How much do you know about the 6 deceptive effects of facial cream?

Facial creams and lotions are the most important step in basic skin care. Many people feel that skin care is incomplete without them. Therefore, it is very important to have a good face cream! However, facing many manufacturers who are trying their best to make some exaggerated propaganda, you must be vigilant!

1. Pure plant ingredients

First of all, one thing must be clarified, that is, a chemical structure formula, no matter what means are used to obtain it, its effect must be the same. Therefore, whether an ingredient is extracted from pure plants or chemically synthesized, its effect will not be different. Secondly, extracting ingredients from plants that are beneficial to the skin requires very high technology and equipment, and the cost of refining and concentrating is incredibly high, and it is definitely not something that can be achieved for a price of around a hundred yuan. In fact, most facial creams that claim to be made from pure plant ingredients actually have chemically synthesized ingredients as their main ingredient, or even do not contain any plant ingredients at all, and only use plant scents or colors to attract consumers.

2. Multi-effect

A facial cream can be both moisturizing and anti-wrinkle; it can both whiten and lift and firm; it can both control oil and...what ingredients does it contain? We all know the principle of "one key opens one lock", and one ingredient can only target one skin problem. How many kinds of active ingredients can a facial cream that can fight against multiple aging problems contain? Can these different kinds of active ingredients really coexist peacefully together? In our daily skin care, essences should be separated from facial creams. Two products with the same function have different activities and should be used separately. It would be strange if substances with different functions did not "fight" if they were put together.

3. Detoxification

Everyone on earth knows that the two major detoxification organs in the human body are the liver and kidneys. The skin also has a small detoxification function, but it is accomplished through sweating, that is, there must be an outward "detoxification" movement. However, applying facial cream is a process of "sucking" inward, which is the opposite of detoxification. So, what is the so-called detoxifying cream? What is the principle of its detoxification? How does it detoxify? What is its detoxification mechanism? What symptoms should be caused after detoxification? Can detoxification be achieved by writing "natural detoxifying ingredients"?

4. Anti-aging

Many facial creams have anti-wrinkle effects. If you use them regularly, wrinkles on the skin's surface will be reduced. However, the overall anti-aging effect is a bit nonsense. Aging is the decline of the whole human body's functional level. That is to say, with the passage of time, muscles, bones and other human organs are also aging. These aging are manifested through the aging of the skin. However, no cream or even skin care product can change the strength of muscles and bones.

5. Changing genes

Gene is the hottest word in the skin care industry, but what exactly is gene? Gene is the material basis of heredity and is the general term for specific nucleotide sequences on DNA molecules that carry genetic information. Genes pass on genetic information to the next generation through replication, so that the offspring have similar traits to their parents. In other words, our genes are relatively fixed, and it is quite difficult to intervene through external forces. I don’t know whether it is a good wish or a hype to think that human genes can be changed with one or several bottles of skin care products.

6. Collagen ingredients

Collagen, first of all, is a protein. The protein molecules are very large, so large that not only the skin cannot absorb it at all, but even our gastrointestinal tract, which relies on it to absorb nutrients for survival, must first hydrolyze it into amino acids before it can be absorbed. If you don’t believe me, try applying raw egg white on your face and see if it can be absorbed. From a biological point of view, only lower invertebrates can absorb substances such as protein through their epidermis.
