Anti-aging skin care product recommendations

If you are 20-25 years old and have initial anti-aging needs, choose a light milk texture containing Bosein/peptides. If you have a low budget, you can buy Proya Double Anti-Aging Essence. If you have a high budget, you can directly apply the Lico AGE Cream; if you are 25-35 years old and already have superficial dry lines and static lines, choose the combination of A-alcohol + antioxidant, which is suitable for people with allergies. For sensitive skin, choose HBN Retinol Night Cream, for those with tolerant skin, directly use Neutrogena Advanced A-Alcohol Night Cream and Obagi VC Essence; for those aged 35+ who have obvious saggy face and the need for apple muscles to move down, for ladies, choose La Prairie Anti-Gravity Essence or Helena Black Bandage, and for sensitive skin, choose Guerlain Imperial Bee Restoration Honey.

A while ago, I helped my cousin, who just started graduate school, choose anti-aging products. She is 23 and stays up late every day to catch up on assignments. The apples of her skin are a bit saggy, and there are two shallow dry lines under the tear trough. She has oily acne-prone skin. , I was afraid that using it too hard would break out acne and ruin her face, so I finally gave her a bottle of Proya Dual Antibody. After using it for more than a month, she took a selfie for me. The two dry lines were almost invisible, her face was much brighter, and even her aunt’s acne that she often suffered in the past was reduced. Oh, yes, don’t believe the nonsense that “young people will become over-nourished if they use Lady to fight aging.” I have a best friend who has dry and sensitive skin just 22 years old. Her face gets so dry in winter that she uses her mother’s leftover black bandage. It’s actually more comfortable than ordinary moisturizer. After using half a jar, her skin texture is so stable that even the redness has faded away. The essence of the so-called excess nutrition is that the texture of the product does not match your skin type, or the ingredients are too strong and you cannot tolerate it. It has nothing to do with your age.

Nowadays, the anti-aging circle has actually been divided into two groups, and they have been arguing for many years without reaching a conclusion. The most powerful medicine school relies on A-ol. After all, it is the gold standard for anti-aging supported by solid clinical data - 0.1% concentration of A-alcohol for 12 weeks can reduce the appearance of superficial wrinkles by about 30%. It can also stimulate the production of collagen and make the face bounce back faster than anything else. I have a beauty blogger friend with oily skin who directly started using 0.3% A-Alcohol without taking any steps to build tolerance. Except for her face being a little hot on the first day, she had no adverse reactions. In half a month, she saw that most of the dry lines at the corners of her eyes were faded. Now she recommends A-Alcohol to everyone she meets. But moderates think that A-alcohol is too picky. Six out of ten people can't tolerate it. Redness, peeling, and breakouts are common. On the contrary, it damages the skin barrier and is not worth the loss. It is better to choose non-irritating ingredients such as Bose and peptides. Although the effects are slower and take two to three months to see obvious results, long-term use is stable and can be used on all skin types.

To be honest, both statements are valid. It all depends on your own skin condition. If you are a skinned person and are not afraid of acid treatments, then directly applying A-alcohol directly is very cost-effective. Neutrogena's advanced A-alcohol only costs over 100 yuan. Paired with a VC essence, it can resist photoaging and lighten wrinkles. The effect can reach four figures. If you have sensitive skin and are easily prone to redness when changing skin care products, then you really don’t want to suffer from A alcohol. The 30% concentration of Bose in SkinCeuticals AGE Cream is the same concentration as a black bandage, and the price is half the price. It can directly promote the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans in the dermis and make the skin pop. I relied on it to save my face from rottenness last winter. It not only fights aging but also repairs the barrier, killing two birds with one stone.

Oh right, what if you don’t think even Bosein is gentle enough? There are also peptides to choose from. My mother has super sensitive skin that is allergic to alcohol. I bought her Innisfree's Six Peptide Essence before. She applies it every morning and night. In three months, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes have really faded a lot. But you have to stick to the peptides. If you forget to apply it for two or three days, it will return to its original shape. It has to be used year after year to be effective. There is also the Blue Copper Peptide, which has become very popular recently. It is a two-in-one repair and anti-aging product. It is expensive, and it cannot be used with acids and alcohols. It is easy to inactivate. It is suitable for sensitive skin that has a large budget but is afraid of irritation.

Many people ask me whether it is necessary to invest in a four-digit anti-aging regimen. All I can say is that it depends on your budget. If you have a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan and don’t feel bad about spending thousands on an essence, then the anti-gravity firming effect of La Prairie is really unmatched by ordinary products. I stayed up for three consecutive days at the last event and applied a layer before going to bed. When I woke up the next day, my face was not slumped at all, it was still tight. But if you have a limited budget, there is really no need to save up money to buy it. More than 200 Proya dual-antibiotics and more than 100 A-alcohol night cream are added. As long as you insist on using it, the effect is not much worse than the lady's products.

Finally, let me just say this. When it comes to anti-aging, skin care products are really just auxiliary. Last year, I stayed up for seven days and nights to catch up on a project. No amount of black bandages or anti-gravity treatments could save my face from collapse. Then I slept at home for a week, without applying any essence, and my face suddenly came back. Really don’t treat skin care products as magic medicine. Staying up less late and using sunscreen will be more effective than how many anti-aging essences you apply. As for skin care products, just choose the one that suits you. There is no need to pay attention to the budget or concentration. Your face is comfortable, which is more important than anything else.
