Is your anti aging skin care products expensive?  The skin care ingredients should be high quality if it is costly.But expensive doesn't guarantee quality or if it even will do the job.

Why do skin care manufacturers put high prices on products that either are of poor performance or don't work at all?  One reason is that they keep changing the packaging and some of the anti aging skin care ingredients. This is because the last package failed and/or the product did.  So these changes can result in price increases.

Fancy Department Store Hype

Skin care products are popularized many ways.  Celebrity endorsement and heavy advertising on network shows and infomericals.  All of this costs plenty of dough.  So the skin product price goes sky high to cover the overhead.

Why Sky High Prices

We have covered some the reasons.  There is location; high traffic areas are not cheap to rent. Factory costs, employees, and a big one is shipping.

Every business has overhead costs.  But the most important factor we want to consider is not the costs but the INGREDIENTS.  If the skin care product is to work and be safe, the ingredients must be of the highest quality and preferably be truly natural.  So companies cut down on the ingredients to save money.  But then they put out a cheap, ineffective product.

Marketing

Marketing a product is much of the cost.   Somehow the customers need to know about the product.  Usually that takes expensive advertising.  So to keep the price low, effective and safe ingredients are substituted for cheap, synthetic ones.  The customer who buys such a product is the loser.

Anti Aging Skin Ingredients

It is no secret to skin care companies as to what ingredients are the ones that work. But as mentioned already, those ingredients are not cheap and are therefore usually "watered down".  I mean this literally.  Read the label.  The first listed ingredient is the largest in volume.  It is probably water or petroleum jelly.  Water being first doesn't in itself make the product bad.  But it better have some powerful ingredients to back it up.  Otherwise you just bought a jar of petroleum-water. UGGHH.

What Should Be in Your Skin Care Product?

The ingredients that work, really work, should be a concentration of at least 50%.  Half of the contents in the jar, bottle or tube should be safe and effective.

As said, water usually is the 50% in most bad, over the counter products that may be harmful to your face, neck and skin around the eyes.    Filler ingredients, dyes, fragrances and parabens are abundant in many skin care lines.  Read the label.  I have more information on what products to avoid on my website listed below.

Department Stores and Drug Stores

High end and low end stores are not the place to get good quality products.  One will overcharge you and the other is so cheap that most people fall for the so called savings.   So where can a good quality product be found without being ripped off?

The internet is probably the best place today to find quality at an affordable price.  Usually the best skin care companies are the ones that also carry a line of quality nutritional supplements.  Let me warn you here.  Not all internet companies have your interest at heart.  And not all of their products, skin care or nutritional are natural.  Some are synthetic.  So you may as well go the the discount store.  Here is what my research showed me.  Please pay close attention.

Effective and Safe Skin Ingredients

CoQ10, Wakame Sea Weed, Grape Seed Extract, Vitamin E and Cynergy TK; These are the ingredients you need in your skin care products and in your nutritional supplements.  If you don't get these then you are wasting your money.  I found one company that passed all the tests of safety, quality, effectiveness and price.See my website below for the complete details.  Thank you, Margaret Bell
