristics of the “dosage” to temporarily fill the skin surface of the fine lines, or in the maintenance products to add reflective particles, so that the skin surface wrinkles caused by the shadow to reduce the wrinkles, so that the wrinkles “look” less, this kind of This practice will make the skin aging speed up in the long run. The best way to improve skin aging is to follow the skin’s cyclical metabolic cycle and take an initial look at the 14-28 day period.
Question 2: The higher the concentration of ingredients in a product, the more effective it is
Right: High concentration is not necessarily effective and may cause skin damage and side effects (e.g. acids, whitening ingredients, essential oils). The skin has a certain ability to absorb the ingredients, so too much concentration is futile for the anti-aging benefits. The pharmacological research laboratory has medically confirmed, and published in the world’s most authoritative dermatological medical journal JID, that 5% L-vitamin C can have the greatest effect on stimulating collagen fiber synthesis, and the effect of exceeding this concentration is the same as 5% concentration), so we can also know that the concentration and effect are not necessarily proportional to increase!
Question 3: Anti-aging products don’t work, medical aesthetics is the only way to improve the fundamental problem of aging
Right: Anti-aging products are like a regular diet for our aging skin, regularly replenishing nutrients and essential substances to maintain the skin in its current state and prevent more serious aging problems. As long as long-term persistence can still be seen the effect. Medical aesthetic treatments, on the other hand, are like special drugs or nutritional supplements that can intensively improve some aging problems in a relatively short period of time (3~14 days), and the two are not mutually contradictory. If you just go to medical aesthetics and think you’ve solved the root of your aging problem without using anti-aging products to maintain your skin, your anti-aging success will be wasted.
Quackery 4: You can reduce your pigmentation by applying a whitening mask every day
Correct understanding: In fact, whitening masks are not suitable for daily use because they generally contain fruit acids that help with keratin metabolism, and daily use makes the stratum corneum thinner and the skin more sensitive and susceptible to aging. Moreover, although whitening masks do have certain effect on lightening spots, they are not suitable for everyone. Because the causes of spots are different, and the internal factors are much bigger than the external factors. And whitening skin care products can only lighten the spots caused by UV rays, but do little to improve other types of spots, especially those that appear as the skin ages.

Quackery #5: If you want to restore elasticity to sagging skin, just apply a cream with collagen
The right idea. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you are doing.
To restore elasticity to sagging skin, it is important to help massage the skin more often. Exercising the skin more often improves blood circulation and nutrients are naturally delivered to the skin easily, providing a boost for the skin to repair itself.
Quackery #6: Better absorption at night, no need to use anti-aging products during the day
Right: Many anti-aging products work better at night, but not all. Any anti-aging product that contains vitamin A, peptides, fruit acids and salicylic acid should be used at night as much as possible. That’s because, when you are sleeping, the amount of blood on the surface of the popular skin increases, the skin’s pH level decreases, and the skin’s ability to protect itself decreases, and in such a state of love, these aforementioned anti-aging ingredients can be absorbed well. However, to achieve a good anti-aging effect, in addition to using these products at night, you must also work with the help of SPF sunscreen and antioxidant maintenance products during the day, so as to consolidate the anti-aging maintenance at night and delay the aging of the skin.
Quackery 7: Itchy, red and peeling skin are common side effects of anti-aging product use
Correct understanding: Many people will experience itchy, red skin when they first start using, or when they change to a new aging product, and some will comfort themselves that this is a common phenomenon. The most important thing is that you can use the product to make sure that you have a good understanding of the product. In fact, these phenomena can only indicate that you are sensitive to some of the ingredients in the product and allergies have occurred. This is the time to stop using the product and let the skin fully rest, otherwise the skin will be worse and worse. After the skin returns to normal, you can use it again once or twice to see if the skin has adapted or accepted, if there is still allergy phenomenon can no longer be used, if there is no allergy phenomenon indicates that the skin has slowly accepted the ingredients.
