Do I think more expensive means more effective?

by Amber on June 16, 2009

in product reviews,skincare

In the battle for bigger, better skincare the options are almost overwhelming.  Unless you’ve done your research, be prepared to be baffled by the latest skincare innovations and by terms like “peptides” and “tissue growth factor”.  So many of these products show impressive clinical data yet we don’t stick with them long enough to see a measurable result before we convince ourselves that it’s “not working” and move on to the next latest and greatest on the market.  We’re not doing ourselves any favors!  I’m guilty of it myself.

When I found myself gravitating towards a few medical-grade RSF skincare products for several weeks in my cabinet, I knew something positive was happening in my skin and was happy with my trial run of RSF Eye Serum and Anti-Wrinkle Cream after just 2 weeks of consistent use.  In addition to my weekly exfoliation, I thought my skin looked brighter and more vibrant with my eyes not absolutely screaming my age.  I’d like to think if my skin were a little more mature, it would respond even better.  The science and quality of the product is there with RSF, just be prepared to pay for that science.  I don’t necessarily believe that more expensive means better, but I would plunk down a considerable amount if I knew something was going to target my concerns and prolong the skin’s aging process!  I’m a firm believer in all of those peptides and new-fangled technologies that keep popping up– I really think as far as the evolution of skincare goes, time is really on our side!

I agree….”more expensive” doesn’t necessarily mean better, but many times it means more active ingredients. I would/will definitely pay for something if I see real results!
