If you’ve used the same drugstore cleanser and moisturizer for the last twenty or thirty-odd years, you may not know where to begin with the more advanced formulations—or whether they’re worth the higher price tag. It can be hard to find skincare products that effectively target your needs, especially when you're unsure what makes a quality product.
Below, we’ll discuss why it's worth investing in good-quality skincare, what to look out for when comparing skincare products, and how you can get your own updated routine from Isomers, from anti-aging platinum peptides to azelaic acid for acne-prone complexions.
Formulation Quality
Quality skincare is about more than a fancy label and a well-known name brand—it’s all about the quality of the ingredients and the actual benefits they provide to the skin.
At Isomers, all of our skincare products are intensively researched, formulated, and tested in our lab. We focus on ingredients that are scientifically proven to benefit the skin, such as retinoids, vitamin C, hydroxy acids, botanical extracts, and more.
Many lower-quality, mass-market options use excessive fillers and fragrances in their formulations, which can sometimes irritate the skin and may not offer many skin benefits.
Many of these products also feature very few active ingredients and more fillers. This can prevent your skin from getting the nutrients it needs, along with benefits like good hydration and skin barrier protection. General mass market lines are more focused on nice scents and how the product feels on the skin. While it provides a nice experience, it doesn't do anything to improve or fix the skin. Isomers Skincare is all about developing formulations to fix and correct skin concerns, providing long-term benefits that reduce the need for expensive skin repair.
Small Doses, Longer Use
While you may look at higher-end skincare product sizes and think the price doesn’t match the quantity, the reality is you’re only using small doses of each ingredient at a time.
Due to their more potent and concentrated form, higher-quality skincare products only require you to use small amounts for each application. In fact, if you use too much at once, it can cause irritation and discomfort due to the powerful effects of some ingredients.
In contrast, lower-quality skincare may require you to use a higher dose every time to see a significant difference, due to lower concentrations of active ingredients in their formulas.
While high-quality products can cost more upfront, you often won’t have to replace them as frequently, making them a more cost-effective choice in the long run.
More Targeted, Personalized Skincare
Quality skincare brands invest in thorough research and development to formulate products that not only target skin concerns but also offer lasting results. Individuals who struggle with intense skincare issues often require more targeted options that can be hard to locate in your local drug store.
At Isomers, we provide skincare products that can help a wide variety of skin concerns, from uneven pigmentation to menopausal skin.
For instance, if you want to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, protect your skin against blue light exposure and oxidative stress, and improve hydration, platinum peptides can help you target these concerns. Our Platinum Peptide Brightening Cream features a powerful peptide blend for women 40+. This product is great for professionals who work with computers and screens daily and are regularly exposed to blue light.
If you struggle with recurring acne, our 14% Azelaic Acid Booster Complex helps regulate excess oil production, calm the skin to reduce redness and irritation, provides essential moisture without heaviness, and so much more. The key ingredients in this complex include azelaic acid, licorice root extract, mediacalm, and salicylic acid to effectively target acne and blackheads to prevent future breakouts.
Whatever your skincare goals, you can find targeted, results-driven formulations from Isomers Skincare to help you take charge of your skin health and appearance.
