Last week, a friend privately wrote me saying that I was sunburned on vacation, can I use Petrov cucumber mask to apply it?
I checked the filing ingredients, isn't this a lonely dress?
01 丨The main ingredient
The main active ingredients claimed on the official website are cucumber extract, aloe vera extract and chamomile extract, which are less than 1%, which is difficult to play a significant effect.
I have indeed seen some plant extracts added only 0.1% to take effect, but generally are ultra-concentrated powders, but the addition of several plant extracts here are water extracts, and the content of the functional ingredients in them will be much lower.
02丨 Contradictions
Plus, there's a paradox in the recipe. The product is added with bilberry, sugar cane, orange, lemon and sugar maple extract, which is a blend of plant extracts containing natural fruit acids that can gently exfoliate and brighten the skin tone, I often use this raw material as a serum to exfoliate, what I can't understand is that the cucumber mask is thickened with [carbomer].
Carbomer is an acrylic macromolecular polymer that requires only a few tenths of a dozen additions to magically convert liquids into gel formulations, but it usually has to use alkali to adjust the pH of the material to more than 6 to form a gel, so that the fruit acid is also added to a loneliness.
03丨Other ingredients
Although the formula contains exfoliating protease in papaya mango and pineapple extracts, which is not affected by pH, these ingredients also make the formula look good, considering the very small amount of additions;
The ingredient that really works may be the allantoin in the formula, which not only soothes, but also softens and protects the skin, and can promote wound healing, and only needs a few tenths of a minute to add to the effect.
Then in order to match the theme of the cucumber mask, the product was adjusted to a small fresh green with pigment, perhaps the color is very good, the texture of the jelly is very Q and then with a little soothing effect, so that this product has become a popular internet celebrity.
So skin care products really can not use fame and price to judge the quality of products, if you really want to repair the skin that is red after sunburn, or choose the aloe vera gel or Carrey Boy repair gel that we have tested before will be more reliable.
