This is one we love debunking because it gives us an opportunity for some quality education. Let’s say you run to the drugstore and see a product claiming to have Hyaluronic Acid, or Salicylic Acid or even Vitamin C. That doesn’t mean it’s good product. A lot of times, these companies will focus in on buzz words or key words people want more of (Hyaluronic Acid being one of them) and will use it in all their marketing campaigns – why? They know people are getting informed and want these products in their skincare. Unfortunately, they aren’t all created equal. Typically, when you see a product in a Med Spa or with a higher price tag, it’s because it’s quality product. Mind blowing right? You cannot create a quality product with quality ingredients at no cost, you just can’t. A lot goes into a product to make it effective and safe; for example, Hyaluronic Acid comes in various forms and is derived in many ways so just because the bottle at the drugstore says it has this ingredient doesn’t mean it’s in the right form. That’s why so many people get frustrated and claim skincare isn’t for them, because they don’t see results and blame it on the ingredients when in fact, they aren’t getting the right ingredient at all. The same thing goes with Vitamin C. The formulation of these ingredients might not even have the correct percentages of use, for example the intended use for an ingredient could be 10% but you’re getting .5% in that product. Let’s say you grab product from a department store with a higher price tag, don’t be tricked into paying for the packaging! A lot of times all the profit or a good majority of it goes into the marketing of that product verses the technology and ingredient formulations; be aware and cautious! On the contrary, anytime you see products in a med spa, you know there were clinical trials from third party testers; anyone can say anything about their own product, but third parties will get into the weeds and determine how the product works. For example, the molecule sizes in your product might not be able to penetrate your skins barrier, and this comes down to science. Our testers look at molecular structure and whether it’s too large to physically penetrate your skin. Does it need to be micronized or solubilized?
There is patented technology that involves encapsulation as well; meaning the product will be applied to the skin and once it seeps in, it releases the product. Here at Skinfinity we will tell you exactly what you need and guide you through the entire skincare process. We have clients who also need things super simple, like our men or travelers, and we do that as well. We’ll show you when to use it, how to use it, how much to use and everything in between. We’ll write it out and make it super clean and easy too! We are so passionate and educated about this and are continually being educated across our entire staffing panel. We’re always up to date on the latest technology being used as well as products that will be the most beneficial for you.
