Skincare products not being absorbed equals no effect?

In our daily skincare routines, we often encounter this issue: feeling like skincare products are not being absorbed by the skin. The absorbency of skincare products is also a standard many people use to judge their effectiveness: skincare products that are not easily absorbed tend to feel greasy when applied to the skin, lacking the feeling of nourishment; skincare products that are absorbed by the skin result in noticeable improvements in skin texture and a refreshing sensation on the skin's surface. Why do we often feel like skincare products are not being absorbed? How much does the lack of absorption affect skincare effectiveness? Today, let's delve into the topic of skincare product absorbency in detail, and you'll understand it better after reading. What is absorption? When we talk about skincare products being absorbed by the skin, we mostly refer to a kind of skincare experience where the product feels comfortable on the skin's surface, achieving a so-called absorption sensation. In fact, the absorption of skincare products by the skin is not a simple matter. The main function of our skin is protection, acting as a barrier against external stimuli to protect the internal tissues of the skin from damage, and this also blocks some skincare product ingredients. When skincare products come into contact with the skin, they don't easily penetrate and take effect. Some active ingredients may be blocked by the stratum corneum cells, posing a challenge for skincare formulators on how to allow these active ingredients to penetrate deeper. It's important to note that skincare products being too easily absorbed doesn't necessarily mean they are more effective. Skincare ingredients are foreign substances to the skin, and while a small amount of penetration is acceptable, excessive absorption and rapid absorption speed can easily trigger skin stress reactions, leading to a series of sensitive skin symptoms. No absorption equals no effect? When we use skincare products, emphasizing the sensation of absorption is because many people believe that skincare products must be absorbed to be effective. In fact, the efficacy of skincare products is multifaceted; some need to penetrate the skin, while others only need to moisturize the epidermis. For whitening, anti-wrinkle, and other functional skincare products, most of their active ingredients need to penetrate the skin to change the reactions and structure within the skin, to achieve better skincare effects. However, for hydrating and moisturizing skincare products, their effectiveness lies partly in covering the skin surface with a moisturizing film to prevent internal moisture loss and partly in affecting the structure of the skin's stratum corneum to achieve hydration and moisture locking. For these types of skincare products, even if they are not absorbed, they can still provide good skincare results. #skincare #beauty tips #eye mask #eye patch #eye cream #viicode eye mask#viicode eye patch#anti aging #ESS #eastsuperstar VIIcode blog: https://viiblog.com/index.php?route=blog/category&blog_category_id=3 VIIgarden: https://us.viigarden.com/
