Five skincare myths worth dropping

The pricier, the more effective

Price often reflects the brand, the packaging and the marketing rather than the concentration of actives. What works is the formula and its percentages, not the label.

Natural means safe

Essential oils and plant extracts are a common cause of irritation and allergy. In cosmetics “synthetic” usually means “stable and predictable”, not “harmful”.

Pores can be shrunk

Pore size is genetic and does not change with toners or cold water. Their visibility can be reduced with regular care and sebum control. Physically closing them is not a thing.

Oily skin needs no moisture

Dehydrated skin compensates with more sebum. Skipping hydration usually does not solve oiliness — it amplifies it.

Anti-age care is only for the over-forties

Prevention beats correction: maintaining what you protected early is easier than rebuilding what is already lost.

We do not sell myths. We work with what science actually supports.
