Is expensive skin care better than an inexpensive one?

[ymnznygirl]

Im one of those that always believe that you "get what you paid for". I really like the idea of "natural skincare" because I am worried about the long term effects of putting all these chemicals on the skin. I can honestly say I have never liked an inexpensive item! Cetaphil was just ok. I like dhc cleansing oil. I dunno, maybe I just need to keep experimenting.

I think it depends all on ingredents. Finding the right products and taking care of your skin such as water, vitamins, not smoking, etc

I agree with Cutelicious (love that name, by the way).

Also, finding the right products for you and what you want your results to be are "what works for you," regardless of price. If you just want to clean your skin, then there are lots of things out there. But, if you have problem areas or things you want to address (fine lines, dry patches, dullness,etc.) then you need to find a product that will address those issues. It's trial and error, I think.

Frankly I do not think there is much of a difference between expensive brands and inexpensive store brands. I am 37 yrs old have been introduced to Ice Elements skin care line and I absolutely love it. It has cleared up my hyperpigmentation and old acne scars. I have gotten tons of compliments after a month of using it too.

I guess it all depends on the ingredients!...IMO

I would agree with the majority here (or so it seems to me) in saying that price isn't the most important factor in finding the most suitable skincare products. It all comes down to your skin and how it reacts to different ingredients and forumulae. For some, the best result might be with a cheap product, others with an expensive product. I've yet to find a skincare regime that suits me perfectly, although I have found that Palmer's Cocoa Butter is a godsend for my dry skin. Just as well that it's pretty cheap!

I think the key with cheap products is to sift through the crappy find the elusive ones that work well.
