The truth about expensive skincare vs drugstore skincare #shorts

Expensive skincare products don’t automatically mean superior products or better results. Often it just means really, really good marketing. How effective a skincare product is depends more on whether or not you choose the right product for your unique skin needs and the ingredients and overall formulation of said product, not how much it costs. Trust that drugstore skincare has more clinical data and R&D to back their products than the fancy brands at the department store.

770 One product 😮😮….. even a micro needling and a chemical peel cost me less than that.

“white caviar pearl infused” you cannot be buying that and thinking it’s not a hoax 😭

[jujutrini]

If I see that something says pearls, diamonds, platinum, gold or caviar I know it is just marketing itself to be a luxury skincare product as none of those ingredients will do anything special for my skin. I DO know that retinol, hyaluronic acid, matrixyl 3000 and other peptides work to improve/maintain the skin.

I was sleeping on the Roc brand and now it’s goto. The vitamin c serum and cream is good, good!

[FantasmagoriaAhoy]

I bought some crazy expensive moisture serum ONE time...just to see...

Neutrogena Water Gel is WAY better.

I just got the Lancome triple serum something because it was 40% off and I'm just done with another serum I have, I can justify it I promise 😅😅
P.s doc your audio (especially in contrast to the first part) is very very quiet, can you turn it louder for future videos please? 🙏🏻

[Joy_LaFaye]

[shannonnefra]

La Roche are the most expensive skincare products I purchase.

[annierose]

If u spend that much on skincare.. you have more money than you have sense

[lauryn]

honestly I watch that initial video and cringed 😭 I don’t know how people fall for that ridiculous marketing

[Aceofwolves]

Expensive doesn't mean better. Science does.

Hi dr Alexis what type of laser should be used for dark skin for effect laser removal.

[vacationeyes]

$770 😂 No thanks. I'd buy a year's worth of skincare with that.

I think Wendy is aware of that, but maybe we need a intervention for her boyfriend when it comes to it 😂

My face cleared up using 10% BPO, Korean rice toner and snail mucin. I’m also taking 100mg of spironolactone.
