How long does it take for anti-aging skin care to be effective?

In fact, there is really no unified standard answer. If you apply it quickly, you will see improvement immediately. If you do it slowly, it will take 3 months or even longer before visible lines will become lighter. If you want to delay sagging from the root cause, you may even have to persist in years to see the obvious difference with your peers.

Not long ago, I tested an Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 serum with my best friend, which focuses on instant plumping. She stayed up late the night before to catch up on the plan, and her nasolabial folds almost fell to her chin. After cleansing, I applied a thick layer of half a tube, patted my face and absorbed it in about 10 minutes. I screamed in the mirror. The apples of my skin visibly plumped up, and my nasolabial folds faded by almost a third. However, this kind of immediate effect basically relies on the ingredients to fill the fine lines and gaps in the epidermis, plus a little bit of blood circulation promotion effect. After sleeping, it will still be the same after you sleep. Don't regard this as a successful anti-aging.

Of course, this kind of effect that comes after applying it is, to put it bluntly, a "temporary touch-up" anti-aging effect. If the anti-aging ingredients really penetrate into the dermis and stimulate the growth of collagen, then there is no rush. Take the most familiar A-alcohol, for example. I started to build tolerance from a low concentration of 0.1%. In the first two weeks, there were no other changes except that my face felt a little dry and it felt a little slippery than before. I thought I had bought a fake. However, when I was about to use it for the third month, one day I took a comparison picture of my face without makeup, and I discovered that the dry lines at the end of my eyes that used to be caked with powder when I smiled have faded to the point where they are almost invisible. The jawline, which used to feel a little loose, has also become much tighter. I have also talked about this with everyone in the skin care group. Some people said that they saw the lines become lighter after using A-ol for a month, while others did not feel any obvious effects after using it for half a year. In fact, it is not the fault of the product. It is tied to the concentration you use, the transdermal rate of the formula, and your own skin condition and living habits. If you stay up until two or three o'clock every day and hold milk tea and barbecue, even if you use a ten-thousand-yuan anti-aging essence, the effect will be half. If you have sensitive skin that cannot stand the stimulation of A alcohol, you can switch to more stable anti-aging ingredients such as Bosein and mild peptides. The effect may be slower for a month and a half to a month, but the advantage is that it is not easy to ruin your face, and it is more cost-effective for skin with poor tolerance.

As for the kind of long-term anti-aging that fights against face collapse and prevents real wrinkles, it is really a matter of time and progress. My mother has insisted on applying anti-aging cream every day and doing anti-aging facial mask once a week since she was 30 years old. She rarely stays up late at night. Now she is over 50. The static lines on her face are less than half of those of her aunt in the same workplace who stayed bare-faced every day and did not do much skin care, and her face is not that loose. She always said that this is the result of more than 20 years of accumulation, and it cannot be achieved by applying it for three to five months.

In fact, there is no need to look at your wrinkles in front of the mirror every day to look for changes. Anti-aging is a matter of "prevention is better than cure". Choose the right products that suit you, and follow a regular schedule. You will naturally see the results over time. On the contrary, you will be anxious every day and not sleep well, which will also accelerate aging. It is not worth the gain.
