List of ingredients of Blue Ocean Mystery Cream
The inner activities of female friends in the blue ocean mystery cream test are roughly like this: anyway, you skin care products love to spit out this palace-class product. After all, there is no way to explain why people have such a good reputation, which belongs to the mentality of not eating grapes.
Men's mentality is: tell some truth quickly and let them buy less, or change to a cheaper one. It's a waste to spend so much money without seeing the change. To tell you the truth, I have never thought about this product before.
I have seen the ingredients of their star products for a long time, and I don't think there is anything special, unlike the same lady brand La Prairie. Take the most popular cream as an example. From the perspective of ingredients, it is a cream with strong moisturizing function, and there are few effective ingredients in the core system. Perhaps, it always loves to be spit out for this reason. You sold it at this price and fooled us with this raw material?
No one likes to be fooled, especially "smart people". In the tucao army, an example is often cited as evidence. It's a comparison of the effects of La Mer and Nivea blue jar moisturizer used by a British female reporter.
The formula and skin feel of the two products with a price difference of 100 times are similar. VISA, a tall equipment specially designed by NASA to monitor astronauts' skin, was used, and the conclusion was that Nivea won.
This test conclusion, of course, is conducive to the spread, it caters to people's aversion to manufacturers' excessive packaging and profiteering pricing. First of all, my views on the test results:
Comparing 1 and only 1 groups, the result cannot be an absolute conclusion.
Any test, influenced by different factors, may have different results, such as the age of the subject, skin characteristics, use time and so on.
2. Testing with a single product is not enough to evaluate the product value of a brand.
When designing the efficacy of products, excellent formulators often pay more attention to the efficacy system under a product combination, rather than deliberately taking care of the comprehensive ability of each single product.
Personal evaluation of Blue Ocean Mystery Cream La Mer Cream focuses on two functions: moisturizing and repairing.
About moisturizing.
This is a high moisturizing product. Its principle is mainly to use high molecular oily raw materials, such as mineral oil, paraffin wax, lanolin and other non-physiological lipids, to form a hydrophobic oil film outside keratinocytes, thus playing a barrier role and moisturizing the skin. Simply put, it is to put a layer of grease wrap on your skin. Common products of this formulation system:
1. Moisturizing products from the supermarket. For example, some old domestic brands, as well as Nivea's baskets and cans mentioned earlier. Because raw materials are cheap, they can often be seen in supermarkets.
2. Children's products. The cuticle of children's skin is relatively thin, and there is not much oil secretion, so the corresponding moisturizing products often use this thick oil formula.
3, hand cream. Pay more attention to skin protection, and at the same time, you don't need to care about skin feeling like facial products.
Advantages and disadvantages of this formula system in moisturizing effect:
The advantage is that the moisturizing effect is obvious. In the repair of barrier function, the types of barrier abnormalities are not identified, and the repair degree of barrier obstacles caused by different reasons is the same. The disadvantage is that it is airtight, which will affect the normal breathing of the skin to a certain extent. For oily skin and people who love acne, it is easy to get acne. In addition, barrier repair can not fundamentally correct the biochemical abnormalities of skin, and other repair products are needed.
Suitable for who:
Suitable for people with dry and neutral skin, use it when the skin is very dry, such as winter. It is also suitable for people under 14 years old and over 45 years old. During this period, sebaceous glands have weak oil secretion ability, and the skin is easy to dry, so it is not easy to stew acne.
Who is not suitable for:
Oily skin and people prone to acne can be used for skin first aid under special circumstances, but it is not suitable for long-term use.
About repair and other functions.
La Mer fans should be familiar with their brand stories. A former NASA space physicist was accidentally burned in the experiment, so he developed a product with good repair effect for himself. When many women use this cream, they find that it does have an effect on some wounds and keloids on the skin. Coupled with this touching brand story, it is easy to become a die-hard fan of a brand immediately. I can't blame them Skin care products can repair such a serious wound problem. This effect feels against the sky, not to mention some pores and wrinkles. The brand is also very happy that everyone can imagine this, and will not stand up and explain the principle of this effect clearly, and then tell you that it has nothing to do with pores and wrinkles.
The repair effect of La mer cream is mainly related to the emollient used.
Its emollient is oil with high spreadability, which can form a film with greater strength and longer retention time on the skin surface. For this kind of film, it is difficult to apply even at the expense of the sense of use. Not only moisturizing, but also other magical effects are mainly related to the characteristics of this film. Let me give you an analogy, two main functions, which are easy to understand: the function of "bandage" and the principle of "dog skin plaster"
The function of "bandage" is based on the therapeutic principle of encapsulation. The non-physiological oil used by La Mer can form a water vapor permeable membrane on the skin surface, instantly strengthen the hydration of the skin, and make the process of cell metabolism (repair) continue under the epidermis to avoid other interference. Similar to our injuries, covering the skin with breathable bandages can speed up the healing of wounds and scars. The effect of this band-aid is mainly related to the nature of the film, and it is basically ineffective for non-fresh scars.
Attentive fans may have seen the description of the efficacy of their products in La Mer's promotional materials: "Skin Invisible Bandage". I don't feel anything if I know the principle. If you don't know the principle, the art of language can still give people's imagination wonderful wings.
The principle of "dog skin plaster" refers to the way of administration through skin absorption, and this concept has also promoted the development of mask industry. The traditional wet tissue mask leaves a deep impression on consumers by this medical administration method, which can enhance the permeability of active ingredients to the skin. Similarly, La Mer cream uses oil with high spreadability, and the formed film has high strength and long retention time. After using the efficacy essence, applying a cream is equivalent to combining a mask in principle. Compared with the cream with better lubricity and breathability, it has stronger penetration promoting ability.
Besides, the core of product permeability is determined by the molecular weight and formula of active ingredients. Both face cream and facial mask can help improve the efficacy of some products, but they don't play a key role.
What kind of mentality should be used to treat this kind of products correctly?
I love tea, and I only love cinnamon in rock tea. In recent years, cinnamon in Niulankeng has been fried very hot, and the price is much higher than other mountain farms. The same mellow taste, for exquisite old tea drinkers, the only thing that can't be given up is the fascinating special tea fragrance.
La Mer's face cream is famous. It must have a skill. Although it is not obviously different from other products with the same design idea, I still believe it has its own uniqueness. As for whether it is worth it or not, it is a personal balance. As for the "mysterious ingredients" of high-end skin care products promotion, we can talk about it again when we have the opportunity. We can regard them as the added value of products, and we can't base the core efficacy of a product on such unclear and vague things.
Advice for everyone:
Economic conditions permit, you are free, you need to pay attention to the collocation of skin. In addition, knowing more about the efficacy principle of some products and formulating a product matching strategy suitable for your skin is more beneficial to your skin than spending money indiscriminately and blindly overlapping various products.
If the budget for skin care is not enough, you can choose substitutes according to the principle. Maybe you can also use 1000 to combine the effect of 10000 products.
