What separates a cheap face cream from an expensive one?

Question

Is it worth spending lots of money on the more expensive face creams, or do they have basically the same ingredients as the cheaper ones?

Answer 1

Sometimes it can be name brand and where you purchase it from, like in department stores. Quality ingredients and science is what separates quality from just poor quantity. Cheap products are usually filled with fillers, ingredients that don't really effect the skin. If you look at the first ingredient on the back that is what your product has the most of. The last ingredients are the least in that product. So,say you look at a moisturizer that contained hyluronic acid which is great for your skin and its listed last on the back of the bottle. Don't buy it. Scientifically if the ingredients are not molecular structured small enough to penetrated your skin you probably won't see good results. Expensive products usually contain less but last just as long or longer due to there concentration. Cheap products have more in the bottle but its just more junk.
Hope that made sense. Make sure your products are hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. Its should say on product.

Answer 2

Cheap Face Cream

Answer 3

Expensive face creams are expensive for a reason. The quality of ingredients and the research into finding what works best all cost extra money. With my face I do not take chances with generics.

Answer 4

I doubt ringworm. Ring worm is perfectly round and all the hair would be gone in a perfect round circle. I know that ringworm is very contagious to other pets and humans so wash your hands. This is probably more stress related or a scratch that got infected. I would keep it clean with a warm wet cloth. I would put bag balm on the area. If it is ringworm you can get a lotion from the vet and it is not to $$. $15.00??. Does the cat scratch at it? Will you keep the cat if not ringworm? You might call a local vet and tell them the story. They might give you a break and or look for a local rescue group. They might have some good advice.

Answer 5

Cheap ones aren't that good of quality. Granted you may get more for your money but I'd rather buy something in a smaller container that's more likely to work than waste money on one that didn't work.

Ingrediants aren't the same. No matter what the outside tells you.

Answer 6

The difference is in quality of ingredients used in the products and the use of (sometimes) harmful fillers. I agree with the previous poster that you should check into Bee-Luscious. They are top of the line. The best I have ever used.

Answer 7

Quality ingredients. It makes all the difference.
